Using in spring 3 causes all other views to stop working

Question

Simplest example:

I have a dispatcher servlet configured to catch everything:

    dispatcher

        

Answer 1

There are 2 problems:

1. Never use /* in servlet mapping:

   <servlet-mapping> 
       <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name> 
       <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> 
   </servlet-mapping> 
   

2. <mvc:resources> requires <mvc:annotation-driven> (or explicitly declared handler mappings, etc).

   This happens because DispatcherServlet applies default configuration of handler mappings only when no custom handler mappings found in the context. Since <mvc:resources> adds its own handler mapping, defaults are broken, therefore other handler mappings should be decalred explicitly, either by <mvc:annotation-driven> or manually as beans.

   Also note that <mvc:resources> declares only DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping and doesn't declare other mappings such as BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping, though they are in defaults of DispatcherServlet. Declare them manually if you need them.

Answer 2

I also met this problem before. My situation was I didn't put all the 62 spring framework jars into the lib file (spring-framework-4.1.2.RELEASE edition), it did work. And then I also changed the 3.0.xsd into 2.5 or 3.1 for test, it all worked out. Of course, there are also other factors to affect your result.

Answer 3

add "mvc:annotation-driven" line into view resolvers SpringWeb.XML file. it is work for me
