Package org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction

Package allowing MVC Controller implementations to handle requests at method rather than class level. This is useful when we want to avoid having many trivial controller classes, as can easily happen when using an MVC framework.

Typically a controller that handles multiple request types will extend MultiActionController, and implement multiple request handling methods that will be invoked by reflection if they follow this class' naming convention. Classes are analyzed at startup and methods cached, so the performance overhead of reflection in this approach is negligible.
