Spring MVC: Setting 'alwaysUseFullPath ' on 'RequestMappingHandlerMapping' when using 'mvc:annotation-driven'

It seems that the recommended way to set 'alwaysUseFullPath ' on 'RequestMappingHandlerMapping' when using <mvc:annotation-driven /> is to use a 'BeanPostProcessor':

 public class MyBeanPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {  
   private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyBeanPostProcessor.class);  

   @Override  
   public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {  
     if (bean instanceof RequestMappingHandlerMapping) {  
       setAlwaysUseFullPath((RequestMappingHandlerMapping) bean, beanName);  
     }  
     return bean;  
   }  

   private void setAlwaysUseFullPath(RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping, String beanName) {  
     logger.info("Setting 'AlwaysUseFullPath' on 'RequestMappingHandlerMapping'-bean to true. Bean name: {}", beanName);  
     requestMappingHandlerMapping.setAlwaysUseFullPath(true);  
   }  

   @Override  
   public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {  
     return bean;  
   }  
 }
