Spring MVC Will Not Map to My Controller

I am trying to migrate a project from a traditional (working) Java servlet application to Spring MVC in the NetBeans IDE, but my program absolutely refuses to ping the Controller. On the client side, I see the following 404 errors:

index.do?displayType=table:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

I invoke the controller methods like so:

$.get("index.do","displayType=table", function( data ) {
    jstring = JSON.parse(data.substr(12).slice(0, -1));  

});

$.get("index.do","displayType=pivot",function(unparsedJSON) {});

$.post("index.do","jsonString=" + JSON.stringify(hot.getData()));

Below are my controller and xml configuration files:

MappingControl.java

package controllers;

import infoLoader.JsonWriter;
import infoLoader.getJSON;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import static org.springframework.http.HttpMethod.GET;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;



@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class MappingControl {

    @RequestMapping(value="/index.do", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String populatePivotAndSheet(@RequestParam("displayType") String type) {

        String returnedJSON = "";

        try {
             returnedJSON = getJSON.getJSON(type);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            System.out.println("Unable to retrieve JSON");
        }

        return returnedJSON;

    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/index.do", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public void deliverSheet(@RequestParam("jsonString") String writableJSON) {

        String returnedJSON = "";

        JsonWriter.writeJSON(writableJSON);

    }

}

I've been building this based on the default Spring-MVC template provided by NetBeans, so if any of you believe the template is poorly formatted and should be changed in some way, I would appreciate any input you might have.

Thanks so much for your time, guys, and let me know if anything is unclear.

Solution

You need add @ResponseBody to your method,due to in your case,you want to return the json data,if you missing @ResponseBody it will return to the view page,however you do not specify any view page in your code,thus will cause 404 error

@ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value="/index.do", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String populatePivotAndSheet(@RequestParam("displayType") String type) {

    String returnedJSON = "";

    try {
         returnedJSON = getJSON.getJSON(type);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Unable to retrieve JSON");
    }

    return returnedJSON;

}

@ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value="/index.do", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public void deliverSheet(@RequestParam("jsonString") String writableJSON) {

    String returnedJSON = "";

    JsonWriter.writeJSON(writableJSON);

}
