## org.springframework.web.portlet.handler
Class PortletContentGenerator

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport
          org.springframework.web.portlet.context.PortletApplicationObjectSupport
              org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.PortletContentGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ApplicationContextAware, PortletContextAware

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AbstractController, AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter

    public abstract class PortletContentGenerator

extends PortletApplicationObjectSupport

Convenient superclass for any kind of web content generator, like `AbstractController`. Can also be used for custom handlers that have their own `HandlerAdapter`.

Supports portlet cache control options.

Since:
  2.0

Constructor Detail

### PortletContentGenerator

    public PortletContentGenerator()

Method Detail

### setRequireSession

    public final void setRequireSession(boolean requireSession)

  Set whether a session should be required to handle requests.

### isRequireSession

    public final boolean isRequireSession()

  Return whether a session is required to handle requests.

### setCacheSeconds

    public final void setCacheSeconds(int seconds)

  Cache content for the given number of seconds. Default is -1, indicating no override of portlet content caching.

  Only if this is set to 0 (no cache) or a positive value (cache for this many seconds) will this class override the portlet settings.

  The cache setting can be overwritten by subclasses, before content is generated.

### getCacheSeconds

    public final int getCacheSeconds()

  Return the number of seconds that content is cached.

### check

    protected final void check(javax.portlet.PortletRequest request,
                               javax.portlet.PortletResponse response)
                        throws javax.portlet.PortletException

  Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the number of cache seconds configured for this generator (if it is a render request/response).

  Parameters:
    `request` - current portlet request
    `response` - current portlet response
  Throws:
    `javax.portlet.PortletException` - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

### checkAndPrepare

    protected final void checkAndPrepare(javax.portlet.RenderRequest request,
                                         javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)
                                  throws javax.portlet.PortletException

  Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the number of cache seconds configured for this generator (if it is a render request/response).

  Parameters:
    `request` - current portlet request
    `response` - current portlet response
  Throws:
    `javax.portlet.PortletException` - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

### checkAndPrepare

    protected final void checkAndPrepare(javax.portlet.RenderRequest request,
                                         javax.portlet.RenderResponse response,
                                         int cacheSeconds)
                                  throws javax.portlet.PortletException

  Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the given number of cache seconds (if it is a render request/response).

  Parameters:
    `request` - current portlet request
    `response` - current portlet response
    `cacheSeconds` - positive number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for, 0 to prevent caching
  Throws:
    `javax.portlet.PortletException` - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

### preventCaching

    protected final void preventCaching(javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)

  Prevent the render response from being cached.

### cacheForSeconds

    protected final void cacheForSeconds(javax.portlet.RenderResponse response,
                                         int seconds)

  Set portlet response to allow caching for the given number of seconds.

  Parameters:
    `response` - current portlet render response
    `seconds` - number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for

### applyCacheSeconds

    protected final void applyCacheSeconds(javax.portlet.RenderResponse response,
                                           int seconds)

  Apply the given cache seconds to the render response

  Parameters:
    `response` - current portlet render response
    `seconds` - positive number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for, 0 to prevent caching
