I am having rest method in spring controller like below:

@RequestMapping(value="/register/{userName}" ,method=RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
public String getUserName(HttpServletRequest request,@PathVariable String userName ){
    System.out.println("User Name : "+userName);
    return "available";

}

In jquery I have writeen ajax call like:

$(document).ready(function(){

        $('#userName').blur(function(){
            var methodURL = "http://localhost:8085/ums/register/"+$('#userName').val();

            $.ajax({
                type : "get",
                URL : methodURL,
                data : $('#userName').val(),
                success : function(data){
                    alert(data);
                    $('#available').show();
                    }
                })
            });
});

In web.xml I have:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

In spring-servlet.xml I have the view resolver like below:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.users.controller" />
    <context:annotation-config />
        <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="order" value="1"/>
<property name="mediaTypes">
<map>
<entry key="json" value="application/json" />
<entry key="xml" value="text/xml" />
<entry key="htm" value="text/html" />
</map>
</property>
<property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="true" />
<!-- <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />-->
<property name="defaultContentType" value="text/html" />
</bean>
<bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="order" value="2" />
        <property name="prefix">
            <value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value>
        </property>
        <property name="suffix">
            <value>.jsp</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

When I am running this in server, it is not going to controller. Please let me know the problem with this code.

Please can any one help on this.

  • Did you try browsing to your rest service through a regular browser? Just for making sure if the problem is on the server or client side. Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 14:06
  • you also had an error in your RequestMapping definition, see my answer below. Commented Apr 15, 2013 at 14:28

Since you have the @RequestMapping(value="register/{userName}" on your method definition, your jquery call must follow the same syntax.

var methodURL = "http://localhost:8085/users/register/"+$('#userName').val()+".html";

But you have also a problem in your RequestMapping value, it should start with /

@RequestMapping(value="/register/{userName}"

Also I doubt that you need the ".html" at the end

I have done as you said. I put ' localhost:8085/users/register/…' but it is not working. Please let me know if you need any more information @Serkan Arıkuşu
Hi @Serkan, as you said, I have edited the question with the changes.Please have a look and let me know where I am doing wrong. I am pretty new to this Spring MVC.

Add this line to your spring-servlet.xml. It will enable the Web MVC specific annotations like @Controller and @RequestMapping

<mvc:annotation-driven />

Example of an annotated controller

Assuming the url with context is http://localhost:8080/webapp and you want an api call like url /users/register/johnDoe. (johnDoe being the username)

You controller class would look something like the following.

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/users")
class UserController {

@ResponseBody
@RequestMapping(value="/register/{username}", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String registerUser(@PathVariable String username) {
        return username;
    }
}

Thanks @Bart for your reply. I have added <mvc:annotation-driven/>. When I am placing localhost:8085/users/register/abc in the browser then in debugger mode it is going to my method but it is not returning anything. From web application when I am doing ajax call it is not going to the controller only.
Did you annotate the controller class with @Controller?
By the way the URL in your question says /ums not /users and your request mapping only answers to /register. I'll put up an example.
