spring - Url getting modified after request is received at the server -

i trying develop restful web service using spring framework apache tomcat. added 2 controller classes had 5-6 endpoints working fine. since yesterday when trying add endpoint getting strange error.

@controller @requestmapping("/test") public class textcontroller {      @requestmapping(method=requestmethod.post)     public void test() {         system.out.println("hello world");     } } 

when try url browser(using rest client) getting following output:

hello world  jun 25, 2014 7:05:55 pm org.springframework.web.servlet.pagenotfound nohandlerfound warning: no mapping found http request uri [/chitchatapp/rest/test/test] in         dispatcherservlet name 'chitchat-dispatcher' 

the url showing "/test" appended. other apis still working fine. new ones adding giving error.

my web.xml looks this:

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance"    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemalocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="webapp_id" version="2.5"> <display-name>chitchat web service</display-name>  <servlet>     <servlet-name>chitchat-dispatcher</servlet-name>     <servlet-class> org.springframework.web.servlet.dispatcherservlet</servlet-class>     <!-- creates spring container shared servlets , filters -->     <init-param>         <param-name>contextconfiglocation</param-name>         <param-value>/web-inf/chitchat-servlet.xml</param-value>     </init-param>     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>chitchat-dispatcher</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </web-app> 

not sure why started happening of sudden. appreciate on this.

from @requestmapping("/test") seems url should "somprefix/test" send request url "/chitchatapp/rest/test/test", mistake?
