Content preview from Spring MVC: Designing Real-World Web Applications

More view technologies

Spring MVC supports an impressive set of view technologies; you can use any of these after adding the right Maven dependencies in your project. Spring provides view resolvers out of the box for most of the view technologies. Here is a list of other view technologies supported by Spring MVC:

Velocity and FreeMarker
Groovy markup templates
JavaScript templates (on Nashhorn): Handlebars, Mustache, ReactJS, and EJS
ERB templates on JRuby and String templates on Jython
XML views and XSLT (built in)
Tiles
PDF (iText) and Excel (Apache POI)
JasperReports
Feed views

In most cases, you will need to mix and match view technologies in the same application. For example, you may use JSP for normal HTML screens, but you will still need JasperReports ...
