All Implemented Interfaces:
ApplicationContextAware, ServletContextAware, HandlerAdapter

public class AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter
extends WebContentGenerator
implements HandlerAdapter

Implementation of the HandlerAdapter interface that maps handler methods based on HTTP paths, HTTP methods and request parameters expressed through the RequestMapping annotation.

Supports request parameter binding through the RequestParam annotation. Also supports the ModelAttribute annotation for exposing model attribute values to the view, as well as InitBinder for binder initialization methods and SessionAttributes for automatic session management of specific attributes.

This adapter can be customized through various bean properties. A common use case is to apply shared binder initialization logic through a custom WebBindingInitializer.

Constructor Detail

AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter

public AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter()
Method Detail

setAlwaysUseFullPath

public void setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean alwaysUseFullPath)
Set if URL lookup should always use the full path within the current servlet context. Else, the path within the current servlet mapping is used if applicable (that is, in the case of a ".../*" servlet mapping in web.xml).

Default is "false".

See Also:
UrlPathHelper.setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean)

setUrlDecode

public void setUrlDecode(boolean urlDecode)
Set if context path and request URI should be URL-decoded. Both are returned undecoded by the Servlet API, in contrast to the servlet path.

Uses either the request encoding or the default encoding according to the Servlet spec (ISO-8859-1).

See Also:
UrlPathHelper.setUrlDecode(boolean)

setUrlPathHelper

public void setUrlPathHelper(UrlPathHelper urlPathHelper)
Set the UrlPathHelper to use for resolution of lookup paths.

Use this to override the default UrlPathHelper with a custom subclass, or to share common UrlPathHelper settings across multiple HandlerMappings and HandlerAdapters.


setPathMatcher

public void setPathMatcher(PathMatcher pathMatcher)
Set the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns. Default is AntPathMatcher.

See Also:
AntPathMatcher

setMethodNameResolver

public void setMethodNameResolver(MethodNameResolver methodNameResolver)
Set the MethodNameResolver to use for resolving default handler methods (carrying an empty @RequestMapping annotation).

Will only kick in when the handler method cannot be resolved uniquely through the annotation metadata already.


setWebBindingInitializer

public void setWebBindingInitializer(WebBindingInitializer webBindingInitializer)
Specify a WebBindingInitializer which will apply pre-configured configuration to every DataBinder that this controller uses.


setSessionAttributeStore

public void setSessionAttributeStore(SessionAttributeStore sessionAttributeStore)
Specify the strategy to store session attributes with.

Default is DefaultSessionAttributeStore, storing session attributes in the HttpSession, using the same attribute name as in the model.


supports

public boolean supports(Object handler)
Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
Given a handler instance, return whether or not this HandlerAdapter can support it. Typical HandlerAdapters will base the decision on the handler type. HandlerAdapters will usually only support one handler type each.

A typical implementation:

return (handler instanceof MyHandler);

Specified by:
supports in interface HandlerAdapter
Parameters:
handler - handler object to check
Returns:
whether or not this object can use the given handler

handle

public ModelAndView handle(HttpServletRequest request,
                           HttpServletResponse response,
                           Object handler)
                    throws Exception
Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
Use the given handler to handle this request. The workflow that is required may vary widely.

Specified by:
handle in interface HandlerAdapter
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
handler - handler to use. This object must have previously been passed to the supports method of this interface, which must have returned true.
Returns:
ModelAndView object with the name of the view and the required model data, or null if the request has been handled directly
Throws:
Exception - in case of errors

getLastModified

public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request,
                            Object handler)
Description copied from interface: HandlerAdapter
Same contract as for HttpServlet's getLastModified method. Can simply return -1 if there's no support in the handler class.

Specified by:
getLastModified in interface HandlerAdapter
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
handler - handler to use
Returns:
the lastModified value for the given handler
See Also:
HttpServlet.getLastModified(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest), LastModified.getLastModified(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
