public abstract class HttpServletBean extends HttpServlet implements EnvironmentCapable, EnvironmentAware
HttpServlet
which treats
its config parameters (init-param
entries within the
servlet
tag in web.xml
) as bean properties.
A handy superclass for any type of servlet. Type conversion of config parameters is automatic, with the corresponding setter method getting invoked with the converted value. It is also possible for subclasses to specify required properties. Parameters without matching bean property setter will simply be ignored.
This servlet leaves request handling to subclasses, inheriting the default
behavior of HttpServlet (doGet
, doPost
, etc).
This generic servlet base class has no dependency on the Spring
ApplicationContext
concept. Simple
servlets usually don't load their own context but rather access service
beans from the Spring root application context, accessible via the
filter's ServletContext
(see
WebApplicationContextUtils
).
The FrameworkServlet
class is a more specific servlet base
class which loads its own application context. FrameworkServlet serves
as direct base class of Spring's full-fledged DispatcherServlet
.

addRequiredProperty(String property)
Subclasses can invoke this method to specify that this property
(which must match a JavaBean property they expose) is mandatory,
and must be supplied as a config parameter.

Map config parameters onto bean properties of this servlet, and
invoke subclass initialization.

Initialize the BeanWrapper for this HttpServletBean,
possibly with custom editors.
