Important Intefaces

Step 1:

Spring 3.0 MVC Configuration

Configure the web.xml with DispatcherServlet and details of the application context file location.
<servlet> <servlet-name>spring3</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>spring3</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>

Step 2: Configure the contextConfigLocation for the application context to be loaded
<context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring3-service.xml</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener </listener-class> </listener>
