mvc namespace should support adding HandlerInterceptors [SPR-6352]

[spring-projects-issues]

Scott Andrews opened SPR-6352 and commented

The mvc namespace currently configures the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping, but does not provide a way to register handler interceptors.

This functionality could be something like:

mvc:annotation-driven
mvc:interceptors
<bean class="com.example.MyHandlerInterceptorAdaptor1" />
<bean ref="interceptor2" />
...
</mvc:interceptors>
</mvc:annotation-driven>

Affects: 3.0 RC2

Indeed, the ability to register listeners would be great. Also we would also like to be able to register a default handler:

<mvc:annotation-driven>
   <mvc:interceptors>
      <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor" p:paramName="lang"/>
      <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.ThemeChangeInterceptor" p:paramName="theme"/>
   </mvc:interceptors>
   <mvc:default-handler>
      <!-- If no @Controller match, map path to a view to render; e.g. the "/index" path would map to the view named "index" -->
      <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.UrlFilenameViewController"/>
   </mvc:default-handler>
</mvc:annotation-driven>
