Hi All,

I am working on a small POC on Spring MVC Portlets in Weblogic Portal 10.3.2 version.

Spring has not been included in Project Factes under preferences in one of my old projects and we are adding spring related jars in WEB-INF/lib folder. So how do I go with this POC?
It seems adding Spring in Project facets will add Spring framework library to project classpath. Also enables SpringIDE tooling support on the project*. By adding Spring in Project Facets for this POC will help me not include the Spring jars in WEB-INF/lib ?

and also in web.xml we use this snippet
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

can we replace org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet with org.springframework.web.portlet.DispatcherPortlet ? because we are working with Spring MVC portlet.


Thanks,
Win
