All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, ServletContextAware, ViewResolver

public class BeanNameViewResolver
extends WebApplicationObjectSupport
implements ViewResolver, Ordered

A simple implementation of ViewResolver that interprets a view name as a bean name in the current application context, i.e. typically in the XML file of the executing DispatcherServlet or in a corresponding configuration class.

Note: This ViewResolver implements the Ordered interface in order to allow for flexible participation in ViewResolver chaining. For example, some special views could be defined via this ViewResolver (giving it 0 as "order" value), while all remaining views could be resolved by a UrlBasedViewResolver.

BeanNameViewResolver

public BeanNameViewResolver()

Method Details

setOrder

public void setOrder(int order)

Specify the order value for this ViewResolver bean.

The default value is Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE, meaning non-ordered.

See Also:

• Ordered.getOrder()

getOrder

public int getOrder()

Description copied from interface: Ordered

Get the order value of this object.

Higher values are interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has the highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet load-on-startup values).

Same order values will result in arbitrary sort positions for the affected objects.

Specified by:

getOrder in interface Ordered

Returns:

the order value

resolveViewName

public @Nullable View resolveViewName(String viewName,
 Locale locale)
                               throws BeansException

Description copied from interface: ViewResolver

Resolve the given view by name.

Note: To allow for ViewResolver chaining, a ViewResolver should return null if a view with the given name is not defined in it. However, this is not required: Some ViewResolvers will always attempt to build View objects with the given name, unable to return null (rather throwing an exception when View creation failed).

Specified by:

resolveViewName in interface ViewResolver

Parameters:

viewName - name of the view to resolve

locale - the Locale in which to resolve the view. ViewResolvers that support internationalization should respect this.

Returns:

the View object, or null if not found (optional, to allow for ViewResolver chaining)

Throws:

BeansException
