boolean	supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter) Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

Method Detail

supportsParameter

boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)

Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

Parameters:

parameter - the method parameter to check

Returns:

                                    throws java.lang.Exception

Resolves a method parameter into an argument value from a given request. A ModelAndViewContainer provides access to the model for the request. A WebDataBinderFactory provides a way to create a WebDataBinder instance when needed for data binding and type conversion purposes.

Parameters:

parameter - the method parameter to resolve. This parameter must have previously been passed to supportsParameter(org.springframework.core.MethodParameter) which must have returned true.

mavContainer - the ModelAndViewContainer for the current request

webRequest - the current request

binderFactory - a factory for creating WebDataBinder instances

Returns:

the resolved argument value, or null if not resolvable

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - in case of errors with the preparation of argument values
