Spring MVC Java Configuration Example

This tutorial shows how to build a basic Spring MVC Web Application. We start by defining the project structure. Next, we add the project’s dependencies via Apache Maven. Then we create a simple controller using the @Controller annotation which we configure with Spring MVC Java Configuration. Afterwards, we configure the servlet environment using java configuration. This means that we are completely removing the web.xml file. Finally, we build a simple view, topped of with a simple demo.

In this tutorial we show a Spring MVC RSS ATOM Content Negotiation example. Using Content Negotiation we can serve different versions of a document (or resource) at the same URI. Depending on the HTTP Accept header, a path file extension in the URL, a specific request parameter we return a view accordingly or if none of the previous are presented, we fall back on a default view.

In this tutorial we demonstrate how to create an Excel view using Spring MVC. By utilizing Spring MVC Content negotiation we can have multiple views of the same resource. This example shows how to create an excel view, either in .xls and .xlsx format. When working with large excel documents it is profitable to use the streaming xlsx view. The streaming view uses less memory and can improve performance of large excel documents.

In this tutorial we show you how to build a RESTFul Web Service using Spring MVC 4. We create a controller that’ll manage CRUD operations like Create, Read, Update and Delete using the correct HTTP request methods POST, GET, PUT and DELETE respectively. This rest service consumes and produces JSON – JavaScript Object Notation. We enable Cross-origin Resource Sharing by implementing a custom filter to set the correct headers. To evaluate the rest service, we are using a chrome extension named postman.
