org.springframework.web.context.request
Class SessionScope

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.context.request.AbstractRequestAttributesScope
      org.springframework.web.context.request.SessionScope

All Implemented Interfaces:

Scope

public class SessionScope
extends AbstractRequestAttributesScope

Session-backed Scope implementation. Relies on a thread-bound RequestAttributes instance, which can be exported through RequestContextListener, RequestContextFilter or DispatcherServlet.

This Scope will also work for Portlet environments, through an alternate RequestAttributes implementation (as exposed out-of-the-box by Spring's DispatcherPortlet).

Since:

2.0

Constructor Summary

SessionScope()
Create a new SessionScope, storing attributes in a locally isolated session.

SessionScope(boolean globalSession)

Method Summary

Object	get(String name, ObjectFactory objectFactory) Return the object from the underlying scope, creating it if not found.
String	getConversationId() Return the conversation id for the current underlying scope, if any.
protected int	getScope() Template method that determines the actual target scope.
Object	remove(String name) Remove the object with the given name from the underlying scope.

Constructor Detail

SessionScope

public SessionScope()

Create a new SessionScope, storing attributes in a locally isolated session.

SessionScope

public SessionScope(boolean globalSession)

Create a new SessionScope, specifying whether to store attributes in the global session, provided that such a distinction is available.

This distinction is important for Portlet environments, where there are two notions of a session: "portlet scope" and "application scope". If this flag is on, objects will be put into the "application scope" session; else they will end up in the "portlet scope" session (the typical default).

In a Servlet environment, this flag is effectively ignored.

protected int getScope()

Description copied from class: AbstractRequestAttributesScope

Template method that determines the actual target scope. To be implemented by subclasses.

Specified by:

getScope in class AbstractRequestAttributesScope

Returns:

the target scope, in the form of an appropriate RequestAttributes constant

getConversationId

public String getConversationId()

Description copied from interface: Scope

Return the conversation id for the current underlying scope, if any.

Returns:

the conversation id, or null if there is no conversation id concept for this scope

get

Return the object from the underlying scope, creating it if not found.

Specified by:

get in interface Scope

Overrides:

get in class AbstractRequestAttributesScope

Parameters:

name - the name to bind with

objectFactory - the ObjectFactory used to create the scoped object if not present

Returns:

the desired object

remove

public Object remove(String name)

Description copied from interface: Scope
