All Implemented Interfaces:: Serializable, EventListener, Servlet, ServletConfig, ApplicationListener

public class DispatcherServlet
extends FrameworkServlet
extends FrameworkServlet

Central dispatcher for HTTP request handlers/controllers, e.g. for web UI controllers or HTTP-based remote service exporters. Dispatches to registered handlers for processing a web request, providing convenient mapping and exception handling facilities.

This servlet is very flexible: It can be used with just about any workflow, with the installation of the appropriate adapter classes. It offers the following functionality that distinguishes it from other request-driven web MVC frameworks:

It is based around a JavaBeans configuration mechanism.
It can use any HandlerMapping implementation - pre-built or provided as part of an application - to control the routing of requests to handler objects. Default is BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping. HandlerMapping objects can be defined as beans in the servlet's application context, implementing the HandlerMapping interface, overriding the default HandlerMapping if present. HandlerMappings can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
It can use any HandlerAdapter; this allows to use any handler interface. Default adapters are HttpRequestHandlerAdapter, SimpleControllerHandlerAdapter and ThrowawayControllerHandlerAdapter, for Spring's HttpRequestHandler, Controller and ThrowawayController interfaces, respectively. HandlerAdapter objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the default HandlerAdapters. Like HandlerMappings, HandlerAdapters can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
The dispatcher's exception resolution strategy can be specified via a HandlerExceptionResolver, for example mapping certain exceptions to error pages. Default is none. Additional HandlerExceptionResolvers can be added through the application context. HandlerExceptionResolver can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
Its view resolution strategy can be specified via a ViewResolver implementation, resolving symbolic view names into View objects. Default is InternalResourceViewResolver. ViewResolver objects can be added as beans in the application context, overriding the default ViewResolver. ViewResolvers can be given any bean name (they are tested by type).
If a View or view name is not supplied by the user, then the configured RequestToViewNameTranslator will translate the current request into a view name. The corresponding bean name is "viewNameTranslator"; the default is DefaultRequestToViewNameTranslator.
The dispatcher's strategy for resolving multipart requests is determined by a MultipartResolver implementation. Implementations for Jakarta Commons FileUpload and Jason Hunter's COS are included; the typical choise is CommonsMultipartResolver. The MultipartResolver bean name is "multipartResolver"; default is none.
Its locale resolution strategy is determined by a LocaleResolver. Out-of-the-box implementations work via HTTP accept header, cookie, or session. The LocaleResolver bean name is "localeResolver"; default is AcceptHeaderLocaleResolver.
Its theme resolution strategy is determined by a ThemeResolver. Implementations for a fixed theme and for cookie and session storage are included. The ThemeResolver bean name is "themeResolver"; default is FixedThemeResolver.

A web application can define any number of DispatcherServlets. Each servlet will operate in its own namespace, loading its own application context with mappings, handlers, etc. Only the root application context as loaded by ContextLoaderListener, if any, will be shared.

public DispatcherServlet()

Method Detail

setDetectAllHandlerMappings

public void setDetectAllHandlerMappings(boolean detectAllHandlerMappings)

Set whether to detect all HandlerMapping beans in this servlet's context. Else, just a single bean with name "handlerMapping" will be expected.

Default is "true". Turn this off if you want this servlet to use a single HandlerMapping, despite multiple HandlerMapping beans being defined in the context.

setDetectAllHandlerAdapters

public void setDetectAllHandlerAdapters(boolean detectAllHandlerAdapters)

Set whether to detect all HandlerAdapter beans in this servlet's context. Else, just a single bean with name "handlerAdapter" will be expected.

Default is "true". Turn this off if you want this servlet to use a single HandlerAdapter, despite multiple HandlerAdapter beans being defined in the context.

setDetectAllHandlerExceptionResolvers

public void setDetectAllHandlerExceptionResolvers(boolean detectAllHandlerExceptionResolvers)

Set whether to detect all HandlerExceptionResolver beans in this servlet's context. Else, just a single bean with name "handlerExceptionResolver" will be expected.

Default is "true". Turn this off if you want this servlet to use a single HandlerExceptionResolver, despite multiple HandlerExceptionResolver beans being defined in the context.

setDetectAllViewResolvers

public void setDetectAllViewResolvers(boolean detectAllViewResolvers)

Set whether to detect all ViewResolver beans in this servlet's context. Else, just a single bean with name "viewResolver" will be expected.

Default is "true". Turn this off if you want this servlet to use a single ViewResolver, despite multiple ViewResolver beans being defined in the context.

setCleanupAfterInclude

public void setCleanupAfterInclude(boolean cleanupAfterInclude)

Set whether to perform cleanup of request attributes after an include request, that is, whether to reset the original state of all request attributes after the DispatcherServlet has processed within an include request. Else, just the DispatcherServlet's own request attributes will be reset, but not model attributes for JSPs or special attributes set by views (for example, JSTL's).

