Spring MVC equivalent for Struts 2 Preparable

Is there something similar to Struts 2 Preparable interface / prepare method in Spring 3 MVC?

That is, a method executed every time the controller is requested.

Thanks.

EDIT: What I want to achieve, for example, is to fill a group of properties depending on the user I am, for every request in this cont开发者_如何转开发roller, trying to avoid this:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("my")
public class MyController {

    private void fillProperties() {...}

    public void request1() {
        fillProperties();
        ...
    }

    public void request2() {
        fillProperties();
        ...
    }

}

You can use Interceptors

---

Here are a couple of options:

• use a ServletFilter
• add an AOP before advise point cut to match the controller method(s) you want.

---

• Make a constructor MyController(){}
• and call all methods

or

• You can also use annotations @postconstruct and @predestroy annotations
