Hi Ron,
The pre-execution mechanism is mostly used for pages that renders a page on GET
requests, typically a form, and returns something else completely on POST
requests, such as a pdf/xls etc based on the submitted form. Or a redirect,
thats also typical.
The same functionality can be achieved with your approach, the form would just
post to URL that targets your servlet. But it can be very convenient to have
the logic for both GET and POST in the same controller.
Unless you need the form i don't think its worthwhile to rewrite it using
Blossom. In fact I have often recommended using your exact approach.
The real value of Blossom is in templating.
This is how to configure handler mappings for pre-execution:
<bean class="info.magnolia.module.blossom.preexecution.BlossomHandlerMapping">
<property name="targetHandlerMappings">
<list>
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
<property name="useDefaultSuffixPattern" value="false" />
</bean>
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping" />
</list>
</property>
</bean>
