Class RequestConditionHolder

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.condition.AbstractRequestCondition<RequestConditionHolder>

org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.condition.RequestConditionHolder

All Implemented Interfaces:

RequestCondition<RequestConditionHolder>

public final class RequestConditionHolder
extends AbstractRequestCondition<RequestConditionHolder>

A holder for a RequestCondition useful when the type of the request condition is not known ahead of time, e.g. custom condition. Since this class is also an implementation of RequestCondition, effectively it decorates the held request condition and allows it to be combined and compared with other request conditions in a type and null safe way.

When two RequestConditionHolder instances are combined or compared with each other, it is expected the conditions they hold are of the same type. If they are not, a ClassCastException is raised.

Since:

3.1
