No mapping found when using BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping in Spring MVC

Question

I am trying to use BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping in Spring 4.0.3. I run web application and everything was OK. There were no errors in the console log.

But I got this WARNING message :

Apr 22, 2014 9:47:48 AM org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound noHandlerFound WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/springmvc_beanurlhandler/beanurhandlermapping.html] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcher'

When I clicked the link, I got 404 error page.

This is my code:

Controller

public class BeanNameUrlHandlerMappingController extends AbstractController {

    @Override
    protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String message = "BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping invoked!";
        System.out.println(message);

        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("success");
        modelAndView.addObject("message", message);

        return modelAndView;
    }

}

</web-app>

Above is my project structure.

Please help, thank you.

In dispatcher-servlet.xml, you have mapping to controller as:

    <bean name="/beanurlhandlermapping.html" class="com.fanjavaid.controller.BeanNameUrlHandlerMappingController" />

Make change in index.jsp as:

    <a href="beanurlhandlermapping.html">Click to test BeanURLHandlerMapping</a>
