All Implemented Interfaces:

ApplicationContextAware, 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.

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).

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.

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(java.util.Properties cacheMappings)

Map specific URL paths to specific cache seconds.

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

Parameters:

cacheMappings - a mapping between URL paths (as keys) and cache seconds (as values, need to be integer-parsable)

See Also:

WebContentGenerator.setCacheSeconds(int)

preHandle

public boolean preHandle(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                         javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                         java.lang.Object handler)
                  throws javax.servlet.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 respectively the handler itself. Else, DispatcherServlet assumes that this interceptor has already dealt with the response itself.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

lookupCacheSeconds

protected java.lang.Integer lookupCacheSeconds(java.lang.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 PathMatcher class.

Parameters:

urlPath - URL the bean is mapped to

Returns:

the associated cache seconds, or null if not found

postHandle

public void postHandle(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                       java.lang.Object handler,
                       ModelAndView modelAndView)

Description copied from interface: HandlerInterceptor

Intercept the execution of a handler. Called after HandlerAdapter actually invoked the handler, but before the DispatcherServlet renders the view. Can expose additional model objects to the view via the given ModelAndView.

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 post-process an execution, getting applied in inverse order of the execution chain.

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

afterCompletion

public void afterCompletion(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                            javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                            java.lang.Object handler,
                            java.lang.Exception ex)

Description copied from interface: HandlerInterceptor

Callback after completion of request processing, i.e. after rendering the view. Will be called on any outcome of handler execution, thus allows for proper resource cleanup.

Note: Will only be called if this interceptor's preHandle method has successfully completed and returned true!

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
