How can I create a URL based on controller and action method in Spring MVC?

Question

I am using Spring MVC 3.0

I have a guestbook.jsp page where I want to create a link that points to GuestBookController\'s login method.

This is a simple task

The short answer is no, you can't do this with Spring MVC currently.

It's a shame because you can do this in other frameworks including Grails (which uses Spring MVC under the hood).

See the discussion here which includes a link to a Spring feature request to add this (vote for it!)
