org.springframework.web.servlet.HandlerAdapter |
Known Indirect Subclasses |
MVC framework SPI interface, allowing parameterization of core MVC workflow.
Interface that must be implemented for each handler type to handle a request.
This interface is used to allow the DispatcherServlet
to be indefinitely
extensible. The DispatcherServlet accesses all installed handlers through this
interface, meaning that it does not contain code specific to any handler type.
Note that a handler can be of type Object
. This is to enable
handlers from other frameworks to be integrated with this framework without
custom coding, as well as to allow for annotation handler objects that do
not obey any specific Java interface.
This interface is not intended for application developers. It is available to handlers who want to develop their own web workflow.
Note: HandlerAdaptger implementators may implement the
Ordered
interface to be able to specify a
sorting order (and thus a priority) for getting applied by DispatcherServlet.
Non-Ordered instances get treated as lowest priority.

Given a handler instance, return whether or not this HandlerAdapter can support it. Typical HandlerAdapters will base the decision on the handler type. HandlerAdapters will usually only support one handler type each.
A typical implementation:
return (handler instanceof MyHandler);
