public abstract class AbstractHandlerMapping
extends WebApplicationObjectSupport
implements HandlerMapping, Ordered

Abstract base class for HandlerMapping implementations. Supports ordering, a default handler, handler interceptors, including handler interceptors mapped by path patterns.

Note: This base class does not support exposure of the HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE. Support for this attribute is up to concrete subclasses, typically based on request URL mappings.

Method Detail

setOrder

public final void setOrder(int order)

Specify the order value for this HandlerMapping bean.

Default value is Integer.MAX_VALUE, meaning that it's non-ordered.

See Also:

Ordered.getOrder()

getOrder

public final int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

Normally starting with 0, with Integer.MAX_VALUE indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value

setDefaultHandler

public void setDefaultHandler(Object defaultHandler)

Set the default handler for this handler mapping. This handler will be returned if no specific mapping was found.

Default is null, indicating no default handler.

getDefaultHandler

public Object getDefaultHandler()

Return the default handler for this handler mapping, or null if none.

setAlwaysUseFullPath

public void setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean alwaysUseFullPath)

Set if URL lookup should always use the full path within the current servlet context. Else, the path within the current servlet mapping is used if applicable (that is, in the case of a ".../*" servlet mapping in web.xml).

Default is "false".

See Also:

UrlPathHelper.setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean)

setUrlDecode

public void setUrlDecode(boolean urlDecode)

Set if context path and request URI should be URL-decoded. Both are returned undecoded by the Servlet API, in contrast to the servlet path.

Uses either the request encoding or the default encoding according to the Servlet spec (ISO-8859-1).

See Also:

UrlPathHelper.setUrlDecode(boolean)

setRemoveSemicolonContent

public void setRemoveSemicolonContent(boolean removeSemicolonContent)

Set if ";" (semicolon) content should be stripped from the request URI.

The default value is true.

See Also:

UrlPathHelper.setRemoveSemicolonContent(boolean)

setUrlPathHelper

public void setUrlPathHelper(UrlPathHelper urlPathHelper)

Set the UrlPathHelper to use for resolution of lookup paths.

Use this to override the default UrlPathHelper with a custom subclass, or to share common UrlPathHelper settings across multiple HandlerMappings and MethodNameResolvers.

getUrlPathHelper

public UrlPathHelper getUrlPathHelper()

Return the UrlPathHelper implementation to use for resolution of lookup paths.

setPathMatcher

public void setPathMatcher(PathMatcher pathMatcher)

Set the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns. Default is AntPathMatcher.

See Also:

AntPathMatcher

getPathMatcher

public PathMatcher getPathMatcher()

Return the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns.

setInterceptors

public void setInterceptors(Object[] interceptors)

Set the interceptors to apply for all handlers mapped by this handler mapping.

Supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor, WebRequestInterceptor, and MappedInterceptor. Mapped interceptors apply only to request URLs that match its path patterns. Mapped interceptor beans are also detected by type during initialization.

Parameters:

interceptors - array of handler interceptors, or null if none

See Also:

adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object), HandlerInterceptor, WebRequestInterceptor

initApplicationContext

protected void initApplicationContext()
                               throws BeansException

Initializes the interceptors.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class ApplicationObjectSupport

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors

BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

See Also:

extendInterceptors(java.util.List), initInterceptors()

extendInterceptors

protected void extendInterceptors(List<Object> interceptors)

Extension hook that subclasses can override to register additional interceptors, given the configured interceptors (see setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])).

Will be invoked before initInterceptors() adapts the specified interceptors into HandlerInterceptor instances.

The default implementation is empty.

Parameters:

interceptors - the configured interceptor List (never null), allowing to add further interceptors before as well as after the existing interceptors

detectMappedInterceptors

protected void detectMappedInterceptors(List<MappedInterceptor> mappedInterceptors)

Detect beans of type MappedInterceptor and add them to the list of mapped interceptors.

This is called in addition to any MappedInterceptors that may have been provided via setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[]), by default adding all beans of type MappedInterceptor from the current context and its ancestors. Subclasses can override and refine this policy.

Parameters:

mappedInterceptors - an empty list to add MappedInterceptor instances to

initInterceptors

protected void initInterceptors()

Initialize the specified interceptors, checking for MappedInterceptors and adapting HandlerInterceptors and WebRequestInterceptors if necessary.

See Also:

setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[]), adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object)

adaptInterceptor

protected HandlerInterceptor adaptInterceptor(Object interceptor)

Adapt the given interceptor object to the HandlerInterceptor interface.

By default, the supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor and WebRequestInterceptor. Each given WebRequestInterceptor will be wrapped in a WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

interceptor - the specified interceptor object

Returns:

the interceptor wrapped as HandlerInterceptor

See Also:

HandlerInterceptor, WebRequestInterceptor, WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter

getAdaptedInterceptors

protected final HandlerInterceptor[] getAdaptedInterceptors()

Return the adapted interceptors as HandlerInterceptor array.

Returns:

the array of HandlerInterceptors, or null if none

getMappedInterceptors

protected final MappedInterceptor[] getMappedInterceptors()

Return all configured MappedInterceptors as an array.

Returns:

the array of MappedInterceptors, or null if none

getHandler

public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(HttpServletRequest request)
                                       throws Exception

Look up a handler for the given request, falling back to the default handler if no specific one is found.

Specified by:

getHandler in interface HandlerMapping

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the corresponding handler instance, or the default handler

Throws:

Exception - if there is an internal error

See Also:

getHandlerInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)

getHandlerInternal

protected abstract Object getHandlerInternal(HttpServletRequest request)
                                      throws Exception

Look up a handler for the given request, returning null if no specific one is found. This method is called by getHandler(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest); a null return value will lead to the default handler, if one is set.

Note: This method may also return a pre-built HandlerExecutionChain, combining a handler object with dynamically determined interceptors. Statically specified interceptors will get merged into such an existing chain.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the corresponding handler instance, or null if none found

Throws:

Exception - if there is an internal error

getHandlerExecutionChain

protected HandlerExecutionChain getHandlerExecutionChain(Object handler,
                                                         HttpServletRequest request)

Build a HandlerExecutionChain for the given handler, including applicable interceptors.

The default implementation builds a standard HandlerExecutionChain with the given handler, the handler mapping's common interceptors, and any MappedInterceptors matching to the current request URL. Subclasses may override this in order to extend/rearrange the list of interceptors.

NOTE: The passed-in handler object may be a raw handler or a pre-built HandlerExecutionChain. This method should handle those two cases explicitly, either building a new HandlerExecutionChain or extending the existing chain.

For simply adding an interceptor in a custom subclass, consider calling super.getHandlerExecutionChain(handler, request) and invoking HandlerExecutionChain.addInterceptor(org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerInterceptor) on the returned chain object.

Parameters:

handler - the resolved handler instance (never null)

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the HandlerExecutionChain (never null)
