Newbie:: SimpleUrlHandlerMapping :: DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound

[jvictor]

Hi
I'm new to Spring and am trying to write my first web-app using spring. Im jus trying to logon. I'm getting the following messages , when I attempt to do so

In the browser
-----------------
The requested resource () is not available.

In catalina.out
---------------
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound
WARNING: No mapping for [/esims/pages/esims/index.html] in DispatcherServlet with name 'esims'



In the login.jsp file I'm using

<form action="esims/index.html" method="post">
..........
</form>

In esims-servlet.xml SimpleUrlHandlerMapping is defined as

<!-- URL mappings for the application -->
<bean id="simpleUrlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlH andlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/index.html">loginControllerBean</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>


My web.xml file looks like this

<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/esims-servlet.xml, /WEB-INF/esims-service.xml, /WEB-INF/esims-dao.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListe ner</listener-class>
</listener>

<servlet>
<servlet-name>esims</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>esims</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

when I submit the login form I just get a description

The requested resource () is not available. in the browser

and

6 Jun, 2006 5:22:53 PM org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound
WARNING: No mapping for [/esims/pages/esims/index.html] in DispatcherServlet with name 'esims'

in catalina.out

I guess its pretty silly, but I'm not able to fig it out.
An experienced pair of eyes can help me out :)

Thnx


==============EDIT============

<form action="esims/index.html" method="post">

needs to be changed to

<form action="/esims/index.html" method="post">

[Steve O]

Try and change:
<form action="/esims/index.html" method="post"> to:
<form action="index.html" method="post"> I think the "/esims/" portion is trying to go to a different (non existent) level and throwing the error. If that does not help, maybe post your loginControllerBean.

Good luck,
