Spring MVC 3, Interceptor on all excluding some defined paths

Since Spring 3.2 they added that feature with the tag

mvc:exclude-mapping

See this example from the Spring documentation:

<mvc:interceptors>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor" />
<mvc:interceptor>
    <mvc:mapping path="/**"/>
    <mvc:exclude-mapping path="/admin/**"/>
    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.theme.ThemeChangeInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptor>
<mvc:interceptor>
    <mvc:mapping path="/secure/*"/>
    <bean class="org.example.SecurityInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptor>
