Path Variable Causing 404

Question

I'm adding a Path variableto receive value sent by URL. And this is my controller.

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/user")
public class UserController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/list/{field}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public void userList(Model model, @PathVariable("field") String field) {
        List<Users> userList = userDAO.searchAll();
        System.out.println("Condition "+field);
        model.addAttribute("userList", userList);
    }

}

But I'm getting a 404 error.

And this is my folder structure for jsp.

Please help me to find out what is wrong here.
Thanks.

Edit : And also is there any chance that I can send empty path variable ex: http://localhost:8080/mvcquick/user/list and return to the same method?

Answer 1

system is looking for mvcquick/WEB-INF/jsp/user/list/n.jsp. I dont see this file.

Please try this:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/user")
public class UserController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/list/{field}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String userList(Model model, @PathVariable("field") String field) {
        List<Users> userList = userDAO.searchAll();
        System.out.println("Condition "+field);
        model.addAttribute("userList", userList);
        return "user/list"; // added line. Alos return type to String
    }
