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.

Constructor Detail

PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy

public PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy(Map<String,MediaType> mediaTypes)

Create an instance with the given map of file extensions and media types.

PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy

public PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy()

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

protected String getMediaTypeKey(NativeWebRequest webRequest)

Description copied from class: AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

Extract a key from the request to use to look up media types.

Specified by:

getMediaTypeKey in class AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

Returns:

the lookup key or null.

handleNoMatch

protected MediaType handleNoMatch(NativeWebRequest webRequest,
                                  String extension)
                           throws HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException

Description copied from class: AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

Override to provide handling when a key is not resolved via. MappingMediaTypeFileExtensionResolver.lookupMediaType(java.lang.String). Sub-classes can take further steps to determine the media type(s). If a MediaType is returned from this method it will be added to the cache in the base class.

Overrides:

handleNoMatch in class AbstractMappingContentNegotiationStrategy

Throws:

HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException

getMediaTypeForResource

public MediaType getMediaTypeForResource(Resource resource)

A public method exposing the knowledge of the path extension strategy to resolve file extensions to a MediaType in this case for a given Resource. The method first looks up any explicitly registered file extensions first and then falls back on JAF if available.

Parameters:

resource - the resource to look up

Returns:

the MediaType for the extension or null.
