public abstract class BaseCommandController
extends AbstractController

Controller implementation which creates an object (the command object) on receipt of a request and attempts to populate this object with request parameters.

This controller is the base for all controllers wishing to populate JavaBeans based on request parameters, validate the content of such JavaBeans using Validators and use custom editors (in the form of PropertyEditors) to transform objects into strings and vice versa, for example. Three notions are mentioned here:

Command class:
An instance of the command class will be created for each request and populated with request parameters. A command class can basically be any Java class; the only requirement is a no-arg constructor. The command class should preferably be a JavaBean in order to be able to populate bean properties with request parameters.

Populating using request parameters and PropertyEditors:
Upon receiving a request, any BaseCommandController will attempt to fill the command object using the request parameters. This is done using the typical and well-known JavaBeans property notation. When a request parameter named 'firstName' exists, the framework will attempt to call setFirstName([value]) passing the value of the parameter. Nested properties are of course supported. For instance a parameter named 'address.city' will result in a getAddress().setCity([value]) call on the command class.

It's important to realise that you are not limited to String arguments in your JavaBeans. Using the PropertyEditor-notion as supplied by the java.beans package, you will be able to transform Strings to Objects and the other way around. For instance setLocale(Locale loc) is perfectly possible for a request parameter named locale having a value of en, as long as you register the appropriate PropertyEditor in the Controller (see initBinder() for more information on that matter.

Validators: After the controller has successfully populated the command object with parameters from the request, it will use any configured validators to validate the object. Validation results will be put in a Errors object which can be used in a View to render any input problems.

Workflow (and that defined by superclass):
Since this class is an abstract base class for more specific implementation, it does not override the handleRequestInternal() method and also has no actual workflow. Implementing classes like AbstractFormController, AbstractcommandController, SimpleFormController and AbstractWizardFormController provide actual functionality and workflow. More information on workflow performed by superclasses can be found here.

Exposed configuration properties (and those defined by superclass):

name	default	description
commandName	command	the name to use when binding the instantiated command class to the request
commandClass	null	the class to use upon receiving a request and which to fill using the request parameters. What object is used and whether or not it should be created is defined by extending classes and their configuration properties and methods.
validators	null	Array of Validator beans. The validator will be called at appropriate places in the workflow of subclasses (have a look at those for more info) to validate the command object.
validator	null	Short-form property for setting only one Validator bean (usually passed in using a <ref bean="beanId"/> property.
validateOnBinding	true	Indicates whether or not to validate the command object after the object has been populated with request parameters.

---

getCommand

protected Object getCommand(HttpServletRequest request)
                     throws Exception

Exception - if the command object could not be obtained

See Also:

createCommand()

---

This implementation uses BeanUtils.instantiateClass, so the command needs to have a no-arg constructor (supposed to be public, but not required to).

Returns:

the new command instance

Throws:

Exception - if the command object could not be instantiated

See Also:

BeanUtils.instantiateClass(Class)

---

checkCommand

Bind the parameters of the given request to the given command object.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

the ServletRequestDataBinder instance for additional custom validation

Throws:

Exception - in case of invalid state or arguments

---

suppressBinding

protected boolean suppressBinding(HttpServletRequest request)

Return whether to suppress binding for the given request.

The default implementation always returns "false". Can be overridden in subclasses to suppress validation, for example, if a special request parameter is set.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

Returns:

whether to suppress binding for the given request

See Also:

suppressValidation(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object, org.springframework.validation.BindException)

---

                                                Object command)
                                         throws Exception

Create a new binder instance for the given command and request.

Called by bindAndValidate(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object). Can be overridden to plug in custom ServletRequestDataBinder instances.

The default implementation creates a standard ServletRequestDataBinder and invokes prepareBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder) and initBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder).

Note that neither prepareBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder) nor initBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder) will be invoked automatically if you override this method! Call those methods at appropriate points of your overridden method.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

command - the command to bind onto

Returns:

the new binder instance

Throws:

Exception - in case of invalid state or arguments

See Also:

bindAndValidate(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object), prepareBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder), initBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder)

---

prepareBinder

protected final void prepareBinder(ServletRequestDataBinder binder)

Prepare the given binder, applying the specified MessageCodesResolver, BindingErrorProcessor and PropertyEditorRegistrars (if any). Called by createBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

binder - the new binder instance

See Also:

createBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object), setMessageCodesResolver(org.springframework.validation.MessageCodesResolver), setBindingErrorProcessor(org.springframework.validation.BindingErrorProcessor)

---

useDirectFieldAccess

protected boolean useDirectFieldAccess()

Determine whether to use direct field access instead of bean property access. Applied by prepareBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder).

Default is "false". Can be overridden in subclasses.

Returns:

whether to use direct field access (true) or bean property access (false)

See Also:

prepareBinder(org.springframework.web.bind.ServletRequestDataBinder), DataBinder.initDirectFieldAccess()

---

initBinder

protected void initBinder(HttpServletRequest request,
                          ServletRequestDataBinder binder)
                   throws Exception

Initialize the given binder instance, for example with custom editors. Called by createBinder(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.lang.Object).

This method allows you to register custom editors for certain fields of your command class. For instance, you will be able to transform Date objects into a String pattern and back, in order to allow your JavaBeans to have Date properties and still be able to set and display them in an HTML interface.

The default implementation is empty.

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

binder - the new binder instance

Throws:

Exception - in case of invalid state or arguments
