All Implemented Interfaces:

MethodNameResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver

extends java.lang.Object

implements MethodNameResolver

Abstract base class for URL-based MethodNameResolver implementations.

Provides infrastructure for mapping handlers to URLs and configurable URL lookup. For information on the latter, see alwaysUseFullPath property.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getHandlerMethodName(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) This implementation of getHandlerMethodName retrieves the URL path to use for lookup and delegates to getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath.
protected abstract java.lang.String	getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath(java.lang.String urlPath) Return a method name that can handle this request, based on the given lookup path.
void	setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean alwaysUseFullPath) Set if URL lookup should always use full path within current servlet context.
void	setUrlDecode(boolean urlDecode) Set if context path and request URI should be URL-decoded.
void	setUrlPathHelper(UrlPathHelper urlPathHelper) Set the UrlPathHelper to use for resolution of lookup paths.

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.

See Also:

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).

Note: Setting this to true requires J2SE 1.4, as J2SE 1.3's URLDecoder class does not offer a way to specify the encoding.

See Also:

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 MethodNameResolvers and HandlerMappings.

See Also:

AbstractUrlHandlerMapping.setUrlPathHelper(org.springframework.web.util.UrlPathHelper)

getHandlerMethodName

public final java.lang.String getHandlerMethodName(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
                                            throws NoSuchRequestHandlingMethodException

This implementation of getHandlerMethodName retrieves the URL path to use for lookup and delegates to getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath. Converts null values to NoSuchRequestHandlingMethodExceptions.

Specified by:

getHandlerMethodName in interface MethodNameResolver

Returns:

a method name that can handle this request. Never returns null; throws exception

Throws:

NoSuchRequestHandlingMethodException - if no method can be found for this URL

getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath

protected abstract java.lang.String getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath(java.lang.String urlPath)

Return a method name that can handle this request, based on the given lookup path. Called by this class' getHandlerMethodName.

Parameters:

urlPath - the URL path to use for lookup, according to the settings in this class

Returns:

a method name that can handle this request. Should return null if no matching method found.
