## Annotation Type EnableWebMvc

-     @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
      @Target(value=TYPE)
      @Documented
      @Import(value=DelegatingWebMvcConfiguration.class)
      public @interface EnableWebMvc

  Add this annotation to an `@Configuration` class to have the Spring MVC configuration defined in `WebMvcConfigurationSupport` imported:

       @Configuration
       @EnableWebMvc
       @ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = { MyConfiguration.class })
       public class MyWebConfiguration {

       }

  Customize the imported configuration by implementing the `WebMvcConfigurer` interface or more likely by extending the `WebMvcConfigurerAdapter` base class and overriding individual methods:

       @Configuration
       @EnableWebMvc
       @ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = { MyConfiguration.class })
       public class MyConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

              @Override
              public void addFormatters(FormatterRegistry formatterRegistry) {
                      formatterRegistry.addConverter(new MyConverter());
              }

              @Override
              public void configureMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
                      converters.add(new MyHttpMessageConverter());
              }

              // More overridden methods ...
       }

  If the customization options of `WebMvcConfigurer` do not expose something you need to configure, consider removing the `@EnableWebMvc` annotation and extending directly from `WebMvcConfigurationSupport` overriding selected `@Bean` methods:

       @Configuration
       @ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = { MyConfiguration.class })
       public class MyConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurationSupport {

              @Override
              public void addFormatters(FormatterRegistry formatterRegistry) {
                      formatterRegistry.addConverter(new MyConverter());
              }

              @Bean
              public RequestMappingHandlerAdapter requestMappingHandlerAdapter() {
                      // Create or delegate to "super" to create and
                      // customize properties of RequestMapingHandlerAdapter
              }
       }
