Tomcat error "The requested resource ... is not available" with spring's GetMapping()

I am making spring app using Tomcat 10.1, Maven and Eclipse IDE. I run my app and see index.jsp, but if i enter path "/refer" (from GetMapping("/refer")), i want to get hello_world.html but get error message: "The requested resource [/lab57/refer] is not available", and description: "The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists".

I reinstalled Tomcat, problem isn't resolved so i don't really understand what's the problem? My code and structure of project:

enter image description here

HelloController.java

package ru.autoportal.lab;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class HelloController {
  
  @GetMapping("/refer")
  public String sayHello() {
    return "hello_world";
  }
}

DispatcherServleteInitializer.java

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
        return new Class[]{SpringConfig.class};
    }

    @Override

Solution

  • Spring 5 does not work on Tomcat 10, but Spring 6 does due to name changes that occurred with Tomcat 10 and Spring 6 where they renamed javax packages to jakarta.

    If you want to run your application using Spring 5 you need to downgrade your Tomcat to version 9.

    If you want to run your application using Spring 6, you need Tomcat 10 and at least JDK17.

    There is no middle ground between these two due to breaking changes that occurred with package renaming.

    Also, I've noticed that you are using JDK7 in your pom.xml ( 1.7 ), id also advise you to use at least JDK8 since that was a common JDK that was used for Spring 5 projects next to the JDK11, the only difference between those two is that if you are using JDK11 you will need to add some additional jars when using Spring and Hibernate, but if you are using JDK8 ( 1.8 ) you will not have to.

    Here is the list of dependencies that will be required for Hibernate to run with JDK11 if you decide to use it instead of JDK8.

    1. javax.activation-1.2.0.jar
    2. jaxb-api-2.3.0.jar
    3. jaxb-core-2.3.0.jar
    4. jaxb-impl-2.3.0.jar
