Class HandlerMethod

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.messaging.handler.HandlerMethod

Direct Known Subclasses:

InvocableHandlerMethod

public class HandlerMethod
extends Object

Encapsulates information about a bean method consisting of a method and a bean. Provides convenient access to method parameters, method return value, method annotations.

The class may be created with a bean instance or with a bean name (e.g. lazy bean, prototype bean). Use createWithResolvedBean() to obtain an HandlerMethod instance with a bean instance initialized through the bean factory.

Constructor Detail

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(Object bean,
                     Method method)

Create an instance from a bean instance and a method.

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(Object bean,
                     String methodName,
                     Class<?>... parameterTypes)
              throws NoSuchMethodException

Create an instance from a bean instance, method name, and parameter types.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - when the method cannot be found

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(String beanName,
                     BeanFactory beanFactory,
                     Method method)

Create an instance from a bean name, a method, and a BeanFactory. The method createWithResolvedBean() may be used later to re-create the HandlerMethod with an initialized the bean.

HandlerMethod

protected HandlerMethod(HandlerMethod handlerMethod)

Copy constructor for use in sub-classes.

Method Detail

getBean

public Object getBean()

Returns the bean for this handler method.

getMethod

public Method getMethod()

Returns the method for this handler method.

getBeanType

public Class<?> getBeanType()

Returns the type of the handler for this handler method. Note that if the bean type is a CGLIB-generated class, the original, user-defined class is returned.

getBridgedMethod

protected Method getBridgedMethod()

If the bean method is a bridge method, this method returns the bridged (user-defined) method. Otherwise it returns the same method as getMethod().

getMethodParameters

public MethodParameter[] getMethodParameters()

Returns the method parameters for this handler method.

getReturnType

public MethodParameter getReturnType()

Return the HandlerMethod return type.

getReturnValueType

public MethodParameter getReturnValueType(Object returnValue)

Return the actual return value type.

isVoid

public boolean isVoid()

Returns true if the method return type is void, false otherwise.

getMethodAnnotation

public <A extends Annotation> A getMethodAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Returns a single annotation on the underlying method traversing its super methods if no annotation can be found on the given method itself.

Parameters:

annotationType - the type of annotation to introspect the method for.

Returns:

the annotation, or null if none found

createWithResolvedBean

public HandlerMethod createWithResolvedBean()

If the provided instance contains a bean name rather than an object instance, the bean name is resolved before a HandlerMethod is created and returned.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
