Overview of this book

Spring MVC helps you build flexible and loosely coupled web applications. The Spring MVC Framework is architected and designed in such a way that every piece of logic and functionality is highly configurable. Also, Spring can integrate effortlessly with other popular web frameworks such as Struts, WebWork, Java Server Faces, and Tapestry. The book progressively teaches you to configure the Spring development environment, architecture, controllers, libraries, and more before moving on to developing a full web application. It begins with an introduction to the Spring development environment and architecture so you're familiar with the know-hows. From here, we move on to controllers, views, validations, Spring Tag libraries, and more. Finally, we integrate it all together to develop a web application. You'll also get to grips with testing applications for reliability.

Preface

Chapter 5. Working with View Resolver

In the last chapter, you saw how to use some of the Spring tags that could only be used in JSP and JSTL Views, but Spring has excellent support for other View technologies as well. Spring MVC maintains a high level of decoupling between the View and the Controller; the Controller knows nothing about the View except the View name. It is the responsibility of the view resolver to map the correct View for the given View name.

In this chapter, we will have a deeper look into Views and view resolvers. After finishing this chapter, you will have a clear idea about:

  • Views and resolving Views

  • Static Views

  • A multipart view resolver

  • Content negotiation

  • Handler Exception Resolver
