Constructor Detail

FlowHandlerAdapter

public FlowHandlerAdapter()

Creates a new flow handler adapter.

See Also:

setFlowExecutor(FlowExecutor), setFlowUrlHandler(FlowUrlHandler), setAjaxHandler(AjaxHandler), afterPropertiesSet()

Method Detail

getFlowExecutor

public FlowExecutor getFlowExecutor()

Returns the central service for executing flows. Required.

setFlowExecutor

public void setFlowExecutor(FlowExecutor flowExecutor)

Sets the central service for executing flows. Required.

Parameters:

flowExecutor -

getFlowUrlHandler

public FlowUrlHandler getFlowUrlHandler()

Returns the flow url handler.

setFlowUrlHandler

public void setFlowUrlHandler(FlowUrlHandler flowUrlHandler)

Sets the flow url handler

Parameters:

flowUrlHandler - the flow url handler

getAjaxHandler

public AjaxHandler getAjaxHandler()

Returns the configured Ajax handler.

setAjaxHandler

public void setAjaxHandler(AjaxHandler ajaxHandler)

Sets the configured Ajax handler.

Parameters:

ajaxHandler - the ajax handler

getRedirectHttp10Compatible

public boolean getRedirectHttp10Compatible()

Whether redirect sent by this handler adapter should be compatible with HTTP 1.0 clients.

Returns:

true if so, false otherwise

setRedirectHttp10Compatible

public void setRedirectHttp10Compatible(boolean redirectHttp10Compatible)

Set whether redirects sent by this handler adapter should be compatible with HTTP 1.0 clients.

By default, this will enforce a redirect HTTP status code of 302 by delegating to HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect. Setting this to false will send HTTP status code 303, which is the correct code for HTTP 1.1 clients, but not understood by HTTP 1.0 clients.

Many HTTP 1.1 clients treat 302 just like 303, not making any difference. However, some clients depend on 303 when redirecting after a POST request; turn this flag off in such a scenario.

See Also:

HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect(java.lang.String)

setStatusCode

public void setStatusCode(org.springframework.http.HttpStatus statusCode)

Set the status code for this view.

Default is to send 302/303, depending on the value of the http10Compatible flag.

setSaveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect

public void setSaveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect(boolean saveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect)

Set whether servlet relative redirects sent by this handler adapter should pass flow output to the Spring MVC flash scope.

By default, to remain compatible with previous releases, flow output is not mapped to flash scope.

Parameters:

saveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect -

getSaveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect

public boolean getSaveOutputToFlashScopeOnRedirect()

Whether servlet relative redirects should pass flow output to the Spring MVC flash scope.

Returns:

true if so, false otherwise

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface org.springframework.beans.factory.InitializingBean

Throws:

public boolean supports(java.lang.Object handler)

Specified by:

                   java.lang.Object handler)

Specified by:

getLastModified in interface org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerAdapter

createServletExternalContext

protected ServletExternalContext createServletExternalContext(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                                  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Creates the servlet external context for the current HTTP servlet request.

Parameters:

request - the current request

response - the current response

defaultGetFlowId

protected java.lang.String defaultGetFlowId(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

The default algorithm to determine the id of the flow to launch from the current request. Only called if FlowHandler.getFlowId() returns null. This implementation delegates to the configured FlowUrlHandler.getFlowId(HttpServletRequest). Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

request - the current request

defaultCreateFlowExecutionInputMap

protected MutableAttributeMap<java.lang.Object> defaultCreateFlowExecutionInputMap(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

The default algorithm to create the flow execution input map. Only called if FlowHandler.createExecutionInputMap(HttpServletRequest) returns null. This implementation exposes all current request parameters as flow execution input attributes. Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

request - the current request

defaultHandleExecutionOutcome

protected void defaultHandleExecutionOutcome(java.lang.String flowId,
                                 FlowExecutionOutcome outcome,
                                 ServletExternalContext context,
                                 javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                 javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                                      throws java.io.IOException

The default algorithm for handling a flow execution outcome. Only called if FlowHandler.handleExecutionOutcome(FlowExecutionOutcome, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) returns null. This implementation attempts to start a new execution of the ended flow. Any flow execution output is passed as input to the new execution. Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

flowId - the id of the ended flow

outcome - the flow execution outcome

context - ServletExternalContext the completed ServletExternalContext

request - the current request

response - the current response

Throws:

java.io.IOException

defaultHandleException

protected void defaultHandleException(java.lang.String flowId,
                          FlowException e,
                          javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                          javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                               throws java.io.IOException

The default algorithm for handling a FlowException now handled by the Web Flow system. Only called if FlowHandler.handleException(FlowException, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) returns null. This implementation rethrows the exception unless it is a NoSuchFlowExecutionException. If the exception is a NoSuchFlowExecutionException, this implementation attempts to start a new execution of the ended or expired flow. Subclasses may override.

Parameters:

flowId - the id of the ended flow

e - the flow exception

request - the current request

response - the current response

Throws:

java.io.IOException

sendRedirect

protected void sendRedirect(java.lang.String url,
                javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                     throws java.io.IOException

Sends a redirect to the requested url using HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect(String).Called to actually perform flow execution redirects, flow definition redirects, and external redirects. Subclasses may override to customize general Web Flow system redirect behavior.

Parameters:

url - the url to redirect to

request - the current request

response - the current response

Throws:

java.io.IOException - an exception occurred
