AbstractDetectingUrlHandlerMapping

public AbstractDetectingUrlHandlerMapping()
Method Detail

setDetectHandlersInAncestorContexts

public void setDetectHandlersInAncestorContexts(boolean detectHandlersInAncestorContexts)
Set whether to detect handler beans in ancestor ApplicationContexts.

Default is "false": Only handler beans in the current ApplicationContext will be detected, i.e. only in the context that this HandlerMapping itself is defined in (typically the current DispatcherServlet's context).

Switch this flag on to detect handler beans in ancestor contexts (typically the Spring root WebApplicationContext) as well.


initApplicationContext

public void initApplicationContext()
                            throws ApplicationContextException
Calls the detectHandlers() method in addition to the superclass's initialization.

Overrides:
initApplicationContext in class AbstractHandlerMapping
Throws:
ApplicationContextException - in case of initialization errors
See Also:
AbstractHandlerMapping.extendInterceptors(java.util.List), AbstractHandlerMapping.initInterceptors()

detectHandlers

protected void detectHandlers()
                       throws BeansException
Register all handlers found in the current ApplicationContext.

The actual URL determination for a handler is up to the concrete determineUrlsForHandler(String) implementation. A bean for which no such URLs could be determined is simply not considered a handler.

Throws:
BeansException - if the handler couldn't be registered
See Also:
determineUrlsForHandler(String)

determineUrlsForHandler

protected abstract String[] determineUrlsForHandler(String beanName)
Determine the URLs for the given handler bean.

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the candidate bean
Returns:
the URLs determined for the bean, or null or an empty array if none
