Sorry but I mistaken with the post....it must be in Getting Started forum

Good morning,

I have installed the project with the instructions of "Getting Started", I switched the database to a postgreSQL and changed some things for the look and feel.

The problem is that I am trying to make a new jsp page (I am really rookie in Spring) and it does not work. That is I did:

-Create a new Controller class in the package of CheckoutController.java at the project "site"
-Add to the applicationContext-servlet.xml this lines in "site-war" project (aboutUsController is my @Controller ):

Code: Select all

<context:component-scan base-package="org.broadleafcommerce">
         <context:include-filter type="regex" expression=".*web.*"/>
         <context:exclude-filter type="regex" expression=".*"/>
     </context:component-scan>

       <bean id="aboutUsController" class="com.webtiser.web.controller.AboutUsController">   
   </bean>
<property name="mappings">
         <props>
            <prop key="/store">catalogController</prop>
            <prop key="/basket/**">blCartController</prop>
            <prop key="/registerCustomer/*">blRegisterCustomerController</prop>
            <prop key="/checkout/*">mycompanyCheckoutController</prop>      
            <prop key="/aboutUs/*">aboutUsController</prop>      
         </props>
      </property>

-This is the code of AboutUsController (to test I used the current cart page):

Code: Select all

@Controller("aboutUsController")
@RequestMapping("/aboutUs")
public class AboutUsController {   

   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String checkout(@ModelAttribute CheckoutForm checkoutForm,
            BindingResult errors,
            ModelMap model,
            HttpServletRequest request) {
        
       return "redirect:/basket/currentCart.htm";
    }   

   @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String aboutUs(@ModelAttribute CheckoutForm checkoutForm,
            BindingResult errors,
            ModelMap model,
            HttpServletRequest request) {
       
      return "redirect:/basket/currentCart.htm";
    }

In my jsp I write this:

Code: Select all

<a href="<c:url value="/aboutUs" />">

The first problem I had is that the ant task said to me that "it cant find the class file". I looked for it in the war file that I generated with ant and I didnt see it, I looked for it in the project "site-war" and I didnt see it.....I dont know why the java files arent in "site war" project, I found it in my "site" project
I copied it to resolve the problem (I hope you can say me what is my problem with that) and it works....but when I "clicked" in the link <a href="<c:url value="/aboutUs" />"> the message was :

HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /mycompany/aboutUs. Reason:
NOT_FOUND

I hope you can help me , sorry for the huge post.... I think it would be better that you have all the information.

Best Regards

David

Hello we solve the problem.

First, about the problem with .class files we solve it this way:
We copy the .class files from /site/target/classes/com to /site-war/target/mycompany/WEB-INF/classes/com

About the @controller we solve this way:

@Controller("tabController")
public class TabController {

Code: Select all

 

@Controller("tabController")
public class TabController {
 @RequestMapping(value = "/aboutUs", method = {RequestMethod.GET})
    public String aboutUs(@ModelAttribute Object o,
            BindingResult errors,
            ModelMap model,
            HttpServletRequest request) {

        return "cms/aboutUs";
    }

}

and the applicationContext-servlet.xml

Code: Select all

<bean id="urlMapping"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
      <property name="order" value="1" />
      <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" />
      <!-- property name="interceptors">
         <list>
            <ref bean="catalogDisplayInterceptor" />
         </list>
      </property -->
       <property name="interceptors">
           <list>
               <ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor"/>
           </list>
       </property>
      <property name="mappings">
         <props>            
            <prop key="/aboutUs">tabController</prop>            
         </props>
      </property>
   </bean>

Bye

David,

Glad you were able to get this working.

A couple of notes. The new Java class that you added in your "site" project would not be accessible in your site-war unless you did a "maven-build" of the project if you are using the default project structure.

Also, with Spring-MVC, you can use declarative mapping in XML like you've done in your working example. Alternatively, you can rely on the annotations (e.g. the @Controller and @RequestMapping) tags. To have Spring-MVC pick up these annotations, you would need to add you package to the "component-scan" entry.
