In this tutorial you will learn about the Spring MVC XmlViewResolver
In this tutorial you will learn about the Spring MVC XmlViewResolverThe org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver allows you to use apache velocity as a view. To use velocity as view you need to first add the VelocityConfigurer as
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer"> <property name="resourceLoaderPath"> <value>/</value> </property> </bean>
And then add the mapping for VelocityViewResolver
<bean id="velocityViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver"> <property name="prefix"> <value>/WEB-INF/views/</value> </property> <property name="suffix"> <value>.vm</value> </property> </bean>
The following is the complete dispatcher-servlet.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"> <context:component-scan base-package="roseindia.net.controller" /> <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityConfigurer"> <property name="resourceLoaderPath"> <value>/</value> </property> </bean> <bean id="velocityViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.velocity.VelocityViewResolver"> <property name="prefix"> <value>/WEB-INF/views/</value> </property> <property name="suffix"> <value>.vm</value> </property> </bean> </beans>
Controller class for the above application is
package roseindia.net.controller; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; @Controller public class AppController { @RequestMapping("/load-view") public String loadView() { return "hello"; } }
The velocity view is as follows
<html> <body> #set( $foo = "Velocity" ) Hello $foo World! </body> <html>
