Question

What is the alternate for this Spring mvc 2 functionality in Spring MVC 3

  /*
   * (non-Javadoc)
   * 
   * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.AbstractController#handleRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest,
   * javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse)
   */
  @Override
    public ModelAndView handleRequest(
    HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response){}

Answer 1

In Spring MVC 2.* you map each controller to each URL. But Spring mvc 3 can map many url’s in one controller so each mapping function bahves like handlerequest and any check like for session availability will go in each method.

@RequestMapping(value = "/testUrl", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView getDownloadPage(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
//logic...........................
}
