All Implemented Interfaces:
  ApplicationContextAware, Ordered, HandlerMapping

    public class ParameterHandlerMapping

extends AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<String>

Implementation of the `HandlerMapping` to map from a request parameter to request handler beans.

The default name of the parameter is "action", but can be changed using `setParameterName()`.

The bean configuration for this mapping will look somthing like this:

     <bean id="parameterHandlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.portlet.handler.ParameterHandlerMapping">
       <property name="parameterMap">
         <map>
                 <entry key="add"><ref bean="addItemHandler"/></entry>
           <entry key="edit"><ref bean="editItemHandler"/></entry>
           <entry key="delete"><ref bean="deleteItemHandler"/></entry>
         </map>
       </property>
     </bean>

Thanks to Rainer Schmitz for suggesting this mapping strategy!

Field Detail

### DEFAULT_PARAMETER_NAME

    public static final String DEFAULT_PARAMETER_NAME

  Default request parameter name to use for mapping to handlers: "action".

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### ParameterHandlerMapping

    public ParameterHandlerMapping()

Method Detail

### setParameterName

    public void setParameterName(String parameterName)

  Set the name of the parameter used for mapping to handlers.

  Default is "action".

### setParameterMap

    public void setParameterMap(Map<String,?> parameterMap)

  Set a Map with parameters as keys and handler beans or bean names as values. Convenient for population with bean references.

  Parameters:
    `parameterMap` - map with parameters as keys and beans as values

### initApplicationContext

    public void initApplicationContext()
                                throws BeansException

  Calls the `registerHandlers` method in addition to the superclass's initialization.

  Overrides:
    `initApplicationContext` in class `AbstractHandlerMapping`
  Throws:
    `ApplicationContextException` - in case of initialization errors
    `BeansException` - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods
  See Also:
    `AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping.registerHandlers(java.util.Map<K, ?>)`

### getLookupKey

    protected String getLookupKey(javax.portlet.PortletRequest request)
                           throws Exception

  Uses the value of the specified parameter as lookup key.

  Specified by:
    `getLookupKey` in class `AbstractMapBasedHandlerMapping<String>`
  Parameters:
    `request` - current portlet request
  Returns:
    the lookup key (never `null`)
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if key computation failed

    `setParameterName(java.lang.String)`
