public class MarshallingView
extends AbstractView

Spring-MVC View that allows for response context to be rendered as the result of marshalling by a Marshaller.

The Object to be marshalled is supplied as a parameter in the model and then detected during response rendering. Users can either specify a specific entry in the model via the sourceKey property or have Spring locate the Source object.

Default content type. Overridable as bean property.

Constructor Detail

MarshallingView

public MarshallingView()

Construct a new MarshallingView with no Marshaller set. The marshaller must be set after construction by invoking setMarshaller(org.springframework.oxm.Marshaller).

MarshallingView

public MarshallingView(org.springframework.oxm.Marshaller marshaller)

Constructs a new MarshallingView with the given Marshaller set.

Method Detail

setMarshaller

public void setMarshaller(org.springframework.oxm.Marshaller marshaller)

Set the Marshaller to be used by this view.

setModelKey

public void setModelKey(String modelKey)

Set the name of the model key that represents the object to be marshalled. If not specified, the model map will be searched for a supported value type.

Marshaller.supports(Class)

initApplicationContext

protected void initApplicationContext()

Overrides:

initApplicationContext in class org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport

renderMergedOutputModel

protected void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model,
                                       HttpServletRequest request,
                                       HttpServletResponse response)
                                throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractView

Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

Specified by:

renderMergedOutputModel in class AbstractView

Parameters:

model - combined output Map (never null), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

Throws:

Exception - if rendering failed

locateToBeMarshalled

@Nullable
protected Object locateToBeMarshalled(Map<String,Object> model)
                                         throws IllegalStateException

Locate the object to be marshalled.

The default implementation first attempts to look under the configured model key, if any, before attempting to locate an object of supported type.

Parameters:

model - the model Map

Returns:

the Object to be marshalled (or null if none found)

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the model object specified by the model key is not supported by the marshaller

See Also:

setModelKey(String)

isEligibleForMarshalling

protected boolean isEligibleForMarshalling(String modelKey,
                                           Object value)

Check whether the given value from the current view's model is eligible for marshalling through the configured Marshaller.

The default implementation calls Marshaller.supports(Class), unwrapping a given JAXBElement first if applicable.

Parameters:

modelKey - the value's key in the model (never null)

value - the value to check (never null)

Returns:

whether the given value is to be considered as eligible
