    public abstract class AbstractCommandController

extends BaseCommandController

Abstract base class for custom command controllers. Autopopulates a command bean from the request. For command validation, a validator (property inherited from BaseCommandController) can be used.

This command controller should preferrable not be used to handle form submission, because functionality for forms is more offered in more detail by the `AbstractFormController` and its corresponding implementations.

Exposed configuration properties (and those defined by superclass):
none (so only those available in superclass).

Workflow (and that defined by superclass):

  2.0

  Create a new AbstractCommandController.

  Parameters:
    `commandClass` - class of the command bean

    public AbstractCommandController(Class commandClass,
                                     String commandName)

Method Detail

### handleActionRequestInternal

    protected final void handleActionRequestInternal(javax.portlet.ActionRequest request,
                                                     javax.portlet.ActionResponse response)
                                              throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `AbstractController`
  Subclasses are meant to override this method if the controller is expected to handle action requests. The contract is the same as for `handleActionRequest`.

  The default implementation throws a PortletException.

  Overrides:
    `handleActionRequestInternal` in class `AbstractController`
  Throws:
    `Exception`
  See Also:
    `AbstractController.handleActionRequest(javax.portlet.ActionRequest, javax.portlet.ActionResponse)`, `AbstractController.handleRenderRequestInternal(javax.portlet.RenderRequest, javax.portlet.RenderResponse)`

### handleRenderRequestInternal

    protected final ModelAndView handleRenderRequestInternal(javax.portlet.RenderRequest request,
                                                             javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)
                                                      throws Exception

  Description copied from class: `AbstractController`
  Subclasses are meant to override this method if the controller is expected to handle render requests. The contract is the same as for `handleRenderRequest`.

  The default implementation throws a PortletException.

  Overrides:
    `handleRenderRequestInternal` in class `AbstractController`
  Throws:
    `Exception`
  See Also:
    `AbstractController.handleRenderRequest(javax.portlet.RenderRequest, javax.portlet.RenderResponse)`, `AbstractController.handleActionRequestInternal(javax.portlet.ActionRequest, javax.portlet.ActionResponse)`

### handleAction

    protected abstract void handleAction(javax.portlet.ActionRequest request,
                                         javax.portlet.ActionResponse response,

  Template method for request handling, providing a populated and validated instance of the command class, and an Errors object containing binding and validation errors.
