View Resolvers
The MVC configuration simplifies the registration of view resolvers.
The following Java configuration example configures content negotiation view
resolution by using JSP and Jackson as a default View
for JSON rendering:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.enableContentNegotiation(new MappingJackson2JsonView());
registry.jsp();
}
}
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
class WebConfig : WebMvcConfigurer {
override fun configureViewResolvers(registry: ViewResolverRegistry) {
registry.enableContentNegotiation(MappingJackson2JsonView())
registry.jsp()
}
}
The following example shows how to achieve the same configuration in XML:
<mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:content-negotiation>
<mvc:default-views>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJackson2JsonView"/>
</mvc:default-views>
</mvc:content-negotiation>
<mvc:jsp/>
</mvc:view-resolvers>
Note, however, that FreeMarker, Groovy Markup, and script templates also require configuration of the underlying view technology.
The MVC namespace provides dedicated elements. The following example works with FreeMarker:
<mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:content-negotiation>
<mvc:default-views>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJackson2JsonView"/>
</mvc:default-views>
</mvc:content-negotiation>
<mvc:freemarker cache="false"/>
</mvc:view-resolvers>
<mvc:freemarker-configurer>
<mvc:template-loader-path location="/freemarker"/>
</mvc:freemarker-configurer>
In Java configuration, you can add the respective Configurer
bean,
as the following example shows:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class WebConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Override
public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
registry.enableContentNegotiation(new MappingJackson2JsonView());
registry.freeMarker().cache(false);
}
@Bean
public FreeMarkerConfigurer freeMarkerConfigurer() {
FreeMarkerConfigurer configurer = new FreeMarkerConfigurer();
configurer.setTemplateLoaderPath("/freemarker");
return configurer;
}
}
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
class WebConfig : WebMvcConfigurer {
override fun configureViewResolvers(registry: ViewResolverRegistry) {
registry.enableContentNegotiation(MappingJackson2JsonView())
registry.freeMarker().cache(false)
}
@Bean
fun freeMarkerConfigurer() = FreeMarkerConfigurer().apply {
setTemplateLoaderPath("/freemarker")
}
}
