Interface Summary

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
public interface	Controller Base Controller interface, representing a component that receives `HttpServletRequest` and `HttpServletResponse` instances just like a `HttpServlet` but is able to participate in an MVC workflow.
public interface	LastModified Deprecated as of 5.3.9 in favor of using the `checkNotModified` methods in `org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest`, or from an annotated controller method, returning a `org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity` with an "ETag" and/or "Last-Modified" headers set. Supports last-modified HTTP requests to facilitate content caching.

public abstract class	AbstractController Convenient superclass for controller implementations, using the Template Method design pattern.
public abstract class	AbstractUrlViewController Abstract base class for `Controllers` that return a view name based on the request URL.

public class	ParameterizableViewController Trivial controller that always returns a pre-configured view and optionally sets the response status code.
public class	ServletForwardingController Spring Controller implementation that forwards to a named servlet, i.e. the "servlet-name" in web.xml rather than a URL path mapping.
public class	ServletWrappingController Spring Controller implementation that wraps a servlet instance which it manages internally.
public class	SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter Adapter to use the plain `Controller` workflow interface with the generic `org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet`.
public class	UrlFilenameViewController Simple `Controller` implementation that transforms the virtual path of a URL into a view name and returns that view.
public class	WebContentInterceptor Handler interceptor that checks the request for supported methods and a required session and prepares the response by applying the configured cache settings.
