Is it possible to extend WebMvcConfigurationSupport and use WebMvcAutoConfiguration?

Question

I need to extend the WebMvcConfigurationSupport class too modify two things:

@Configuration
public class WebConfig e         


        

Answer 1

I managed to customize the RequestMappingHandlerMapping while keeping WebMvcAutoConfiguration using a BeanPostProcessor:

@Configuration
public class RequestMappingConfiguration {
    @Bean
    public RequestMappingHandlerMappingPostProcessor requestMappingHandlerMappingPostProcessor() {
        return new RequestMappingHandlerMappingPostProcessor();
    }

    public static class RequestMappingHandlerMappingPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {

        @Override
        public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
            if (bean instanceof RequestMappingHandlerMapping) {
                ((RequestMappingHandlerMapping) bean).setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
            }
            return bean;
        }

        @Override
        public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
            return bean;
        }
    }
}

I would be happy if Spring Boot provides a better way to handle that... maybe something could be done around PathMatchConfigurer ?
