      public class DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping
      extends AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<PortletMode>

  Implementation of the `HandlerMapping` interface that maps handlers based on portlet modes expressed through the `RequestMapping` annotation at the type or method level.

  Registered by default in `DispatcherPortlet`. NOTE: If you define custom HandlerMapping beans in your DispatcherPortlet context, you need to add a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping bean explicitly, since custom HandlerMapping beans replace the default mapping strategies. Defining a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping also allows for registering custom interceptors:

       <bean class="org.springframework.web.portlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
         <property name="interceptors">
           ...
         </property>
       </bean>

  Annotated controllers are usually marked with the `Controller` stereotype at the type level. This is not strictly necessary when `RequestMapping` is applied at the type level (since such a handler usually implements the `Controller` interface). However, `Controller` is required for detecting `RequestMapping` annotations at the method level.

  NOTE: Method-level mappings are only allowed to narrow the mapping expressed at the class level (if any). A portlet mode in combination with specific parameter conditions needs to uniquely map onto one specific handler bean, not spread across multiple handler beans. It is strongly recommended to co-locate related handler methods into the same bean.

  The `AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter` is responsible for processing annotated handler methods, as mapped by this HandlerMapping. For `RequestMapping` at the type level, specific HandlerAdapters such as `SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter` apply.

    - #### initApplicationContext

          public void initApplicationContext()
                                      throws BeansException

      Calls the `registerHandlers` method in addition to the superclass's initialization.
      Overrides:
        `initApplicationContext` in class `AbstractHandlerMapping`
      Throws:
        `ApplicationContextException` - in case of initialization errors
        `BeansException` - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

    - #### detectHandlers

          protected void detectHandlers()
                                 throws BeansException

      Register all handlers specified in the Portlet mode map for the corresponding modes.
      Throws:
        `BeansException` - if the handler couldn't be registered

    - #### detectHandlerMethods

          protected boolean detectHandlerMethods(Class<?> handlerType,
                                     String beanName,
                                     RequestMapping typeMapping)

      Derive portlet mode mappings from the handler's method-level mappings.
      Parameters:
        `handlerType` - the handler type to introspect
        `beanName` - the name of the bean introspected
        `typeMapping` - the type level mapping (if any)
      Returns:
        `true` if at least 1 handler method has been registered; `false` otherwise

    - #### getLookupKey

          protected PortletMode getLookupKey(PortletRequest request)
                                      throws Exception

      Uses the current PortletMode as lookup key.
      Specified by:
        `getLookupKey` in class `AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<PortletMode>`
      Parameters:
        `request` - current portlet request
      Returns:
        the lookup key (never `null`)
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if key computation failed
