open class AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext : AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext, AnnotationConfigRegistry
org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext implementation which accepts annotated classes as input - in particular org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration-annotated classes, but also plain org.springframework.stereotype.Component classes and JSR-330 compliant classes using This is essentially the equivalent of org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext for a web environment. To make use of this application context, the "contextClass" context-param for ContextLoader and/or "contextClass" init-param for FrameworkServlet must be set to the fully-qualified name of this class. As of Spring 3.1, this class may also be directly instantiated and injected into Spring's Unlike XmlWebApplicationContext, no default configuration class locations are assumed. Rather, it is a requirement to set the "contextConfigLocation" context-param for ContextLoader and/or "contextConfigLocation" init-param for FrameworkServlet. The param-value may contain both fully-qualified class names and base packages to scan for components. See As an alternative to setting the "contextConfigLocation" parameter, users may implement an org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextInitializer and set the "contextInitializerClasses" context-param / init-param. In such cases, users should favor the Note: In case of multiple |

open class ContextExposingHttpServletRequest : HttpServletRequestWrapper
HttpServletRequest decorator that makes all Spring beans in a given WebApplicationContext accessible as request attributes, through lazy checking once an attribute gets accessed. |
|
open class GroovyWebApplicationContext : AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext, GroovyObject
org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext implementation which takes its configuration from Groovy bean definition scripts and/or XML files, as understood by an org.springframework.beans.factory.groovy.GroovyBeanDefinitionReader. This is essentially the equivalent of org.springframework.context.support.GenericGroovyApplicationContext for a web environment. By default, the configuration will be taken from "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.groovy" for the root context, and "/WEB-INF/test-servlet.groovy" for a context with the namespace "test-servlet" (like for a DispatcherServlet instance with the servlet-name "test"). The config location defaults can be overridden via the "contextConfigLocation" context-param of org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader and servlet init-param of org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet. Config locations can either denote concrete files like "/WEB-INF/context.groovy" or Ant-style patterns like "/WEB-INF/*-context.groovy" (see org.springframework.util.PathMatcher javadoc for pattern details). Note that ".xml" files will be parsed as XML content; all other kinds of resources will be parsed as Groovy scripts. Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will override ones defined in earlier loaded files. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra Groovy script. For a WebApplicationContext that reads in a different bean definition format, create an analogous subclass of AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext. Such a context implementation can be specified as "contextClass" context-param for ContextLoader or "contextClass" init-param for FrameworkServlet. |

open class HttpRequestHandlerServlet : HttpServlet
Simple HttpServlet that delegates to an HttpRequestHandler bean defined in Spring's root web application context. The target bean name must match the HttpRequestHandlerServlet servlet-name as defined in This can for example be used to expose a single Spring remote exporter, such as org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter or org.springframework.remoting.caucho.HessianServiceExporter, per HttpRequestHandlerServlet definition. This is a minimal alternative to defining remote exporters as beans in a DispatcherServlet context (with advanced mapping and interception facilities being available there). |
|
open class LiveBeansViewServlet : HttpServlet
Servlet variant of LiveBeansView's MBean exposure. Generates a JSON snapshot for current beans and their dependencies in all ApplicationContexts that live within the current web application. |
|
open class RequestHandledEvent : ApplicationEvent
Event raised when a request is handled within an ApplicationContext. Supported by Spring's own FrameworkServlet (through a specific ServletRequestHandledEvent subclass), but can also be raised by any other web component. Used, for example, by Spring's out-of-the-box PerformanceMonitorListener. |
|
open class ServletConfigPropertySource : EnumerablePropertySource<ServletConfig>
PropertySource that reads init parameters from a ServletConfig object. |
|
open class ServletContextAttributeExporter : ServletContextAware
Exporter that takes Spring-defined objects and exposes them as ServletContext attributes. Usually, bean references will be used to export Spring-defined beans as ServletContext attributes. Useful to make Spring-defined beans available to code that is not aware of Spring at all, but rather just of the Servlet API. Client code can then use plain ServletContext attribute lookups to access those objects, despite them being defined in a Spring application context. Alternatively, consider using the WebApplicationContextUtils class to access Spring-defined beans via the WebApplicationContext interface. This makes client code aware of Spring API, of course. |
|
open class ServletContextAttributeFactoryBean : FactoryBean<Any>, ServletContextAware
FactoryBean that fetches a specific, existing ServletContext attribute. Exposes that ServletContext attribute when used as bean reference, effectively making it available as named Spring bean instance. Intended to link in ServletContext attributes that exist before the startup of the Spring application context. Typically, such attributes will have been put there by third-party web frameworks. In a purely Spring-based web application, no such linking in of ServletContext attributes will be necessary. NOTE: As of Spring 3.0, you may also use the "contextAttributes" default bean which is of type Map, and dereference it using an "#{contextAttributes.myKey}" expression to access a specific attribute by name. |
|
open class ServletContextAwareProcessor : BeanPostProcessor
