Not much time for blogging these days. Sunny days in the 70s. Low humidity. Mountain bike trails are dry and worn hard. First time in a week I've found the time to blog. The Pinkie is taking a long nap and I just read excerpt from a new book on Spring on The Server Side, so I made enough progress on my New Book, New Directions theme to blog about it.

Spring has a multiple-view concept built into the framework. I defined a simple web page called login.htm virtually and never created an actual page. I created a mapping to the controller in your servlet definition file like so:

      <bean id="urlMapping" 
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="interceptors">
          <list>
            <ref local="localeChangeInterceptor"/>
            <ref local="themeChangeInterceptor"/>
            <ref local="copyInterceptor"/>
          </list>
        </property>
        <property name="mappings">
          <props>
            <prop key="/login.htm">myAppController</prop>
    			</props>
        </property>
      </bean>
    

      <bean id="myAppMethodNameResolver"  
     
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.PropertiesMethodNameResolver">
        <property name="mappings">
          <props>
            <prop key="/login.htm">handleLogin</prop>
          </props>
        </property>
      </bean>
