I'm trying to understand the following issue. When I type url http://localhost:8076/demoproject_war/test.jsp spring is able to load test.jsp page. Here is the pic of my directory structure.
My question is how spring loads ./test.jsp even though I don't have any mappings in my controller class for ./test.jsp . Does not this request go to controller to check the mappings?
Spring does not load this JSP when you go to that URL. You're navigating directly to the JSP. It is considered a bad practice as you're not controlling the execution in this case. You should put the JSPs inside a webapp/WEB-INF directory. Then, the won't be accessible directly.

Updated: to describe the question more clearly
I create a web applicaiton with spring boot and thymeleaf, everything works fine if I open the login page, then login, then head for the management module or reports module sequently.
The proleam occurs when I type the url locahost:8080/send/kf/index(needs to authenticate, but I have open access to all in customized filter) in the browser, the page loads without js and css. In debug mode, I saw /send/kf was unexpectly put into the path like the following. I can get the resource if I access localhost:8080/assets/avatars/avatar.png.
The following is the folder structure I put my static resources. How could /send/kf automatically added into the url, please help me solve this problem. Thanks!
you can use spring.resources.static-locations in your application.properties file
spring.resources.static-locations=classpath:/resources/css/
spring.mvc.static-path-pattern=/resources/**
this is taken form documentation
Note:Static resources, like JavaScript or CSS, can easily be served from your Spring Boot application just be dropping them into the right place in the source code. By default Spring Boot serves static content from resources in the classpath at "/static" (or "/public")
Using /assets/ instead of assets/ fixes the issue, as otherwise it's a relative url that's supposed to get added to the end of existing url.
I find a solution for this question. I don't know how /send/kf is put into the url for the static resources, but I think if I put the controller mapping under the root path, this problem should avoid. As I think, the url is correct and resources can load successfully.
#Controller
public class ManualMessageController {
#Autowired
private MsgTemplateRepository msgTemplateRepository;
#RequestMapping("/manualMsg")
public String manualMsg(Model model){
model.addAttribute("msgTemplateList", msgTemplateRepository.findByStatus(1));
return "manualMessage";
}
}
updated:
The right solution is to use absolute path rather than relative path in the project. So change assets/css to /assets/css works.
I'm using spring-boot-starter-data-rest and spring-boot-starter-web.
I've made a simple project using a CrudRepository, letting spring boot generate the rest request mappings.
Now, I want to add a client -- making the rest calls -- live under ./.
Hence, I'm trying to prefix the paths for the rest calls (and only those!) with /api.
I've tried the answers from :
How to specify prefix for all controllers in Spring Boot?
using settings in the application.properties file
server.contextPath=/api/*
spring.data.rest.basePath=/api/*.
But still the static content (e.g. index.html, *.js, *.css) is not fetched using ./. There urls are also prefixed by "/api/".
The rest calls are properly served under /api/foos.
Is there a way to tell spring not to treat urls that lead to sources located in src/main/resources/public as 'rest-controllers'?
Update
Setting the property
spring.data.rest.basePath=/api/*
works perfectly. (I still had a programmatic bean configuration in my sandbox overriding this setting).
Spring controllers are made for serving both HTML and JSON/XML. The first one is done via Spring MVC Views and some template engine like Thymeleaf, the latter is handled entirely by Spring and #RestController.
There's no way to have a context path for only the controllers that returns JSON or XML data, and not for the other controllers as well, this also goes for static content. What you typically do is have some static variable containing the prefix you want for your APIs, and the use that in the controller's #RequestMapping. i.e.
#RestController
#RequestMapping(MyConstants.API_LATEST + "/bookings")
public class MyBookingsController {
...
}
You probably want to approach the prefix problem with something along these lines anyway. It is common to have to support older API versions when you have breaking changes, at least for some time.
I'm migrating a Play! 1.2 web application and moving to Spring Boot + Spring MVC. Some views contain URLs to other endpoints. For example, I display the book title on the page and next to it I want to add the URL to go the book's details page (e.g. localhost/books/{id}).
In Play! 1.2 the controllers are static, and there is also a Router which can create the full URL for a method belonging to another controller (Router.getFullUrl("BookController.bookDetails", args)), but how do I achieve this with Spring MVC?
Best regards,
Cristian.
If you are trying to get the app/deployed name automatically in .jsp files to make the urls, then please make use of context path. An example below :
<c:set var="context" value="${pageContext.request.contextPath}" />
<script src="${context}/themes/js/jquery.js"></script>
From your requirement "admin.myapp.com","admin-test.myapp.com" are server names right? Something like http://admin.myapp.com/book/{bookId},http://admin-test.myapp.com/book/{bookId}. In Spring app, relative path in jsp can be accessed using pageContext.request.contextPath
I also found the UriComponentsBuilder and ServletUriComponentsBuilder. They are similar to the Play! Framework router and provide methods for building URI's, handling parameters and the query etc. We chose to annotate the controllers' methods using constants and then use the same constants with the UriComponentsBuilder to build back the path and create the request query for GET requests.
I am new to spring mvc , I am creating a user registration page , there I need to put external css and import external js .
I put the script tag with src and link tag with href. But i think in Spring MVC application they will not work straight forward.
For this I added resourceservlet mapping but still it is not working
I am not able to find any way how I csn include these assets in my jsp file.
Please help me to get this one.
Regards,
Pranav
Put the CSS, JS, image files, etc., into a directory (which may contain subdirectories) in your web site, and than map the requests to that directory:
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/public-resources/"/>
In this example the files are in the public-resources directory, and you refer to them using /resources in the link in your JSP.
For more information see Spring docs
I have a quick question about how to use the Spring MVC.
I just started with it and i was used to have pages that always had their data loaded calling some controller that you setted ON THE PAGE.. calling some methods on controllers to load objects at the page at load time.
Is it the same in Spring MVC? Cuz what im seeing so far is that if you want to load a page with data, you always have to use a modelandview object which is loaded by a method that you must call before... and them you return the modelandview object with its destination to the view that you want.
What im trying to know is if there is a way that the page requests some data from the controller before it gets loaded... automatically...
Dont know if im making my self clear... thanks anyway for the help!
in spring mvc, using Controllers, it is always Request->Controller(populates model and chooses view)->Response.
you could use ajax to load data from any resource (even Controllers) or jsp:useBean to explicitly call some business logic or jsp:include to include a certain fragment or a custom jsp tag.
I also face the same situation.
check the below link for getting the data from the controller before view(JSP) load.
