org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.HttpEntityMethodProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

HandlerMethodArgumentResolver, HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

public class HttpEntityMethodProcessor
extends AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor

Resolves HttpEntity and RequestEntity method argument values, as well as return values of type HttpEntity, ResponseEntity, ErrorResponse and ProblemDetail.

An HttpEntity return type has a specific purpose. Therefore, this handler should be configured ahead of handlers that support any return value type annotated with @ModelAttribute or @ResponseBody to ensure they don't take over.

3.1

Constructor Details

HttpEntityMethodProcessor

public HttpEntityMethodProcessor(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters)

Basic constructor with converters only. Suitable for resolving HttpEntity. For handling ResponseEntity consider also providing a ContentNegotiationManager.

HttpEntityMethodProcessor

public HttpEntityMethodProcessor(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters,
 ContentNegotiationManager manager)

Basic constructor with converters and ContentNegotiationManager. Suitable for resolving HttpEntity and handling ResponseEntity without Request~ or ResponseBodyAdvice.

HttpEntityMethodProcessor

public HttpEntityMethodProcessor(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters,
 List<Object> requestResponseBodyAdvice)

Complete constructor for resolving HttpEntity method arguments. For handling ResponseEntity consider also providing a ContentNegotiationManager.

Method Details

supportsParameter

public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)

Description copied from interface: HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

Parameters:

parameter - the method parameter to check

Returns:

true if this resolver supports the supplied parameter; false otherwise

supportsReturnType

public boolean supportsReturnType(MethodParameter returnType)

Description copied from interface: HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

Whether the given method return type is supported by this handler.

Parameters:

returnType - the method return type to check

Returns:

true if this handler supports the supplied return type; false otherwise

resolveArgument

@Nullable
public Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter,
 @Nullable
 ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
 NativeWebRequest webRequest,
 @Nullable
 WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory)
                       throws IOException,
HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException

Description copied from interface: HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

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 HandlerMethodArgumentResolver.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:

IOException

HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException

handleReturnValue

public void handleReturnValue(@Nullable
 Object returnValue,
 MethodParameter returnType,
 ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
 NativeWebRequest webRequest)
                       throws Exception

Description copied from interface: HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

Handle the given return value by adding attributes to the model and setting a view or setting the ModelAndViewContainer.setRequestHandled(boolean) flag to true to indicate the response has been handled directly.

Parameters:

returnValue - the value returned from the handler method

returnType - the type of the return value. This type must have previously been passed to HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler.supportsReturnType(org.springframework.core.MethodParameter) which must have returned true.

mavContainer - the ModelAndViewContainer for the current request

webRequest - the current request

Throws:

Exception - if the return value handling results in an error

getReturnValueType

protected Class<?> getReturnValueType(@Nullable
 Object returnValue,
 MethodParameter returnType)

Description copied from class: AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor

Return the type of the value to be written to the response. Typically this is a simple check via getClass on the value but if the value is null, then the return type needs to be examined possibly including generic type determination (e.g. ResponseEntity<T>).

Overrides:

getReturnValueType in class AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor
