Spring MVC Multiple Controller Example

In Spring MVC, we can create multiple controllers at a time. It is required to map each controller class with @Controller annotation. Here, we see a Spring MVC example of multiple controllers. The steps are as follows:

• Load the spring jar files or add dependencies in the case of Maven
• Create the controller class
• Provide the entry of controller in the web.xml file
• Define the bean in the separate XML file
• Create the other view components
• Start the server and deploy the project

HelloController1.java

HelloController2.java

4. Provide the entry of controller in the web.xml file

web.xml

spring-servlet.xml

6. Create the other view components

viewpage1.jsp

viewpage1.jsp
