Question

I’m trying to create simple urlMapping, but it doesn’t work. It goes into constructor, but don’t go into preHandle() or postHandle(). Here is xml part:

 <bean id="handlerMapping"
          class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
                 <prop key="/*">loginFilterSpring</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="loginFilterSpring" class="com.spacebattle.filters.LoginFilterSpring"/>

What I’m doing wrong?

UPD:
I created controller, but its method handleRequestInternal() never been called. Any ideas?

<bean id="handlerMapping"
          class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="interceptors">
            <list>
                <ref bean="loginFilterSpring"/>
            </list>
        </property> 
        <property name="mappings">

            <value>
                /*=loginFilterController
            </value> 
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="loginFilterSpring" class="com.spacebattle.filters.LoginFilterSpring"/>

    <bean id="loginFilterController" class="com.spacebattle.filters.LoginFilterController"/>

The mappings property of SimpleUrlHandlerMapping is for your controllers. You seem to be supplying it with a HandlerInterceptor, which it will just ignore.

You should specify interceptors in the interceptors property, not the mappings property. You then need to put a proper controller into the mappings property.
