How to handle HTTP OPTIONS with Spring MVC?

Question

I\'d like to intercept the OPTIONS request with my controller using Spring MVC, but it is catched by the DispatcherServlet. How can I manage that?

Answer 1

For Spring without web.xml file, and based on Paul Adamson answer, I just set the parameter dispatchOptionsRequest to true into the dispatcher, to process the Options method calls.

ServletRegistration.Dynamic dispatcher = container.addServlet("dispatcher", new        DispatcherServlet(applicationContext));

dispatcher.setInitParameter("dispatchOptionsRequest", "true");                

dispatcher.setLoadOnStartup(1);
dispatcher.addMapping("/*");
