<!-- HANDLER MAPPING RULES -->
<!-- Maps requests to @Controllers based on @RequestMapping("path") annotation values
If no annotation-based path mapping is found, Spring MVC proceeds to the next HandlerMapping (order=2 below). -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
<property name="order" value="1" />
</bean>
<!-- Maps requests to @Controllers based on controller class name convention; e.g. a request for /hotels or a /hotels sub-resource maps to HotelsController
If no class mapping is found, Spring MVC sends a 404 response and logs a pageNotFound warning. -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping">
<property name="order" value="2" />
</bean>
<!-- REGISTERED HANDLER TYPES -->
<!-- Enables annotated @Controllers; responsible for invoking an annotated POJO @Controller when one is mapped. -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter" />
<!-- VIEW RESOLUTION AND RENDERING -->
<!-- Resolves view names to protected .jsp resources within the /WEB-INF directory -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
