I'm trying to do one of those standard spring mvc hello world applications but with the twist that I'd like to map the controller to the root. (for example: http://numberformat.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/hello-world-spring-mvc-with-annotations/ ) So the only real difference is that they map it to host\appname\something and I'd like to map it to host\appname.
I placed my index.jsp in src\main\webapp\jsp and mapped it in the web.xml as the welcome file. I tried:
@Controller("loginController")
public class LoginController{
@RequestMapping("/")
public String homepage2(ModelMap model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){
System.out.println("blablabla2");
model.addAttribute("sigh", "lesigh");
return "index";
}
As my controller but I see nothing appear in the console of my tomcat. Does anyone know where I'm messing up?
My web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<!-- Index -->
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>/jsp/index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springweb</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml:

<property name="prefix" value="/jsp/" />
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
</beans>
I'm using Spring 3.0.5.release
Or is this not possible and do I need to put my index.jsp back in the root of the web-inf and put a redirect to somewhere inside my jsp so the controller picks it up?
