Printable View
hai friends
i want to organise the jsp file in different folders based on its functionality.I the example i found that there is only one is viewResolver where we set the path of the jsp.Can map many path/different locations of jsp files.
Help pls.
Thanks(Have a nice day)

Just make your own. I have a BasicViewController that does exactly what you need. If you have a view of /secure/product/addProduct.html if will load a JSP from /secure/product/addProduct.jsp

There's a lot of extra stuff in the AbstractViewController that you probably don't want, but I'm sure you can work out what you need.Code:/*

hai bob
thanks 4 u r kind reply.U are saying that the only way to have many jsp source(form different folders) is to using the code given below.Is there no way that 1/2 viewResolver cannot be used in applicationCOntext.xml.Can't we configure this in applicationContext.xml file.
Thanks(Have a nice day)
Aniesh U.k
I think you can only have one view resolver configured (though I may be wrong). Besides, the resolver is not where your problem lies...
I got the impression from your first post that you're using the UrlFilenameViewController to subclass your views from. If you look in the code for that file you'll see the getFilenameFromRequestURI method which is what translates your view names to JSPs. You'll see that it strips the whole path from the view which is why you can only have one directory with JSPs if you then use the JstlView view resolver.
All I've done is basically ignore the UrlFilenameViewController and create my own base view controller which does what I want. Compare the difference between the getViewFromURI method in my code and the getFilenameFromRequestURI method I mentioned above and you'll see what I'm doing differently. You can then implement this in your own base view controller and make all your views extend that.
Bob
To be clear, you can have as many view resolvers in a context as you want. By default, they will all be discovered, and they will be ordered (using the Ordered interface).
The trick, however, is that InternalResourceViewResolver can be at the end of the chain ONLY. It's not able to simply say "Nope, i don't have what you're looking for, please keep trying".
Hai senthladd
Thanks for u r reply.I InternalViewResolver there is a property called <prefix> which maps to the path of the jsp files.I need to have 2/3 prefix i,e i want to jsp files from different location.Is it possible or have 2 InternalResourceViewResolver.
Thanks for all for the great support
Aniesh U.k
no, you can only have one InternalResourceViewResolver. If you want multiple directories, set the prefix to the common root directory ann include the variable parts in the view name.
ie: prefix = WEB-INF/jsp
view = dir1/hello (maps to WEB-INF/jsp/dir1/hello.jsp)
view = dir2/search (maps to WEB-INF/jsp/dir2/search.jsp)
Regards,
Hai all
Thanks all for the reply.I was expection this.It should be like this right
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.Intern alResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass"><value>org.springframework.web.se rvlet.view.JstlView</value></property>
<property name="prefix"><value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value></property>
<property name="suffix"><value>.jsp</value></property>
<property name="view"><value>dir1/hello ></value></property>
<property name="view"><value> dir2/search ></value></property>
</bean>
Correct me if it is wrong
Thanks all
Aniesh U.K
seriously, I think you need to have a read through the reference docs and the introductory material available from the main Spring site. Your post demonstrates a lack of understanding of some of the very basic concepts and in all fairness, you can't expect people to continue investing that level of assistance if you haven't made a genuine effort yourself.
Did you actually try that example code before you posted it? If so, what happened? If it didn't work, what was the error and how did you go about trying to track it down? That's pretty much the minimum you should be doing before posting.
The "view" I talked about in my previous post relates to the ModelAndView, not the ViewResolver.
Kind regards,
Hai davison
THanks for u r suggestion.As u suggested i will take all my effort.Thanks for correcting me(my approach was wrong).Thanks a lot.
