spring mvc RESTfull url - spring

Question

I´m new in spring-mvc. So, i´m trying to use RESTFull urls ( i think that's the correct name)
For example, i want use a url like this: http://localhost:8080/sommer/Users/edit/1
it means i want to edit the user with id 1
But with my configuration it´s not getting to the any controller. I'm just able to use urls ending with .html.
This is my configuration and code
web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

#Controller
#RequestMapping("Users")
public class SystemUserController {
}
#RequestMapping("/index")
public ModelAndView index(){
List<SystemUser> list = userRepository.findAll();
return new ModelAndView("users/index","users",list);
}
#RequestMapping("/edit/{userId}")
public ModelAndView edit(#PathVariable long userId){
List<SystemUser> list = userRepository.findAll();
return new ModelAndView("users/index","users",list);
}
}
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are registering the DispatcherServlet to HTML files only when you have:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
If you want no extension whatsoever, you'll have to use something along these lines:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(Of course, keep in mind, this will literally match everything)
