Intercept the view/response in Spring MVC 3

Question

I am new to Spring MVC 3 and I understand the basic concepts. I am able to do simple things like create controllers and services and views. However, I haven\'t made a foray

Answer 1

Yes, a number of ways actually:

• spring mvc interceptors (search for them in the mvc docs) - you can define the preHandle / postHandle methods and apply the interceptor to a number of controllers
• spring aop - define an aspect to be executed before/after the methods of a given controller
• servlet filters - this is the least desirable option, since it is not integrated with spring - you can't inject dependencies.
