I am trying to build Spring MVC web app.
The problem is in my welcome-page (localhost:8080/). In my output log I am seeing:
No mapping for GET /

I set my welcome page to URL: "/spring-mvc-login" but everytime I restart app it is trying to look for URL "/" which is not serve in my controller. I want to redirect welcome page to URL "/spring-mvc-login" but it doesnt work.

Funny thing is that when I type "localhost:8080/spring-mvc-login" it is working fine. The only problem is to redirect this URL to welcome-page.

WEB.XML

 <servlet>

        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>

        <servlet-class>

            org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet

        </servlet-class>

        <init-param>

            <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>

            <param-value>/WEB-INF/todo-servlet.xml</param-value>

        </init-param>

        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

    </servlet>



    <servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>

        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

    </servlet-mapping>



    <welcome-file-list>

        <welcome-file>/spring-mvc-login</welcome-file>

    </welcome-file-list>

todo-servlet.xml

<bean

        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">

    <property name="prefix">

        <value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>

    </property>

    <property name="suffix">

        <value>.jsp</value>

    </property>

</bean>

And Controller

public class LoginController {



    @RequestMapping(value = "/spring-mvc-login", method= RequestMethod.GET)

    public String sayHello(){

        return "login";

    }



    @RequestMapping(value = "/spring-mvc-login", method = RequestMethod.POST)

        public String handleLoginRequest(@RequestParam String name, @RequestParam String password,

                                         ModelMap modelMap){

        modelMap.put("name",name);

        modelMap.put("password", password);

        return "welcome";



        }



}

In Controller when i change @RequestMapping from "/spring-mvc-login "to "/" it is working fine of course but I want to redirect my welcome page to "/spring-mvc-login" not to "/". Thanks for help.

Don't forget to use @RestController annotation.
If you want to redirect use:

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)

public void redirect(HttpServletResponse httpResponse) throws Exception {



     httpResponse.sendRedirect("/spring-mvc-login");

}

Try to remove "/"

before

<welcome-file>/spring-mvc-login</welcome-file>

after

<welcome-file>spring-mvc-login</welcome-file>

Try to change web.xml content:

<servlet-mapping>

    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>

    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

Or change controller mapping to:

@RequestMapping(value={"/", "/spring-mvc-login"})
