Spring MVC Fast Tutorial: Hello World

How Spring MVC works

Basically the same way as Struts:

  • Based on the HTTP request URL, the DispatcherServlet calls the corresponding Controller.
  • A View is rendered and sent as HTTP response.

Spring Servlet Declaration

In 'WEB-INF/web.xml', we declare Spring DispatcherServlet and map '*.html' URLs to it: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.4"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
         http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" >
 
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>springmvc</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
 
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>springmvc</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
 
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>
      jsp/index.jsp
    </welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
 
</web-app>

Spring Servlet Configuration

Let's now create the Spring configuration file 'WEB-INF/springmvc-servlet.xml' (name based on the servlet name above): 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">
 
  <bean name="/hello_world.html" class="springmvc.web.HelloWorldController"/>
 
  <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
      <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
      <property name="prefix" value="/jsp/"/>
      <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
  </bean>
 
</beans>
  • Map URL /hello_world.html to Controller HelloWorldController
  • Declare View Resolver: when view 'view_name' is called (from the Controller), the file '/jsp/view_name.jsp' will be used.

Controller

Let's create the Controller 'WEB-INF/src/springmvc/web/HelloWorldController.java': 

package springmvc.web;
 
import java.io.IOException;
 
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
 
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller;
 
public class HelloWorldController implements Controller {
 
	public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
			HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
 
		String aMessage = "Hello World MVC!";
 
		ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("hello_world");
		modelAndView.addObject("message", aMessage);
 
		return modelAndView;
	}
}

This Controller calls the view 'hello_world', passing 'message' to it (like a Struts attribute).

View

Now the view: 'jsp/hello_world.jsp': 

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<html>
<body>
	<p>This is my message: ${message}</p>
</body>
</html>

Displays the message attribute previously set in the Controller.

Make it work

From 'WEB-INF' folder type 

ant

Relaunch Tomcat and check it's working: http://localhost:8180/springmvc/hello_world.html

Summary

Your project should now look like that:

You can download it here. With Java 6, delete the class files (ant clean) before compiling (ant).

  • We declared Spring servlet in web.xml
  • We created a Spring configuration file where we mapped an URL to a controller and defined a way to resolve views.
  • We created a controller and a view

Feedback

Hi this is a gud tute. I did the example as given but Iam encountering an javax.servlet.ServletException:
Servlet.init() for servlet springmvc threw exception:
Root Cause: org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException:
Cannot find class [springmvc.web.HelloWorldController] for bean with name '/hello_world.html' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/springmvc-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: springmvc.web.HelloWorldController.
Can anyone help me out with this

Hi, I have done this hello world example as said here. But my output is only showing "This is my message: " It is not displaying the message from Controller. Can someone help me with this issue
Mitra

Hi Mitra, Did you run the "ant" command before you started tomcat? That compiles the classes. The HelloWorldController class should be in <tomcat>/webapps/springmvc/WEB-INF/classes/springmvc/web folder. Suran WSO2, Inc.

Hi All, Generally all will face the same problem due to Ant build file so in build.properties file use this two lines,based on the tomcat folder you installed appserver.home=C:\Tomcat 5.5 appserver.lib=${appserver.home}/common/lib I think after doing this you may not find any problem like ClassNotFoundException

I was getting "This is my message: ${message}" instead of "This is my message: Hello World MVC!" that I expected. The fix was to apply 2 changes to hello_world.jsp: First, use the syntax that Igor mentioned earlier. Second, change the uri in the header of the file from "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" to "http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" as suggested by Svitlana. Note, I used WebLogic 8.1 for this example, not Tomcat so I don't know if that necessitated these changes, but it now works.

"With Java 6, delete the class files (ant clean) before compiling (ant)."

What does that mean ?

Actually the code provided to download is compiled with jdk1.5, so the classes will be behaving accordingly, but if you have jdk1.6 at your end you better clean those class files(delete those class files) and compile those classes with jdk1.6
