Method Detail

initWebApplicationContext

protected WebApplicationContext initWebApplicationContext()

Initialize and publish the WebApplicationContext for this servlet. Delegates to createWebApplicationContext for actual creation. Can be overridden in subclasses.

Overrides:

initWebApplicationContext in class FrameworkServlet

See Also:

FrameworkServlet.createWebApplicationContext(org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext)

service

public final void service(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                          javax.servlet.ServletResponse response)
                   throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                          java.io.IOException

Specified by:

service in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

service in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

java.io.IOException

initFrameworkServlet

protected final void initFrameworkServlet()
                                   throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Overridden method, invoked after any bean properties have been set and the WebApplicationContext and BeanFactory for this namespace is available.

Loads HandlerMapping and HandlerAdapter objects, and configures a ViewResolver and a LocaleResolver.

Overrides:

initFrameworkServlet in class DispatcherServlet

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case of an initialization exception

initDispatcherServlet

protected void initDispatcherServlet()
                              throws javax.servlet.ServletException

This method will be invoked after any bean properties have been set and the WebApplicationContext has been loaded. The default implementation is empty; subclasses may override this method to perform any initialization they require.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - in case of an initialization exception

BeansException - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods

getHandlerAdapter

protected final HandlerAdapter getHandlerAdapter(java.lang.Object handler)
                                          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Return the HandlerAdapter for this handler object.

Overrides:

getHandlerAdapter in class DispatcherServlet

Parameters:

handler - the handler object to find an adapter for

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - if no HandlerAdapter can be found for the handler. This is a fatal error.

processHandlerException

protected final ModelAndView processHandlerException(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                                     javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                                                     java.lang.Object handler,
                                                     java.lang.Exception ex)
                                              throws java.lang.Exception

Determine an error ModelAndView via the registered HandlerExceptionResolvers.

Overrides:

processHandlerException in class DispatcherServlet

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

handler - the executed handler, or null if none chosen at the time of the exception (for example, if multipart resolution failed)

ex - the exception that got thrown during handler execution

Returns:

a corresponding ModelAndView to forward to

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if no error ModelAndView found
