      public boolean supports(Object handler)
      Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
      Given a handler instance, return whether this HandlerAdapter can support it. Typical HandlerAdapters will base the decision on the handler type. HandlerAdapters will usually only support one handler type each.

      A typical implementation:

      return (handler instanceof MyHandler);

      Specified by:
      supports in interface HandlerAdapter
      Parameters:
      handler - the handler object to check
      Returns:
      whether this object can use the given handler
    • handle

      @Nullable public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
      Use the given handler to handle this request. The workflow that is required may vary widely.
      Specified by:
      handle in interface HandlerAdapter
      Parameters:
      request - current HTTP request
      response - current HTTP response
      handler - the handler to use. This object must have previously been passed to the supports method of this interface, which must have returned true.
      Returns:
      a ModelAndView object with the name of the view and the required model data, or null if the request has been handled directly
      Throws:
      Exception - in case of errors
    • getLastModified

      public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request, Object handler)
      Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
      Same contract as for HttpServlet's getLastModified method. Can simply return -1 if there's no support in the handler class.
      Specified by:
      getLastModified in interface HandlerAdapter
      Parameters:
      request - current HTTP request
      handler - the handler to use
      Returns:
      the lastModified value for the given handler
