View Controllers Configuration
In this section, you will learn about configuring ParameterizableViewController through MVC Java config and XML Namespace.
The configuration describe in this section is a shortcut for defining a ParameterizableViewController which instantly redirect a request to a view without visiting controller.
It can be utilize in a situation when controller has no Java logic code to execute before the view renders the response.
Given below MVC Java config to forward to a view "home", when gets a request for "/" :
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MyWebAppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
@Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("index");
}
}
You can do the same in MVC XML Namespace using element <mvc:view-controller> as :
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="index"/>
