Description : In this post we are sharing only source code for java spring application, For theoretical note you can refer this site I could nt provide a better description on java spring than this. Please note the deployment descriptor (web.xml) where we had provide the name index.jsp as our welcome file.

JSTL (Java Standard Tag Library) : Expression Language ( EL) makes it possible to easy access application data stored in java bean.
Format : ${expression}
hello.jsp
<html><head> <title> This is my First application in Java Spring MVC </title></head>
<body> ${message} </body>
</html>
What and Why annotation in java ?
Annotation allows implemented class to be auto-detected during class path spanning.
format : @component
RequestMapping is most used annotation method in java spring. It is used to map web request to a specific handler method. Here ModelAndViewHelloWorld Method. This concept is similar to java jsp servlets
Controller it indicates that the annotated class is a controller i e a web controller.
HelloworldController.java
package net.cfed.oms.controller;import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HelloWorldController {
@RequestMapping("/hello")
public ModelAndView helloWorld() {
String message = "Hello, This is my first sample spring MVC project !";
System.out.println(message);
return new ModelAndView("hello", "message", message);
}
}
Project structure
Once you configured java spring, you can easily work on the business logic of your application.
