Class AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.context.AbstractContextLoaderInitializer

org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

WebApplicationInitializer

public abstract class AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer
extends AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

Base class for WebApplicationInitializer implementations that register a DispatcherServlet configured with annotated classes, e.g. Spring's @Configuration classes.

Concrete implementations are required to implement getRootConfigClasses() and getServletConfigClasses() as well as AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer.getServletMappings(). Further template and customization methods are provided by AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer.

This is the preferred approach for applications that use Java-based Spring configuration.

Method Detail

createRootApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext createRootApplicationContext()

Create the "root" application context to be provided to the ContextLoaderListener.

The returned context is delegated to ContextLoaderListener.ContextLoaderListener(WebApplicationContext) and will be established as the parent context for any DispatcherServlet application contexts. As such, it typically contains middle-tier services, data sources, etc.

This implementation creates an AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext, providing it the annotated classes returned by getRootConfigClasses(). Returns null if getRootConfigClasses() returns null.

Specified by:

createRootApplicationContext in class AbstractContextLoaderInitializer

Returns:

the root application context, or null if a root context is not desired

See Also:

AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

createServletApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext createServletApplicationContext()

Create a servlet application context to be provided to the DispatcherServlet.

The returned context is delegated to Spring's DispatcherServlet.DispatcherServlet(WebApplicationContext). As such, it typically contains controllers, view resolvers, locale resolvers, and other web-related beans.

This implementation creates an AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext, providing it the annotated classes returned by getServletConfigClasses().

Specified by:

createServletApplicationContext in class AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

See Also:

AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer.registerDispatcherServlet(ServletContext)

getRootConfigClasses

protected abstract Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses()

Specify @Configuration and/or @Component classes to be provided to the root application context.

Returns:

the configuration classes for the root application context, or null if creation and registration of a root context is not desired

getServletConfigClasses

protected abstract Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses()

Specify @Configuration and/or @Component classes to be provided to the dispatcher servlet application context.

Returns:

the configuration classes for the dispatcher servlet application context or null if all configuration is specified through root config classes.
