Summary
In this chapter we’ve looked at the various technologies that can be used within your Spring
Web MVC application, including JSP, templating technologies, XSLT, and document-based
views. We also covered how to create your own view types that fit within the Spring architec-
ture and that allow your application to display models in unusual ways.
We’ve presented a lot of information in this long chapter. The chances are that your appli-
cations will only ever use a small subset of the functionality and technologies that Spring
supports in its view layer. If you have an application that uses all of it, please write in and let
us know; we’d love to see it!264 CHAPTER 8 ■SUPPORTED VIEW TYPES
