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...

Suppose that I have an email field annotated with:
@NotEmpty(message="Please enter email address")
...
Bean validation will trigger two errors when no email address is entered:
the email field is empty
an empty email field is not a valid email address
Displaying both errors to the user with <form:errors> would be redundant and confusing:
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tag...
This is how to display the first error only:
<spring:bind path="emailAddress">
<c:if test="$...

Some example snippets for Spring message configuration and usage.
To configure a message source in Spring context (basename=messages):
<bean id="messageSource"

Locale change interceptor can also be setup with:

The messages file should be named messages.properties (or messages_en.properties , etc.) and located on CLASSPATH , for example: WEB-INF/classes .
To use a message resource in JSP:
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springf...

When you insert an attribute in JSP:
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles...
you must define the attribute in tiles definitions:
<definition name="/home" template="/WEB-INF/templa...
Otherwise you'll get runtime exception.
The ignore attribute, which defaults to false , will suppress the runtime exception when the attribute is not defined in tiles definition:
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles...

This example came from the jQuery validation documentation. The required rule can be used to validate a required selection box when you set the value of the first option to empty.
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

The error message is the title since no error message is specified. A more fully defined validation check would look like this:
$('#my-form').validate({
errorElement: "p",

This is a simple Hello World application with Spring 3 MVC. Like the default Apache HTTPd welcome page, it displays " It works! " when successfully deployed. The sole purpose is to show the minimum elements needed to setup Spring 3 MVC.
I use Maven since it's so much easier than downloading the dependencies manually.
Directory layout:
./src
./src/main
./src/main/webapp
./src/...
pom.xml :

WEB-INF/web.xml :

Build with:
