Exclude Spring MVC controller from being intercepted

[M Givney]

Hi Folks,

I am stuck trying to figure out how to exclude a single controller from being intercepted by my HandlerInterceptors

The basic idea is, I am using Spring MVC with annotated controllers. For these controllers I have a handful of HandlerInterceptors that do various things, one of which we use to check if the User object is in the session. For this app, I want all the interceptors in my configuration to be intercepted by all HandlerInterceptors EXCEPT HomeController. For HomeController, I want all interceptors EXCEPT AuthInterceptor.

My current configuration is:
Spring MVC 3.0
Java 1.6
tc Server developers edition

  
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<context:component-scan base-package="com.summit.controller" />
<mvc:interceptors>
   <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor" />
   <bean class="com.summit.controller.MdcInterceptor" />
   <bean class="com.summit.controller.AuthInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptors>

I am sure I am not the only one who has run into this issue, but an hour of googling later, still no luck.

Anyone run into this and figured out a solution?

The only solution I can think of , and admittedly it may make you want to barf, is to move your HomeController into a different package, say com.summit.Security, and link just the Local and Mdc controllers to that package.

Otherwise I have not seen an 'except this' syntax for mappings.

Sorry.
