打散 <mvc:annotation-driven>

Spring3.0的基于注解的MVC非常好用，特别在加入了新的mvc的命名空间后，极大的减少了配置文件内容。但是如果想更改默认DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping的属性，比如 useDefaultSuffixPattern，alwaysUseFullPath之类的，就会遇到Controller被加载2次，即实例化2次 DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping对象，这个比较郁闷，因为你更改的属性并没有 生效。

奇怪的是这个问题在spring的官方论坛被提及过（http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=81238 ）， 不过相关问题都被关闭了（ https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-6524 ）。唯一可行的更改 DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping 属性的 方法是打散<mvc:annotation-driven> 配置，也就是得了解一下这句配置究竟替换了未定义mvc namespace之前的配置方法（ https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-6306 ）：
