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...

These bean types are essential for the Spring MVC framework. I copied them here from the Spring Documentation for quick reference. Bean type Explanation HandlerMapping Maps incoming requests to handlers and a list of pre- and post-processors (handler interceptors) based on some criteria the details of which vary by HandlerMapping implementation. The most popular implementation supports annotated controllers but other implementations exists as well. HandlerAdapter Helps the DispatcherServlet to invoke a handler mapped to a request regardless of the handler is actually invoked. For example, invoking an annotated controller requires resolving various annotations. Thus the main purpose of a HandlerAdapter is to shield the DispatcherServlet from such details. HandlerExceptionResolver Maps exceptions to views also allowing for more complex exception handling code. ViewResolver Resolves logical String-based...

You can customize Tomcat error page with error code:
<error-page>
<error-code>404</error-code>
...
or Java exception type:
<error-page>
<exception-type>java.lang.Throwab...
Either error-code or exception-type is required, but not both. There's no way to aggregate error codes, such as:
<!-- This does not work! -->
<error-page>
...
Customizing error pages is about the only way to suppress the default stack trace in Tomcat in case of an unhandled exception.

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(

Because Maven dependencies are transitive, the same artifact may be brought in with different version numbers by multiple other dependencies. For example, the current project may depend on artifact A, which in turn depends on artifact C version 1. It may also have immediate dependency on artifact B, which in turn depends on artifact C version 2. Maven resolves these version conflicts in the following ways: Dependency Mediation : If a specific version is not declared in your project POM, Maven resolves the version number by nearest definition , which means it will use the closest dependency in the tree of dependencies for the current project. When dependency depth is the same, it will pick the one that appeared in the POM first. Dependency Management...

You can submit a form via Ajax by the jQuery Form Plugin . There are two main methods:
ajaxForm : prepares a form for Ajax submit.
Example:
$('#myFormId').ajaxForm({
target: ...
When the form is submitted, it is sent via Ajax.
ajaxSubmit : submit a form via Ajax.
Example:
$('#myForm2').submit(function() {
