Missing URI template variable 'id' for method parameter of type String - Spring MVC

Question

I have built a Spring MVC controller using the following code:

@RequestMapping(name = "/edit-soldier/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView editSoldierForm(@PathVariable String id) throws FileNotFoundException {

        System.out.println("id:" + id);

        (snip ...)
    }

When I call the controller using the following URL : http://myurl/edit-soldier/Q65683623,

I get the following error:

There was an unexpected error (type=Internal Server Error, status=500).
Missing URI template variable 'id' for method parameter of type String
org.springframework.web.bind.MissingPathVariableException: Missing URI template variable 'id' for method parameter of type String

I have tried to replace name by value or path but it doesn't work either (I am getting a 404 error this time).

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Change this

@RequestMapping(name = "/edit-soldier/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)

to

@RequestMapping(value = "/edit-soldier/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)

Note: Change name to value

or

@GetMapping("/edit-soldier/{id}")
