interceptor on a single handler mapping

[willix]

Hi,

I've got a web context with an <mvc:annotation-driven /> tag to setup RequestMappingHandlerMapping for simple annotated controllers and a org.springframework.webflow.mvc.servlet.FlowHandle rMapping for a web flow.
I'm trying to setup an interceptor (OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor) to apply to my simple annotated controllers but not to my web flow.
I've tried to use <mvc:interceptors ...> but that registers my interceptor on both mappings. How can I set it up only on my RequestMappingHandlerMapping?

I know I can filter my interceptors on request path, but that's not what I want, I just want the interceptor to apply to one mapping and not the other.

Thanks

The only way to do that is to do manual configuration of the HandlerMapping and register the interceptors yourself, at least if url mapping isn't sufficient.

OK, so what is the exact translation of <mvc:annotation-driven />?
In other words, if I remove <mvc:annotation-driven /> from my context, what beans should I define instead?

That depends on what you use/configure. You need at least the RequestMappingHandlerMapping/-HandlerAdapter...

[willix]

That depends???

My question is what would I need to manually define to have an exact same context as this one without using the mvc:annotation-driven tag?

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" 
           xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"	
	   xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd 
           http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.1.xsd">

	<mvc:annotation-driven  />
</beans>

Yes it depends.. It depends how you have configured annotation-driven, do you use it to serve static instances, do you have/use JSR-303 validation, do you use JSON/XML etc. So yes it depends, it depends on your settings and available jars!

If you want the exact thing take a look at the source code for AnnotationDrivenBeanDefinitionParser (in the org.springframework.web.servlet.config) to know what you need depeding on YOUR environment.

And as already mentioned in the previous post at a minimum you need the RequestMappingHandlerMapping/-HandlerAdapter.
