org.springframework.http.converter.ResourceHttpMessageConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

HttpMessageConverter<Resource>

public class ResourceHttpMessageConverter
extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Implementation of HttpMessageConverter that can read/write Resources and supports byte range requests.

By default, this converter can read all media types. The Java Activation Framework (JAF) - if available - is used to determine the Content-Type of written resources. If JAF is not available, application/octet-stream is used.

public ResourceHttpMessageConverter()

Method Detail

supports

protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz)

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Indicates whether the given class is supported by this converter.

Specified by:

supports in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

clazz - the class to test for support

Returns:

true if supported; false otherwise

readInternal

protected Resource readInternal(Class<? extends Resource> clazz,
                                HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                         throws IOException,
                                HttpMessageNotReadableException

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Abstract template method that reads the actual object. Invoked from AbstractHttpMessageConverter.read(java.lang.Class<? extends T>, org.springframework.http.HttpInputMessage).

Specified by:

readInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

clazz - the type of object to return

inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from

Returns:

the converted object

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O errors

HttpMessageNotReadableException - in case of conversion errors

getDefaultContentType

protected MediaType getDefaultContentType(Resource resource)

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Returns the default content type for the given type. Called when AbstractHttpMessageConverter.write(T, org.springframework.http.MediaType, org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage) is invoked without a specified content type parameter.

By default, this returns the first element of the supportedMediaTypes property, if any. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Overrides:

getDefaultContentType in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

resource - the type to return the content type for

Returns:

the content type, or null if not known

getContentLength

protected Long getContentLength(Resource resource,
                                MediaType contentType)
                         throws IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Returns the content length for the given type.

By default, this returns null, meaning that the content length is unknown. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Overrides:

getContentLength in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

resource - the type to return the content length for

Returns:

the content length, or null if not known

Throws:

IOException

writeInternal

protected void writeInternal(Resource resource,
                             HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
                      throws IOException,
                             HttpMessageNotWritableException

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

Abstract template method that writes the actual body. Invoked from AbstractHttpMessageConverter.write(T, org.springframework.http.MediaType, org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage).

Specified by:

writeInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

resource - the object to write to the output message

outputMessage - the HTTP output message to write to

Throws:

IOException - in case of I/O errors

HttpMessageNotWritableException - in case of conversion errors

writeContent

protected void writeContent(Resource resource,
                            HttpOutputMessage outputMessage)
                     throws IOException,
                            HttpMessageNotWritableException

Throws:
