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...

This is a bare bones Maven project to get started with Java JSR 303 bean validation.
Directory structure:

pom.xml :
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"...
which includes dependencies on JUnit, Java bean validation API and the Hibernate validator reference implementation.

Thanks Dr.Xi, I was having a tough time changing the deployment context path of my web-app using the
so-called context.xml file under /META-INF, it dint work (tomcat documentation at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html , seemed pretty sure it would :()
But I have one question, as changing server.xml is too instrusive for every web-app you build, is there any other way of pushing this configuration to one of the application specific files ?
thanks,
Venky

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

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...

Tomcat gzip compression filter can be turned on with " compression=on " in server.xml :
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
...
The default compressed MIME types are: text/html,text/xml,text/plain .
It would be nice to add other types:
<Connector
port="8080"

The annotation @org.hibernate.annotations.Type overrides the default hibernate mapping type used for a column. This can usually be omitted since Hibernate normaly infers the correct type to use.
But @Type is required in ambiguous scenarios such as a java.util.Date attribute, which can map to SQL DATE , TIME or TIMESTAMP . You use the @Type("timestamp") annotation to tell Hibernate that a timestamp converter should be used, which identifies an instance of org.hibernate.type.TimestampType .
@Type can also be used to identify custom type converters, which can be defined with @TypeDef at the class level:
@TypeDefs(
{
@TypeDef(

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 :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project...
WEB-INF/web.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml (empty, but needed):

WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans x...
WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

Build with:
mvn clean package
The resulting webapp is target/springmvc.war .
