This is a cross post. I've also posted the same question to spring forums. http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?128579-Database-driven-Controller-Mapping

Hi I'm trying to do database driven controller mappings so that they can change at runtime.

So far what I have is as follows.

Custom Handler Adaptor which can always be optimized later.

@Component
public class DatabasePageUrlHandlerMapping extends AbstractUrlHandlerMapping implements PriorityOrdered {


    @Override
    protected Object getHandlerInternal(HttpServletRequest request)
            throws Exception {
        String lookupPath = getUrlPathHelper().getLookupPathForRequest(request);
        List<Page> pages = Page.findAllPages();
        for (Page page : pages) {
            if (lookupPath.equals(page.getSeoPath())) {
                Object handler = getApplicationContext().getBean("_pageViewController");
                return new HandlerExecutionChain(handler);
            }
        }
        return super.getHandlerInternal(request);
    }

}

my webmvc-config looks as follows (the relevant part)

Code:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.artiststogether"
    use-default-filters="false">
    <context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller"
        type="annotation" />
</context:component-scan>

<!-- If I don't put an order into this it doesn't fail over to the implementation why? -->
<bean class="com.artiststogether.web.DatabasePageUrlHandlerMapping" p:order="-1" />
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter"/>

This appears to be picking up the correct controller. However I recieve an error when going to a database define
