java - Basic Spring MVC config: PageNotFound using InternalResourceViewResolver -

i'm trying first spring 3 mvc setup running.

my app running on tomcat, in server context of "grapevine"

for purposes of testing, i'm trying requests http://localhost:8080/grapevine/test render contents of web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp

when try this, i'm getting 404, , logs suggest jsp isn't present:

warn  org.springframework.web.servlet.pagenotfound  - no mapping found http request uri [/grapevine/web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp] in dispatcherservlet name 'grapevine' 

i must have mis-configured somewhere, can't see i've done wrong.

here's relevant snippets.

web.xml:

<servlet>     <servlet-name>grapevine</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet</servlet-class>     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>grapevine</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

from context:

<mvc:annotation-driven /> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.internalresourceviewresolver">     <property name="prefix" value="/web-inf/jsp/"/>     <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/> </bean> 

controller:

@controller public class participantinvitationcontroller {  @requestmapping("/test") public modelandview test() {     return new modelandview("nosuchinvitation"); } 

log:

debug org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet  - rendering view [org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jstlview: name 'nosuchinvitation'; url [/web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp]] in dispatcherservlet name 'grapevine' debug org.springframework.web.servlet.view.jstlview  - forwarding resource [/web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp] in internalresourceview 'nosuchinvitation' debug org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet  - dispatcherservlet name 'grapevine' processing request [/grapevine/web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp] warn  org.springframework.web.servlet.pagenotfound  - no mapping found http request uri [/grapevine/web-inf/jsp/nosuchinvitation.jsp] in dispatcherservlet name 'grapevine' debug org.springframework.security.web.context.httpsessionsecuritycontextrepository  - securitycontext contents anonymous - context not stored in httpsession.  debug org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet  - completed request 

this because <url-pattern> in web.xml "wide". value of /* means servlet configured receive requests, , includes request servlet jsp. error message you're seeing dispatcherservlet, receiving own forwarded request.

you should pick more specific <url-pattern>, e.g. <url-pattern>/xyz/*</url-pattern>, url becomes http://localhost:8080/grapevine/xyz/test, , should work fine.
