In this tutorial you will learn about the Spring MVC XmlViewResolver

Spring web VelocityViewResolver

The org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver allows you to use apache velocity as a view. To use velocity as view you need to first add the VelocityConfigurer as

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
	<property name="resourceLoaderPath">
		<value>/</value>
	</property>
</bean>

And then add the mapping for VelocityViewResolver

<bean id="velocityViewResolver"
		class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver">
	<property name="prefix">
		<value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>
	</property>
	<property name="suffix">
		<value>.vm</value>
	</property>
</bean>

The following is the complete dispatcher-servlet.xml

<?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"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">

<context:component-scan base-package="roseindia.net.controller" />

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer">
	<property name="resourceLoaderPath">
		<value>/</value>
	</property>
</bean>

<bean id="velocityViewResolver"
			class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver">
	<property name="prefix">
		<value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>
	</property>
	<property name="suffix">
		<value>.vm</value>
	</property>
</bean>

</beans>

Controller class for the above application is

package roseindia.net.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class AppController {
	@RequestMapping("/load-view")
	public String loadView() {
		return "hello";
	}
}

The velocity view is as follows

<html>
	<body>
		#set( $foo = "Velocity" )
		Hello $foo World!
	</body>
<html>
