This standard Spring MVC configuration file creates handlers, configures Tiles, and also internationalization.
The context:component-scan registers the PersonController
, which is defined
in the org.springbyexample.web.servlet.mvc
package.
The mvc:annotation-driven element registers a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping
and AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter
. It also sets up type converters and
a Bean Validation (JSR-303) validator (if JSR-303 library is present on the classpath).
The mvc:view-controller element sets an explicit mapping to the static index page.
The tilesConfigurer bean configures tiles and
dynamicTilesViewResolver takes the url of a request and uses it for the body in a Tiles template.
The last three beans configure locale and message resource handling. The LocaleChangeInterceptor
is registered
as an interceptor with the default handler by the surrounding mvc:interceptors element.
