#RequestParam annotation at class level not working as expected - spring

Question

This is the controller:
package com.spring.controller;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
import org.jboss.logging.annotations.Param;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import com.spring.DAO.CountryDAO;
import com.spring.DAO.HospitalDAO;
import com.spring.DAO.HospitalSpecialityDAO;
import com.spring.DAO.SpecialityDAO;
import com.spring.VO.HospitalSpecialityVO;
import com.spring.VO.HospitalVO;
import com.spring.VO.SpecialityVO;
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/admin")
public class HospitalController {
#Autowired
CountryDAO country;
#Autowired
HospitalDAO hospital;
#Autowired
SpecialityDAO Speciality;
#Autowired
HospitalSpecialityDAO hospitalSpeciality;
#RequestMapping("/addHospital.html")
public ModelAndView addHospital(HttpSession session) throws Exception {
List<Object> list = this.country.getCountry();
session.setAttribute("list", list);
List<Object> slist = this.Speciality.getSpeciality();
session.setAttribute("slist", slist);
return new ModelAndView("admin/addHospital",
"insertHospitalSpeciality", new HospitalSpecialityVO());
}
}
And this is the URL which I want to map:
/projectname/admin/addHospital.html
This is the web.xml file:

</beans>
But when I call the following url:
http://localhost:8080/health/admin/addHospital.html
I get:
HTTP Status 404 - /health/admin/WEB-INF/view/admin/addHospital.jsp
Here health is the project name.
I am not able to figure out that while getting the result why it is trying to put admin before WEB-INF as shown in error.
Why can't it just get result from /health/WEB-INF/view/admin/addHospital.jsp?
Also if anyone can provide any alternate solution to this it would be much helpful.

Answer 1

In your view resolver configuration, put / before WEB-INF/view/ and for CSS and JavaScript resources use mvc:resources tag to configure resource location and in JSP import them using c:url.
