Class PropertiesMethodNameResolver

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver
      org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.PropertiesMethodNameResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, MethodNameResolver

public class PropertiesMethodNameResolver

extends AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver

implements InitializingBean

The most sophisticated and useful framework implementation of the MethodNameResolver interface. Uses java.util.Properties defining the mapping between the URL of incoming requests and method name. Such properties can be held in an XML document.

Properties format is /welcome.html=displayGenresPage Note that method overloading isn't allowed, so there's no need to specify arguments.

Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and a various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" matches both "/test" and "/team". For details, see the PathMatcher class.
