Class SimpleServletPostProcessor

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleServletPostProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

BeanPostProcessor, DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor, ServletContextAware

public class SimpleServletPostProcessor
extends Object
implements DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor, ServletContextAware

Bean post-processor that applies initialization and destruction callbacks to beans that implement the Servlet interface.

After initialization of the bean instance, the Servlet init method will be called with a ServletConfig that contains the bean name of the Servlet and the ServletContext that it is running in.

Before destruction of the bean instance, the Servlet destroy will be called.

Note that this post-processor does not support Servlet initialization parameters. Bean instances that implement the Servlet interface are supposed to be configured like any other Spring bean, that is, through constructor arguments or bean properties.

For reuse of a Servlet implementation in a plain Servlet container and as a bean in a Spring context, consider deriving from Spring's HttpServletBean base class that applies Servlet initialization parameters as bean properties, supporting both initialization styles.

Alternatively, consider wrapping a Servlet with Spring's ServletWrappingController. This is particularly appropriate for existing Servlet classes, allowing to specify Servlet initialization parameters etc.

Method Detail

setServletContext

public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)

Description copied from interface: ServletContextAware

Set the ServletContext that this object runs in.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked after ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:

setServletContext in interface ServletContextAware

Parameters:

servletContext - ServletContext object to be used by this object

postProcessBeforeInitialization

public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean,
                                              String beanName)
                                       throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: BeanPostProcessor

Apply this BeanPostProcessor to the given new bean instance before any bean initialization callbacks (like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method). The bean will already be populated with property values. The returned bean instance may be a wrapper around the original.

Specified by:

postProcessBeforeInitialization in interface BeanPostProcessor

Parameters:

bean - the new bean instance

beanName - the name of the bean

Returns:

the bean instance to use, either the original or a wrapped one

Throws:

BeansException - in case of errors

See Also:

InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()

postProcessAfterInitialization

public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean,
                                             String beanName)
                                      throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: BeanPostProcessor

Apply this BeanPostProcessor to the given new bean instance after any bean initialization callbacks (like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method). The bean will already be populated with property values. The returned bean instance may be a wrapper around the original.

Specified by:

postProcessAfterInitialization in interface BeanPostProcessor

Parameters:

bean - the new bean instance

beanName - the name of the bean

Returns:

the bean instance to use, either the original or a wrapped one

Throws:

BeansException - in case of errors

See Also:

InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()

postProcessBeforeDestruction

public void postProcessBeforeDestruction(Object bean,
                                         String beanName)
                                  throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor

Apply this BeanPostProcessor to the given bean instance before its destruction. Can invoke custom destruction callbacks.

Like DisposableBean's destroy and a custom destroy method, this callback just applies to singleton beans in the factory (including inner beans).

Specified by:

postProcessBeforeDestruction in interface DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor

Parameters:

bean - the bean instance to be destroyed

beanName - the name of the bean

Throws:

BeansException - in case of errors
