    Note: I couldn’t include all the links I wanted to because of lack of reputation, there’s lots to Google in here.

    Your assumption that an XML sitemap for SEO is beneficial is correct – it’s a URL discovery method for search engines.

    There’s already an answer for generating the XML sitemaps with Spring MVC : How to generate the correct sitemap namespace using JAXB and Spring @ResponseBody in controller?

    When generating your XML sitemap, filter out any pages that don’t pass the following conditions:

    • Do not return a valid 200 response code
    • Contains a meta level “noindex” or x-robots NOINDEX http header
    • Contains a canonical reference to a different page, i.e. /example.html rel=”canonical” href=”page.html”
      • Page is blocked by robots.txt

    The idea is to keep the XML sitemap as clean as possible; no redirects, no blocked URLs, etc…

    I use Integrity Pro for custom web apps. There are a lot of free apps but this is the easiest.

    The best way to generate a sitemap is to use a sitemap generator. For example you can try Slickplan.

    It has the site crawler, which you can use to import the structure of your website and create a sitemap from it. At the end you can export your sitemap in several file formats, and also thanks to a few integration modules import it directly to CMS: WordPress, Joomla!, cocnrete5, Drupal and ExpressionEngine.
