@RequestMapping is not resolved with springsource dm-server-ee-1.0.1 [SPR-5366]

[spring-projects-issues]

Thomas Koeppen opened SPR-5366 and commented

we have the following configuration, that works fine with dm-server 1.0.1 (spring 2.5.6), but fails with dm-server-ee-1.0.1 (imported lib org.springframework.spring.instrumented)

application-web.xml

<context:component-scan base-package="com.foo.api" />
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping"/>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter"/>
<bean name="viewResolver"
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver">
</bean>

class com.foo.api.FooController

@Controller("fooController")
public class FooController extends MultiActionController implements HandlerExceptionResolver {

@RequestMapping("/name")
	public ModelAndView listTags(@RequestParam(required=false, value="aVar") String aVar) {
....

/name was not resolved

[2008-12-16 18:54:50.351] TP-Processor2 org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound.unknown W No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/name] in DispatcherServlet with name 'foo-DispatcherServlet'

currently i am uncertain, if it is false configuration on our side, a dm-server bug or springframework issue, so creating this issue here first

Affects: 2.5.6

i found a similiar workaround as in #8808,

i added urlMapping as workaround to application-web.xml to map /name manually, but want to used to simple DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
    <property name="mappings">
        <value>
            /name=fooController
        </value>
    </property>
    <property name="alwaysUseFullPath">
        <value>true</value>
    </property>
</bean>

bug occurs, if i use (but this is what i need)

@Controller
public class FooMultiActionController implements HandlerExceptionResolver

with out HandlerExceptionResolver it works:

@Controller
public class FooMultiActionController

any ideas?

I cannot reproduce this against Spring 3.0 M3, at least not for the "implements HandlerExceptionResolver" case. This works just fine. It does not work, however, when extending MultiActionController! This is indicating the wrong kind of contract... An @RequestMapping-based controller should never extend that base class. Have you actually tried the case where you implement HandlerExceptionResolver but do not extend MultiActionController? If you can reproduce this against Spring 3.0 M3 (e.g. on plain Tomcat), let me know.
