public class InternalResourceViewResolver
extends UrlBasedViewResolver

Convenient subclass of UrlBasedViewResolver that supports InternalResourceView (i.e. Servlets and JSPs) and subclasses such as JstlView.

The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified via UrlBasedViewResolver.setViewClass(java.lang.Class). See UrlBasedViewResolver's javadoc for details. The default is InternalResourceView, or JstlView if the JSTL API is present.

BTW, it's good practice to put JSP files that just serve as views under WEB-INF, to hide them from direct access (e.g. via a manually entered URL). Only controllers will be able to access them then.

Note: When chaining ViewResolvers, an InternalResourceViewResolver always needs to be last, as it will attempt to resolve any view name, no matter whether the underlying resource actually exists.

Constructor Summary

InternalResourceViewResolver()
Sets the default view class to requiredViewClass(): by default InternalResourceView, or JstlView if the JSTL API is present.

Method Summary

protected AbstractUrlBasedView	buildView(String viewName) Creates a new View instance of the specified view class and configures it.
protected Class	requiredViewClass() This resolver requires InternalResourceView.
void	setAlwaysInclude(boolean alwaysInclude) Specify whether to always include the view rather than forward to it.
void	setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes(boolean exposeContextBeansAsAttributes) Set whether to make all Spring beans in the application context accessible as request attributes, through lazy checking once an attribute gets accessed.
void	setExposedContextBeanNames(String[] exposedContextBeanNames) Specify the names of beans in the context which are supposed to be exposed.

Constructor Detail

InternalResourceViewResolver

public InternalResourceViewResolver()

Sets the default view class to requiredViewClass(): by default InternalResourceView, or JstlView if the JSTL API is present.

Method Detail

requiredViewClass

protected Class requiredViewClass()

This resolver requires InternalResourceView.

Overrides:

requiredViewClass in class UrlBasedViewResolver

See Also:

AbstractUrlBasedView

setAlwaysInclude

public void setAlwaysInclude(boolean alwaysInclude)

Specify whether to always include the view rather than forward to it.

Default is "false". Switch this flag on to enforce the use of a Servlet include, even if a forward would be possible.

See Also:

InternalResourceView.setAlwaysInclude(boolean)

setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes

public void setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes(boolean exposeContextBeansAsAttributes)

Set whether to make all Spring beans in the application context accessible as request attributes, through lazy checking once an attribute gets accessed.

This will make all such beans accessible in plain ${...} expressions in a JSP 2.0 page, as well as in JSTL's c:out value expressions.

Default is "false".

See Also:

InternalResourceView.setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes(boolean)

setExposedContextBeanNames

public void setExposedContextBeanNames(String[] exposedContextBeanNames)

Specify the names of beans in the context which are supposed to be exposed. If this is non-null, only the specified beans are eligible for exposure as attributes.

See Also:

InternalResourceView.setExposedContextBeanNames(java.lang.String[])

buildView

protected AbstractUrlBasedView buildView(String viewName)
                                  throws Exception

Description copied from class: UrlBasedViewResolver

Creates a new View instance of the specified view class and configures it. Does not perform any lookup for pre-defined View instances.

Spring lifecycle methods as defined by the bean container do not have to be called here; those will be applied by the loadView method after this method returns.

Subclasses will typically call super.buildView(viewName) first, before setting further properties themselves. loadView will then apply Spring lifecycle methods at the end of this process.

Overrides:

buildView in class UrlBasedViewResolver

Parameters:

viewName - the name of the view to build

Returns:

the View instance

Throws:

Exception - if the view couldn't be resolved

UrlBasedViewResolver.loadView(String, java.util.Locale)
