No mapping found with #RestController an #RequestMapping - spring-mvc

Question

I have the following Controller
#RestController("/person")
public class PersonController {
#Autowired
PersonService personService;
#RequestMapping(value = "/list",
method = RequestMethod.GET,
produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE
)
public List<PersonNode> getPersons(){
return personService.getList();
}
}
Now the spring neo4j config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

and spring mvc rest config:

and web.xml

However when I refer to http://localhost:8080/rest/person/list i keep getting the:

However, when I refer to http://localhost:8080/rest/list I get the expected list of persons.
I want to refer to the http://localhost:8080/rest/person/list while using the #RestController for the person at class level and the `list' at the method level. How this can be done?

Answer 1

you should add #RequestMapping to your Controller Class
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/person")
public class PersonController {
#Autowired
PersonService personService;
#RequestMapping(value = "/list", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public List<PersonNode> getPersons(){
return personService.getList();
}
}
