Method Detail

requiredViewClass

protected Class requiredViewClass()

Description copied from class: UrlBasedViewResolver

Return the required type of view for this resolver. This implementation returns AbstractUrlBasedView.

Overrides:

requiredViewClass in class UrlBasedViewResolver

AbstractUrlBasedView

setExposeRequestAttributes

public void setExposeRequestAttributes(boolean exposeRequestAttributes)

Set whether all request attributes should be added to the model prior to merging with the template. Default is "false".

See Also:

AbstractTemplateView.setExposeRequestAttributes(boolean)

setExposeSessionAttributes

public void setExposeSessionAttributes(boolean exposeSessionAttributes)

Set whether all HttpSession attributes should be added to the model prior to merging with the template. Default is "false".

See Also:

AbstractTemplateView.setExposeSessionAttributes(boolean)

setExposeSpringMacroHelpers

public void setExposeSpringMacroHelpers(boolean exposeSpringMacroHelpers)

Set whether to expose a RequestContext for use by Spring's macro library, under the name "springBindRequestContext". Default is "false".

See Also:

AbstractTemplateView.setExposeSpringMacroHelpers(boolean)

setAllowRequestOverride

public void setAllowRequestOverride(boolean allowRequestOverride)

Set whether HttpServletRequest attributes are allowed to override (hide) controller generated model attributes of the same name. Default is "false", which causes an exception to be thrown if request attributes of the same name as model attributes are found.

See Also:

AbstractTemplateView.setAllowRequestOverride(boolean)

setAllowSessionOverride

public void setAllowSessionOverride(boolean allowSessionOverride)

Set whether HttpSession attributes are allowed to override (hide) controller generated model attributes of the same name. Default is "false", which causes an exception to be thrown if session attributes of the same name as model attributes are found.

See Also:

AbstractTemplateView.setAllowSessionOverride(boolean)

buildView

protected AbstractUrlBasedView buildView(String viewName)
                                  throws Exception

Description copied from class: UrlBasedViewResolver

Creates a new View instance of the specified view class and configures it. Does not perform any lookup for pre-defined View instances.

Spring lifecycle methods as defined by the bean container do not have to be called here; those will be applied by the loadView method after this method returns.

Subclasses will typically call super.buildView(viewName) first, before setting further properties themselves. loadView will then apply Spring lifecycle methods at the end of this process.

Overrides:

buildView in class UrlBasedViewResolver

Throws:

Exception
