public class ServletWrappingController
Spring Controller implementation that wraps a servlet instance which it manages internally. Such a wrapped servlet is not known outside of this controller; its entire lifecycle is covered here (in contrast to ServletForwardingController).
Useful to invoke an existing servlet via Spring's dispatching infrastructure, for example to apply Spring HandlerInterceptors to its requests. This will work even in a Servlet 2.2 container that does not support Servlet filters.
In particular, the main intent of this controller is to allow for applying Spring's OpenSessionInViewInterceptor or OpenPersistenceManagerInViewInterceptor to Struts actions in a Servlet 2.2 container. The Struts ActionServlet will be wrapped by this controller in such a scenario, rather than defined in web.xml. You then need to map "/*.do" (or whatever pattern you choose for your Struts actions) onto this controller, which will in turn forward to the Struts ActionServlet.
Note that Struts has a special requirement in that it parses web.xml to find its servlet mapping. Therefore, you need to specify the DispatcherServlet's servlet name as "servletName" on this controller, so that Struts finds the DispatcherServlet's mapping (thinking that it refers to the ActionServlet).
In a Servlet 2.3 container, when not using Spring's own web MVC framework, it is recommended to use classic servlet mapping in combination with a filter, for example Spring's OpenSessionInViewFilter or OpenPersistenceManagerInViewFilter.
Example: a DispatcherServlet XML context, forwarding "*.do" to the Struts ActionServlet wrapped by a ServletWrappingController. All such requests will go through the configured HandlerInterceptor chain (e.g. an OpenSessionInViewInterceptor). From the Struts point of view, everything will work as usual.

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

as failure to set an essential property) or if initialization fails.protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
