Example:
Prerequisite:
You need to create spring mvc hello world example first.
Once you are done with spring mvc sample project. We need to add or modify following files.
- Make changes to HelloWorldController.java
- Modify index.jsp
- Modify hello.jsp
Thats all we need to do to demonstrate Spring MultiActionController example.
1) change HelloWorldController.java as below
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 |
package org.arpit.java2blog.springmvc.controller; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; @Controller public class HelloWorldController { @RequestMapping("/helloworld") public String hello(ModelMap map) { String helloWorldMessage = "Hello world from java2blog!"; String welcomeMessage = "Welcome to java2blog!"; map.addAttribute("helloMessage", helloWorldMessage); map.addAttribute("welcomeMessage", welcomeMessage); return "hello"; } } |
We have added two attributes to ModelMap and they will be used in jsp with helloMessage and welcomeMessage
2) Modify index.jsp
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>HelloWorld</title> </head> <body> Click here to read hello and welcome message </body> </html> |
3)Modify hello.jsp in /WEB_INF folder.
