allow ResponseStatus on Controller class [SPR-13547]

[spring-projects-issues]

Christopher Smith opened SPR-13547 and commented

I'm collecting our obsolete-and-redirected URLs into a single controller, and it would be convenient to be able to specify @ResponseStatus(MOVED_PERMANENTLY) on the class rather than on every method, as mappings and @ResponseBody can be.

Also worth mentioning that "view controllers" in the MVC Java config and XML namespace support redirect declarations.

I had not been aware of ViewControllerRegistry#addRedirectViewController and RedirectViewControllerRegistration#setStatusCode, which will probably handle most of what I was doing by hand. I suggest adding this to the snippet at 21.16.7:

registry.addRedirectViewController("/old", "/new").setStatusCode(HttpStatus.MOVED_PERMANENTLY);
