Spring MVC ResourceBundleViewResolver Example

org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver uses the ResourceBundle from class path by default. That bundle is mapped with their class and location for each views returned by its controller.

The following is the mapping for ResourceBundleViewResolver

<bean id="resourceBundleViewResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver">
	<property name="basename">
		<value>spring-views</value>
	</property>
</bean>

It will find out spring-views.properties in the class path. This file will contain the mapping for all the views as given bellow.

registration.(class) = org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
registration.url = /WEB-INF/views/student/registration.jsp

success.(class) = org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
success.url = /WEB-INF/views/student/success.jsp

A typical dispatcher-servlet.xml is given below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

</bean>

<bean id="service" class="roseindia.service.serviceImpl.AppServiceImpl">
