I am trying to mix Spring MVC with Java Server Faces. I have a Spring 3.2 #Controller class, which returns a ModelAndView that is resolved to a JSF view. That view contains a <h:form> tag. The problem that I am having is that, on the rendered HTML, the form action attribute combines the original request URL with the name to resolve the view, creating a strange meaningless URL to which the form is POSTed. What I want is just the view name, without the original request URL.
Here is my controller class (org.my.test.MainController):
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/items")
public class MainController
{
#RequestMapping(value="/{itemId}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView retrieveItem( #PathVariable long itemId ) {
/* Retrieve item */
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
mav.addObject ("itemName", "A retrieved item");
mav.addObject ("itemId", itemId);
mav.setViewName ("/items");
return mav;
}
}
Here is my JSF template (/items.xhtml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html">
<h:head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>Edit item</title>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h3>Edit item</h3>
<p>
Item name: <h:inputText name="itemName" value="#{itemName}" />
</p>
<p>
Item id: <h:inputText name="itemId" value="#{itemId}" />
</p>
<p>
<h:commandButton value="Submit" />
</p>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
When I request the page http://localhost:8081/items/12345, what is served is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" >
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>Edit item</title></head><body><form id="j_id_6" name="j_id_6" method="post" action="/items/12345/items.xhtml" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
<h3>Edit item</h3>
<p>
Item name: <input id="j_id_6:j_id_8" name="j_id_6:j_id_8" type="text" value="A retrieved item" />
</p>
<p>
Item id: <input id="j_id_6:j_id_a" name="j_id_6:j_id_a" type="text" value="12345" />
</p>
<p><input id="j_id_6:j_id_c" name="j_id_6:j_id_c" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</p><input type="hidden" name="j_id_6_SUBMIT" value="1" /><input type="hidden" name="javax.faces.ViewState" id="javax.faces.ViewState" value="oyc7wGGKZrPGinPPmrv9PmTDy0GBlI3c+pjWpdK0KuY69faJ" /></form></body>
</html>
My problem is the bit that says action="/items/12345/items.xhtml" What I want is action="/items" or action="/items.xhtml"
My question has two parts: why is my setup combining the request URL with the view ID like this, and how do I make it stop?

This is all running in embedded Jetty 9.0.4. I have tried two different JSF implementations, Apache My-Faces 2.1.11 and Mojarra 2.2.1, both with the same effect. Spring version is 3.2.3.
Changing the url-mapping in web.xml from "/" to "/*" corrected the problem.
Everything is in fact behaving according to the Servlet spec (Java Servlet Specification Version 3.0 Rev a, Section 12.2, page 116):
A string beginning with a / character and ending with a /* suffix is used for path mapping.
...
A string containing only the / character indicates the "default" servlet of the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus the context path and the path info is null.

I am a newbie to Spring framework especially Spring MVC.
I am writing a code which takes in a Name in a form and displays it on the page. So index.jsp is the form class in which on hitting the sayHello button the request should get forwarded to another page hello.jsp and prints the message. But on clicking the button it is giving 404 error. According to me all the names and configurations are fine but it just doesn't go and prints the message.
index.jsp
<h2>Form</h2>
<form action="./hello.html">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"/><br>
<input type="submit" value="sayHello"/>

The issue got resolved.
I think the issue was with my system or eclipse itself.
Ran the code on other machine and it worked just fine.
Thanks for replying #alex.b
Check with your directory
make sure that you have build path for required jar files
if it is correct it should work
I've seen this question a lot but however I am still unable to fix my problem. Hope you will be able to guide me.'

It worked without me changing anything after some time. I do not understand why this is unreliable :(
Is there some best practice ?

I am trying to learn spring mvc and facing a problem (which seems to be a common one). I have searched a lot of solutions but nothing is helping me out...

}
Edit1:
The problem is occurring because of tomcat server as my simple html page is also not running and it is throwing the same exception. I am using tomcat server version 7. Can anyone hint me out the cause of this exception?
Tomcat doesn't know about hello.jsp since it is inside WEB-INF.
Change
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>hello.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
to
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
It will work.
This could be a the case of Hello.jsp. The first letter of Hello.jsp is capitalized yet in your controller you are returning a lower case hello. If you change your controller to return the string "Hello" it should work.
Thank you everyone for your answers. Actually I was able to solve my issue by just changing the location of html and jsp pages from web inf folder to web content folder. I dont know why it worked but pages are being run by the server now.
I have a question. A have a trivial application. I want to use Spring MVC and in the JSP page use some facelets (if say I it well). But I'm unable to do it. I'm using Geronimo. In the Geronimo there is the MyFaces JSF implementation. I don't now, how shall I write proper faces-config.xml, or what is missing. When I'm opening the page in browser, the Geronimo throws IllegalStateEcxeption: No Factories configured for this Application. This happens if the faces-initialization does not work at all.
I have created a controler in the application:
#Controller
public class BasicController {
#RequestMapping("/")
public ModelAndView index() {
ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView();
mv.setViewName("main");
return mv;
}
#ModelAttribute("appVersion")
public String getVersion() {
return Version.VERSION + " (" + Version.BUILD_TIME + ")";
}
}
I have declared dispatcher servlet and faces servlet in web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>sd</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>sd</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>faces-servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>faces-servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
I have configured dispatcher servlet in WEB-INF/sd-servlet.xml:
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/pages/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
<context:component-scan base-package="eu.barbucha.trackAnniversaries.webLayer"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<mvc:resources location="/files/" mapping="/files/**"/>
My faces-config.xml contains just one daclaration:
<faces-config>
<application>
<el-resolver>
org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver
</el-resolver>
</application>
</faces-config>
And finally I have written a JSP page:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<%# page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<%# taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="files/basic.css" media="all"/>
</head>
<body>
<p>Example <h:outputText value="text"/>.</p>
<hr/>
<i>${appVersion}</i>
</body>
</html>
Yes, they really can. But there are several mistakes in above mentioned configuration.
The file is WEB-INF/pages/main.jsp, but the JSF servlet must be mapped to *.jsf and the suffix in the view resolver must be the same: .jsf. MyFaces changes the suffix automatically.
Then it does not work yet. You get IllegalStateException, that there is not any application context. The proper configuration of Spring consists of two files. First is the application context and the second configuration file for dispatcher servlet. If you just create an empty application context file, the entire Geronimo container may freeze.
You shall write configuration in two files. Both of them you put into WEB-INF directory. First is applicationContext.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="eu.barbucha.trackAnniversaries.webLayer"/>
</beans>
And the second is configuration for servlet called sd, also sd-servlet.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">
<!-- The name I've choosen SD = Spring Dispatcher (Servlet) -->
<context:component-scan base-package="eu.barbucha.trackAnniversaries.webLayer"/>
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/pages/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsf" />
</bean>
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<mvc:resources location="/files/" mapping="/files/**"/>
</beans>
Used solution (with JSP) is JSF 1.2 compatible. If you want to use facelet instead JSP, you need to use JSF 2.0 compatible implementation, e.g. MyFaces 2.0.
