A simple ForwardAction equivalent in Spring MVC

[geekinfo]

I'm a new to Spring MVC & I'm trying to figure a way to forward a request URI to a JSP. This is somewhat an equivalent of...

<action path="/flush"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="/WEB-INF/pages/flush.jsp"
roles="admin"/>

...in Struts. Is it possible to do this using plain configuration or is it mandatory that I implement the Controller interface (or the AbstractController class) to achieve this? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

you could use the ParameterizableViewController for view only redirections. It can be configured as follows

<bean id="aboutController"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Paramet erizableViewController">
<property name="viewName" value="view" />
</bean>

Thanks a lot for the update. Not to be picky, but I assume this is what you meant:

bean id="aboutController" - I suppose any name should be fine
property name="viewName" value="<actual view page like login.jsp>"

I'm assuming that somehow "viewName" is an internal property of the ParameterizableViewController class which is recognized and translated to fwd to the specified value <JSP>.

Thanks again.

Thanks again. Got this working. Instead of a bean id, I provided a bean name="<URI>" & it works. Something like-

<bean name="/login.app" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Paramet erizableViewController">
<property name="viewName" value="login" />
</bean>
