org.springframework.web.method.annotation.AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

AbstractCookieValueMethodArgumentResolver, ExpressionValueMethodArgumentResolver, MatrixVariableMethodArgumentResolver, PathVariableMethodArgumentResolver, RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver, RequestParamMethodArgumentResolver

public abstract class AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver
extends Object
implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

Abstract base class for resolving method arguments from a named value. Request parameters, request headers, and path variables are examples of named values. Each may have a name, a required flag, and a default value.

Subclasses define how to do the following:

• Obtain named value information for a method parameter
• Resolve names into argument values
• Handle missing argument values when argument values are required
• Optionally handle a resolved value

A default value string can contain ${...} placeholders and Spring Expression Language #{...} expressions. For this to work a ConfigurableBeanFactory must be supplied to the class constructor.

A WebDataBinder is created to apply type conversion to the resolved argument value if it doesn't match the method parameter type.

Parameters:

beanFactory - a bean factory to use for resolving ${...} placeholder and #{...} SpEL expressions in default values, or null if default values are not expected to contain expressions

Method Detail

resolveArgument

public final Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter,
                     ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
                     NativeWebRequest webRequest,

                             throws Exception

Description copied from interface: HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

Resolves a method parameter into an argument value from a given request. A ModelAndViewContainer provides access to the model for the request. A WebDataBinderFactory provides a way to create a WebDataBinder instance when needed for data binding and type conversion purposes.

Specified by:

resolveArgument in interface HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

Parameters:

parameter - the method parameter to resolve. This parameter must have previously been passed to HandlerMethodArgumentResolver.supportsParameter(org.springframework.core.MethodParameter) and it must have returned true

mavContainer - the ModelAndViewContainer for the current request

webRequest - the current request

binderFactory - a factory for creating WebDataBinder instances

Returns:

the resolved argument value, or null.

Throws:

Exception - in case of errors with the preparation of argument values

createNamedValueInfo

protected abstract AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo createNamedValueInfo(MethodParameter parameter)

Create the AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo object for the given method parameter. Implementations typically retrieve the method annotation by means of MethodParameter.getParameterAnnotation(Class).

Parameters:

parameter - the method parameter

Returns:

the named value information

resolveName

protected abstract Object resolveName(String name,
                 MethodParameter parameter,
                 NativeWebRequest request)
                               throws Exception

Resolves the given parameter type and value name into an argument value.

Parameters:

name - the name of the value being resolved

parameter - the method parameter to resolve to an argument value

request - the current request

Returns:

the resolved argument. May be null

Throws:

Exception - in case of errors

handleMissingValue

protected abstract void handleMissingValue(String name,
                      MethodParameter parameter)
                                    throws ServletException

Invoked when a named value is required, but resolveName(String, MethodParameter, NativeWebRequest) returned null and there is no default value. Subclasses typically throw an exception in this case.

Parameters:

name - the name for the value

parameter - the method parameter

Throws:

ServletException

handleResolvedValue

protected void handleResolvedValue(Object arg,
                       String name,
                       MethodParameter parameter,
                       ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
                       NativeWebRequest webRequest)

Invoked after a value is resolved.

Parameters:

arg - the resolved argument value

name - the argument name

parameter - the argument parameter type

mavContainer - the ModelAndViewContainer, which may be null

webRequest - the current request
