Class DispatcherHandler

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.reactive.DispatcherHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, ApplicationContextAware, PreFlightRequestHandler, WebHandler

public class DispatcherHandler
extends Object
implements WebHandler, PreFlightRequestHandler, ApplicationContextAware

Central dispatcher for HTTP request handlers/controllers. Dispatches to registered handlers for processing a request, providing convenient mapping facilities.

DispatcherHandler discovers the delegate components it needs from Spring configuration. It detects the following in the application context:

• HandlerMapping -- map requests to handler objects
• HandlerAdapter -- for using any handler interface
• HandlerResultHandler -- process handler return values

DispatcherHandler is also designed to be a Spring bean itself and implements ApplicationContextAware for access to the context it runs in. If DispatcherHandler is declared as a bean with the name "webHandler", it is discovered by WebHttpHandlerBuilder.applicationContext(ApplicationContext) which puts together a processing chain together with WebFilter, WebExceptionHandler and others.

A DispatcherHandler bean declaration is included in @EnableWebFlux configuration.

Since:

5.0

Constructor Details

DispatcherHandler

public DispatcherHandler()

Create a new DispatcherHandler which needs to be configured with an ApplicationContext through setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext).

DispatcherHandler

public DispatcherHandler(ApplicationContext applicationContext)

Create a new DispatcherHandler for the given ApplicationContext.

Parameters:

applicationContext - the application context to find the handler beans in

Method Details

getHandlerMappings

public final @Nullable List<HandlerMapping> getHandlerMappings()

Return all HandlerMapping beans detected by type in the injected context and also sorted.

Note: This method may return null if invoked prior to setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext).

Returns:

immutable list with the configured mappings or null

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(ResourceLoader), ApplicationEventPublisherAware.setApplicationEventPublisher(ApplicationEventPublisher) and MessageSourceAware, if applicable.

Specified by:

setApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextAware

Parameters:

applicationContext - the ApplicationContext object to be used by this object

• BeanInitializationException

initStrategies

protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context)

handle

public reactor.core.publisher.Mono<Void> handle(ServerWebExchange exchange)

Description copied from interface: WebHandler

Handle the web server exchange.

Specified by:

handle in interface WebHandler

Parameters:

exchange - the current server exchange

Returns:

Mono<Void> to indicate when request handling is complete

handlePreFlight

public reactor.core.publisher.Mono<Void> handlePreFlight(ServerWebExchange exchange)

Description copied from interface: PreFlightRequestHandler

Handle a pre-flight request by finding and applying the CORS configuration that matches the expected actual request. As a result of handling, the response should be updated with CORS headers or rejected with HttpStatus.FORBIDDEN.

Specified by:

handlePreFlight in interface PreFlightRequestHandler

Parameters:

exchange - the exchange for the request

Returns:

a completion handle
