## org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation
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
            }
     }