org.springframework.beans.factory.config.BeanPostProcessor implementation that passes the ServletContext to beans that implement the ServletContextAware interface. Web application contexts will automatically register this with their underlying bean factory. Applications do not use this directly. |
|
open class ServletContextLiveBeansView : LiveBeansView
LiveBeansView subclass which looks for all ApplicationContexts in the web application, as exposed in ServletContext attributes. |
|
open class ServletContextParameterFactoryBean : FactoryBean<String>, ServletContextAware
FactoryBean that retrieves a specific ServletContext init parameter (that is, a "context-param" defined in NOTE: As of Spring 3.0, you may also use the "contextParameters" default bean which is of type Map, and dereference it using an "#{contextParameters.myKey}" expression to access a specific parameter by name. |
|
open class ServletContextPropertySource : EnumerablePropertySource<ServletContext>
PropertySource that reads init parameters from a ServletContext object. |
|
open class ServletContextResource : AbstractFileResolvingResource, ContextResource
org.springframework.core.io.Resource implementation for javax.servlet.ServletContext resources, interpreting relative paths within the web application root directory. Always supports stream access and URL access, but only allows |
|
open class ServletContextResourceLoader : DefaultResourceLoader
ResourceLoader implementation that resolves paths as ServletContext resources, for use outside a WebApplicationContext (for example, in an HttpServletBean or GenericFilterBean subclass). Within a WebApplicationContext, resource paths are automatically resolved as ServletContext resources by the context implementation. |
|
open class ServletContextResourcePatternResolver : PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver
ServletContext-aware subclass of PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver, able to find matching resources below the web application root directory via |
|
open class ServletContextScope : Scope, DisposableBean
Scope wrapper for a ServletContext, i.e. for global web application attributes. This differs from traditional Spring singletons in that it exposes attributes in the ServletContext. Those attributes will get destroyed whenever the entire application shuts down, which might be earlier or later than the shutdown of the containing Spring ApplicationContext. The associated destruction mechanism relies on a org.springframework.web.context.ContextCleanupListener being registered in This scope is registered as default scope with key |
|
open class ServletRequestHandledEvent : RequestHandledEvent
Servlet-specific subclass of RequestHandledEvent, adding servlet-specific context information. |
|
abstract class SpringBeanAutowiringSupport
Convenient base class for self-autowiring classes that gets constructed within a Spring-based web application. Resolves A typical usage of this base class is a JAX-WS endpoint class: Such a Spring-based JAX-WS endpoint implementation will follow the standard JAX-WS contract for endpoint classes but will be 'thin' in that it delegates the actual work to one or more Spring-managed service beans - typically obtained using NOTE: If there is an explicit way to access the ServletContext, prefer such a way over using this class. The WebApplicationContextUtils class allows for easy access to the Spring root web application context based on the ServletContext. |
|
open class StandardServletEnvironment : StandardEnvironment, ConfigurableWebEnvironment
Environment implementation to be used by Contributes |
|
open class StaticWebApplicationContext : StaticApplicationContext, ConfigurableWebApplicationContext, ThemeSource
Static org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext implementation for testing. Not intended for use in production applications. Implements the org.springframework.web.context.ConfigurableWebApplicationContext interface to allow for direct replacement of an XmlWebApplicationContext, despite not actually supporting external configuration files. Interprets resource paths as servlet context resources, i.e. as paths beneath the web application root. Absolute paths, e.g. for files outside the web app root, can be accessed via "file:" URLs, as implemented by org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader. In addition to the special beans detected by org.springframework.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext, this class detects a bean of type org.springframework.ui.context.ThemeSource in the context, under the special bean name "themeSource". |
|
abstract class WebApplicationContextUtils
Convenience methods for retrieving the root WebApplicationContext for a given ServletContext. This is useful for programmatically accessing a Spring application context from within custom web views or MVC actions. Note that there are more convenient ways of accessing the root context for many web frameworks, either part of Spring or available as an external library. This helper class is just the most generic way to access the root context. |
|
open class XmlWebApplicationContext : AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext
org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext implementation which takes its configuration from XML documents, understood by an org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader. This is essentially the equivalent of org.springframework.context.support.GenericXmlApplicationContext for a web environment. By default, the configuration will be taken from "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml" for the root context, and "/WEB-INF/test-servlet.xml" for a context with the namespace "test-servlet" (like for a DispatcherServlet instance with the servlet-name "test"). The config location defaults can be overridden via the "contextConfigLocation" context-param of org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader and servlet init-param of org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet. Config locations can either denote concrete files like "/WEB-INF/context.xml" or Ant-style patterns like "/WEB-INF/*-context.xml" (see org.springframework.util.PathMatcher javadoc for pattern details). Note: In case of multiple config locations, later bean definitions will override ones defined in earlier loaded files. This can be leveraged to deliberately override certain bean definitions via an extra XML file. For a WebApplicationContext that reads in a different bean definition format, create an analogous subclass of AbstractRefreshableWebApplicationContext. Such a context implementation can be specified as "contextClass" context-param for ContextLoader or "contextClass" init-param for FrameworkServlet. |
