In Spring MVC, XmlViewResolver is used to resolve “view name” based on view beans in the XML file. By default, XmlViewResolver will loads the view beans from /WEB-INF/views.xml, however, this location can be overridden through the “location” property : <beans …> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver"> <property name="location"> <value>/WEB-INF/spring-views.xml</value> </property> </bean> </beans> In above case, it loads the […]
In Spring MVC, InternalResourceViewResolver is used to resolve “internal resource view” (in simple, it’s final output, jsp or htmp page) based on a predefined URL pattern. In additional, it allow you to add some predefined prefix or suffix to the view name (prefix + view name + suffix), and generate the final view page URL. […]
In Spring MVC application, comes with few “LocaleResolver” to support the internationalization or multiple languages features. In this tutorial, it shows a simple welcome page, display the message from properties file, and change the locale based on the selected language link. 1. Project Folder Directory structure of this example. 2. Properties file Two properties files […]
Problem In Spring MVC application, while changing the locale with “org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor“, it hits the following error java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot change HTTP accept header – use a different locale resolution strategy …AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver.setLocale(AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver.java:45) Solution In Spring MVC application, if you do not configure the Spring’s LocaleResolver, it will use the default AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver, which does not allow to change […]
In this tutorial, we will show you how to use the log4j framework to do the logging in a Spring MVC web application. Technologies and tools used : Log4j 1.2.17 Spring 4.1.6.RELEASE Maven 3 Tomcat 6 Eclipse Kepler 4.3 Note By default, Spring (spring-core) is using the JCL (commons-logging) for logging, and the JCL has […]
Spring MVC allow you to intercept web request through handler interceptors. The handler interceptor have to implement the HandlerInterceptor interface, which contains three methods : preHandle() – Called before the handler execution, returns a boolean value, “true” : continue the handler execution chain; “false”, stop the execution chain and return it. postHandle() – Called after […]
Often times, you may mix use of multiple handler mappings strategy in Spring MVC development. For example, use ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping to map all the convention handler mappings, and SimpleUrlHandlerMapping to map other special handler mappings explicitly. <beans …> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"> <property name="mappings"> <value> /index.htm=welcomeController /welcome.htm=welcomeController /main.htm=welcomeController /home.htm=welcomeController </value> </property> <property name="order" value="0" /> </bean> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping" […]
In Spring MVC application, the SimpleUrlHandlerMapping is the most flexible handler mapping class, which allow developer to specify the mapping of URL pattern and handlers explicitly. The SimpleUrlHandlerMapping can be declared in two ways. 1. Method 1 – prop key The property keys are the URL patterns while the property values are the handler IDs […]
In Spring MVC, ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping use convention to map requested URL to Controller (convention over configuration). It takes the Class name, remove the ‘Controller’ suffix if exists and return the remaining text, lower-cased and with a leading “/”. See following few examples to demonstrate the use of this ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping class. 1. Before and After By default, […]
In Spring MVC, BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping is the default handler mapping mechanism, which maps URL requests to the name of the beans. For example, <beans …> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping"/> <bean name="/welcome.htm" class="com.mkyong.common.controller.WelcomeController" /> <bean name="/streetName.htm" class="com.mkyong.common.controller.StreetNameController" /> <bean name="/process*.htm" class="com.mkyong.common.controller.ProcessController" /> </beans> In above example, If URI pattern /welcome.htm is requested, DispatcherServlet will forward the request to the […]

Problem In Spring MVC development, developer try to set a value into a model, and display the value in JSP via EL, e.g ${msg}, but it just outputs the result as it is – ${msg}, not the “value” stored in the model.

If we use the NIO Files.delete to delete a non-empty directory in Java, it throws DirectoryNotEmptyException; for legacy IO File.delete to delete a non-empty directory, it returns a false. The standard solution is to loop the directory recursively, and delete all its children’s contents first (sub-files or sub-directories), and delete the parent later. This example […]
