how to configure spring MVC - view resolver to get .manifest for HTML 5 offline cache

Hello,

I am trying to HTML 5 offline caching with spring. But i am not getting success for resolve the .manifiest file URL.

I used below resolver to try to get but didnt get success.

Code:

<bean id="viewres3" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"> <property name="prefix"> <value>/WEB-INF/views/mb/</value> </property> <property name="suffix"> <value>.manifest</value> </property> <property name="order"><value>1</value></property> </bean>

In web.xml also i have added the manifest mime mapping

Code:

<mime-mapping> <extension>manifest</extension> <mime-type>text/cache-manifest</mime-type> </mime-mapping>

below is web controller request mapping method which try to resolve

Code:

@RequestMapping("/offm") public String offMainifest() { return "/mob/offui"; }

Below code HTML 5 snippet. in html tag there attribute is namely "manifest" which requires .manifest file path as value.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en" manifest="offui.manifest"> // your html document </html>

Please help me if somebody knows then for how to resolve .manifest file view?

Because for HTML 5 offline caching i must require . manifest file.

Regards
Abhijit.

I have solved this issue.

Add new mime type in web.xml

<mime-mapping>
<extension>manifest</extension>
<mime-type>text/cache-manifest</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

Web controller method request mapping updates as per below

@RequestMapping(value = "/offm.appcache", produces = "text/cache-manifest")
public String offMainifest() {

StringBuilder strManiFstBuilder = new StringBuilder();
strManiFstBuilder.append("CACHE MANIFEST");

strManiFstBuilder.append(Your all other includes add here);

return strManiFstBuilder.toString();

}

Its works for me.

Thanks.

with your first approach add that in your dispatcher servlet :

<resources mapping="/WEB-INF/views/mb/**" location="/WEB-INF/views/mb/".

and it should works.
