Spring MVC ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping tutorial with example

What is ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping

        Implementation of HandlerMapping that follows a simple convention for generating URL path mappings from the class names of registered Controller 

        The convention is to take the short name of the Class, remove the 'Controller' suffix if it exists and return the remaining text, lower-cased, as the mapping, with a leading /. 

 For example:

WelcomeController -> /welcome*

HomeController -> /home*
