I get a 404 error when trying to access a .jsp file under my WEB-INF directory and I can't figure out why - maven

Question

I've looked at every post I could find on the this issue but every time I do it seems like my configurations are as they should be.
When I type in the URL http:/localhost:8080/ I get the correct index.jsp displayed, but when I type in http:/localhost:8080/account I get the 404 error.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You have added #RequestMapping("/account")
public class AccountController {
above your controller class, Therefore your controller will only map requests with /accounts header only,
As you have added #RequestMapping(value = "/account", method = RequestMethod.GET) in your method also, the controller will be looking for a accounts/accounts/ requests to execute the particular method.
Try http:/localhost:8080/account/account
or remove the class level request mapping.
