H3AR7B3A7 / SpringServletStackXml

Further exploration of the Spring servlet stack, using XML-based configuration.

Spring Web Application (XML-config version)

What we did so far:

• Configured our dispatcher servlet
• Implemented simple custom error-page
• Added view-resolver
• Made simple get and post requests
• Added static resource handling (css)
• Added Internationalization (2 resource bundles)
• Added a way to upload a file to the server
  • We will maybe use a db to upload to later (We already know how to implement databases properly from previous projects)
  • The service for this can be easily switched out
• Added an example of method validation on file name in 'FileUploadController'
• Added a Employee form (Spring form) with:
  • Validation using a model & BindingResult
• Quick mongo implementation to show employees inserted by this form
  • We will add proper dao for mongo and mySQL later
• Added birth form with:
  • A Custom validator
  • Type conversions using PropertyEditorSupport
    (For other option: Converter, see this)
• Using multiple contexts (Added 'my-beans')
• Comparing scopes: request / session (we did something similar for 'singleton' and 'session' in a previous project)
• Page redirection with flash attributes, comparing 'old' and 'new'
  • With RedirectView
  • With ModelAndView
