View Controllers
This is a shortcut for defining a ParameterizableViewController
that immediately
forwards to a view when invoked. You can use it in static cases when there is no Java controller
logic to run before the view generates the response.
The following example forwards a request for /
to a view called home
:
-
Java
-
Kotlin
-
Xml
@Configuration
public class WebConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {
@Override
public void addViewControllers(ViewControllerRegistry registry) {
registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("home");
}
}
@Configuration
class WebConfiguration : WebMvcConfigurer {
override fun addViewControllers(registry: ViewControllerRegistry) {
registry.addViewController("/").setViewName("home")
}
}
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="home"/>
If an @RequestMapping
method is mapped to a URL for any HTTP method then a view
controller cannot be used to handle the same URL. This is because a match by URL to an
annotated controller is considered a strong enough indication of endpoint ownership so
that a 405 (METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED), a 415 (UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE), or similar response can
be sent to the client to help with debugging. For this reason it is recommended to avoid
splitting URL handling across an annotated controller and a view controller.
