Question

I am new to Spring MVC. But I had certain experience in working with Struts 1.x. I would like to know if it is a common practice to customize DispatcherServlet while working with Spring MVC, like people sometimes customize ActionServlet or RequestProcessor in Struts 1.x?

Or let’s extend the question a little bit. Where are the entry points for a veteran Spring MVC programmer to customize the MVC framework?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Definitely it is a good practice. Spring Framework – Web MVC framework

SUMMARY: You can customize Spring’s
DispatcherServlet by adding context
parameters …. especially handy when
you have a lot of common functionality
in one controller.
