Often times, you may mix use of multiple handler mappings strategy in Spring MVC development.

For example, use ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping to map all the convention handler mappings, and SimpleUrlHandlerMapping to map other special handler mappings explicitly.

        
           
              
       
                    /index.htm=welcomeController            /welcome.htm=welcomeController            /main.htm=welcomeController            /home.htm=welcomeController        
             
            
         
            
           
            
         
              
                
             
    

In above case, it’s important to specify the handler mapping priority, so that it won’t cause the conflict. You can set the priority via the “order” property, where the lower order value has the higher priority.
