In this tutorial, we show you how to develop a Spring MVC annotation-based MultiActionController, by using @RequestMapping. In XML-based MultiActionController, you have to configure the method name resolver (InternalPathMethodNameResolver, PropertiesMethodNameResolver or ParameterMethodNameResolver) to map the URL to a particular method name. But, life is more easier with annotation support, now you can use @RequestMapping annotation […]

ParameterMethodNameResolver, a MultiActionController method name resolver to map URL to method name via request parameter name, and the parameter name is customizable through the “paramName” property. See following example : 1. MultiActionController A MultiActionController example. package com.mkyong.common.controller; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView; import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.MultiActionController; public class CustomerController extends MultiActionController{ public ModelAndView add(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse […]

PropertiesMethodNameResolver, a flexible MultiActionController method name resolver, to define the mapping between the URL and method name explicitly. See following example : 1. MultiActionController A MultiActionController example. package com.mkyong.common.controller; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView; import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.MultiActionController; public class CustomerController extends MultiActionController{ public ModelAndView add(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { return new ModelAndView("CustomerPage", "msg","add() […]

MultiActionController See a MultiActionController example. package com.mkyong.common.controller; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView; import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.MultiActionController; public class […]

In last Spring MVC form handling example, we should you the use of SimpleFormController to handle single page form submission, which is quite straightforward and easy. But, sometimes, you may need to deal with “wizard form“, which need handle form into multiple pages, and ask user to fill in the form page by page. The […]

Problem In Spring MVC application, often times, you may applying few view resolver strategies to resolve the view name. For example, combine three view resolvers together : InternalResourceViewResolver, ResourceBundleViewResolver and XmlViewResolver. <beans …> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver"> <property name="location"> <value>/WEB-INF/spring-views.xml</value> </property> </bean> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver"> <property name="basename" value="spring-views" /> </bean> <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" > <property name="prefix"> <value>/WEB-INF/pages/</value> </property> […]

In Spring MVC, org.springframework.web.servlet.view.RedirectView, as name indicated, a view redirect to another absolute, context relative, or current request relative URL. In this tutorial, we show you a complete example to use RedirectView class. 1. RedirectView Declare a RedirectView bean, named “DummyRedirect“, redirect to URL “DummyRedirectPage.htm“. File : spring-views.xml <beans …> <!– Redirect view –> <bean […]

In general, to return a view or page in Spring MVC application, you need to create a class, which extends the AbstractController , and return a ModelAndView() object. public class WelcomeController extends AbstractController{ @Override protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("WelcomePage"); return model; } } In the bean […]

In Spring MVC, ResourceBundleViewResolver is used to resolve “view named” based on view beans in “.properties” file. By default, ResourceBundleViewResolver will loads the view beans from file views.properties, which located at the root of the project class path. However, this location can be overridden through the “basename” property, for example, <beans …> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver"> <property […]

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. […]
