A constructor accepting a default charset to use if the requested content type does not specify one.

Method Detail

setWriteAcceptCharset

public void setWriteAcceptCharset(boolean writeAcceptCharset)
Indicates whether the Accept-Charset should be written to any outgoing request.

Default is true.


supports

public boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)
Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
Indicates whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Specified by:
supports in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<String>
Parameters:
clazz - the class to test for support
Returns:
true if supported; false otherwise

readInternal

protected String readInternal(Class clazz,
                              HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                       throws IOException
Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
Abstract template method that reads the actualy object. Invoked from AbstractHttpMessageConverter.read(java.lang.Class, org.springframework.http.HttpInputMessage).

Specified by:
readInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<String>
Parameters:
clazz - the type of object to return
inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from
Returns:
the converted object
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O errors

getContentLength

protected Long getContentLength(String s,
                                MediaType contentType)
Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
Returns the content length for the given type.

By default, this returns null, meaning that the content length is unknown. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Overrides:
getContentLength in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<String>
Parameters:
s - the type to return the content length for
Returns:
the content length, or null if not known

writeInternal

protected void writeInternal(String s,
                             HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
                      throws IOException
Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
Abstract template method that writes the actual body. Invoked from AbstractHttpMessageConverter.write(T, org.springframework.http.MediaType, org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage).

Specified by:
writeInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<String>
Parameters:
s - the object to write to the output message
outputMessage - the message to write to
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O errors

getAcceptedCharsets

protected List<Charset> getAcceptedCharsets()
Return the list of supported Charset.

By default, returns Charset.availableCharsets(). Can be overridden in subclasses.

Returns:
the list of accepted charsets
