Spring application AJAX call after login returns 404 not found

I ahve a spring application where an ajax call after login dosen't work.
I made the ajax function as below in CHrome dev tools snippets.
var today = new Date();
var month=today.getMonth();
var name="testuser";
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax/getStmt",
data: "name="+name+"&month="+month,
success: function(msg){
alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
},
error: function(msg){
alert("there was an error \n"+msg);
}
});
});
controller:
package com.cardholder.controller.ajax;
#Controller
public class StatementAjax {
#Autowired
public UserDao userDao;
//initialise logger, dao
#RequestMapping(value = "/ajax/getMonths", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getMonths(){
//get user from session
//get user token from session
/*UserStatement availableStmts = new UserStatement();
availableStmts.setAvailableStatements(userDao.getUserStatementMonths(user.getUser_token()));*/
return "months";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/ajax/getStmt", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String getStatement(#RequestParam(required = true) String name, #RequestParam(required = true) String month){
System.out.println(name+", "+month);
//get user from session
//get user token from session
/*UserStatement availableStmts = new UserStatement();
availableStmts.setAvailableStatements(userDao.getUserStatementMonths(user.getUser_token()));
ArrayList<UserStatement> s = (ArrayList<UserStatement>) userDao.getUserSelectedStatement(user.getUser_token(), 07, 2015);*/
return "statements";
}
}

As far as i know the request dosent even enter the application context even if the URL its trying to access is right.
i have a debug point in the dispatcher servlet's do dispatch method which should have been the first place to be reached before any interceptors, controllers etc. i dont see any thread pausing there.

Based on the above config Spring's dispatcher will be consulted, only if the incoming URL has some path info. e.g. login.htm, something.xx. However, if the url has no path info, like /getStmt, the dispatcher will not receive the request.
You can either change your ajax end point to some thing like /getStmt.ajax. Or add /as a url pattern in the web xml (this could have other implications, based on how other resources are served in your project).
If you are currently serving pages through xxxx.htm convention, I would recommend using xxxx.ajax convention for ajax requests.
You might also want to look at this answer : No mapping found for HTTP request with URI Spring MVC
Hope this helps.

Spring request scope in HttpRequestHandlerServlet does not work

I can't understand why the configuration does not work.
I make spring web applcation without mvc and use HttpRequestHandlerServlet class. I need that all beans use one Connection in one request. And I set request scope in Connection bean but when I run it:
IllegalStateException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.

The error message is pretty helpful. Since you aren't using the Dispatcher Servlet in your web.xml (as for a standard spring mvc app):
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springapp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
You need to find another way to give spring access to the request. Adding the RequestContextListener to your web.xml should do the trick:
<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
</listener-class>
</listener>

I thing I understand. HttpRequestHandlerServlet is singleton. RequestHandler as field of HttpRequestHandlerServlet must be proxy to refresh all "request" scope beans inside
and RequestContextListener must be in web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>
org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
</listener-class>
</listener>
it is work app-context.xml:
<bean id="monitoring" class="com.sotas.terminal.server.servlet.MonitoringServlet" scope="request">
<property name="conn" ref="conn"/>
<aop:scoped-proxy/>
<property name="monitoringService">

Spring does not connect to mysql database using JPA datasource

I have a spring project and i want my tables created by hibernate but i think my app can't connect to database. I changed my datasource db url to be wrong and there is no exception at all. When i change packagesToScan property to a value which does not exist, still there is no exceptions. So the problem is that spring does not try to connect to the db.
Here is my root-context.xml.

Deploying Web App With Spring MVC

I have never come across this problem before. Actaully, I have a web application running through a war file. I have configured Spring to work with it and it works perfectly.
The problem is that I am trying to configure Activiti through Spring. Basically, there is a set of .bpmn20.xml files inside the WEB-INF/processes folder. The Activiti team has mentioned that they do not know how to configure this inside a web application. As a standlone application I can deploy resources .bpmn20.xml files automatically as the processes folder is on the classpath. I have having trouble configuring in a web application structure.
Please see below:
I am created a Spring MVC application and created an Activiti database by running the DbSchemaCreate.main(). Actaully my processes don't seem to deploy on the war file. When Tomcat starts the ProcessEngine is started through Spring and works. I can access the RuntimeService. The code can be seen below:

How can this resource be located inside the webapp?
I have tried putting it in WEB-INF/processes/ProcessExample.bpmn20.xml.
I have also tried:
<property name="deploymentResources" value="/WEB-INF/processes.*.bpmn20.xml"/>
EDIT
This website may help, but I am stuck.
Is WEB-INF in the CLASSPATH?

Maybe try adding the folder where the process is defined (your bpmn20.xml file) to the build path.
The error tells you, that the Activiti-Engine cannot find your file, that's why you need to tell it where to find it.

Try This :

Above code is spring-config.xml
Add database.properties file in resources folder of src folder. So write code in database.properties

database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/apmc_db
database.user=root
database.password=
hibernate.show_sql=true

OpenSessionInViewFilter doesnt work in a JSF+Spring+Hibernate application

I want to use OpenSessionInViewFilter in my JSF 2.1+Spring 3.1+Hibernate 3.6.6 project
in order to get rid of the .LazyInitializationException.
Although i declare the filter in web.xml i keep getting ;
org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize
a collection of role: pts.entity.Invention.inventors, no
session or session was closed

I use spring managed(HibernateTemplate) hibernate daos for db operations.Thanks for the help.

You just have to be sure that you are not redirecting between JSF view for example:
In this view your Open Session in vew Filter will work:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>start.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>page1</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>page1.xhtml</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
and if you modify this example this way:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>start.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>page1</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>page1.xhtml</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Your Filter will bnot help you because you are redirecting and this is completely new request and your original Hibernate session is already closed.
Inspired by this post:
OpenSessionInViewFilter +Redirect in JSF

When does it fail? I can see that you use Spring Security and have springSecurityFilterChain defined in you web.xml. And would assume that filter loads user from database and user has lazy collection that is accessed later, when Hibernate session created during authentication is propably closed, before OpenSessionInView filter starts executing.
Remember that filter-mapping order makes sense, filter executed in the order of their filter mappings are declared. I would try reorder them first.
