I have a j2ee application developed using spring framework and spring webflow. Currently all of my url requests go through the Web Flow. What I want is to be able to choose whether to direct it to Web Flow or an ordinary spring mvc controller. I have no idea how to direct it to custom controllers. How do I do this?
I tried having this in my web.xml but i can't direct it to the bean controller specified in mytest2-servlet.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mytest</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mytest2</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation2</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mytest</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mytest2</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/web-application-config.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation2</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/mytest2-servlet.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
Try this in your end state
<end-state id="exit" view="externalRedirect:controllerURL" />
where 'controllerURL' is the URL that your controller listens to/
