Difference between spring mvc tags

[Rakesh Basani]

Hi guys..

Please explain me the difference between following tags

<mvc:annotation-driven>
<context:annotation-driven>
<tx:annotation-driven>
<context:component-scan base-package=" ">
<context:annotaion-config>


Thanks in advance

Rakesh,

Did you forget we already answered most of this question for you a little while back?

Please review this thread
http://www.coderanch.com/t/586286/Spring/mvc-annotation-driven-Vs-context

That previous post explains the following:

<mvc:annotation-driven>
<context:component-scan base-package=" ">
<context:annotation-config>


For the remaining 2

<context:annotation-driven> - This is not defined in the context schema, I am not sure where you found this.

<tx:annotation-driven> - This enables Spring's support for transaction management using the @Transactional annotation.

Thanks for your reply bill..

I recently came accross <tx:annotation-driven> .. So I just thought that It would be better to post all tags to get clear view..
One more thing <context:annotation-driven> does not exist.. you are right.. sorry for post that..
