public class DispatcherPortlet
extends FrameworkPortlet

Central dispatcher for use within the Portlet MVC framework, e.g. for web UI controllers. Dispatches to registered handlers for processing a portlet request.

This portlet is very flexible: It can be used with just about any workflow, with the installation of the appropriate adapter classes. It offers the following functionality that distinguishes it from other request-driven portlet MVC frameworks:

• It is based around a JavaBeans configuration mechanism.
• It can use any HandlerMapping implementation - pre-built or provided as part of an application - to control the routing of requests to handler objects. Default is a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping. HandlerMapping objects can be defined as beans in the portlet's application context, implementing the HandlerMapping interface, overriding the default HandlerMapping if present. HandlerMappings can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
• It can use any HandlerAdapter; this allows for using any handler interface. The default adapter is SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter for Spring's Controller interface. A default AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter will be registered as well. HandlerAdapter objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the default HandlerAdapter. Like HandlerMappings, HandlerAdapters can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
• The dispatcher's exception resolution strategy can be specified via a HandlerExceptionResolver, for example mapping certain exceptions to error pages. Default is none. Additional HandlerExceptionResolvers can be added through the application context. HandlerExceptionResolver can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
• Its view resolution strategy can be specified via a ViewResolver implementation, resolving symbolic view names into View objects. Default is InternalResourceViewResolver. ViewResolver objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the default ViewResolver. ViewResolvers can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
• The dispatcher's strategy for resolving multipart requests is determined by a PortletMultipartResolver implementation. An implementations for Jakarta Commons FileUpload is included: CommonsPortletMultipartResolver. The MultipartResolver bean name is "portletMultipartResolver"; default is none.

NOTE: The @RequestMapping annotation will only be processed if a corresponding HandlerMapping (for type level annotations) and/or HandlerAdapter (for method level annotations) is present in the dispatcher. This is the case by default. However, if you are defining custom HandlerMappings or HandlerAdapters, then you need to make sure that a corresponding custom DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping and/or AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter is defined as well - provided that you intend to use @RequestMapping.

A web application can define any number of DispatcherPortlets. Each portlet will operate in its own namespace, loading its own application context with mappings, handlers, etc. Only the root application context as loaded by ContextLoaderListener, if any, will be shared.

Thanks to Rainer Schmitz and Nick Lothian for their suggestions!

See Also:

Constant Field Values

ACTION_EXCEPTION_SESSION_ATTRIBUTE

public static final java.lang.String ACTION_EXCEPTION_SESSION_ATTRIBUTE

Unlike the Servlet version of this class, we have to deal with the two-phase nature of the portlet request. To do this, we need to pass forward any exception that occurs during the action phase, so that it can be displayed in the render phase. The only direct way to pass things forward and preserve them for each render request is through render parameters, but these are limited to String objects and we need to pass the Exception itself. The only other way to do this is in the session. The bad thing about using the session is that we have no way of knowing when we are done re-rendering the request and so we don't know when we can remove the objects from the session. So we will end up polluting the session with an old exception when we finally leave the render phase of one request and move on to something else.

request - current portlet request

response - current portlet response

handler - the executed handler, or null if none chosen at the time of the exception (for example, if multipart resolution failed)

                                   throws java.lang.Exception

Trigger afterCompletion callbacks on the mapped HandlerInterceptors. Will just invoke afterCompletion for all interceptors whose preHandle invocation has successfully completed and returned true.

Parameters:

mappedHandler - the mapped HandlerExecutionChain

interceptorIndex - index of last interceptor that successfully completed

ex - Exception thrown on handler execution, or null if none

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
