Method Detail

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

                           Object handler)
                    throws Exception

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

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

public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request,
                            Object handler)
