Package org.springframework.web.servlet.view.groovy

Class GroovyMarkupConfigurer

java.lang.Object
groovy.text.markup.TemplateConfiguration
org.springframework.web.servlet.view.groovy.GroovyMarkupConfigurer
All Implemented Interfaces:
Aware, InitializingBean, ApplicationContextAware, GroovyMarkupConfig
public class GroovyMarkupConfigurer extends groovy.text.markup.TemplateConfiguration implements GroovyMarkupConfig, ApplicationContextAware, InitializingBean
An extension of Groovy's TemplateConfiguration and an implementation of Spring MVC's GroovyMarkupConfig for creating a MarkupTemplateEngine for use in a web application. The most basic way to configure this class is to set the "resourceLoaderPath". For example: 

 // Add the following to an @Configuration class

 @Bean
 public GroovyMarkupConfig groovyMarkupConfigurer() {
     GroovyMarkupConfigurer configurer = new GroovyMarkupConfigurer();
     configurer.setResourceLoaderPath("classpath:/WEB-INF/groovymarkup/");
     return configurer;
 }
By default this bean will create a MarkupTemplateEngine with:
  • a parent ClassLoader for loading Groovy templates with their references
  • the default configuration in the base class TemplateConfiguration
  • a TemplateResolver for resolving template files
You can provide the MarkupTemplateEngine instance directly to this bean in which case all other properties will not be effectively ignored.

This bean must be included in the application context of any application using the Spring MVC GroovyMarkupView for rendering. It exists purely for the purpose of configuring Groovy's Markup templates. It is not meant to be referenced by application components directly. It implements GroovyMarkupConfig to be found by GroovyMarkupView without depending on a bean name. Each DispatcherServlet can define its own GroovyMarkupConfigurer if desired.

Note that resource caching is enabled by default in MarkupTemplateEngine. Use the TemplateConfiguration.setCacheTemplates(boolean) to configure that as necessary.

Spring's Groovy Markup template support requires Groovy 2.3.1 or higher.

Since:
4.1

    groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine
    getTemplateEngine()
    Return the Groovy MarkupTemplateEngine for the current web application context.
    protected URL
    resolveTemplate(ClassLoader classLoader, String templatePath)
    Resolve a template from the given template path.
    void
    setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    Set the ApplicationContext that this object runs in.
    void

    • setResourceLoaderPath

      public void setResourceLoaderPath(String resourceLoaderPath)
      Set the Groovy Markup Template resource loader path(s) via a Spring resource location. Accepts multiple locations as a comma-separated list of paths. Standard URLs like "file:" and "classpath:" and pseudo URLs are supported as understood by Spring's ResourceLoader. Relative paths are allowed when running in an ApplicationContext.

    • getResourceLoaderPath

      public String getResourceLoaderPath()

    • setTemplateEngine

      public void setTemplateEngine(groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine templateEngine)
      Set a pre-configured MarkupTemplateEngine to use for the Groovy Markup Template web configuration.

      Note that this engine instance has to be manually configured, since all other bean properties of this configurer will be ignored.

    • getTemplateEngine

      public groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine getTemplateEngine()
      Description copied from interface: GroovyMarkupConfig
      Return the Groovy MarkupTemplateEngine for the current web application context. May be unique to one servlet, or shared in the root context.
      Specified by:
      getTemplateEngine in interface GroovyMarkupConfig
      Returns:
      the Groovy MarkupTemplateEngine engine

    • setApplicationContext

      public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)
      Description copied from interface: ApplicationContextAware
      Set the ApplicationContext that this object runs in. Normally this call will be used to initialize the object.

      Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method. Invoked after ResourceLoaderAware.setResourceLoader(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader), ApplicationEventPublisherAware.setApplicationEventPublisher(org.springframework.context.ApplicationEventPublisher) and MessageSourceAware, if applicable.

      Specified by:
      setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware
      Parameters:
      applicationContext - the ApplicationContext object to be used by this object
      See Also:

    • getApplicationContext

      protected ApplicationContext getApplicationContext()

    • setLocale

      public void setLocale(Locale locale)
      This method should not be used, since the considered Locale for resolving templates is the Locale for the current HTTP request.
      Overrides:
      setLocale in class groovy.text.markup.TemplateConfiguration

    • afterPropertiesSet

      public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception
      Description copied from interface: InitializingBean
      Invoked by the containing BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties and satisfied BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware etc.

      This method allows the bean instance to perform validation of its overall configuration and final initialization when all bean properties have been set.

      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 for any other reason

    • createTemplateEngine

      protected groovy.text.markup.MarkupTemplateEngine createTemplateEngine() throws IOException
      Throws:
      IOException

    • createTemplateClassLoader

      protected ClassLoader createTemplateClassLoader() throws IOException
      Create a parent ClassLoader for Groovy to use as parent ClassLoader when loading and compiling templates.
      Throws:
      IOException

    • resolveTemplate

      protected URL resolveTemplate(ClassLoader classLoader, String templatePath) throws IOException
      Resolve a template from the given template path.

      The default implementation uses the Locale associated with the current request, as obtained through LocaleContextHolder, to find the template file. Effectively the locale configured at the engine level is ignored.

      Throws:
      IOException
