Types of Handler Mapping

BeanNameUrl HandlerMapping, CommonsPathMap HandlerMapping, ControllerClassName HandlerMapping, SimpleUrl HandlerMapping.

BeanNameUrl : The simplest of the Handler Mapping and it is used to map the Url that comes from the Clients directly to the Bean Object. The Bean is nothing but a Controller object.

CommonsPathMap : This is a rarely used Handler Mapping in which case, the name of the Url to which the Controller has to be mapped is specified directly in the Source file of the Controller.

ControllerClassName : This Controller is taking directly from the Url itself with slight modifications.

SimpleUrl : The Simplest of all the Handler Mappings as it directly maps the Client Request to some Controller object.
