Does spring mvc have the concept of before/after controller action events?

Does spring mvc have the concept of events firing before/after a controller action?

I am currently using a filter, but I could also inherit from a basecontroller for specific sections of my website and use before/after events if they exist.

So I mean I can create an event that fires just before a controller's action fires, or an event that fires after.

I think you are looking for interceptors. I don't know what strategy you are using for routing you requests to your controller methods, so I assume you are using annotations. Then, here is how you could put your interceptor on the stack:

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
    <property name="interceptors">
        <list>
            <ref bean="loginInterceptor"/>
        </list>
      </property>
</bean

Where loginInterceptor is the id of a bean declared in your application context which implements the interface org.springframework.validation.Validator

This looks like something you can achieve using Spring AOP.
