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.

Questions

Answers

Consider the following customer Controller:

@Controller("/customers")   
public class CustomerController {    
       
   @RequestMapping("/list")   
   public String list(Model model) {    
      return "customers";   
   }    
    
   @RequestMapping("/process")   
   public String process(Model model) {    
      // return     
   }   
}   

If I want to redirect the list method from process, how should I form the return statement with the process method?

3. return "redirect:customers/list"

Consider the following resource configuration:

@Override    
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry   registry) {    
   registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")    
          .addResourceLocations("/pdf/");    
}    

Under the pdf directory, if I have a sub-directory such as product/manuals/, which contains a PDF file called manual-P1234.pdf, how can I form the request path to access that PDF file?

2. /resources/product/manuals/manual-P1234.pdf
