Spring Interceptors

If you are using annotated Spring controllers, the only change that you need to do to the previous interceptor example is the configuration. In the Spring bean configuration file instead of using BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping or any other handler mapping use DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping. The configuration file is shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
	xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
	http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
	
	<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view. InternalResourceViewResolver" p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/" p:suffix=".jsp" />
    
    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation. DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping" p:interceptors-ref="loggerInterceptor" />
	      
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.vaannila.web" />
    
    <bean id="loggerInterceptor" class="com.vaannila.interceptor.LoggerInterceptor" />
    
    <bean id="userService" class="com.vaannila.service.UserServiceImpl" />
		
</beans>
