Question

How to map a jsp for a url in spring 3 without requestmapping to any controller.

eg. /login to login.jsp without having any userdefined controller in between

Like URLFILENAMECONTROLLER in spring2.5, similarly in spring 3

Answer 1

You can do this:

<mvc:view-controller path="/login" view-name="login"/>

Assuming that you have defined a ViewResolver, something like this:

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>

This will resolve a request to /login to a /WEB-INF/views/login.jsp page
