public abstract Class WebApplicationObjectSupport

extends ApplicationObjectSupport
implements ServletContextAware
Class Inheritance
All Implemented Interfaces
org.springframework.web.context.ServletContextAware, org.springframework.beans.factory.Aware
Imports
java.io.File, jakarta.servlet.ServletContext, org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext, org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport, org.springframework.lang.Nullable, org.springframework.util.Assert, org.springframework.web.context.ServletContextAware, .WebApplicationContext, org.springframework.web.util.WebUtils
Convenient superclass for application objects running in a WebApplicationContext. Provides getWebApplicationContext(), getServletContext(), and getTempDir() accessors.

Note

It is generally recommended to use individual callback interfaces for the actual callbacks needed. This broad base class is primarily intended for use within the framework, in case of ServletContext access etc typically being needed.

Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
protected final ServletContext
getServletContext()

Return the current ServletContext.

protected final File

Returns:

the File representing the temporary directory
getTempDir()

Return the temporary directory for the current web application, as provided by the servlet container.

protected final WebApplicationContext
getWebApplicationContext()

Return the current application context as WebApplicationContext.

protected void
initApplicationContext(ApplicationContext
the containing ApplicationContext
context)

Overrides org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport.initApplicationContext.

Calls initServletContext(jakarta.servlet.ServletContext) if the given ApplicationContext is a WebApplicationContext.
protected void
initServletContext(ServletContext
the ServletContext that this application object runs in (never null)
servletContext)

Subclasses may override this for custom initialization based on the ServletContext that this application object runs in.

The default implementation is empty.

protected boolean
isContextRequired()

Overrides org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport.isContextRequired.

Overrides the base class behavior to enforce running in an ApplicationContext.
public final void
setServletContext(ServletContext
the ServletContext object to be used by this object
servletContext)

Implements org.springframework.web.context.ServletContextAware.setServletContext.

Set the ServletContext that this object runs in.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method.

protected final WebApplicationContext getWebApplicationContext() throws IllegalStateException

Return the current application context as WebApplicationContext.

Note

Only use this if you actually need to access WebApplicationContext-specific functionality. Preferably use getApplicationContext() or getServletContext() else, to be able to run in non-WebApplicationContext environments as well.

protected void initServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)

Subclasses may override this for custom initialization based on the ServletContext that this application object runs in.

The default implementation is empty. Called by initApplicationContext(org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext) as well as setServletContext(jakarta.servlet.ServletContext).

Parameters
servletContext:ServletContext

isContextRequiredback to summary
protected boolean isContextRequired()

Overrides org.springframework.context.support.ApplicationObjectSupport.isContextRequired.

Overrides the base class behavior to enforce running in an ApplicationContext. All accessors will throw IllegalStateException if not running in a context.
