Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet

Question

I\'m trying to run my web application using Spring, Hibernate and Apache Tiles. It seems the code has no errors, but I\'m just getting a 404 page.

/var/log/tomcat7/c

Answer 1

I solved it.

There are two contexts: root (application wide) and servlet context I defined viewResolver, tilesConfigurer, tx:annotation-driven and mvc:annotation-driven in the root context.

Moving it to the servlet context solved the problem.

UPDATED I've moved viewResolver, tilesConfigurer, tx:annotation-driven and mvc:annotation-driven definitions from applicationContext.xml to contextConfigLocation (dispatcher-servlet.xml)

Answer 2

Try sending ModelAndView instead of String Or

You can send map object as parameter to ModelandView method(which is already overloaded)

@Controller 
@RequestMapping("/") 
public class BlogController {
    @RequestMapping("/index.html")
    public ModelAndView posts(Map<String, Object> map) {
      return new ModelAndView("/index.jsp", "status", status);
    } 
}
