No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/SpringSecurityLoginForm/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'

Question

I tried to run a Spring Security Login Form application using spring mvc.

This is my URL:

http://localhost:8087/SpringSecurityLoginForm/

when I am adding login at the end of the URL:

http://localhost:8087/SpringSecurityLoginForm/login

When I am adding(manually) login at the end of the url, the login page appears and its displaying the username and password fields. But its not coming automatically. I have checked the controller mappping and tried some suggestion for the same topic but its not working. Please let me know the fault in the code to fix it.

My console:

Got it!

You need to have this:

<intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />

instead of just /welcome*. Otherwise the Spring Security doesn't determine the root context / as a secured resource.
