DispatcherServlet
It is Front controller for Spring web mvc
Configuration in web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springWebMvcPract</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>namespace</param-name>
<param-value>XmlWebBeanFactory</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springWebMvcPract</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Request flow in application
5
Meaning of Important terms
DispatherServlet
first component which receive request is DispathcerServlet
Handler Mapping
Holds Mapping between URL and controller objects in application
Default Handler Mapping is BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping
Controller
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller is basic controller available and all spring’s
controllers implements this interface
ModelAndView
Spring controller can return instance of ModelAndView Default Handler.
This object act as helper for DispatcherServlet in getting view
6
Meaning of Important terms continue
ViewResolver
ViewResolver helps DispatcherServlet for getting instance of View that will render view
Main Purpose of ViewResolver is to map logical view name with view
Default ViewResolver for DispatcherServlet is InternalResourceViewResolver
View
This object is responsible for rendering view
org.springframework.web.servlet.View is basic interface available
commonly used View implementation for JSP
org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView

HandlerMapping :- Commonly Used HandlerMappings
Commonly used HandlerMappings
Name Details Imp note

BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping Maps controller to URL based By default DispatcherServlet use
on bean name this implementation
SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Maps Controller to URL based

on Property
8
HandlerMapping :- Configuration
For BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping <bean name="/security/login.htm"
class="com.gp.common.security.web.co
When client send request to application as ntroller.LoginController">
http://www.localhost.com:8080/spring_mvc/s <property name="formView"
ecurity/login.htm value="login" />
Dispatcher servlet will dispatch request to
<property name="successView"
LoginController
value="home" />
<property name="validator"
Imp note
ref="loginValidator" />
Since BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping is
default in spring application it is not </bean>
necessary to define in XML bean factory
When it is only URLHandlerMapper in
application
9
HandlerMapping :- Configuration
For SimpleUrlHandlerMapping URL HandlerMapping
<bean id="restrictedUrlMapping"
This handler mapping maps URL to
controller based on Property class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Si
mpleUrlHandlerMapping">
URL is act as a key while bean id act a <property name="mappings">
Value <props>
<prop
key="/logout.htm">logoutController</prop>
Here /logout.htm (i.e. Key) is mapped to
bean with id logoutController (i.e. value) </props>
</property>
</bean>
Controller definition
<bean id="logoutController"
class="com.gp.common.security.web.controller.Lo
goutController">
<property name="logoutView"
value="security/login.htm" />
</bean>
10
HandlerMapping :- Registering More than one HandlerMapping
Need <bean id="publicUrlMapping"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Bean
For large applications which need modular NameUrlHandlerMapping">
division of code <property name="order">
Here we defined 2 handler mappings <value>0</value>
</property>
With property order is initialized
</bean>
<bean id="restrictedUrlMapping"
Value of order property ↓ priority ↑
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Simpl
eUrlHandlerMapping">
here bean defined with id publicUrlMapping <property name="mappings">
has highest priority <props>
<prop key="/logout.htm">logoutController</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="order">
<value>1</value>
</property>
</bean>
11
HandlerMapping :- Best Practices
1] For large application divide application in small modules and for each
module define one handler mapping if possible
2] Try to avoid using BeanNameUrlHanlderMappings since this scatters

our URL mappings across multiple xml files
3] Define all handler mappings for whole application at one location
12
Interceptors :- Purpose
Spring Provides extremely useful functionality when we want

to apply some specific functionalities to client requests
Handler Interceptor process request before or after
appropriate controller process request
13
Interceptors :- Use cases
1] Our URLs can be classified on Macro level in 2 parts

Public URL e.g. login page, forgot password page etc
Restricted URL which need user’s authentication
e.g.. Logout
In this use case we need to check if user is having credentials to access
this pages
2] We need to capture some important information related to client when
client send request to server
e.g.. Client’s IP address, his/her Locale, accessed Pages etc
This information can be logged either in file or persisted in database
3] Increasing user experience
This kind of use case can play important role when application
moved to production mode and we need to check frequent visited pages
by client
14
Interceptors :- Example
If you want to create your own interceptor
you can choose to extend your class public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
HandlerInterceptorAdapter or implement
HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws
HandlerInterceptor Exception {
When Interceptor handle request? HttpSession session =
request.getSession(false);
It provides us functionality to process if (session == null) {
request before or after appropriate controller
has processed it response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/"
+ this.viewLocationForInvalidUrlAccess);
return false;
} else {
// user is having
preExisting session then
return true;
}
}
15
Interceptors :- Registering Interceptor with URLHandlerMapping
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
</bean>
<bean id="publicUrlMapping"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="order">
<value>0</value>
</property>
</bean>
16
Controllers :- classification
17
SimpleFormController
When to use SimpleFormController
When we need to process simple forms
Mandatory attributes SimpleFormController

commadClass :- class to be bind as a command object
formView :- logical name of form view
Some other Imp attributes

successView:- logical name of view after form submission
validator :- bean to validate form fields
Features
Provide Separation of Validation logic from controller
Binding of value objects struts lacks in it
Limitations
Controller chaining is difficult or not possible to implement.
Struts Provide Action Chaining
18
Spring tag library <spring-bind> tag
Purpose
Used to access command object and error associated with command object
Attributes
It has only one attribute named path indicates bean or bean property being used e.g. in
following listing we are accessing username attribute in comand object
<spring: bind path="command. username">

<input type="text" name="userName" size="20"
value="<%=status.getDisplayValue()%>">
<FONT color="red"> <B><%=status.getErrorMessage()%>
</B> </FONT>
</spring:bind>
19
Spring tag library :- BindStatus Object
Spring provides
org.springframework.web.servlet.support.BindStatus
object available in page scope with name status
Imp methods in BindStatus object available

getDisplayValue()
This method gives actual value of command attribute
getErrorMessage()
This method gives error associated with command attribute if any
20
ViewResolver :- ResourceBundleViewResolver
First Listing shows bean definition <bean name="/security/login.htm"
For LoginController this is nothing but child of class="com.gp.common.security.web.controller.Lo

SimpleFormController ginController">
<property name="formView" value="login" />
While second listing shows definition of <property name="successView" value="home"

/>
ViewResolver in XML bean factory
<property name="validator" ref="loginValidator" />
When any client want to see Login page
</bean>
It will send request as
http://localhost:8080/spring_mvc/security/login.htm <bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.Reso
urceBundleViewResolver">
3rd Listing shows definition View object and
corresponding view location 
<property name="basename" value="views" />
</bean>
login.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.J
stlView
login.url=/WEB-INF/views/jsp/common/login.jsp
21
Spring I18n
Spring provides CookieLocaleResolver which allow
user to change application language on the fly
Configuration
<bean id="localeResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver" />
<bean id="localeChangeInterceptor"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
</bean>
<bean id="publicUrlMapping"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="localeChangeInterceptor" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
