Class HandlerMethod

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.web.method.HandlerMethod

Direct Known Subclasses:

InvocableHandlerMethod, InvocableHandlerMethod, SyncInvocableHandlerMethod

public class HandlerMethod
extends Object

Encapsulates information about a handler method consisting of a method and a bean. Provides convenient access to method parameters, the method return value, method annotations, etc.

The class may be created with a bean instance or with a bean name (e.g. lazy-init bean, prototype bean). Use createWithResolvedBean() to obtain a HandlerMethod instance with a bean instance resolved through the associated BeanFactory.

3.1

Logger that is available to subclasses.

Constructor Details

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(Object bean,
 Method method)

Create an instance from a bean instance and a method.

HandlerMethod

protected HandlerMethod(Object bean,
 Method method,
 @Nullable
 MessageSource messageSource)

Variant of HandlerMethod(Object, Method) that also accepts a MessageSource for use from subclasses.

Since:

5.3.10

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(Object bean,
 String methodName,
 Class<?>... parameterTypes)
              throws NoSuchMethodException

Create an instance from a bean instance, method name, and parameter types.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - when the method cannot be found

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(String beanName,
 BeanFactory beanFactory,
 Method method)

Create an instance from a bean name, a method, and a BeanFactory. The method createWithResolvedBean() may be used later to re-create the HandlerMethod with an initialized bean.

HandlerMethod

public HandlerMethod(String beanName,
 BeanFactory beanFactory,
 @Nullable
 MessageSource messageSource,
 Method method)

Variant of HandlerMethod(String, BeanFactory, Method) that also accepts a MessageSource.

HandlerMethod

protected HandlerMethod(HandlerMethod handlerMethod)

Copy constructor for use in subclasses.

Method Details

getBean

public Object getBean()

Return the bean for this handler method.

getMethod

public Method getMethod()

Return the method for this handler method.

getBeanType

public Class<?> getBeanType()

This method returns the type of the handler for this handler method.

Note that if the bean type is a CGLIB-generated class, the original user-defined class is returned.

getBridgedMethod

protected Method getBridgedMethod()

If the bean method is a bridge method, this method returns the bridged (user-defined) method. Otherwise, it returns the same method as getMethod().

getMethodParameters

public MethodParameter[] getMethodParameters()

Return the method parameters for this handler method.

getResponseStatus

@Nullable
protected HttpStatusCode getResponseStatus()

Return the specified response status, if any.

Since:

4.3.8

See Also:

• ResponseStatus.code()

getResponseStatusReason

@Nullable
protected String getResponseStatusReason()

Return the associated response status reason, if any.

Since:

4.3.8

See Also:

• ResponseStatus.reason()

getReturnType

public MethodParameter getReturnType()

Return the HandlerMethod return type.

getReturnValueType

public MethodParameter getReturnValueType(@Nullable
 Object returnValue)

Return the actual return value type.

isVoid

public boolean isVoid()

Return true if the method return type is void, false otherwise.

getMethodAnnotation

@Nullable
public <A extends Annotation> A getMethodAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Return a single annotation on the underlying method traversing its super methods if no annotation can be found on the given method itself.

Also supports merged composed annotations with attribute overrides as of Spring Framework 4.2.2.

Parameters:

annotationType - the type of annotation to introspect the method for

Returns:

the annotation, or null if none found

See Also:

• AnnotatedElementUtils.findMergedAnnotation(java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.Class<A>)

hasMethodAnnotation

public <A extends Annotation> boolean hasMethodAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Return whether the parameter is declared with the given annotation type.

Parameters:

annotationType - the annotation type to look for

Since:

4.3

See Also:

• AnnotatedElementUtils.hasAnnotation(java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>)

getResolvedFromHandlerMethod

@Nullable
public HandlerMethod getResolvedFromHandlerMethod()

Return the HandlerMethod from which this HandlerMethod instance was resolved via createWithResolvedBean().

createWithResolvedBean

public HandlerMethod createWithResolvedBean()

If the provided instance contains a bean name rather than an object instance, the bean name is resolved before a HandlerMethod is created and returned.

getShortLogMessage

public String getShortLogMessage()

Return a short representation of this handler method for log message purposes.

equals

public boolean equals(@Nullable
 Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

findProvidedArgument

@Nullable
protected static Object findProvidedArgument(MethodParameter parameter,
 @Nullable
 Object... providedArgs)

formatArgumentError

protected static String formatArgumentError(MethodParameter param,
 String message)

assertTargetBean

protected void assertTargetBean(Method method,
 Object targetBean,
 Object[] args)

Assert that the target bean class is an instance of the class where the given method is declared. In some cases the actual controller instance at request- processing time may be a JDK dynamic proxy (lazy initialization, prototype beans, and others). @Controller's that require proxying should prefer class-based proxy mechanisms.

formatInvokeError

protected String formatInvokeError(String text,
 Object[] args)
