Constructor Detail

### DefaultSessionAttributeStore

    public DefaultSessionAttributeStore()

Method Detail

### setAttributeNamePrefix

    public void setAttributeNamePrefix(String attributeNamePrefix)

  Specify a prefix to use for the attribute names in the backend session.

  Default is to use no prefix, storing the session attributes with the same name as in the model.

### storeAttribute

    public void storeAttribute(WebRequest request,
                               String attributeName,
                               Object attributeValue)

  Description copied from interface: `SessionAttributeStore`
  Store the supplied attribute in the backend session.

  Can be called for new attributes as well as for existing attributes. In the latter case, this signals that the attribute value may have been modified.

  Specified by:
    `storeAttribute` in interface `SessionAttributeStore`
  Parameters:
    `request` - the current request
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute
    `attributeValue` - the attribute value to store

### retrieveAttribute

    public Object retrieveAttribute(WebRequest request,
                                    String attributeName)

  Description copied from interface: `SessionAttributeStore`
  Retrieve the specified attribute from the backend session.

  This will typically be called with the expectation that the attribute is already present, with an exception to be thrown if this method returns `null`.

  Specified by:
    `retrieveAttribute` in interface `SessionAttributeStore`
  Parameters:
    `request` - the current request
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute
  Returns:
    the current attribute value, or `null` if none

### cleanupAttribute

    public void cleanupAttribute(WebRequest request,
                                 String attributeName)

  Description copied from interface: `SessionAttributeStore`
  Clean up the specified attribute in the backend session.

  Indicates that the attribute name will not be used anymore.

  Specified by:
    `cleanupAttribute` in interface `SessionAttributeStore`
  Parameters:
    `request` - the current request
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute

### getAttributeNameInSession

    protected String getAttributeNameInSession(WebRequest request,
                                               String attributeName)

  Calculate the attribute name in the backend session.

  The default implementation simply prepends the configured `"attributeNamePrefix"`, if any.

  Parameters:
    `request` - the current request
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute
  Returns:
    the attribute name in the backend session
