spring mvc HTTP Status 404 -

Question

I am trying to make a spring hello world program in eclipse. Here is the code

index.jsp

<a href="hello.html">click</a>

HelloWorldController.java

package com.javatpoint;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {
    @RequestMapping("/hello")
    public ModelAndView helloWorld() {
        String message = "HELLO SPRING MVC HOW R U";
        return new ModelAndView("hellopage", "message", message);
    }
}

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" 
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
    http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
 <servlet>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

spring-servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.javatpoint" />
    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>
</beans>

hellopage.jsp

Message is: ${message}

When I go to http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/, I gets the index.jsp page correctly open

but when I click on link on the page i.e. the url http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/hello.html, I gets the error

HTTP Status 404 -

When I use url like this http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/hello, I gets this

HTTP Status 404 - /SpringMVCBasic/hello

I have taken the code from here

You should change the link from "hello.html" to "hello" like it is defined in the controller. — Benjamin Schüller

try by changing the URL pattern as <url-pattern>/*.html</url-pattern> — Anoop LL

What is your context-path? Are you using Eclipse or Intellij Idea. Anything you see in console. — We are Borg

You provided mapping for:

@RequestMapping("/hello")

but you have to do it for:

@RequestMapping("/hello.html")

I downloaded the eclipse project and run it on a jboss. Following jars needed to be included:

spring-context
spring-core
spring-web
spring-webmvc
spring-aop
spring-beans
spring-expression

If i afterwards run the jboss with Java 8 all seems to work fine.

In your index.jsp instead of writing

href="hello.html">
change to
href="./hello.html">

and

In HelloworldController.java instead of writing

@RequestMapping("/hello")

change to:-

 @RequestMapping(value="/hello.html")
