Method Detail

setOrder

public final void setOrder(int order)

getOrder

public final int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Return the order value of this object, higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting. Normally starting with 0 or 1, Integer.MAX_VALUE indicating greatest. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

Higher value can be interpreted as lower priority, consequently the first object has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value

setDefaultHandler

public final void setDefaultHandler(java.lang.Object defaultHandler)

Set the default handler for this handler mapping. This handler will be returned if no specific mapping was found. Default is null.

Parameters:

defaultHandler - default handler instance, or null if none

getDefaultHandler

protected final java.lang.Object getDefaultHandler()

Return the default handler for this handler mapping.

Returns:

the default handler instance, or null if none

setInterceptors

public final void setInterceptors(HandlerInterceptor[] interceptors)

Set the handler interceptors to apply for all handlers mapped by this handler mapping.

Parameters:

interceptors - array of handler interceptors, or null if none

getHandler

public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
                                       throws java.lang.Exception

Look up a handler for the given request, falling back to the default handler if no specific one is found.

Specified by:

getHandler in interface HandlerMapping

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the looked up handler instance, or the default handler

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is an internal error

See Also:

getHandlerInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)

getHandlerInternal

protected abstract java.lang.Object getHandlerInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
                                                throws java.lang.Exception

Lookup a handler for the given request, returning null if no specific one is found. This method is called by getHandler, a null return value will lead to the default handler, if one is set.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the looked up handler instance, or null

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is an internal error