Default is "true", which is strongly recommended. Views should not rely on request attributes having been set by (dynamic) includes. This allows JSP views rendered by an included controller to use any model attributes, even with the same names as in the main JSP, without causing side effects. Only turn this off for special needs, for example to deliberately allow main JSPs to access attributes from JSP views rendered by an included controller.

setThreadContextInheritable

public void setThreadContextInheritable(boolean threadContextInheritable)

Set whether to expose the LocaleContext and RequestAttributes as inheritable for child threads (using an InheritableThreadLocal).

Default is "false", to avoid side effects on spawned background threads. Switch this to "true" to enable inheritance for custom child threads which are spawned during request processing and only used for this request (that is, ending after their initial task, without reuse of the thread).

WARNING: Do not use inheritance for child threads if you are accessing a thread pool which is configured to potentially add new threads on demand (e.g. a JDK ThreadPoolExecutor), since this will expose the inherited context to such a pooled thread.

onRefresh

protected void onRefresh(ApplicationContext context)
                  throws BeansException

This implementation calls initStrategies(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext).

Overrides:: onRefresh in class FrameworkServlet

Parameters:: context - the current WebApplicationContext
Throws:: BeansException - in case of errors
See Also:: FrameworkServlet.refresh()

initStrategies

protected void initStrategies(ApplicationContext context)

Initialize the strategy objects that this servlet uses.

May be overridden in subclasses in order to initialize further strategy objects.

getThemeSource

public ThemeSource getThemeSource()

Return this servlet's ThemeSource, if any; else return null.

Default is to return the WebApplicationContext as ThemeSource, provided that it implements the ThemeSource interface.

Returns:: the ThemeSource, if any
See Also:: FrameworkServlet.getWebApplicationContext()

getDefaultStrategy

protected Object getDefaultStrategy(ApplicationContext context,
                                    Class strategyInterface)
                             throws BeansException

Return the default strategy object for the given strategy interface.

The default implementation delegates to getDefaultStrategies(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext, java.lang.Class), expecting a single object in the list.

Parameters:: context - the current WebApplicationContext; strategyInterface - the strategy interface
Returns:: the corresponding strategy object
Throws:: BeansException - if initialization failed
See Also:: getDefaultStrategies(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext, java.lang.Class)

getDefaultStrategies

protected List getDefaultStrategies(ApplicationContext context,
                                    Class strategyInterface)
                             throws BeansException

Create a List of default strategy objects for the given strategy interface.

The default implementation uses the "DispatcherServlet.properties" file (in the same package as the DispatcherServlet class) to determine the class names. It instantiates the strategy objects through the context's BeanFactory.

Parameters:: context - the current WebApplicationContext; strategyInterface - the strategy interface
Returns:: the List of corresponding strategy objects
Throws:: BeansException - if initialization failed

createDefaultStrategy

protected Object createDefaultStrategy(ApplicationContext context,
                                       Class clazz)
                                throws BeansException

Create a default strategy.

The default implementation uses AutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(java.lang.Class, int, boolean).

Parameters:: context - the current WebApplicationContext; clazz - the strategy implementation class to instantiate
Returns:: the fully configured strategy instance
Throws:: BeansException - if initialization failed
See Also:: ApplicationContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory(), AutowireCapableBeanFactory.createBean(java.lang.Class, int, boolean)

getMultipartResolver

public MultipartResolver getMultipartResolver()

Obtain this servlet's MultipartResolver, if any.

Returns:: the MultipartResolver used by this servlet, or null if none (indicating that no multipart support is available)

doService

protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request,
                         HttpServletResponse response)
                  throws Exception

doDispatch

protected void doDispatch(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response)
                   throws Exception

Process the actual dispatching to the handler.

The handler will be obtained by applying the servlet's HandlerMappings in order. The HandlerAdapter will be obtained by querying the servlet's installed HandlerAdapters to find the first that supports the handler class.

All HTTP methods are handled by this method. It's up to HandlerAdapters or handlers themselves to decide which methods are acceptable.

Parameters:: request - current HTTP request; response - current HTTP response
Throws:: Exception - in case of any kind of processing failure

buildLocaleContext

protected LocaleContext buildLocaleContext(HttpServletRequest request)

Build a LocaleContext for the given request, exposing the request's primary locale as current locale.

The default implementation uses the dispatcher's LocaleResolver to obtain the current locale, which might change during a request.

Parameters:: request - current HTTP request
Returns:: the corresponding LocaleContext

checkMultipart

protected HttpServletRequest checkMultipart(HttpServletRequest request)
                                     throws MultipartException
