Configuration file is as follows:
package com.aubrey.demo;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver;
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#EnableWebMvc
public class WebMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
#Override
public void configureDefaultServletHandling(DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
configurer.enable();
}
#Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver jspViewResolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/jsps/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return resolver;
}
#Bean(name = "messageSource")
public ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource getMessageSource() {
ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource resource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource();
resource.setBasename("classpath:messages");
resource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
return resource;
}
#Bean
public XmlViewResolver xmlViewResolver(){
XmlViewResolver resolver = new XmlViewResolver();
Resource resource = new ClassPathResource("/WEB-INF/Spring/views.xml");
resolver.setLocation(resource);
//xmlViewResolver().setOrder(1);
return resolver;
}
}
views.xml is as follows :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd">
<bean id="welcome" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView">
<property name="url" value="/WEB-INF/views/xml_welcome.jsp" />
</bean>
</beans>
</beans>
Home controller is as follows:
package com.aubrey.demo.controllers;
import com.aubrey.demo.data.entities.Project;
import com.aubrey.demo.data.entities.Sponsor;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
#Controller
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping("/home")
public String goHome(Model model){
Project project = new Project();
project.setName("First Project");
project.setSponsor(new Sponsor("NASA", "555-555-5555", "nasa#nasa.com"));
project.setDescription("This is a simple project sponsored by NASA");
model.addAttribute("currentProject", project);
return "welcome";
}
}
