BeanNameViewResolver
As described in the documentation, BeanNameViewResolver
resolves View
s declared as beans. Usually you need it for some
special-purpose views.Imagine, for example, that one of your controllers should render an Excel spreadsheet. So, you
subclass AbstractExcelView
and implement your custom logic to render a spreadsheet based on model values:
public class MyExcelView extends AbstractExcelView { ... }
and declare it as a bean:
<bean id = "myExcelView" class = "MyExcelView" />
Then declaring an BeanNameViewResolver
makes it available to controllers: when controller returns ModelAndView
with view
name myExcelView
, your spreadsheet will be rendered.
BeanNameViewResolver
is usually used in conjunction with some other view resolver that handles "regular" views (so that
if BeanNameViewResolver
can't find a view, the other resolver tries to find it):
<bean class = "...BeanNameViewResolver">
<property name = "order" value = "0" />
</bean>
<bean class = "...InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name = "order" value = "1" />
...
</bean>
