public class ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor
extends ModelAttributeMethodProcessor

A Servlet-specific ModelAttributeMethodProcessor that applies data binding through a WebDataBinder of type ServletRequestDataBinder.

Also adds a fall-back strategy to instantiate the model attribute from a URI template variable or from a request parameter if the name matches the model attribute name and there is an appropriate type conversion strategy.

Constructor Details

ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor

public ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor(boolean annotationNotRequired)

Class constructor.

Parameters:

annotationNotRequired - if "true", non-simple method arguments and return values are considered model attributes with or without a @ModelAttribute annotation

Method Details

createAttribute

protected final Object createAttribute(String attributeName,
 MethodParameter parameter,
 WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory,
 NativeWebRequest request)
                                throws Exception

Instantiate the model attribute from a URI template variable or from a request parameter if the name matches to the model attribute name and if there is an appropriate type conversion strategy. If none of these are true delegate back to the base class.

Overrides:

createAttribute in class ModelAttributeMethodProcessor

Parameters:

attributeName - the name of the attribute (never null)

parameter - the method parameter declaration

binderFactory - for creating WebDataBinder instance

request - the current request

Returns:

the created model attribute, or null

Throws:

Exception

• createAttributeFromRequestValue(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.springframework.core.MethodParameter, org.springframework.web.bind.support.WebDataBinderFactory, org.springframework.web.context.request.NativeWebRequest)

getRequestValueForAttribute

@Nullable
protected String getRequestValueForAttribute(String attributeName,
 NativeWebRequest request)

Obtain a value from the request that may be used to instantiate the model attribute through type conversion from String to the target type.

The default implementation looks for the attribute name to match a URI variable first and then a request parameter.

Parameters:

attributeName - the model attribute name

request - the current request

Returns:

the request value to try to convert, or null if none

getUriTemplateVariables

protected final Map<String,String> getUriTemplateVariables(NativeWebRequest request)

createAttributeFromRequestValue

@Nullable
protected Object createAttributeFromRequestValue(String sourceValue,
 String attributeName,
 MethodParameter parameter,
 WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory,
 NativeWebRequest request)
                                          throws Exception

Create a model attribute from a String request value (e.g. URI template variable, request parameter) using type conversion.

The default implementation converts only if there is a registered Converter that can perform the conversion.

Parameters:

sourceValue - the source value to create the model attribute from

attributeName - the name of the attribute (never null)

parameter - the method parameter

binderFactory - for creating WebDataBinder instance

request - the current request

Returns:

the created model attribute, or null if no suitable conversion found

Throws:

Exception

constructAttribute

protected void constructAttribute(WebDataBinder binder,
 NativeWebRequest request)

Downcast to ServletRequestDataBinder to invoke constructTarget(ServletRequest).

Overrides:

constructAttribute in class ModelAttributeMethodProcessor

Parameters:

binder - the data binder instance to use for the binding

request - the current request

bindRequestParameters

protected void bindRequestParameters(WebDataBinder binder,
 NativeWebRequest request)

Downcast to ServletRequestDataBinder to invoke bind(ServletRequest).

Overrides:

bindRequestParameters in class ModelAttributeMethodProcessor

Parameters:

binder - the data binder instance to use for the binding

request - the current request
