Class AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.context.AbstractContextLoaderInitializer

org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

org.springframework.web.servlet.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer

All Implemented Interfaces:

WebApplicationInitializer

public abstract class AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer
extends AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

WebApplicationInitializer to register a DispatcherServlet and use Java-based Spring configuration.

Implementations are required to implement:

• getRootConfigClasses() -- for "root" application context (non-web infrastructure) configuration.
• getServletConfigClasses() -- for DispatcherServlet application context (Spring MVC infrastructure) configuration.

If an application context hierarchy is not required, applications may return all configuration via getRootConfigClasses() and return null from getServletConfigClasses().

Since:

3.2

Method Details

createRootApplicationContext

protected @Nullable WebApplicationContext createRootApplicationContext()

Create the "root" application context to be provided to the ContextLoaderListener.

The returned context is delegated to ContextLoaderListener(WebApplicationContext) and will be established as the parent context for any DispatcherServlet application contexts. As such, it typically contains middle-tier services, data sources, etc.

This implementation creates an AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext, providing it the annotated classes returned by getRootConfigClasses(). Returns null if getRootConfigClasses() returns null.

Specified by:

createRootApplicationContext in class AbstractContextLoaderInitializer

Returns:

the root application context, or null if a root context is not desired

See Also:

• AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

createServletApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext createServletApplicationContext()

Create a servlet application context to be provided to the DispatcherServlet.

The returned context is delegated to Spring's DispatcherServlet(WebApplicationContext). As such, it typically contains controllers, view resolvers, locale resolvers, and other web-related beans.

This implementation creates an AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext, providing it the annotated classes returned by getServletConfigClasses().

Specified by:

createServletApplicationContext in class AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer

See Also:

• AbstractDispatcherServletInitializer.registerDispatcherServlet(ServletContext)

getRootConfigClasses

protected abstract Class<?> @Nullable [] getRootConfigClasses()

Specify @Configuration and/or @Component classes for the root application context.

Returns:

the configuration for the root application context, or null if creation and registration of a root context is not desired

getServletConfigClasses

protected abstract Class<?> @Nullable [] getServletConfigClasses()

Specify @Configuration and/or @Component classes for the Servlet application context.

Returns:

the configuration for the Servlet application context, or null if all configuration is specified through root config classes.
