1. Using Explicit Views and their View Names:

• In Spring MVC, you can use explicit views by returning a View object from your controller method.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/example")
  public View handleRequest() {
      return new ModelAndView("exampleView");
  }
  

2. Using the Redirect View:

• The RedirectView class allows you to redirect to another URL.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/redirectExample")
  public RedirectView handleRedirect() {
      return new RedirectView("/newLocation");
  }
  

3. Configuring View Resolution:

• Configure view resolution by defining ViewResolver beans in your Spring configuration.
• Example (Java Config):

  @Bean
  public ViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver() {
      InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
      resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
      resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
      return resolver;
  }
  

4. Creating a JSP View:

• Use JSP views for rendering dynamic content.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/jspExample")
  public String handleJsp(Model model) {
      model.addAttribute("message", "Hello, JSP!");
      return "exampleJspView";
  }
  

5. Using Implicit Views with Model Attributes:

• Spring allows you to return a logical view name, and it will look for a matching view.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/implicitExample")
  public String handleImplicit(Model model) {
      model.addAttribute("message", "Implicit View Example");
      return "implicitExampleView";
  }
  

6. Configuring View Name Translation:

• Configure view name translation using LocaleResolver for internationalization.
• Example:

  @Bean
  public LocaleResolver localeResolver() {
      return new AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver();
  }
  

7. Using @ModelAttribute:

• @ModelAttribute is used to bind method parameters or method-level attributes to the model.
• Example:

  @ModelAttribute("commonAttribute")
  public String addCommonAttribute() {
      return "This is a common attribute";
  }
  

8. Returning Response Entities:

• Use ResponseEntity to have full control over the HTTP response.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/responseEntityExample")
  public ResponseEntity<String> handleResponseEntity() {
      return ResponseEntity.ok("Response Entity Example");
  }
  

9. Configuring Message Converters:

• Configure message converters to convert between HTTP requests and Java objects.
• Example:

  @Configuration
  public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
      @Override
      public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
          converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
      }
  }
  

10. Configuring Content Negotiation:

• Content Negotiation allows your application to respond to different types of requests.
• Example:

  @Configuration
  public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
      @Override
      public void configureContentNegotiation(ContentNegotiationConfigurer configurer) {
          configurer.favorPathExtension(false)
                    .favorParameter(true)
                    .parameterName("format")
                    .ignoreAcceptHeader(true)
                    .useJaf(false)
                    .defaultContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
      }
  }
  

11. Using @ResponseBody:

• @ResponseBody is used to indicate that the return value of a method should be directly written to the response body.
• Example:

  @GetMapping("/responseBodyExample")
  @ResponseBody
  public String handleResponseBody() {
      return "Response Body Example";
  }
  

In the context of Jakarta EE 8, integrating these Spring MVC features allows you to manage views, handle responses, and configure various aspects of content negotiation within your web application.
