Spring MVC: Handler Mapping Tutorial

Spring MVC use controller pattern to serve the requests. DispatcherServlet acts as a front controller, it receives all the requests, and pass the requests to correspondent handlers with the help of handler mappings.

'org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerMapping' interface is responsible for maping the requests to handlers. Spring provides concrete implementation to this interface, you can choose one of them based on your interest.

At the time of writing this post, below are the concrete implementations of the HandlerMapping interface.

         a. BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping,

         b. RequestMappingHandlerMapping,

         c. RequestMappingInfoHandlerMapping,

         d. SimpleUrlHandlerMapping,
