how to use "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBund leViewResolver"?

Take a look at countries sample from Spring distribution.

And I want to know whether the "views.properties" must be in "/WEB-INF/classes/"?

views.properties is looked for in the class apth.

it can be put another location ?

You can put it in a package inside your class path.

and how can I configurate it ?

	<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver">
		<property name="basename"><value>org/mycompany/demo/views</value></property>
		<property name="defaultParentView"><value>modelView</value></property>
	</bean>

no, because then it won't be in the classpath as Omar already explained. WEB-INF/classes and any jar file in WEB-INF/lib is automatically added to the classpath by the servlet container. This is standard Java and servlet API semantics.

If you are averse to storing your config file in the classpath, consider using XmlViewResolver - you can store the file anywhere you like.

<bean 
  id="viewResolver" 
  class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver">
  <property name="location">
    <value>/WEB-INF/views.xml</value>
  </property>
</bean>

thanks davison.
but I can't find the views.xml in spring samples, and I google it ,but no result. how can I configurate the views.xml ?

[davison]

the file uses the same syntax as other Spring XML config files so you can reuse your knowledge.

<bean
  id="someView" 
  class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityView">    	
  <property name="url"><value>sometemplate.vm</value></property> 
</bean>
