public class DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping
extends AbstractDetectingUrlHandlerMapping

Implementation of the HandlerMapping interface that maps handlers based on HTTP paths expressed through the RequestMapping annotation at the type or method level.

Registered by default in DispatcherServlet on Java 5+. NOTE: If you define custom HandlerMapping beans in your DispatcherServlet context, you need to add a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping bean explicitly, since custom HandlerMapping beans replace the default mapping strategies. Defining a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping also allows for registering custom interceptors:

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
   <property name="interceptors">
     ...
   </property>
 </bean>

Annotated controllers are usually marked with the Controller stereotype at the type level. This is not strictly necessary when RequestMapping is applied at the type level (since such a handler usually implements the Controller interface). However, Controller is required for detecting RequestMapping annotations at the method level.

NOTE: Method-level mappings are only allowed to narrow the mapping expressed at the class level (if any). HTTP paths need to uniquely map onto specific handler beans, with any given HTTP path only allowed to be mapped onto one specific handler bean (not spread across multiple handler beans). It is strongly recommended to co-locate related handler methods into the same bean.

The AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter is responsible for processing annotated handler methods, as mapped by this HandlerMapping. For RequestMapping at the type level, specific HandlerAdapters such as SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter apply.
