Class PropertiesMethodNameResolver

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver

org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.PropertiesMethodNameResolver

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, MethodNameResolver

public class PropertiesMethodNameResolver
extends AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver
implements InitializingBean

The most flexible out-of-the-box implementation of the MethodNameResolver interface. Uses java.util.Properties to define the mapping between the URL of incoming requests and the corresponding method name. Such properties can be held in an XML document.

Properties format is /welcome.html=displayGenresPage Note that method overloading isn't allowed, so there's no need to specify arguments.

Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and a various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" matches both "/test" and "/team". For details, see the AntPathMatcher javadoc.

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath

protected java.lang.String getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath(java.lang.String urlPath)

Description copied from class: AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver

Return a method name that can handle this request, based on the given lookup path. Called by getHandlerMethodName.

Specified by:

getHandlerMethodNameForUrlPath in class AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver

Parameters:

urlPath - the URL path to use for lookup, according to the settings in this class

Returns:

a method name that can handle this request. Should return null if no matching method found.
