Class AbstractHandlerMapping

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport
          org.springframework.web.context.support.WebApplicationObjectSupport
              org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.AbstractHandlerMapping

All Implemented Interfaces:
  ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, ServletContextAware, HandlerMapping

Direct Known Subclasses:
  AbstractUrlHandlerMapping

    public abstract class AbstractHandlerMapping

extends WebApplicationObjectSupport
implements HandlerMapping, Ordered

Abstract base class for `HandlerMapping` implementations. Supports ordering, a default handler, and handler interceptors.

Note: This base class does not support exposure of the `HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE`. Support for this attribute is up to concrete subclasses, typically based on request URL mappings.

Constructor Detail

### AbstractHandlerMapping

    public AbstractHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

### setOrder

    public final void setOrder(int order)

  Specify the order value for this HandlerMapping bean.

  Default value is `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, meaning that it's non-ordered.

  See Also:
    `Ordered.getOrder()`

### getOrder

    public final int getOrder()

  Description copied from interface: `Ordered`
  Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

  Normally starting with 0 or 1, with `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE` indicating greatest. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

  Higher value can be interpreted as lower priority, consequently the first object has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

  Note that order values below 0 are reserved for framework purposes. Application-specified values should always be 0 or greater, with only framework components (internal or third-party) supposed to use lower values.

  Specified by:
    `getOrder` in interface `Ordered`
  Returns:
    the order value
  See Also:
    `Ordered.LOWEST_PRECEDENCE`

### setDefaultHandler

    public void setDefaultHandler(Object defaultHandler)

  Set the default handler for this handler mapping. This handler will be returned if no specific mapping was found.

  Default is `null`, indicating no default handler.

### getDefaultHandler

    public Object getDefaultHandler()

  Return the default handler for this handler mapping, or `null` if none.

### setInterceptors

    public void setInterceptors(Object[] interceptors)

  Set the interceptors to apply for all handlers mapped by this handler mapping.

  Supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor and WebRequestInterceptor.

  Parameters:
    `interceptors` - array of handler interceptors, or `null` if none
  See Also:
    `adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object)`, `HandlerInterceptor`, `WebRequestInterceptor`

### initApplicationContext

    protected void initApplicationContext()
                                   throws BeansException

  Initializes the interceptors.

  Overrides:
    `initApplicationContext` in class `ApplicationObjectSupport`
  Throws:
    `ApplicationContextException` - in case of initialization errors
    `BeansException` - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods
  See Also:
    `extendInterceptors(java.util.List)`, `initInterceptors()`

### extendInterceptors

    protected void extendInterceptors(List interceptors)

  Extension hook that subclasses can override to register additional interceptors, given the configured interceptors (see `setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])`).

  Will be invoked before `initInterceptors()` adapts the specified interceptors into `HandlerInterceptor` instances.

  The default implementation is empty.

  Parameters:
    `interceptors` - the configured interceptor List (never `null`), allowing to add further interceptors before as well as after the existing interceptors

### initInterceptors

    protected void initInterceptors()

  Initialize the specified interceptors, adapting them where necessary.

  See Also:
    `setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])`, `adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object)`

### adaptInterceptor

    protected HandlerInterceptor adaptInterceptor(Object interceptor)

  Adapt the given interceptor object to the HandlerInterceptor interface.

  Supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor and WebRequestInterceptor. Each given WebRequestInterceptor will be wrapped in a WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter. Can be overridden in subclasses.

  Parameters:
    `interceptor` - the specified interceptor object
  Returns:
    the interceptor wrapped as HandlerInterceptor
  See Also:
    `HandlerInterceptor`, `WebRequestInterceptor`, `WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter`

### getAdaptedInterceptors

    protected final HandlerInterceptor[] getAdaptedInterceptors()

  Return the adapted interceptors as HandlerInterceptor array.

  Returns:
    the array of HandlerInterceptors, or `null` if none

### getHandler

    public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(HttpServletRequest request)
                                           throws Exception

  Look up a handler for the given request, falling back to the default handler if no specific one is found.

  Specified by:
    `getHandler` in interface `HandlerMapping`
  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    the corresponding handler instance, or the default handler
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if there is an internal error
  See Also:
    `getHandlerInternal(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)`

### getHandlerInternal

    protected abstract Object getHandlerInternal(HttpServletRequest request)
                                          throws Exception

  Look up a handler for the given request, returning `null` if no specific one is found. This method is called by `getHandler(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)`; a `null` return value will lead to the default handler, if one is set.

  Note: This method may also return a pre-built `HandlerExecutionChain`, combining a handler object with dynamically determined interceptors. Statically specified interceptors will get merged into such an existing chain.

  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    the corresponding handler instance, or `null` if none found
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if there is an internal error

### getHandlerExecutionChain

    protected HandlerExecutionChain getHandlerExecutionChain(Object handler,
                                                             HttpServletRequest request)

  Build a HandlerExecutionChain for the given handler, including applicable interceptors.

  The default implementation simply builds a standard HandlerExecutionChain with the given handler and this handler mapping's common interceptors. Subclasses may override this in order to extend/rearrange the list of interceptors.

  NOTE: The passed-in handler object may be a raw handler or a pre-built HandlerExecutionChain. This method should handle those two cases explicitly, either building a new HandlerExecutionChain or extending the existing chain.

  For simply adding an interceptor, consider calling `super.getHandlerExecutionChain` and invoking `HandlerExecutionChain.addInterceptor(org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerInterceptor)` on the returned chain object.

  Parameters:
    `handler` - the resolved handler instance (never `null`)
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    the HandlerExecutionChain (never `null`)
  See Also:
    `getAdaptedInterceptors()`
