What do you mean by handlers?

Hi bill,

I mean org.springframework.web.servlet.handler which are there in spring MVC also spring has AOP. I am curious to know which is good to use where there is similar task like logging or sending email after the request been completed.

There are HandlerMappings and HandlerAdapters. They are not all in the org.springframework.web.servlet.handler package. Are you asking what HandlerMappings and HandlerAdapters do? I do not quite understand how AOP plays into your question. If you want to create pointcuts to apply advice which send emails or log you can use AOP for that I just don't understand what it has to do with the handlers.
