Handler mapping

[reaganrosario]

HI,

I know there there are atleast 4 custom handler mapping in broadleaf like:
org.broadleafcommerce.core.web.catalog.CategoryHandlerMapping
org.broadleafcommerce.cms.web.BroadleafCmsSimpleUrlHandlerMapping
org.broadleafcommerce.core.web.catalog.ProductHandlerMapping
org.broadleafcommerce.cms.web.PageHandlerMapping

and about 6 other internal handler mappers provided by spring are used, whenever there is a request these are evaluated and a appropriate controller is returned.

But I am not able to find where these handlermappings are defined and where the order for them is configured?

Also one more question for home page the CategoryController is called correct?

The Broadleaf handler mappings are defined in your applicationContext-servlet, which is where you would define any other handler mappings. The CmsSimpleUrlHandlerMapping is defined in a Broadleaf application context (bl-cms-applicationContext-servlet.xml) which is added in your servlet configuration in your web.xml.

Not sure the ordering of the Spring handler mappings off the top of my head. This would be in the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping (which resolves @RequestMapping). However, you can define the bean explicitly yourself in your applicationContext-servlet.xml to have a custom ordering, but I think you then have to remove the <mvc:annotation-driven/> element. You might not; there might be some built-in protection for double-registering handler mappings.
