Spring MVC 3.1 can send either JSON or HTML response on the same URL, depending on the type of response requested. With this mechanism, a page can be sent when directly requested from a link, but a JSON response can be sent in response to an AJAX request. This is the controller code:
package com.example; import java.util.Map; ... In the above example, JSON response will be sent when the HTTP request contains header "Accept: application/json". HTML response will be sent then the header is "Accept: */*", or "Accept: text/html", or anything else. You can add a limitation that the HTML response does not produce "application/json". But then the question is which response will be sent when the HTTP header is "Accept: */*"? Both methods will...

After a user resets a password, I want to force the user to change the password before she gets access to secured content. This is usually done with a servlet filter. But with Spring MVC, you can also use a HandlerInterceptor . According to Spring JavaDoc: HandlerInterceptor is basically similar to a Servlet 2.3 Filter, but in contrast to the latter it just allows custom pre-processing with the option of prohibiting the execution of the handler itself, and custom post-processing. Filters are more powerful, for example they allow for exchanging the request and response objects that are handed down the chain. Note that a filter gets configured in web.xml, a HandlerInterceptor in the application context. As a basic guideline, fine-grained handler-related preprocessing tasks are candidates...

In the bean validation API javadoc, for every constraint annotation, there's a corresponding .List annotation. For example, for @NotNull , there's @NotNull.List , for which JavaDoc says: Defines several @NotNull annotations on the same element What would you accomplish with multiple @NotNull annotations that you cannot accomplish with one @NotNull ? This is a test to reveal some of the facts. Change the Person class to:
package com.example; public class Person { ... Add another JUnit test ( src/test/com/example/TestPersonWithList.java ): package com.example; import java.util.Itera... As the test shows, a Person bean can never be valid because we are requiring that name must begin with Mr and Ms . One might think that the same can be accomplished by simply repeating the @Pattern annotation multiple times,...

Validation groups can be used to control which rules validation rules to run. A validation group can be identified by any Java interface (not class!). Multiple validation groups may be specified when validating.
In this example, I added a validation group named MyValidationGroup ( src/main/java/com/example/MyValidationGroup.java in Maven project):
package com.example;
public interface MyVal...
and added a @Size rule for a person's name, because my database can only store up to 15 characters for a person's name:
package com.example;
import javax.validatio...
Now validate Person with a JUnit test ( src/test/java/com/example/TestPersonWithGroup.java in Maven project):
package com.example;
import java.util.Set;
...
Test with " mvn clean test ". The rules where groups is not specified, which belong to the javax.validation.groups.Default group, are not executed with these tests.
