public class ServletForwardingController
- extends AbstractController
- implements BeanNameAware
Spring Controller implementation that forwards to a named servlet,
i.e. the "servlet-name" in web.xml rather than a URL path mapping.
A target servlet doesn't even need a "servlet-mapping" in web.xml
in the first place: A "servlet" declaration is sufficient.
Useful to invoke an existing servlet via Spring's dispatching infrastructure,
for example to apply Spring HandlerInterceptors to its requests. This will work
even in a minimal Servlet container that does not support Servlet filters.
Example: web.xml, mapping all "/myservlet" requests to a Spring dispatcher.
Also defines a custom "myServlet", but without servlet mapping.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>mypackage.TestServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>myDispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myDispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myservlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Example: myDispatcher-servlet.xml, in turn forwarding "/myservlet" to your
servlet (identified by servlet name). All such requests will go through the
configured HandlerInterceptor chain (e.g. an OpenSessionInViewInterceptor).
From the servlet point of view, everything will work as usual.
<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="interceptors">
<list>
<ref bean="openSessionInViewInterceptor"/>
</list>
</property>
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/myservlet">myServletForwardingController</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="myServletForwardingController" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ServletForwardingController">
<property name="servletName"><value>myServlet</value></property>
</bean>

ServletForwardingController
public ServletForwardingController()
setServletName
public void setServletName(java.lang.String servletName)
- Set the name of the servlet to forward to,
i.e. the "servlet-name" of the target servlet in web.xml.
Default is the bean name of this controller.
setBeanName
public void setBeanName(java.lang.String name)
- Description copied from interface:
BeanNameAware
- Set the name of the bean in the bean factory that created this bean.
Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an
init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet()
or a custom init-method.
- Specified by:
setBeanName
in interface BeanNameAware
- Parameters:
name
- the name of the bean in the factory.
Note that this name is the actual bean name used in the factory, which may
differ from the originally specified name: in particular for inner bean
names, the actual bean name might have been made unique through appending
"#..." suffixes. Use the BeanFactoryUtils.originalBeanName(String)
method to extract the original bean name (without suffix), if desired.
handleRequestInternal
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws java.lang.Exception
- Description copied from class:
AbstractController
- Template method. Subclasses must implement this.
The contract is the same as for
handleRequest
.
- Specified by:
handleRequestInternal
in class AbstractController
- Throws:
java.lang.Exception
- See Also:
AbstractController.handleRequest(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)
useInclude
protected boolean useInclude(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
- Determine whether to use RequestDispatcher's
include
or
forward
method.
Performs a check whether an include URI attribute is found in the request,
indicating an include request, and whether the response has already been committed.
In both cases, an include will be performed, as a forward is not possible anymore.
- Parameters:
request
- current HTTP requestresponse
- current HTTP response
- Returns:
true
for include, false
for forward- See Also:
