Difference between WebMvcConfigurationSupport and WebMvcConfigurerAdapter

Question

I would like to add resource handlers. In the forum they use WebMvcConfigurationSupport: http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?116068-How-to-configure-lt

Answer 1

The answer is in the doc you referenced above:

If the customization options of WebMvcConfigurer do not expose something you need to configure, consider removing the @EnableWebMvc annotation and extending directly from WebMvcConfigurationSupport overriding selected @Bean methods

In short, if @EnableWebMvc works for you, there is no need to look any further.
