Class PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.accept.MappingMediaTypeFileExtensionResolver

org.springframework.web.accept.AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

org.springframework.web.accept.PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentNegotiationStrategy, MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

ServletPathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy

public class PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy
extends AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

A ContentNegotiationStrategy that resolves the file extension in the request path to a key to be used to look up a media type.

If the file extension is not found in the explicit registrations provided to the constructor, the Java Activation Framework (JAF) is used as a fallback mechanism.

The presence of the JAF is detected and enabled automatically but the setUseJaf(boolean) property may be set to false.

Since:

3.2

Create an instance without any mappings to start with. Mappings may be added later on if any extensions are resolved through the Java Activation framework.

Method Detail

setUseJaf

public void setUseJaf(boolean useJaf)

Whether to use the Java Activation Framework to look up file extensions.

By default this is set to "true" but depends on JAF being present.

setIgnoreUnknownExtensions

public void setIgnoreUnknownExtensions(boolean ignoreUnknownExtensions)

Whether to ignore requests with unknown file extension. Setting this to false results in HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException.

By default this is set to true.

getMediaTypeKey

Description copied from class: AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

Specified by:

Returns:

handleNoMatch

protected MediaType handleNoMatch(NativeWebRequest webRequest,
                                  String extension)
