And finally my controller, the methods work but when i use the getUsers method i get an http 500 error this is strange because the list is populated:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

import be.pxl.publictms.model.Computer;
import be.pxl.publictms.pojo.Gebruiker;
import be.pxl.publictms.service.GebruikerService;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;


@Controller
@RequestMapping("test")
public class TestController {

    @Autowired
    private GebruikerService gebruikerService;

    @RequestMapping(value = "pc",method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public @ResponseBody Computer testMethod() {
        return new Computer(0, "DELL");
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "users",method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public @ResponseBody List<Gebruiker> getUsers(){
        List<Gebruiker> users = gebruikerService.getGebruikers();
        System.out.println("***********************************************");
        for(Gebruiker user: users){
            System.out.println(user.toString());
        }
        System.out.println("***********************************************");
        /*List<Gebruiker> users = new ArrayList<Gebruiker>();
        users.add(new Gebruiker(1, "laurens", "test"));
        users.add(new Gebruiker(2, "laurens", "test"));
        users.add(new Gebruiker(3, "laurens", "test"));*/
        return users;
    }
}
Was it helpful?

Solution

The most common problem is different versions of Spring libraries. E.g. in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-tx</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

and others are with:

<version>${org.springframework-version}</version>
