Welcome file not working with html file in spring

I have given my welcome file in web.xml But when running the application, it is showing 404 error on http://172.16.2.16:8080/sampletest/

It is a spring application.

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
    id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1">
    <display-name>sampletest</display-name>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

    <!-- Spring MVC -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

I am using eclipse luna, java 8, tomcat 8 and maven framework. index.html file is directly under webapp folder and web.xml is under webapp/WEB-INF folder. If I use index.jsp instead of index.html, it is working. Then welcome page will load using http://172.16.2.16:8080/sampletest/

The issue is only with welcome file. Otherwise spring configuration is working. http://localhost:8080/sampletest/test/ will load the data from database.

Error log in console

Controller

package com.sample.test.controller;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;

import com.sample.test.dto.Response;
import com.sample.test.facade.AccelFlowFacade;

@Controller
public class SampleTestController {

    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("sampleTestFacade")
    SampleTestFacade sampleTestFacade;

    public SampleTestFacade getSampleTestFacade() {
        return sampleTestFacade;
    }

    public void setSampleTestFacade(SampleTestFacade sampleTestFacade) {
        this.sampleTestFacade= sampleTestFacade;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public @ResponseBody Response display() throws Exception {
        sampleTestFacade.disaply();
        Response res = new Response();
        return res;
    }
}

Try adding <mvc:default-servlet-handler/> in your dispatcher-servlet.xml.

See here for details.

You have mapped all your incoming requests to the dispatcher here,

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

So all your URL requests for the application goes inside the dispatcher as '/' maps all incoming requests . check for the stacktraces in your application server log

update:

You get the below warning because there are no handler for the '/' pattern,

WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/AccelFlow/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcher'

You can do either of below options ,

Map a url with '/' to the controller
Add a specific URL pattern to the spring dispatcher such as .htm or .do as you wish

Modify your web.xml,

<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

And in your controller,

@RequestMapping(value = "/test.htm", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public @ResponseBody Response display() throws Exception {
    accelFlowFacade.disaply();
    Response res = new Response();
    return res;
}

At the startup by default all incoming requests are mapping to '/' pattern as you write in the web.xml:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

update:

Try to map a Controller method for the default view:

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = GET)
public String welcome() {
    return "index";
}

Add viewresolver to dispather-servlet.xml:

<bean id="viewResolver"
      class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
      p:prefix="/"
      p:suffix=".jsp" />

Remove welcome file from the web.xml as automatically spring will search for index page by default:
```
<welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
```

Welcome file can be access using following changes.

change 1. add resource path in dispatcher as following :

      <mvc:resources mapping="/" location="/index.html" />

change 2. add controller handler like following :

     @Controller
      public class RestController {

     @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
      public String welcome() {
            return "index.html";
      }

     }

changes 3: index.html file should be in WebContent folder in project.

Note : If you are not able to add mvc bean in dispatcher servlet file then add

  xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc

in dispatcher servlet config file.

using <mvc:resources mapping="/" location="/index.html" /> is goods for static pages , however changing it to

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET) public String welcome() { return "index.html"; }

is not good design as all model in other controllers may point back to index page, instead use

<mvc:resources mapping="/" location="/redfresh.html"  />

and make refresh page such

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8"/>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/index'" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

and point in controller to index such:

@Controller
public class indexPageController {

 @RequestMapping(value = "/index", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "text/html")
    public String index() {       
        return "index";
    }
}
