Well, if you have seen my previous post of how spring mvc worked for me in eclipse and netbeans, you will be as shocked as I am.
For some really strange reason, the same code that worked fine is not working now. Now, I keep getting 404 errors in both eclipse and netbeans. I have tried everything from re-creating the code to re-installing jdk/jre multiple times and yet it gives me the 404. I even tried re-creating the code to use setter injection with the classic spring controllers, ie, without annotations. Now even that fails to work here.
As a final step, I have now made a post in the springsource forum, hoping that somebody there can figure out whats going on there. The post is at : forum.springsource.org/showthread.php
Recent events have set me thinking whether spring is really a stable development framework. Companies, including the one I worked for used spring without any such problems. Anyways, if things don’t turn out in the next couple of days, I am bidding farewell to spring and move back to my own MVC implementation that I used to create back during my initial days of java training.
Whatever is enabling users to actually use the full extend of spring seems to be a closely guarded secret by these technical architects. I have spent weeks searching the internet and nothing was found. As per all tutorials and a demos, I have written everything thats required. But no matter what, I keep getting the 404. No place in the WWW talks about anything close to this behaviour.
