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 JDK 1.4 if the encoding differs from the VM's platform default encoding, as JDK 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(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.

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.

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 PathMatcher class.

Parameters:

urlPath - URL the bean is mapped to

Returns:

the associated cache seconds, or null if not found

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 (only included as additional context information for the case where a handler threw an exception; request execution may have failed even when this argument is null)

Throws:

Exception - in case of errors
