Method Detail

setViewResolvers

public void setViewResolvers(List<ViewResolver> viewResolvers)

Set the list of view viewResolvers to delegate to.

getViewResolvers

public List<ViewResolver> getViewResolvers()

Return the list of view viewResolvers to delegate to.

setOrder

public void setOrder(int order)

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Get the order value of this object.

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

Same order values will result in arbitrary sort positions for the affected objects.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value

Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE, Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE

setApplicationContext

public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)
                           throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: ApplicationContextAware

Set the ApplicationContext that this object runs in. Normally this call will be used to initialize the object.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method. Invoked after ResourceLoaderAware.setResourceLoader(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader), ApplicationEventPublisherAware.setApplicationEventPublisher(org.springframework.context.ApplicationEventPublisher) and MessageSourceAware, if applicable.

Specified by:

setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware

Parameters:

applicationContext - the ApplicationContext object to be used by this object

Throws:

ApplicationContextException - in case of context initialization errors

BeansException - if thrown by application context methods

See Also:

BeanInitializationException

setServletContext

public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)

Description copied from interface: ServletContextAware

Set the ServletContext that this object runs in.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked after ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:

setServletContext in interface ServletContextAware

Parameters:

servletContext - ServletContext object to be used by this object

See Also:

InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet(), ApplicationContextAware.setApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext)

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by the containing BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties and satisfied BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware etc.

This method allows the bean instance to perform validation of its overall configuration and final initialization when all bean properties have been set.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

Exception - in the event of misconfiguration (such as failure to set an essential property) or if initialization fails for any other reason

resolveViewName

public View resolveViewName(String viewName,
                            Locale locale)
                     throws Exception

Description copied from interface: ViewResolver

Resolve the given view by name.

Note: To allow for ViewResolver chaining, a ViewResolver should return null if a view with the given name is not defined in it. However, this is not required: Some ViewResolvers will always attempt to build View objects with the given name, unable to return null (rather throwing an exception when View creation failed).

Specified by:

resolveViewName in interface ViewResolver

Parameters:

viewName - name of the view to resolve

locale - Locale in which to resolve the view. ViewResolvers that support internationalization should respect this.

Returns:

the View object, or null if not found (optional, to allow for ViewResolver chaining)

Throws:

Exception - if the view cannot be resolved (typically in case of problems creating an actual View object)
