Hi,

I'm gonna download this source code. It's always nice to have a showcase to illustrate how to implement typical things. Thank you for providing us this. I'm sure it will be helpful.

David

I should add that once deployed when I hit http://localhost:8080/mvc-showcase/ the page renders without all the JQuery goodness, and logs the following in Tomcat:

WARN : org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound – No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/mvc-showcase/resources/jqueryui/1.8/jquery.ui.widget.js] in DispatcherServlet with name 'appServlet'

Surely related.

Dan

Quick question, what tool did you use to record the showcase?

This showcase is really recommended.

It features many facettes of Spring MVC which have been very difficult to find seperately. All the important pieces very well sorted and seperated in directories.

Thank you Keith and keep on the good work!

good job

Thanks Keith. It is really awesome. Pretty clear showcase. I believe you continue the same kind of showcases for your future projects also.Good luck

Thanks a lot, clean work.. awesome. Spring rocks!

I'm getting a 404 for anything under the resources path. I did not comment out the resources tag. I tried both on command line using maven and in STS. For command line, here's the script to repeat:

svn co https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/mvc-showcase
mvn tomcat:run
wget http://localhost:8080/mvc-showcase/resources/form.css

–2010-07-28 13:08:23– http://localhost:8080/mvc-showcase/resources/form.css

Connecting to localhost (localhost)|::1|:8080… connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response… 404 Not Found
2010-07-28 13:08:23 ERROR 404: Not Found.

I get this in the logs, which makes it seem it did complete successfully.

If I just go to http://localhost:8080/, I do get the main screen but without any of the styles or javascript.

Am I missing something?

thanks,

Ryan

@Jeremy – An svn update fixed the issue. Thanks!

must i install quicktime to watch this screencast?

why not put it in a more common video format, such as avi or flash?

given apple's anti-developer behavior of late, i won't put any of their software on my computer.

re: JK

Not sure I understand the question. The "drap & drop" is just a short alternative to "right-click project > run on > server" where tc server is registered with STS as a server runtime. Perhaps adding the "Dynamic Web Project" facet to your project is what you're looking for.

Hi Keith,

Thanks a lot for these examples, they help understand everything a little bit more. I was wondering whether to find samples of portlet developments, specially how to test them within SpringSource.

I have found a good guide here:
http://www.manning.com/sarin/Sarin_MEAP_Ch1.pdf

And also a Hello World portlet:
http://books.dzone.com/articles/hello-world-portlet-using-Spring-3-portlet-MVC

But an "official", more extended explanation from an official would be greatly useful and appreciated.

BTW I loved the screencast soundtrack.

Cheers!

Solution to my previous question in ResponseController.java

@RequestMapping(value="/response/entity/headers", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<String> responseEntityCustomHeaders() {
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN);
return new ResponseEntity<String>("The String ResponseBody with custom header Content-Type=text/plain",
headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}

Nice showcase.

Has anyone found a workaround for the hard coded default character encoding in StringHttpMessageConverter?

If I am reading the code correctly, any @ResponseBody returned as a string will be encoded as ISO-8859-1 — which makes it unusable in many real world applications.

A great enhancement to the showcase would be a @ResponseBody annotated method returning a string containing Japanese (or other high number unicode) characters.

I am having issues starting the server, I keep getting the timeout after 120 seconds. I tried dragging and dropping the mvc-basic project and it started immediately. Is there something I'm doing wrong? The error I get is below.
