Step 6—Web application configuration

In this example, we are going to use Spring MVC as our web application framework. Let's create the web application configuration file:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages= {"com.packtpub.book.ch02.springsecurity.controller"})
public class WebApplicationConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
   @Override
   public void configureViewResolvers(ViewResolverRegistry registry) {
       registry.jsp().prefix("/WEB-INF/views/").suffix(".jsp");
   }
}

The @EnableWebMvc annotation makes sure that your application is based on Spring MVC.
