Constructor Detail

AbstractUrlBasedView

protected AbstractUrlBasedView()

Constructor for use as a bean.

AbstractUrlBasedView

protected AbstractUrlBasedView(String url)

Create a new AbstractUrlBasedView with the given URL.

Parameters:

url - the URL to forward to

Method Detail

setUrl

public void setUrl(String url)

Set the URL of the resource that this view wraps. The URL must be appropriate for the concrete View implementation.

getUrl

public String getUrl()

Return the URL of the resource that this view wraps.

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

isUrlRequired

protected boolean isUrlRequired()

Return whether the 'url' property is required.

The default implementation returns true. This can be overridden in subclasses.

checkResource

public boolean checkResource(Locale locale)
                      throws Exception

Check whether the underlying resource that the configured URL points to actually exists.

Parameters:

locale - the desired Locale that we're looking for

Returns:

true if the resource exists (or is assumed to exist); false if we know that it does not exist

Throws:

Exception - if the resource exists but is invalid (e.g. could not be parsed)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractView
