Spring chaning LiteDeviceDelegatingViewResolver and InternalResourceViewResolver

Question

I'm having trouble using Spring Mobile 1.1.2 and Spring MVC. The problem I'm having is, that in the application I have all views for desktop and for some desktop, I have mobile alternative.

I use LiteDeviceDelegatingViewResolver, which delegates to InternalResourceViewResolver. If both desktop and mobile views are present, everything works fine. On desktop I see desktop version, on mobile I see mobile version. The problem is when the mobile view is not present.

I know, that fallback resolution will only work when delegating to a view resolver which returns null from resolveViewName(String, Locale) if it cannot resolve a view. For example, InternalResourceViewResolver never returns null, so fallback resolution will not be available. So I didn't hope that will work.

But I tried to chain resolvers, with order 1 LiteDeviceDelegatingViewResolver(delegates to InternalResourceViewResolver) and with order 2 InternalResourceViewResolver (which point to desktop views all the time regardless on the device). My problem is, that it never gets to resolver number 2. Where is the problem?

Thanks

Answer 1

According to Spring doc you just need to enable fullback resolution.

<property name="enableFallback" value="true" />

hope it helps you !
