No mapping found for HTTP request with URI… in DispatcherServlet with name [duplicate]

Answer 1

It is not finding the controllers, this is basic issues. it can be due to following reasons.

A. inside WEB-INF folder you have file web.xml that refers to dispatcherServlet. Here it this case is mvc-config.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

B. This mvc-config.xml file have namespaces and it has to scan the controllers.

<context:component-scan base-package="org.vimal.spring.controllers" />
<mvc:annotation-driven />

C. Check for the correctness of the package name where you have the controllers. It should work.

All Controllers must be Annotated with @Controller.

Answer 2

If you are using

<mvc:annotation-driven/> 

make sure your spring-servlet.xml has correct

<context:component-scan base-package="com.....controller" /> tag. 

Basically, you need to include all the packages where you have used the annotation in your java code.

Also, please ensure you do not have duplication of component-scan (for a discovery of beans). If your config XML already contains the element, then any of your Controller classes that are annotated with @ComponentScan(basePackages=... needs to be stripped of the said annotation.

Answer 3

Make sure

<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<context:component-scan base-package="com.hireartists.web.controllers"/>

points to proper package that contains controllers.

Answer 4

Had the exact same error and it took me a long time trying to understand it. It is most likely down to compilation errors, the java classes did not get published in your servlet. Please check this by going in the server that you are using \tmp1\wtpwebapps[PROJECT_NAME]\WEB-INF\classes\ and try to find you controller classes to see whether or not they have been published. If not you need to get to the bottom of any compilation errors.

Answer 5

I also faced the same issue, but after putting the namespace below, it works fine:

xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" 

Answer 6

If you are using Maven , Add these to your pom.xml

<dependency>
<groupid>javax.servlet</groupid>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>

<dependency>
<groupid>taglibs</groupid>
<artifactId>standard</artifactId>
<version>1.1.2</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
