Description
Interface Summary | |
---|---|
Controller | Base Controller interface, representing a component that receives
HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse
instances just like a HttpServlet but is able to
participate in an MVC workflow. |
LastModified | Supports last-modified HTTP requests to facilitate content caching. |
Class Summary | |
---|---|
AbstractCommandController | Abstract base class for custom command controllers. |
AbstractController | Convenient superclass for controller implementations, using the Template Method design pattern. |
AbstractFormController | Form controller that auto-populates a form bean from the request. |
AbstractUrlViewController | Abstract base class for Controllers that return a view name
based on the request URL. |
AbstractWizardFormController | Form controller for typical wizard-style workflows. |
BaseCommandController | Controller implementation which creates an object (the command object) on receipt of a request and attempts to populate this object with request parameters. |
CancellableFormController | Extension of SimpleFormController that supports "cancellation"
of form processing. |
HttpRequestHandlerAdapter | Adapter to use the plain HttpRequestHandler
interface with the generic DispatcherServlet . |
ParameterizableViewController | Trivial controller that always returns a named view. |
ServletForwardingController | Spring Controller implementation that forwards to a named servlet, i.e. the "servlet-name" in web.xml rather than a URL path mapping. |
ServletWrappingController | Spring Controller implementation that wraps a servlet instance which it manages internally. |
SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter | Adapter to use the plain Controller workflow interface with
the generic DispatcherServlet . |
SimpleFormController | Concrete FormController implementation that provides configurable form and success views, and an onSubmit chain for convenient overriding. |
UrlFilenameViewController | Simple Controller implementation that transforms the virtual
path of a URL into a view name and returns that view. |
WebContentInterceptor | Interceptor that checks and prepares request and response. |
Standard controller implementations for the servlet MVC framework that comes with Spring. Provides both abstract base classes and concrete implementations for often seen use cases.
A Controller
- as defined in this package - is analogous to a Struts
Action
. Usually Controllers
are JavaBeans
to allow easy configuration using the org.springframework.beans
package. Controllers define the C
from so-called MVC paradigm
and can be used in conjunction with the ModelAndView
to achieve interactive applications. The view might be represented by a
HTML interface, but, because of model and the controller being completely
independent of the view, PDF views are possible, as well as for instance Excel
views.
How to actually set up a (web)application using the MVC framework Spring provides is explained in more detail in the MVC-Step-by-Step tutorial, also provided in this package (or have a look here for an online version). The classes contained by this package explain in more detail the actual workflow of some of the abstract and concrete controller and how to extend and fully use their functionality.
Especially useful to read, while getting into the Spring MVC framework are the following:
