java - How to make my URL to only be "localhost:8080/*"? -

i'm starting out giving spring mvc have no idea i'm doing. therefore, started following series of tutorials on youtube. i've followed them step step differing in i'm using sts instead of og eclipse set project tut can't see why matter.

towards end make index.jsp page, restart server, , navigate localhost:8080/index.html , "problem" begins. have use localhost:8080/test/index.html in order avoid 404 error.

i think answer obvious i'm not clear why mine's different tut's though followed it, names aside, exactly.

how make url localhost:8080/*? don't want /test/ included.

beginning of pom.xml:

  <modelversion>4.0.0</modelversion>   <groupid>my.name.spring.test</groupid>   <artifactid>blog-aggregator</artifactid>   <version>0.0.1-snapshot</version>   <packaging>war</packaging>

indexcontroller.java:

@controller public class indexcontroller {      @requestmapping("/index")     public string index() {         return "/web-inf/jsp/index.jsp";     } } 

dispatch-servlet.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"     xsi:schemalocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-4.1.xsd">      <context:component-scan base-package="wilk.robert.spring.test.controller" /> </beans> 

i'm guessing has base package seems limit me on package can be; doesn't sound right (remember i'm ignorant!).

if there's important code missing promptly add it.

rename war root.war , deploy it

if webapp called root.war or directory called root/ jetty deploys @ / context.

jetty link

add next line pom.xml rename war file:

<build>   <finalname>root</finalname> </build> 

if using jetty plugin modify plugin configuration following code:

 <plugin>                 <groupid>org.mortbay.jetty</groupid>                 <artifactid>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactid>                 <version>6.1.22</version>                 <configuration>                     <contextpath>/</contextpath>                                      </configuration>                 ...             </plugin>
