All Implemented Interfaces:
ApplicationContextAware, ServletContextAware, HandlerInterceptor

public class WebContentInterceptor
extends WebContentGenerator
implements HandlerInterceptor

Interceptor that checks and prepares request and response. Checks for supported methods and a required session, and applies the specified number of cache seconds. See superclass bean properties for configuration options.

All the settings supported by this interceptor can also be set on AbstractController. This interceptor is mainly intended for applying checks and preparations to a set of controllers mapped by a HandlerMapping.

WebContentInterceptor

public WebContentInterceptor()
Method Detail

setAlwaysUseFullPath

public void setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean alwaysUseFullPath)
Set if URL lookup should always use full path within current servlet context. Else, the path within the current servlet mapping is used if applicable (i.e. in the case of a ".../*" servlet mapping in web.xml). Default is "false".

Only relevant for the "cacheMappings" setting.

See Also:
setCacheMappings(java.util.Properties), UrlPathHelper.setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean)

setUrlDecode

public void setUrlDecode(boolean urlDecode)
Set if context path and request URI should be URL-decoded. Both are returned undecoded by the Servlet API, in contrast to the servlet path.

Uses either the request encoding or the default encoding according to the Servlet spec (ISO-8859-1).

Only relevant for the "cacheMappings" setting.

See Also:
setCacheMappings(java.util.Properties), UrlPathHelper.setUrlDecode(boolean)

setUrlPathHelper

public void setUrlPathHelper(UrlPathHelper urlPathHelper)
Set the UrlPathHelper to use for resolution of lookup paths.

Use this to override the default UrlPathHelper with a custom subclass, or to share common UrlPathHelper settings across multiple HandlerMappings and MethodNameResolvers.

Only relevant for the "cacheMappings" setting.

See Also:
setCacheMappings(java.util.Properties), AbstractUrlHandlerMapping.setUrlPathHelper(org.springframework.web.util.UrlPathHelper), AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver.setUrlPathHelper(org.springframework.web.util.UrlPathHelper)

setCacheMappings

public void setCacheMappings(Properties cacheMappings)
Map specific URL paths to specific cache seconds.

Overrides the default cache seconds setting of this interceptor. Can specify "-1" to exclude a URL path from default caching.

Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and a various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" matches both "/test" and "/team". For details, see the AntPathMatcher javadoc.

Parameters:
cacheMappings - a mapping between URL paths (as keys) and cache seconds (as values, need to be integer-parsable)
See Also:
WebContentGenerator.setCacheSeconds(int), AntPathMatcher

setPathMatcher

public void setPathMatcher(PathMatcher pathMatcher)
Set the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns, for determining cache mappings. Default is AntPathMatcher.

See Also:
setCacheMappings(java.util.Properties), AntPathMatcher

preHandle

public boolean preHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
                         HttpServletResponse response,
                         Object handler)
                  throws ServletException
Description copied from interface: HandlerInterceptor
Intercept the execution of a handler. Called after HandlerMapping determined an appropriate handler object, but before HandlerAdapter invokes the handler.

DispatcherServlet processes a handler in an execution chain, consisting of any number of interceptors, with the handler itself at the end. With this method, each interceptor can decide to abort the execution chain, typically sending a HTTP error or writing a custom response.

Specified by:
preHandle in interface HandlerInterceptor
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
handler - chosen handler to execute, for type and/or instance evaluation
Returns:
true if the execution chain should proceed with the next interceptor or the handler itself. Else, DispatcherServlet assumes that this interceptor has already dealt with the response itself.
Throws:
ServletException

lookupCacheSeconds

protected Integer lookupCacheSeconds(String urlPath)
Look up a cache seconds value for the given URL path.

Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" matches both "/test" and "/team". For details, see the AntPathMatcher class.

Parameters:
urlPath - URL the bean is mapped to
Returns:
the associated cache seconds, or null if not found

AntPathMatcher

postHandle

public void postHandle(HttpServletRequest request,
                       HttpServletResponse response,
                       Object handler,
                       ModelAndView modelAndView)
                throws Exception
This implementation is empty.

Specified by:
postHandle in interface HandlerInterceptor
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
handler - chosen handler to execute, for type and/or instance examination
modelAndView - the ModelAndView that the handler returned (can also be null)
Throws:
Exception - in case of errors

afterCompletion

public void afterCompletion(HttpServletRequest request,
                            HttpServletResponse response,
                            Object handler,
                            Exception ex)
                     throws Exception
This implementation is empty.

Specified by:
afterCompletion in interface HandlerInterceptor
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
handler - chosen handler to execute, for type and/or instance examination
ex - exception thrown on handler execution, if any
Throws:
Exception - in case of errors
