how can generate view without controller in spring

[Nuri Jain]

Hello,

As in struts we can display jsp page without going to action class ,for example in struts I have
url http://localhost:7001/testapplication/info.do
As I click on this url the request goes to struts-config.xml
where it found <action path="/info" forward="/information.jsp"/> then it display information.jsp in response,
but in spring for each request it goes through with controller then it controller returns corresponding view. I have some simple information jsp , how can i avoid controller part.how i can display jsp directly ?
Please help me , i need it urgently.

Thanks in advance

You can use the ParameterizableViewController, which redirects the request to the view set in the "viewName" attribute. Let's assume you are using a BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping.

<bean id="jspViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
  <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
  <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
  <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
 
<bean name="/hello.do" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController">
    <property name="viewName" value="hello"/>
</bean>

This will redirect "/hello.do" to "WEB-INF/jsp/hello.jsp".

Thanks for your reply ,its working fine I am able to get simple jsp page without calling any controller.
but the next problem comes if I want to submit that jsp page .
Actually my concern was like , i want to generate a login page without calling any controller. once user fill username and password then i want to submit that page with userid and pwd value(as i did in struts)

If i use SimpleUrlHandlerMapping then it calls controller 2 time
1.befor formview generation
2.after jsp submit

Please let me know if there is any way in spring

Thanks in advance

What did you set the form's action to ?
