404 Error from REST Endpoint in SpringMVC for DispatcherServlet - spring

Question

RESOLVED PER THIS ANSWER
Spring invokes wrong controller mapping
Spring #Controllers URLs are always interpreted relative the the Spring Dispatcher Servlet that handles them. So if you map the dispatcher servlet to /api/ in web.xml then the URL to your controller above is /api/api/choice
The double string service/service/1234 was working.
ORIGINAL POST
Accessing a REST resource endpoint gives me a 404 error although everything seems to be defined correctly:
Log output:
DEBUG DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher' processing GET request for [/myapp/service/1234]
DEBUG Looking up handler method for path /1234
DEBUG Did not find handler method for [/1234]
WARN No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/myapp/service/1234] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'
web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
<param-value>org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/service/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
SpringMVC Controller
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/service")
public class RESTController {
#RequestMapping(value="/{id}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String getResult ( #PathVariable String id )
{
//... get JSON result
}
}
Expected invocation: myapp/service/1234
Also tried these options:
1) Don't define a class RequestMapping, just do a Method Request Mapping
#RequestMapping("/service/{id}")
2) as well as
#RequestMapping("/service*/{id}")
#RequestMapping("/service**/{id}")
Keep getting a 404 with the log above.

Answer 1

update your web.xml file :
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
