Build a simple web project by using idea, mvn and spring

Recently, we have been using webstorm for front-end development and verification, but we haven't studied how to integrate back-end development. Now we have time to simply understand the process of front-end and back-end integration. In the middle Experienced person If the following process is not appropriate, please understand.

New project

In IDEA, file - > New - > project, create a new project, and select Maven archetype webapp

After clicking next, enter GroupId and ArtifactId, and click Next
Select the project path and click Finish to finish the creation.
The default project file structure after completion is as follows, which can be modified according to requirements:

Add Spring

We need to add dependency in pom.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Add Spring configuration file

Create a new myweb context.xml in the resources folder: New - > XML configuration file - > spring config - > myweb context.xml

Modify the default applicationContext.xml path in web.xml

Make the following changes in WEB-INF - > web.xml:

<web-app>
  <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>

  <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>classpath:myWeb-context.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
  <listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
  </listener>

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>myWeb</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
      <param-value></param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>myWeb</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Among them, context param defines the context, and classpath indicates that myWeb-context.xml exists under the classes path. In addition, you need to reference the subcontext in the init param of the servlet.

So far, the web project has been built and verified.
