I recently migrated my codes from jboss 4.2.3 to jboss 7. There's something kind of weird and I can't figure out the reason. I used annotation @Controller at the top of my handler class, but it does not work any more. When I changed to use xml instead, it works fine. Any anybody give some hints?

web.xml

My Controller Class

```
package com.xxx.appstore.web.controller;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class WebController 
{

    private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(WebController.class);

    @RequestMapping("home.do")
    public String home2(HttpServletRequest request, ModelMap model) {
         return "";
     }
   @RequestMapping("/home.do")
    public String home(HttpServletRequest request, ModelMap model) {

        return "web/home";
    }

}

```

I have updated the configuration files, which work for me for most annotations.
