public class ServletForwardingController
Spring Controller implementation that forwards to a named servlet, i.e. the "servlet-name" in web.xml rather than a URL path mapping. A target servlet doesn't even need a "servlet-mapping" in web.xml in the first place: A "servlet" declaration is sufficient.
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 servlets in a Servlet 2.2 container. The specified "servlet-name" will simply refer to a custom servlet definition in web.xml in such a scenario. You then need to map "/myservlet" (or whatever path you choose for your servlet) onto this controller, which will in turn forward to your servlet.
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: web.xml, mapping all "/myservlet" requests to a Spring dispatcher. Also defines a custom "myServlet", but without servlet mapping.
<servlet> <servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name> <servlet-class>mypackage.TestServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>myDispatcher</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>myDispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>Example: myDispatcher-servlet.xml, in turn forwarding "/myservlet" to your servlet (identified by servlet name). All such requests will go through the configured HandlerInterceptor chain (e.g. an OpenSessionInViewInterceptor). From the servlet point of view, everything will work as usual.

public void setServletName(String servletName)
Default is the bean name of this controller.
public void setBeanName(String name)
BeanNameAware
Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an
init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()
or a custom init-method.
setBeanName
in interface BeanNameAware
name
- the name of the bean in the factory.
Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may
differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean
names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending
"#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils.originalBeanName(String)
method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception

Performs a check whether an include URI attribute is found in the request, indicating an include request, and whether the response has already been committed. In both cases, an include will be performed, as a forward is not possible anymore.
