    public abstract class AbstractUrlHandlerMapping

extends AbstractHandlerMapping

Abstract base class for URL-mapped `HandlerMapping` implementations. Provides infrastructure for mapping handlers to URLs and configurable URL lookup. For information on the latter, see "alwaysUseFullPath" property.

Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" pattern matches both "/test" and "/team", "/test/*" matches all paths in the "/test" directory, "/test/**" matches all paths below "/test". For details, see the `AntPathMatcher` javadoc.

Will search all path patterns to find the most exact match for the current request path. The most exact match is defined as the longest path pattern that matches the current request path.

Constructor Detail

### AbstractUrlHandlerMapping

    public AbstractUrlHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

### setAlwaysUseFullPath

    public void setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean alwaysUseFullPath)

  Set if URL lookup should always use the full path within the current servlet context. Else, the path within the current servlet mapping is used if applicable (that is, in the case of a ".../*" servlet mapping in web.xml).

  Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `UrlPathHelper.setAlwaysUseFullPath(boolean)`

### setUrlDecode

    public void setUrlDecode(boolean urlDecode)

  Set if context path and request URI should be URL-decoded. Both are returned undecoded by the Servlet API, in contrast to the servlet path.

  Uses either the request encoding or the default encoding according to the Servlet spec (ISO-8859-1).

  See Also:
    `UrlPathHelper.setUrlDecode(boolean)`

### setUrlPathHelper

    public void setUrlPathHelper(UrlPathHelper urlPathHelper)

  Set the UrlPathHelper to use for resolution of lookup paths.

  Use this to override the default UrlPathHelper with a custom subclass, or to share common UrlPathHelper settings across multiple HandlerMappings and MethodNameResolvers.

  See Also:
    `AbstractUrlMethodNameResolver.setUrlPathHelper(org.springframework.web.util.UrlPathHelper)`

### setPathMatcher

    public void setPathMatcher(PathMatcher pathMatcher)

  Set the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns. Default is AntPathMatcher.

  See Also:
    `AntPathMatcher`

### getPathMatcher

    public PathMatcher getPathMatcher()

  Return the PathMatcher implementation to use for matching URL paths against registered URL patterns.

### setRootHandler

    public void setRootHandler(Object rootHandler)

  Set the root handler for this handler mapping, that is, the handler to be registered for the root path ("/").

  Default is `null`, indicating no root handler.

### getRootHandler

    public Object getRootHandler()

  Return the root handler for this handler mapping (registered for "/"), or `null` if none.

### setLazyInitHandlers

    public void setLazyInitHandlers(boolean lazyInitHandlers)

  Set whether to lazily initialize handlers. Only applicable to singleton handlers, as prototypes are always lazily initialized. Default is "false", as eager initialization allows for more efficiency through referencing the controller objects directly.

  If you want to allow your controllers to be lazily initialized, make them "lazy-init" and set this flag to true. Just making them "lazy-init" will not work, as they are initialized through the references from the handler mapping in this case.

### getHandlerInternal

    protected Object getHandlerInternal(HttpServletRequest request)
                                 throws Exception

  Look up a handler for the URL path of the given request.

  Specified by:
    `getHandlerInternal` in class `AbstractHandlerMapping`
  Parameters:
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Returns:
    the handler instance, or `null` if none found
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if there is an internal error

### lookupHandler

    protected Object lookupHandler(String urlPath,
                                   HttpServletRequest request)
                            throws Exception

  Look up a handler instance for the given URL path.

  Supports direct matches, e.g. a registered "/test" matches "/test", and various Ant-style pattern matches, e.g. a registered "/t*" matches both "/test" and "/team". For details, see the AntPathMatcher class.

  Looks for the most exact pattern, where most exact is defined as the longest path pattern.

  Parameters:
    `urlPath` - URL the bean is mapped to
    `request` - current HTTP request (to expose the path within the mapping to)
  Returns:
    the associated handler instance, or `null` if not found
  Throws:
    `Exception`
  See Also:
    `exposePathWithinMapping(java.lang.String, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)`, `AntPathMatcher`

### validateHandler

    protected void validateHandler(Object handler,
                                   HttpServletRequest request)
                            throws Exception

  Validate the given handler against the current request.

  The default implementation is empty. Can be overridden in subclasses, for example to enforce specific preconditions expressed in URL mappings.

  Parameters:
    `handler` - the handler object to validate
    `request` - current HTTP request
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if validation failed

### buildPathExposingHandler

    protected Object buildPathExposingHandler(Object rawHandler,
                                              String pathWithinMapping)

  Build a handler object for the given raw handler, exposing the actual handler as well as the `HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE` before executing the handler.

  The default implementation builds a `HandlerExecutionChain` with a special interceptor that exposes the path attribute.

  Parameters:
    `rawHandler` - the raw handler to expose
    `pathWithinMapping` - the path to expose before executing the handler
  Returns:
    the final handler object

### exposePathWithinMapping

    protected void exposePathWithinMapping(String pathWithinMapping,
                                           HttpServletRequest request)

  Expose the path within the current mapping as request attribute.

  Parameters:
    `pathWithinMapping` - the path within the current mapping
    `request` - the request to expose the path to
  See Also:
    `HandlerMapping.PATH_WITHIN_HANDLER_MAPPING_ATTRIBUTE`

### registerHandler

    protected void registerHandler(String[] urlPaths,
                                   String beanName)
                            throws BeansException,
                                   IllegalStateException

  Register the specified handler for the given URL paths.

  Parameters:
    `urlPaths` - the URLs that the bean should be mapped to
    `beanName` - the name of the handler bean
  Throws:
    `BeansException` - if the handler couldn't be registered
    `IllegalStateException` - if there is a conflicting handler registered

### registerHandler

    protected void registerHandler(String urlPath,
                                   Object handler)
                            throws BeansException,
                                   IllegalStateException

  Register the specified handler for the given URL path.

  Parameters:
    `urlPath` - the URL the bean should be mapped to
    `handler` - the handler instance or handler bean name String (a bean name will automatically be resolved into the corresponding handler bean)
  Throws:
    `BeansException` - if the handler couldn't be registered
    `IllegalStateException` - if there is a conflicting handler registered

### getHandlerMap

    public final Map getHandlerMap()

  Return the registered handlers as an unmodifiable Map, with the registered path as key and the handler object (or handler bean name in case of a lazy-init handler) as value.

    `AbstractHandlerMapping.getDefaultHandler()`
