WebApplicationObjectSupport

public WebApplicationObjectSupport()

Method Detail

setServletContext

public final void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)

Description copied from interface: ServletContextAware

Set the ServletContext that this object runs in.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked after ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:

setServletContext in interface ServletContextAware

Parameters:

servletContext - ServletContext object to be used by this object

See Also:

InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet(), ApplicationContextAware.setApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext)

isContextRequired

protected boolean isContextRequired()

Overrides the base class behavior to enforce running in an ApplicationContext. All accessors will throw IllegalStateException if not running in a context.

Overrides:

isContextRequired in class ApplicationObjectSupport

See Also:

ApplicationObjectSupport.getApplicationContext(), ApplicationObjectSupport.getMessageSourceAccessor(), getWebApplicationContext(), getServletContext(), getTempDir()

initApplicationContext

protected void initApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context)

Calls initServletContext(javax.servlet.ServletContext) if the given ApplicationContext is a WebApplicationContext.

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class ApplicationObjectSupport

Parameters:

context - the containing ApplicationContext

See Also:

ApplicationObjectSupport.setApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext)

initServletContext

protected void initServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)

Subclasses may override this for custom initialization based on the ServletContext that this application object runs in.

The default implementation is empty. Called by initApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext) as well as setServletContext(javax.servlet.ServletContext).

Parameters:

servletContext - the ServletContext that this application object runs in (never null)

getWebApplicationContext

protected final WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext()
                                                        throws IllegalStateException

Return the current application context as WebApplicationContext.

NOTE: Only use this if you actually need to access WebApplicationContext-specific functionality. Preferably use getApplicationContext() or getServletContext() else, to be able to run in non-WebApplicationContext environments as well.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if not running in a WebApplicationContext

See Also:

ApplicationObjectSupport.getApplicationContext()

getServletContext

protected final ServletContext getServletContext()
                                          throws IllegalStateException

Return the current ServletContext.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if not running within a ServletContext

getTempDir

protected final File getTempDir()
                         throws IllegalStateException

Return the temporary directory for the current web application, as provided by the servlet container.

Returns:

the File representing the temporary directory

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if not running within a ServletContext

WebUtils.getTempDir(javax.servlet.ServletContext)
