/**
 * Plain handler interface for components that process HTTP requests,
 * analogous to a Servlet. Only declares {@link javax.servlet.ServletException}
 * and {@link java.io.IOException}, to allow for usage within any
 * {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet}. This interface is essentially the
 * direct equivalent of an HttpServlet, reduced to a central handle method.
 *
 * 

The easiest way to expose an HttpRequestHandler bean in Spring style * is to define it in Spring's root web application context and define * an {@link org.springframework.web.context.support.HttpRequestHandlerServlet} * in {@code web.xml}, pointing to the target HttpRequestHandler bean * through its {@code servlet-name} which needs to match the target bean name. * *

Supported as a handler type within Spring's * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet}, being able * to interact with the dispatcher's advanced mapping and interception * facilities. This is the recommended way of exposing an HttpRequestHandler, * while keeping the handler implementations free of direct dependencies * on a DispatcherServlet environment. * *

Typically implemented to generate binary responses directly, * with no separate view resource involved. This differentiates it from a * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller} within Spring's Web MVC * framework. The lack of a {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView} * return value gives a clearer signature to callers other than the * DispatcherServlet, indicating that there will never be a view to render. * *

As of Spring 2.0, Spring's HTTP-based remote exporters, such as * {@link org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter} * and {@link org.springframework.remoting.caucho.HessianServiceExporter}, * implement this interface rather than the more extensive Controller interface, * for minimal dependencies on Spring-specific web infrastructure. * *

Note that HttpRequestHandlers may optionally implement the * {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.LastModified} interface, * just like Controllers can, provided that they run within Spring's * DispatcherServlet. However, this is usually not necessary, since * HttpRequestHandlers typically only support POST requests to begin with. * Alternatively, a handler may implement the "If-Modified-Since" HTTP * header processing manually within its {@code handle} method. * * @author Juergen Hoeller * @since 2.0 * @see org.springframework.web.context.support.HttpRequestHandlerServlet * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.Controller * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.LastModified * @see org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.HttpRequestHandlerAdapter * @see org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter * @see org.springframework.remoting.caucho.HessianServiceExporter */ @FunctionalInterface public interface HttpRequestHandler { /** * Process the given request, generating a response. * @param request current HTTP request * @param response current HTTP response * @throws ServletException in case of general errors * @throws IOException in case of I/O errors */ void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException; }
