Question

I want my project to use more than one controller. My question is, how do I navigate from one controller to another and what should I do about having a standard home page for my users to land on? Should this be a separate “homeController”? I don’t understand how this should work. The “Spring in Action” book doesn’t go into enough details to explain this.

Thanks

You can use different Controllers (Java classes) with the @Controller annotation, depending on what you want to do is the URL associated with the method defined in the Controller, for example:

@Controller
public class HomeController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/home", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView home() {
        //code to process for the /home url
    }
    // More code
}
