java spring spring-mvc datatable dandelion

Datatables Spring 4 Hibernate Tiles 3 Configuration Error

I am trying to implement Datatables spring in my project.

In RoleController.java file

@Controller
public class RoleController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/masterRole")
public ModelAndView about() {
    RoleDAO dao = new RoleDAOImpl();
    List<Role> list = dao.list();
    ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();
    model.addObject("list",list);
    model.setViewName("roleTile");
    return model;
     }
}

In tiles.xml file

  <definition name="roleTile" extends="base.definition" >
    <put-attribute name="title" value="DAM Role Master" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/pages/viewRole.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="menuselection" value="master" />
</definition>

In viewRole.jsp file

 <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
 <%@ taglib prefix="datatables" uri="http://github.com/dandelion/datatables" %>

 <datatables:table id="roles" data="${list}" row="role" cssClass="table table-striped">
<datatables:column title="Id">
    <c:out value="${role.roleId}"></c:out>
</datatables:column>
<datatables:column title="Role">
    <c:out value="${role.role}"></c:out>
</datatables:column>
 </datatables:table>

I am getting following error

I am new to Datatables. Please help me.

Links are also invited for Datatbles step by step integration with Spring 4 with hibernate and tiles.

Solution

The error says configuration is missing in web.xml for datatables

Step 1: In web.xml

<!-- Dandelion-Datatables servlet definition -->
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>datatablesController</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.github.dandelion.datatables.extras.servlet2.servlet.DatatablesServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>datatablesController</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/datatablesController/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<!-- Dandelion servlet definition and mapping -->
<servlet>
  <servlet-name>dandelionServlet</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.github.dandelion.core.web.DandelionServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>dandelionServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/dandelion-assets/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

  <!-- Dandelion filter definition and mapping -->
 <filter>
   <filter-name>dandelionFilter</filter-name>
   <filter-class>com.github.dandelion.core.web.DandelionFilter</filter-class>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
   <filter-name>dandelionFilter</filter-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Step 2: Add Required jar files

commons-beanutils-1.9.1.jar
dandelion-core-0.10.0.jar
datatables-core-0.10.0.jar
datatables-jsp-0.10.0.jar
datatables-servlet2-0.9.3.jar
ehcache-core-2.6.9.jar
jackson-annotations-2.2.3.jar
jackson-core-2.2.3.jar
jackson-databind-2.2.3.jar
json-simple-1.1.1.jar
jstl-api.jar
jstl-impl.jar
log4j-1.2.16.jar

Other jars: Spring jars + tiles jars + hibernate jars

Note: I mensioned jars as per my project needs, you can add jars as per your need.
