No mapping found for HTTP request with URI in two DispatcherServlet - spring

Question

My web.xml states dispatcher-servlet url pattern as:
<!-- root context -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<!-- admin context -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>adminServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/admin-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>adminServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/admin/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
two servlet-mapping files are described as
<!--servlet-context.xml for appServlet-->
<annotation-driven />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/" />
<beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</beans:bean>
<!--admin-context.xml for adminServlet-->
<annotation-driven />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/admin/" />
<beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</beans:bean>
and I coded two controllers for the test. one is ok but the other met "error"
#Controller("admin.IndexController")
#RequestMapping("/admin")
public class AdminIndexController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String home(Locale locale, Model model) {
...
return "index";
//I thought this location will be /myContext/WEB-INF/view/admin/index.jsp
//and it run well
}
}
but the following controller couldn't find it's next page.
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/admin")
public class AddCategoryController {
#RequestMapping(value={"/category/add"}, method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String form(Model model){
...
return "addCategory";
//I thought the location will be /myContext/WEB-INF(/view/admin/category/)index.jsp
//but Spring forwarded to /myContext/WEB-INF/view/addCategory.jsp
}
}
if I write the code as "return admin/index;" this has no problem.
But I think AddCategoryController has to be handled by adminServlet and admin-context.xml.
Because AddCategoryController calls addCategory.jsp as the way of relative path, so they both should be on the same path. but I met fail... Can you tell me what is wrong?

You can achieve everything by registering servlet only once. Do not know why you are registering DispatcherServlet twice. You can give the root jsp folder path like "/WEB-INF/view/ and then in code you can move to different jsps in subfolders like /admin/index.jsp
