Spring MVC multi module jsp and controller not mapping properly

Question

This is a simple Spring MVC multi module project, here I want to give request from index.jsp via action “showlogin.do” and then load login.jsp via LoginController.java.

I am trying to build WAR file and then want to run on Tomcat Server. On running in tomcat server it is showing index.jsp but when I click on link (showlogin.do) it gives me error like HTTP Status 404 – Not Found.

URLs –

Run WAR in Tomcat - http://localhost:8080/Biotech-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/

Blockquote

After clicking on link it redirects to - http://localhost:8080/Biotech-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/showlogin.do

Folder Structure –

Biotech-test [Parent]

Biotech-data [Repository]

Biotech-service [Service], pom.xml has dependency of repository

Biotech-web, pom.xml has dependency of service

Your request mapping has just /showlogin, it should be /showlogin.do
