I'm currently learning Spring MVC and making a simple Hello World web application with it. However, I have no idea why its not working (The WebApplicationInitializer doesn't get invoked).
Here's the pom.xml:

Here's the WebApplicationInitializer implementation:
package java;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration;
import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;
public class WebInit implements WebApplicationInitializer {
@Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
context.register(WebConfig.class);
context.setServletContext(servletContext);
System.out.println("hi");
// Create and register the DispatcherServlet
DispatcherServlet servlet = new DispatcherServlet(context);
ServletRegistration.Dynamic registration = servletContext.addServlet("app", servlet);
registration.setLoadOnStartup(1);
registration.addMapping("/");
}
}
Here's the WebConfig:
package java;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan("java")
public class WebConfig {
@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return viewResolver;
}
}
And finally here's the Controller implementation:
package java;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class TestController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String testMethod (Model model) {
model.addAttribute("greeting", "Hello World 2");
return "welcome";
}
}
I have used clean install and run the .war on the Tomcat server
I tried entering 'http://localhost:8080/springmvctest/test' but it gave me a 404 error on the web, and no error in the output.
There are also no mentions of Spring in the output whatsoever, so I assume that Tomcat doesn't detect Spring ?
I'm using Tomcat 10.0.27 and VSCode as the text editor.
CodePudding user response:
Spring 2 / Spring 5 will not work on Tomcat 10, because Tomcat 10 is working with jakarta packages that are not present in Spring 2 / Spring 5, they are using javax packages. Either downgrade to Tomcat 9 or upgrade to Spring 3 / Spring 6 if you want to use Tomcat 10.
CodePudding user response:
Using the Spring Boot framework will be written as follows
Spring Boot 3
