Class UrlBasedViewResolver

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.reactive.result.view.ViewResolverSupport

org.springframework.web.reactive.result.view.UrlBasedViewResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, InitializingBean, ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, ViewResolver

Direct Known Subclasses:

FreeMarkerViewResolver, ScriptTemplateViewResolver

public class UrlBasedViewResolver
extends ViewResolverSupport
implements ViewResolver, ApplicationContextAware, InitializingBean

A ViewResolver that allow direct resolution of symbolic view names to URLs without explicit mapping definition. This is useful if symbolic names match the names of view resources in a straightforward manner (i.e. the symbolic name is the unique part of the resource's filename), without the need for a dedicated mapping to be defined for each view.

Supports AbstractUrlBasedView subclasses like FreeMarkerView. The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified via the "viewClass" property.

View names can either be resource URLs themselves, or get augmented by a specified prefix and/or suffix. Exporting an attribute that holds the RequestContext to all views is explicitly supported.

Example: prefix="templates/", suffix=".ftl", viewname="test" -> "templates/test.ftl"

As a special feature, redirect URLs can be specified via the "redirect:" prefix. E.g.: "redirect:myAction" will trigger a redirect to the given URL, rather than resolution as standard view name. This is typically used for redirecting to a controller URL after finishing a form workflow.

Note: This class does not support localized resolution, i.e. resolving a symbolic view name to different resources depending on the current locale.

Field Detail

REDIRECT_URL_PREFIX

public static final String REDIRECT_URL_PREFIX

Prefix for special view names that specify a redirect URL (usually to a controller after a form has been submitted and processed). Such view names will not be resolved in the configured default way but rather be treated as special shortcut.

Method Detail

setViewClass

public void setViewClass(@Nullable
                         Class<?> viewClass)

Set the view class to instantiate through createView(String).

Parameters:

viewClass - a class that is assignable to the required view class which by default is AbstractUrlBasedView

getViewClass

@Nullable
protected Class<?> getViewClass()

Return the view class to be used to create views.

requiredViewClass

protected Class<?> requiredViewClass()

Return the required type of view for this resolver. This implementation returns AbstractUrlBasedView.

See Also:

AbstractUrlBasedView

setPrefix

public void setPrefix(@Nullable
                      String prefix)

Set the prefix that gets prepended to view names when building a URL.

getPrefix

protected String getPrefix()

Return the prefix that gets prepended to view names when building a URL.

setSuffix

public void setSuffix(@Nullable
                      String suffix)

Set the suffix that gets appended to view names when building a URL.

getSuffix

protected String getSuffix()

Return the suffix that gets appended to view names when building a URL.

setViewNames

public void setViewNames(@Nullable
                         String... viewNames)

Set the view names (or name patterns) that can be handled by this ViewResolver. View names can contain simple wildcards such that 'my*', '*Report' and '*Repo*' will all match the view name 'myReport'.

See Also:

canHandle(java.lang.String, java.util.Locale)

getViewNames

@Nullable
protected String[] getViewNames()

Return the view names (or name patterns) that can be handled by this ViewResolver.

setRedirectViewProvider

public void setRedirectViewProvider(Function<String,RedirectView> redirectViewProvider)

URL based RedirectView provider which can be used to provide, for example, redirect views with a custom default status code.

setRequestContextAttribute

public void setRequestContextAttribute(@Nullable
                                       String requestContextAttribute)

Set the name of the RequestContext attribute for all views.

Parameters:

requestContextAttribute - name of the RequestContext attribute

AbstractView.setRequestContextAttribute(java.lang.String)

getRequestContextAttribute

@Nullable
protected String getRequestContextAttribute()

Accept the containing ApplicationContext, if any.

To be used for the initialization of newly created View instances, applying lifecycle callbacks and providing access to the containing environment.

Specified by:

setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

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.

resolveViewName

public reactor.core.publisher.Mono<View> resolveViewName(String viewName,

Description copied from interface: ViewResolver

Resolve the view name to a View instance.

Specified by:

resolveViewName in interface ViewResolver

Parameters:

viewName - the name of the view to resolve

locale - the locale for the request

Returns:

the resolved view or an empty stream

canHandle

protected boolean canHandle(String viewName,
                            Locale locale)

Indicates whether or not this ViewResolver can handle the supplied view name. If not, an empty result is returned. The default implementation checks against the configured view names.

Parameters:

viewName - the name of the view to retrieve

locale - the Locale to retrieve the view for

Returns:

whether this resolver applies to the specified view

PatternMatchUtils.simpleMatch(String, String)

createView

protected AbstractUrlBasedView createView(String viewName)

Creates a new View instance of the specified view class and configures it. Does not perform any lookup for pre-defined View instances.

Spring lifecycle methods as defined by the bean container do not have to be called here: They will be automatically applied afterwards, provided that an ApplicationContext is available.

Parameters:

viewName - the name of the view to build

Returns:

the View instance
