wrong example given at section 17.4 Handler mappings [SPR-13832]

[spring-projects-issues]

Constantino Cronemberger opened SPR-13832 and commented

The example given at:

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.2.16.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/#mvc-handlermapping

Does not work.

I had to remove the id from the bean declaration for it to work:

<beans>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<bean class="example.MyInterceptor"/>
</property>
</bean>
<beans>

Affects: 3.2.16

Backported to: 3.2.17

Indeed, in order for that custom bean to override the default RequestMappingHandlerMapping bean, there should be no id specified. However, that's just for a scenario with <mvc:annotation-driven> / @EnableWebMvc present; without those declared, the explicit id in the example should not make a difference.

In any case, I've adapted the example accordingly.
