Class ParameterHandlerMapping

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport
      org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.AbstractHandlerMapping
          org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<String>
              org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.ParameterHandlerMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, HandlerMapping

public class ParameterHandlerMapping
extends AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<String>

Implementation of the HandlerMapping to map from a request parameter to request handler beans.

The default name of the parameter is "action", but can be changed using setParameterName().

The bean configuration for this mapping will look somthing like this:

 <bean id="parameterHandlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.ParameterHandlerMapping">
   <property name="parameterMap">
     <map>
             <entry key="add"><ref bean="addItemHandler"/></entry>
       <entry key="edit"><ref bean="editItemHandler"/></entry>
       <entry key="delete"><ref bean="deleteItemHandler"/></entry>
     </map>
   </property>
 </bean>

Thanks to Rainer Schmitz for suggesting this mapping strategy!

ParameterHandlerMapping

public ParameterHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

setParameterName

public void setParameterName(String parameterName)

Set the name of the parameter used for mapping to handlers.

Default is "action".

setParameterMap

public void setParameterMap(Map<String,?> parameterMap)

Set a Map with parameters as keys and handler beans or bean names as values. Convenient for population with bean references.

Parameters:

parameterMap - map with parameters as keys and beans as values

initApplicationContext

public void initApplicationContext()
                            throws BeansException

Calls the registerHandlers method in addition to the superclass's initialization.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class AbstractHandlerMapping

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors

BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping.registerHandlers(java.util.Map)

getLookupKey

protected String getLookupKey(PortletRequest request)
                       throws Exception

Uses the value of the specified parameter as lookup key.

Specified by:

getLookupKey in class AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<String>

Parameters:

request - current portlet request

Returns:

the lookup key (never null)

Throws:

Exception - if key computation failed
