    • checkNotModified

      public boolean checkNotModified(long lastModifiedTimestamp)
      Description copied from interface: WebRequest
      Check whether the requested resource has been modified given the supplied last-modified timestamp (as determined by the application).

      This will also transparently set the "Last-Modified" response header and HTTP status when applicable.

      Typical usage: 

       public String myHandleMethod(WebRequest request, Model model) {
   long lastModified = // application-specific calculation
   if (request.checkNotModified(lastModified)) {
     // shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
     return null;
   }
   // further request processing, actually building content
   model.addAttribute(...);
   return "myViewName";
 }

      This method works with conditional GET/HEAD requests, but also with conditional POST/PUT/DELETE requests.

      Note: you can use either this #checkNotModified(long) method; or WebRequest.checkNotModified(String). If you want enforce both a strong entity tag and a Last-Modified value, as recommended by the HTTP specification, then you should use WebRequest.checkNotModified(String, long).

      If the "If-Modified-Since" header is set but cannot be parsed to a date value, this method will ignore the header and proceed with setting the last-modified timestamp on the response.

      Specified by:
      checkNotModified in interface WebRequest
      Parameters:
      lastModifiedTimestamp - the last-modified timestamp in milliseconds that the application determined for the underlying resource
      Returns:
      whether the request qualifies as not modified, allowing to abort request processing and relying on the response telling the client that the content has not been modified

    • checkNotModified

      public boolean checkNotModified(String etag)
      Description copied from interface: WebRequest
      Check whether the requested resource has been modified given the supplied ETag (entity tag), as determined by the application.

      This will also transparently set the "ETag" response header and HTTP status when applicable.

      Typical usage: 

       public String myHandleMethod(WebRequest request, Model model) {
   String eTag = // application-specific calculation
   if (request.checkNotModified(eTag)) {
     // shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
     return null;
   }
   // further request processing, actually building content
   model.addAttribute(...);
   return "myViewName";
 }

      Note: you can use either this #checkNotModified(String) method; or WebRequest.checkNotModified(long). If you want enforce both a strong entity tag and a Last-Modified value, as recommended by the HTTP specification, then you should use WebRequest.checkNotModified(String, long).

      Specified by:
      checkNotModified in interface WebRequest
      Parameters:
      etag - the entity tag that the application determined for the underlying resource. This parameter will be padded with quotes (") if necessary.
      Returns:
      true if the request does not require further processing.

    • checkNotModified

      public boolean checkNotModified(@Nullable String etag, long lastModifiedTimestamp)
      Description copied from interface: WebRequest
      Check whether the requested resource has been modified given the supplied ETag (entity tag) and last-modified timestamp, as determined by the application.

      This will also transparently set the "ETag" and "Last-Modified" response headers, and HTTP status when applicable.

      Typical usage: 

       public String myHandleMethod(WebRequest request, Model model) {
   String eTag = // application-specific calculation
   long lastModified = // application-specific calculation
   if (request.checkNotModified(eTag, lastModified)) {
     // shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
     return null;
   }
   // further request processing, actually building content
   model.addAttribute(...);
   return "myViewName";
 }

      This method works with conditional GET/HEAD requests, but also with conditional POST/PUT/DELETE requests.

      Note: The HTTP specification recommends setting both ETag and Last-Modified values, but you can also use #checkNotModified(String) or WebRequest.checkNotModified(long).

      Specified by:
      checkNotModified in interface WebRequest
      Parameters:
      etag - the entity tag that the application determined for the underlying resource. This parameter will be padded with quotes (") if necessary.
      lastModifiedTimestamp - the last-modified timestamp in milliseconds that the application determined for the underlying resource
      Returns:
      true if the request does not require further processing.
