Problems with SimpleUrlMapping

[andygrove]

Hi,

I've just put together my first Spring Web app and although it is all working fine I want to change some of the URLs. At the moment I am using "*.do" to represent actions and "*.htm" to represent static pages e.g.

<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.Sim pleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/cart.do">addToCart</prop>
<prop key="/products.htm">products</prop>

However, rather than using a URL like "/products.htm" for my products page I want to use the URL "/products/" as I would normally use if it were a true static page on Apache (obviously this would default to an index.html on the server but the user would not see the name of the page).

Will Spring support using URLs in this way? Do I need to write a custom Handler?

Thanks,

Andy.

Yes it will.

Have a look at BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping for a more convenient implementation BTW

Anyways, you would change your mapping to "/products" or "/products/*".

HTH.
