• In MVC-Controller3 example as you can see we have not created any Controller class, here we use UrlFilenameViewController in xml file and use name attribute in bean tag. So based on the suffix and action it will view page. Example: if uri is success.code then it will open success.jsp.

Create Java Web Project

• Open Eclipse
• Go to File -> New -> Dynamic Web Project
• Create MVC-Controller3 project
• Right click on project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Libraries tab -> Add External JARs (Used 2.X jars)
  - commons-logging-X.X.jar
  - spring-beans-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-context-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-core-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-web-X.X.X.jar
  - spring-webmvc-X.X.X.jar
• Also, add these jars in WEB-INF/lib folder for runtime.
• * You can find dtd information from spring-beans-X.X.X.jar -> org -> springframework -> beans -> factory -> xml -> spring-beans.dtd (line no 36 & 37)
