All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, HandlerMapping

public class PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping
extends AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.PortletModeParameterLookupKey>

Implementation of the HandlerMapping interface to map from the current PortletMode and a request parameter to request handler beans. The mapping consists of two levels: first the PortletMode and then the parameter value. In order to be mapped, both elements must match the mapping definition.

This is a combination of the methods used in PortletModeHandlerMapping and ParameterHandlerMapping. Unlike those two classes, this mapping cannot be initialized with properties since it requires a two-level map.

The default name of the parameter is "action", but can be changed using setParameterName().

By default, the same parameter value may not be used in two different portlet modes. This is so that if the portal itself changes the portlet mode, the request will no longer be valid in the mapping. This behavior can be changed with setAllowDupParameters().

The bean configuration for this mapping will look somthing like this:

 <bean id="portletModeParameterHandlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping">
   <property name="portletModeParameterMap">
     <map>
       <entry key="view"> <!-- portlet mode: view -->
         <map>
           <entry key="add"><ref bean="addItemHandler"/></entry>
           <entry key="edit"><ref bean="editItemHandler"/></entry>
           <entry key="delete"><ref bean="deleteItemHandler"/></entry>
         </map>
       </entry>
       <entry key="edit"> <!-- portlet mode: edit -->
         <map>
           <entry key="prefs"><ref bean="preferencesHandler"/></entry>
           <entry key="resetPrefs"><ref bean="resetPreferencesHandler"/></entry>
         </map>
       </entry>
     </map>
   </property>
 </bean>

This mapping can be chained ahead of a PortletModeHandlerMapping, which can then provide defaults for each mode and an overall default as well.

Thanks to Rainer Schmitz and Yujin Kim for suggesting this mapping strategy!

Field Detail

DEFAULT_PARAMETER_NAME

public static final String DEFAULT_PARAMETER_NAME

Default request parameter name to use for mapping to handlers: "action".

PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping

public PortletModeParameterHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

setParameterName

public void setParameterName(String parameterName)

Set the name of the parameter used for mapping to handlers.

Default is "action".

setPortletModeParameterMap

public void setPortletModeParameterMap(Map<String,Map<String,?>> portletModeParameterMap)

Set a Map with portlet mode names as keys and another Map as values. The sub-map has parameter names as keys and handler bean or bean names as values.

Convenient for population with bean references.

Parameters:

portletModeParameterMap - two-level map of portlet modes and parameters to handler beans

setAllowDuplicateParameters

public void setAllowDuplicateParameters(boolean allowDuplicateParameters)

Set whether to allow duplicate parameter values across different portlet modes. Default is "false".

Doing this is dangerous because the portlet mode can be changed by the portal itself and the only way to see that is a rerender of the portlet. If the same parameter value is legal in multiple modes, then a change in mode could result in a matched mapping that is not intended and the user could end up in a strange place in the application.

initApplicationContext

public void initApplicationContext()
                            throws BeansException

Calls the registerHandlers method in addition to the superclass's initialization.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class AbstractHandlerMapping

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors

BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

See Also:

AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping.registerHandlers(java.util.Map<K, ?>)

registerHandlersByModeAndParameter

protected void registerHandlersByModeAndParameter(Map<String,Map<String,?>> portletModeParameterMap)

Register all handlers specified in the Portlet mode map for the corresponding modes.

Parameters:

portletModeParameterMap - Map with mode names as keys and parameter Maps as values

registerHandler

protected void registerHandler(PortletMode mode,
                               Map<String,?> parameterMap)

Register all handlers specified in the given parameter map.

Parameters:

parameterMap - Map with parameter names as keys and handler beans or bean names as values

registerHandler

protected void registerHandler(PortletMode mode,
                               String parameter,
                               Object handler)
                        throws BeansException,
                               IllegalStateException

Register the given handler instance for the given PortletMode and parameter value, under an appropriate lookup key.

Parameters:

mode - the PortletMode for which this mapping is valid

parameter - the parameter value to which this handler is mapped

handler - the handler instance bean

Throws:

BeansException - if the handler couldn't be registered

IllegalStateException - if there is a conflicting handler registered

AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping.registerHandler(Object, Object)

getLookupKey

protected org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.PortletModeParameterLookupKey getLookupKey(PortletRequest request)
                                                                                      throws Exception

Specified by:

getLookupKey in class AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.PortletModeParameterLookupKey>

Parameters:

Returns:

the lookup key (never null)

Throws:
