ViewResolver

org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Interface to be implemented by objects that can resolve views by name.

View state doesn't change during the running of the application, so implementations are free to cache views.

Implementations are encouraged to support internationalization, i.e. localized view resolution.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract View resolveViewName(String viewName, Locale locale)
Resolve the given view by name.

Public Methods

public abstract View resolveViewName (String viewName, Locale locale)

Resolve the given view by name.

Note: To allow for ViewResolver chaining, a ViewResolver should return null if a view with the given name is not defined in it. However, this is not required: Some ViewResolvers will always attempt to build View objects with the given name, unable to return null (rather throwing an exception when View creation failed).

Parameters
viewName name of the view to resolve
locale Locale in which to resolve the view. ViewResolvers that support internationalization should respect this.
Returns
  • the View object, or null if not found (optional, to allow for ViewResolver chaining)
Throws
Exception if the view cannot be resolved (typically in case of problems creating an actual View object)
