Bean is initialized with @Controller but @RequestMapping doesn't get called

Below is my setup for the new Spring 3 annotation based controller:

// dispatcher-servlet.xml

// Spring controller

package org.opevel.web;

@Controller
public class LoginGoogleController {

private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(LoginGoogleController.class.getName());

public LoginGoogleController() {
    log.info("constructing LoginGoogleController");
}

@RequestMapping(value="/auth", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

         return "redirect:index";

      }

    }

When I navigate to /auth, I get a 404. When I try to register the bean in the applicationContext like this:

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
            <prop key="/auth">GoogleLoginService</prop>
            </props>
        </property>

<bean id="GoogleLoginService" class="org.opevel.web.LoginGoogleController" />

I get a BeanException stating that the bean is already registered at /logingoogle through ControllerClassNamehandlerMapping. I am using Spring 3.0.2 on Google App Engine.

Will appreciate some help.

I was able to fix this my removing both the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping and SimpleUrlHandlerMapping beans from the application context file.

Regards y'all

That error is telling you that you don't need <bean id="GoogleLoginService" class="org.opevel.web.LoginGoogleController" /> in your applicationContext. Also you don't need <bean id="urlMapping">

@Controller creates a bean for you and @RequestMapping creates the URL mapping.
