How to find all controllers in Spring MVC?

by

I like the approach suggested by @Japs, but would also like to recommend an alternate approach.
This is based on your observation that the classpath has already been scanned by Spring, and the controllers and the request mapped methods configured, this mapping is maintained in a handlerMapping component. If you are using Spring 3.1 this handlerMapping component is an instance of RequestMappingHandlerMapping, which you can query to find the handlerMappedMethods and the associated controllers, along these lines(if you are on an older version of Spring, you should be able to use a similar approach):

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping;

@Controller
public class EndpointDocController {
 private final RequestMappingHandlerMapping handlerMapping;
 
 @Autowired
 public EndpointDocController(RequestMappingHandlerMapping handlerMapping) {
  this.handlerMapping = handlerMapping;
 }
  
 @RequestMapping(value="/endpointdoc", method=RequestMethod.GET)
 public void show(Model model) {
  model.addAttribute("handlerMethods", this.handlerMapping.getHandlerMethods());
 } 
}

I have provided more details on this at this url http://biju-allandsundry.blogspot.com/2012/03/endpoint-documentation-controller-for.html

This is based on a presentation on Spring 3.1 by Rossen Stoyanchev of Spring Source.
