org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.metadata

To use this feature, using the Commons Attributes implementation, perform the following steps:

1. Invoke the Commons Attributes compiler on your application classes. The classes must be compiled into a Jar rather than the WEB-INF/classes directory.
2. Run the Commons Attributes attribute indexer tool on the Jar containing your controllers.
3. Use Commons Attributes syntax to define a PathMap attribute for each Controller you want mapped.
4. Define a bean of type UrlHandlerMapping in your servletName-servlet.xml bean definition file in your web application. No parameters are required.

You can also use other HandlerMappings, such as BeanNameHandlerMapping, in the same servlet XML file.

The path must be mapped to the relevant Spring DispatcherServlet in /WEB-INF/web.xml. It's possible to have multiple PathMap attributes on the one controller class.

Controllers instantiated by this class may have dependencies on middle tier objects, expressed via JavaBean properties or constructor arguments.

Controllers must have class attributes of the form: &64;org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.commonsattributes.PathMap("/path.cgi")

The path must be mapped to the relevant Spring DispatcherServlet in /WEB-INF/web.xml. It's possible to have multiple PathMap attributes on the one controller class.

To use this feature, you must compile application classes with Commons Attributes, and run the Commons Attributes indexer tool on your application classes, which must be in a Jar rather than in WEB-INF/classes.
