Spring 4 MVC @RequestMapping on URL with parameters

Question

I am trying to implement an inline search form (if that makes sense). Basically, I want two mappings for this page.

    @RequestMapping(value="/application", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView view() {
        return new ModelAndView("application");
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/application?search=t")
    public ModelAndView handleSearch() {
        CaseManager caseManager = new CaseManager();
        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("application");
        modelAndView.addObject("caseList", caseManager.getCaseList());

        return modelAndView;
    }

So, /application is the main page of the web app. It has a search bar where a user can enter a handful of search parameters. When they click on search, the table of results should get populated on the page. I went with this route with no luck. I end up getting a 404 on /application?search=t.

The button's href="WebappName/application?search=t"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! I am new to this whole web dev world and got kind of thrown into the fire.

You'll want to use the params argument to the @RequestMapping:

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.2.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/web/bind/annotation/RequestMapping.html?is-external=true

e.g.:

@RequestMapping(value="/application" params="search")

If you want to capture the param value and do something with it or

@RequestMapping(value="/application" params="search=t")

if you want to dispatch to a specific param/value combination (looks like the fit in this case).
