Why is my JSP not allowed?

Question

My dispatcher is servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"> <mvc:annotation-driven/> <context:component-scan base-package="com.example" /> <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" p:prefix="/WEB-INF/views/" p:suffix=".jsp" p:viewClass="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/> </beans> 

And this is my controller

 package com.example.spring; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.ui.Model; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView; @Controller public class HelloController { @RequestMapping("/form.htm") public ModelAndView hello(Model model) { return new ModelAndView("index"); } } 

I see this in my console when I have an application in debugging.

 WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/WEB-INF/views/index.jsp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcher' 

The controller receives a hit and returns a view, but then it cannot be resolved.

Answer 1

It looks like in your web.xml

The following may be missing:

 <servlet> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/WEB-INF/views/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

As @Javi already commented, this already answered here .

Answer 2

Add index.jsp to the / WEB-INF / views / directory.
