In this example, we use ParameterizableViewController directly to map a URL to a view, instead of using ViewControllerRegistry. Implementing WebMvcConfigurer#addViewControllers() and calling registry.addViewController(...) (like last examples) actually creates and registers a ParameterizableViewController object and its handler mapping for you, behind the scenes. Both approaches end up using the same ParameterizableViewController class — the contrast is manual, low-level configuration versus the higher-level convenience API.
Example
The configuration class
package com.logicbig.example;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ViewResolverRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Bean
public ParameterizableViewController myViewController() {
ParameterizableViewController c = new ParameterizableViewController();
c.setViewName("myView");
c.setStatusCode(HttpStatus.OK);
return c;
}
@Bean
public HandlerMapping myHandlerMapping() {
SimpleUrlHandlerMapping m = new SimpleUrlHandlerMapping();
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
map.put("/test", myViewController());
m.setUrlMap(map);
m.setOrder(1);
return m;
}
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.jsp("/WEB-INF/pages/", ".jsp");
}
}
In the above configuration, we map the path '/test' to the view named 'myView'.
The View
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/pages/myView.jsp<html>
<body>
<h3>JSP view</h3>
<p>
Response Status: <%=response.getStatus() %>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Running the web application
To try examples, run embedded Jetty (configured in pom.xml of example project below):
mvn jetty:run  $ curl -s "http://localhost:8080/test"
<html>
<body>
<h3>JSP view</h3>
<p>
Response Status: 200
</p>
</body>
</html>
