3,241 PointsIn your ContactController.java file, you have unnecessary curly braces:
@RequestMapping("/contact") { //<== this one is not needed
public String contact(ModelMap modelMap) {
Contact contact = new Contact(12, "hello", "world", "helloworld12@gmail.com");
modelMap.put("contact", contact);
return "contact_detail";
}
}//<== this one is not needed
