Example : MultiActionController in Spring

1> Controller Contains

public class testController extends MultiActionController {

public ModelAndView action_name1(HttpServletRequest          httpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {

System.out.println(“In Action1″);
return new ModelAndView(“view1″, “date”,”date”);

}

public ModelAndView action_name2(HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse) {

System.out.println(“In Action 2″);
return new ModelAndView(“view2″, “date”,”date”);

}

}

2> View contains

<a href=”test.htm?action=action_name1″ >Go to Action1 </a> |
<a href=”test.htm?action=action_name2″ >Go to Action2 </a>

3> Change in Application-servlet.xml

<bean name=”/test.htm” class=”testController”>
<property name=”methodNameResolver”>
<ref bean=”paramResolver”/>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id=”paramResolver” class=”org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.ParameterMethodNameResolver”>
<property name=”paramName”><value>action</value></property>
</bean>

Simple Way:

1> Controller Contains

same as above

2> View contains

<a href=”test.htm/action_name1″ >Go to Action1 </a> |
<a href=”test.htm/action_name2″ >Go to Action2 </a>

3> Change in Application-servlet.xml

No need to add anything
