public class ParameterizableViewController
extends AbstractController

Trivial controller that always returns a named view. The view can be configured using an exposed configuration property. This controller offers an alternative to sending a request straight to a view such as a JSP. The advantage here is that the client is not exposed to the concrete view technology but rather just to the controller URL; the concrete view will be determined by the ViewResolver.

Workflow (and that defined by superclass):

1. Render request is received by the controller
2. call to handleRenderRequestInternal which just returns the view, named by the configuration property viewName. Nothing more, nothing less

This controller does not handle action requests.

Exposed configuration properties (and those defined by superclass):

name	default	description
viewName	null	the name of the view the viewResolver will use to forward to (if this property is not set, an exception will be thrown during initialization)

Since:

2.0

setViewName

public void setViewName(String viewName)

Set the name of the view to delegate to.

getViewName

public String getViewName()

Return the name of the view to delegate to.

initApplicationContext

protected void initApplicationContext()

Description copied from class: ApplicationObjectSupport

Subclasses can override this for custom initialization behavior. Gets called by setApplicationContext after setting the context instance.

Note: Does not get called on reinitialization of the context but rather just on first initialization of this object's context reference.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class ApplicationObjectSupport

ApplicationObjectSupport.setApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext)

handleRenderRequestInternal

protected ModelAndView handleRenderRequestInternal(RenderRequest request,
                                                   RenderResponse response)
                                            throws Exception

Return a ModelAndView object with the specified view name.

Overrides:

handleRenderRequestInternal in class AbstractController

Throws:

Exception
