Spring: ResourceBundleViewResolver

When using ResourceBundleViewResolver, applicationContext.xml will contain following configuration.

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

The “basename” property is used to tell ResourceBundleViewResolver how to construct
the names of the properties files that contain View definitions.

Sample views.properties file will look like as follows; It should reside in the classes folder of the server(..\WEB-INF\classes\).

pdfView.class=com.springinaction.training.mvc.BookListPdfView

home.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
home.url=/WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp
listBooks.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
listBooks.url=/WEB-INF/jsp/listBooks.jsp
bookdetail.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView
bookdetail.url=/WEB-INF/jsp/bookdetail.jsp

Spring Controller interface

Simple Controller (HomeController.java)

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller;

public class HomeController implements Controller {
public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
return new ModelAndView("home", "message", greeting);
}
private String greeting;
public void setGreeting(String greeting) {
this.greeting = greeting;
}
}

applicationContext.xml should include :

<bean name="homeControler" class="com.springinaction.training.mvc.HomeController">
<property name="greeting">
<value>Welcome to Book Store!</value>
</property>
</bean>

Also the view resolver and url mapping should be specified in this xml file.

You can access the message variable in home.jsp as :

${message}
