All Implemented Interfaces:

ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, ServletContextAware, HandlerMapping

public class BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping
extends AbstractUrlHandlerMapping

Implementation of the HandlerMapping interface that map from URLs to beans with names that start with a slash ("/"), similar to how Struts maps URLs to action names.

This is the default implementation used by the DispatcherServlet, but it is somewhat naive. A SimpleUrlHandlerMapping or a custom handler mapping should be used by preference.

The mapping is from URL to bean name. Thus an incoming URL "/foo" would map to a handler named "/foo", or to "/foo /foo2" in case of multiple mappings to a single handler. Note: In XML definitions, you'll need to use an alias name="/foo" in the bean definition, as the XML id may not contain slashes.

Supports direct matches (given "/test" -> registered "/test") and "*" matches (given "/test" -> registered "/t*"). Note that the default is to map within the current servlet mapping if applicable; see the "alwaysUseFullPath" property for details. For details on the pattern options, see the AntPathMatcher javadoc.

Constructor Detail

BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping

public BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

setDetectHandlersInAncestorContexts

public void setDetectHandlersInAncestorContexts(boolean detectHandlersInAncestorContexts)

Set whether to detect handler beans in ancestor ApplicationContexts.

Default is "false": Only handler beans in the current ApplicationContext will be detected, that is, only in the context that this BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping itself is defined in (typically the current DispatcherServlet's context).

Switch this flag on to detect handler beans in ancestor contexts (typically the Spring root WebApplicationContext) as well.

initApplicationContext

public void initApplicationContext()
                            throws ApplicationContextException

Calls the detectHandlers() method in addition to the superclass's initialization.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class AbstractHandlerMapping

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors

See Also:

AbstractHandlerMapping.initInterceptors()

detectHandlers

protected void detectHandlers()
                       throws BeansException

Register all handlers found in the current ApplicationContext. Any bean whose name appears to be a URL is considered a handler.

Throws:

BeansException - if the handler couldn't be registered

See Also:

determineUrlsForHandler(java.lang.String)

determineUrlsForHandler

protected String[] determineUrlsForHandler(String beanName)

Check name and aliases of the given bean for URLs, detected by starting with "/".

Parameters:

beanName - the name of the candidate bean

Returns:

the URLs determined for the bean, or an empty array if none
