Is there a way to retrieve information about spring mappings defined by @Controller?

Question

I\'d like to be able to create a page that lists off the mappings that were discovered by controllers annotated with @Controller. I\'m doing this for REST services

Answer 1

Check out this custom doclet https://github.com/rightshift/spring-mvc-api-doclet. It will create endpoint documentation for all Spring MVC @Controller annotated classes. Custom templates can be created to produce different HTML output. The new template name just needs to be passed as an optional param. It can also be added to as a reportSet to the reporting section of your maven pom.

With Spring 3.1, there is a new feature referred to as "end point documentation". The only thing I could find was some code in the spring-mvc-31-demo sample app. Refer to the example controller and JSP. Seems pretty straight forward.
