Handler Mappings
nThe process of Handler Mapping binds incoming web requests to appropriate handlers that then resolve to a Controller(s) (in most cases)
nOn inbound requests, the DispatcherServlet hands it over to the handler mapping to come up with an appropriate HandlerExecutionChain
nNote: Handler Mappings apply from the base url-pattern specified in the web.xml
nBy default, if no handler mapping can be found in the context, the DispatcherServlet creates a BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping for you
