It's normal practice to import types from an external xsd file in WSDL like this: <wsdl:types> <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="htt... When you use <dynamic-wsdl> and have Commons XMLSchema on the class path, Spring-WS inlines the xsd in the wsdl. But that doesn't happen when you use <static-wsdl> . You can define a SimpleXsdSchema bean to expose the xsd: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans x... where the bean id "hello" should match the schemaLocation attribute in the WSDL (without the .xsd suffix). But note that the SimpleXsdSchema does not inline the xsd. It only makes the xsd available via an HTTP URL. Alternatively, you can simply put the xsd file under the content directory of the webapp (just link any CSS or JavaScript). Anyway, that's a lot of manual...

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...

Mapping Java objects to Jackson JSON is pretty simple. But if you name a JSON field wrong, you'll get the "Unrecognized field ... (Class ...), not marked as ignorable" error. The rule for mapping a Java bean attribute name to a JSON field name is: lower all leading capital letters until the first lower case letter . For example, this Java class: package com.example; public class Person { ... maps to this JSON string: { "firstName": "Jane", "lastName": "... Test code: package com.example; import java.net.URL; ...

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.

In the simple taglib example , I used a tag handler class to implement a taglib. This is an example to implement a taglib with a UI component. The purpose is to use a custom tag to split a string and print each part in a separate paragraph, i.e., print <p>john</p> <p>steve</p> <p>mike</p> with custom tag <my:foreach> : <my:foreach var="who" value="john steve mike"> ...
