addFileExtensionResolvers

public void addFileExtensionResolvers(MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver... resolvers)

Register more MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver instances in addition to those detected at construction.

Parameters:

resolvers - the resolvers to add

resolveMediaTypes

public List<MediaType> resolveMediaTypes(NativeWebRequest request)
                                  throws HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException

Description copied from interface: ContentNegotiationStrategy

Resolve the given request to a list of media types. The returned list is ordered by specificity first and by quality parameter second.

Specified by:

resolveMediaTypes in interface ContentNegotiationStrategy

Parameters:

request - the current request

Returns:

the requested media types, or ContentNegotiationStrategy.MEDIA_TYPE_ALL_LIST if none were requested.

Throws:

HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException - if the requested media types cannot be parsed

resolveFileExtensions

public List<String> resolveFileExtensions(MediaType mediaType)

Description copied from interface: MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver

Resolve the given media type to a list of file extensions.

Specified by:

resolveFileExtensions in interface MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver

Parameters:

mediaType - the media type to resolve

Returns:

a list of extensions or an empty list (never null)

getAllFileExtensions

public List<String> getAllFileExtensions()

Get all registered file extensions.

At startup this method returns extensions explicitly registered with either PathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy or ParameterContentNegotiationStrategy. At runtime if there is a "path extension" strategy and its useRegisteredExtensionsOnly property is set to "false", the list of extensions may increase as file extensions are resolved via MediaTypeFactory and cached.

Specified by:

getAllFileExtensions in interface MediaTypeFileExtensionResolver

Returns:

a list of extensions or an empty list (never null)
