1. Project Structure

Download the project source code and review the project folder structure :

2. Maven

A pom.xml template to quick start a Spring MVC project, it defines Spring 4 dependencies and Eclipse workspace configuration.

 <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

3. Controller & Mapping

The @RequestMapping has been available since 2.5, but now enhanced to support REST style URLs.

 package com.b510.hongten.demo.web;

 import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

 import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

 import org.springframework.ui.Model;

 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;

 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

 import com.b510.hongten.demo.entity.Demo;

 /**

  * @author Hongten

  * @date Nov 19, 2017

  */

 @Controller

 @RequestMapping("/demo")

 public class DemoController {

     private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DemoController.class);

     @RequestMapping(value = "/show/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET)

     public String show(@PathVariable("name") String name, Model model) {

         logger.info("name is " + name);

         Demo demo = new Demo();

         demo.setTitle("Spring MVC Demo");

         demo.setName(name);

         model.addAttribute(demo);

         return "demo/show";

     }

     @RequestMapping(value = "/show", method = RequestMethod.GET)

     public String show(Model model) {

         logger.info("show method...");

         Demo demo = new Demo();

         demo.setTitle("Spring MVC Demo");

         demo.setName("Hongten");

         model.addAttribute("demo", demo);

         return "demo/show";

     }

 }

4. JSP Views

A JSP page(show.jsp) to display the value, and include bootstrap css and js.

 <%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>

 <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>

 <!DOCTYPE html>

 <html lang="en">

 <jsp:include page="/WEB-INF/views/common/common-libs.jsp" />

 <head>

 <title>Spring MVC Demo</title>

 </head>

 <nav class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">

   <div class="container">

     <div class="navbar-header">

         <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Spring MVC Demo</a>

     </div>

   </div>

 </nav>

 <div class="jumbotron">

   <div class="container">

     <h1>${demo.title}</h1>

     <p>

         <c:if test="${not empty demo.name}">

             Hello <font color='red'>${demo.name}</font>

         </c:if>

         <c:if test="${empty demo.name}">

             Welcome Welcome!

         </c:if>

     </p>

     <p>

     <a class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" href="./demo/show" role="button">Home</a>

     </p>

   </div>

 </div>

 <div class="container">

   <div class="row">

     <div class="col-md-4">

         <h2>Heading</h2>

         <p>Totoro</p>

         <p>

         <a class="btn btn-default" href="./demo/show/Totoro" role="button">View details</a>

         </p>

     </div>

     <div class="col-md-4">

         <h2>Heading</h2>

         <p>Tome James</p>

         <p>

         <a class="btn btn-default" href="./demo/show/Tome James" role="button">View details</a>

         </p>

     </div>

     <div class="col-md-4">

         <h2>Heading</h2>

         <p>John *</p>

         <p>

         <a class="btn btn-default" href="./demo/show/John *" role="button">View details</a>

         </p>

     </div>

   </div>

   <hr>

   <footer>

     <p>© Hongten 2017</p>

   </footer>

 </div>

 </body>

 </html>

5. Spring XML Configuration

5.1. Enable component scanning, view resolver and resource mapping.

 <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

     xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

     xsi:schemaLocation="

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.2.xsd

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context

         http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd">

     <!-- Enable component scanning -->

     <context:component-scan base-package="com.b510.hongten" />

     <!-- Enable annotation -->

     <mvc:annotation-driven />

     <!-- Enable view resolver -->

     <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">

         <property name="prefix">

             <value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>

         </property>

         <property name="suffix">

             <value>.jsp</value>

         </property>

     </bean>

     <!-- Enable resource mapping -->

     <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

 </beans>

5.2. Declares a DispatcherServlet in web.xml. If the Spring XML configuration file is NOT specified, Spring will look for the {servlet-name}-servlet.xml.

In this example, Spring will look for the spring-web-servlet.xml file.

 <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee

           http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"

     version="3.0">

     <servlet>

         <servlet-name>spring-web</servlet-name>

         <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>

         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

     </servlet>

     <servlet-mapping>

         <servlet-name>spring-web</servlet-name>

         <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

     </servlet-mapping>

 </web-app>
