public class MarshallingView
extends AbstractView

Spring-MVC View that allows for response context to be rendered as the result of marshalling by a Marshaller.

The Object to be marshalled is supplied as a parameter in the model and then detected during response rendering. Users can either specify a specific entry in the model via the sourceKey property or have Spring locate the Source object.

3.0

Constructor Detail

MarshallingView

public MarshallingView()

Constructs a new MarshallingView with no Marshaller set. The marshaller must be set after construction by invoking setMarshaller(Marshaller).

MarshallingView

public MarshallingView(Marshaller marshaller)

Constructs a new MarshallingView with the given Marshaller set.

Method Detail

setMarshaller

public void setMarshaller(Marshaller marshaller)

Sets the Marshaller to be used by this view.

setModelKey

public void setModelKey(String modelKey)

Set the name of the model key that represents the object to be marshalled. If not specified, the model map will be searched for a supported value type.

initApplicationContext

protected void initApplicationContext()
                               throws BeansException

Description copied from class: ApplicationObjectSupport

Subclasses can override this for custom initialization behavior.

The default implementation is empty. Called by ApplicationObjectSupport.initApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext).

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class ApplicationObjectSupport

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors

BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

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

renderMergedOutputModel

protected void renderMergedOutputModel(Map model,
                                       HttpServletRequest request,
                                       HttpServletResponse response)
                                throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractView

Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

Specified by:

renderMergedOutputModel in class AbstractView

Parameters:

model - combined output Map (never null), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

Throws:

Exception - if rendering failed

locateToBeMarshalled

protected Object locateToBeMarshalled(Map model)
                               throws ServletException

Locates the object to be marshalled. The default implementation first attempts to look under the configured model key, if any, before attempting to locate an object of supported type.

Parameters:

model - the model Map

Returns:

the Object to be marshalled (or null if none found)

Throws:

ServletException - if the model object specified by the model key is not supported by the marshaller
