Servlet URL pattern to match all URL - spring

Question

I'm current using Spring MVC to do a project. I having problem using the url-pattern to direct my jsp page. Everytime I create a new jsp page, I have to hardcode the jsp name into the web.xml.
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0">
<display-name>ShoppingCart</display-name>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<!-- Once DispatcherServlet is initialized will look for file name [servlet-name]-servlet.xml, dispatcher-servlet.xml -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- all request matches with <url-pattern> will be handled by DispatcherServlet instance named dispatcher -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/register.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/login.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/update.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Answer 1

Specify your servlet general url-mapping on web.xml and then handle its sub URLS on your controllers
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Configure an InternalResourceViewResolver bean on your dispatcher-context.xml
<beans:bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
<beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</beans:bean>
On your Controller :
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/")
public class ControllerRegister{
#RequestMapping("register")
public String goToRegisterPage(){
return "register";
}
}
this will serve register.jsp under folder WEB-INF/views/ wehn calling URL:
http://yourHost:port/yourApp/register
