The default servlet for Tomcat is declared in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/web.xml :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servle...
Therefore, static content is rendered by the default configuration unless you override it with your own definitions.
If you want to allow directory listing, just change the listing parameter to true :
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</para...
Change the welcome-file-list to display a default page in lieu of a directory listing:
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>home.xhtml</...
Welcome pages are defined at the Web application level.

The HandlerMapping bean for @RequestMapping annotated @Controller is:
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping for Spring MVC prior to 3.1
org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping for Spring MVC 3.1
This info might be handy if you want to add an interceptor:
<beans>
<bean id="handlerMapping"

1. mvc:default-servlet-handler Configures a handler for serving static resources by forwarding to the Servlet container's default Servlet. Use of this handler allows using a "/" mapping with the DispatcherServlet while still utilizing the Servlet container to serve static resources. HandlerMapping: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Handler: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Attribute Description default-servlet-name The name of the default Servlet to forward to for static resource requests. The handler will try to auto-detect the container's default Servlet at startup time using a list of known names. If the default Servlet cannot be detected because of using an unknown container or because it has been manually configured, the servlet name must be set explicitly. 2. mvc:view-controller Defines a simple Controller that selects a view to render the response. HandlerMapping: org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping Handler: org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController Attribute Description...

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...

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...
