spring MVC servlet mapping

Question

I am trying a sample spring MVC application. My web.xml has

<servlet> <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/test</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>

so my question is how I can call my test controller if I just type in the url

 http://localhost:8080/MySpringProject/test

Where do i need to make change to call exactly this type of URL so that my test controller called. I don't know what I am asking is correct or not but my requirement is that I don't want to end my UrL with "/" or "test.htm".

Please help and thanks in advance

You usually map your dispatcher servlet to /, and then you have controllers with @RequestMapping("/foo/bar"). But if you define a servlet with a more specific url, it will get picked up.

Hi Bozho, so if I have mapping like @RequestMapping("/test") in my controller then with this localhost:8080/MySpringProject/test URL this should work?

According to this answer stackoverflow.com/questions/3878957/…, this will prevent one from hiding your view jsps in the WEB-INF/ folder. In your app, do you configure the InternalResourceViewResolver to point to a prefix in the "WEB-INF" folder.
