## org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation
Class ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.web.method.annotation.ModelAttributeMethodProcessor
          org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  HandlerMethodArgumentResolver, HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

    public class ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor

extends ModelAttributeMethodProcessor

A Servlet-specific `ModelAttributeMethodProcessor` that applies data binding through a WebDataBinder of type `ServletRequestDataBinder`.

Also adds a fall-back strategy to instantiate the model attribute from a URI template variable or from a request parameter if the name matches the model attribute name and there is an appropriate type conversion strategy.

  3.1

Constructor Detail

### ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor

    public ServletModelAttributeMethodProcessor(boolean annotationNotRequired)

Parameters:
  `annotationNotRequired` - if "true", non-simple method arguments and return values are considered model attributes with or without a `@ModelAttribute` annotation.

Method Detail

### createAttribute

    protected final Object createAttribute(String attributeName,
                                           MethodParameter parameter,
                                           WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory,
                                           NativeWebRequest request)
                                    throws Exception

  Instantiate the model attribute from a URI template variable or from a request parameter if the name matches to the model attribute name and if there is an appropriate type conversion strategy. If none of these are true delegate back to the base class.

  Overrides:
    `createAttribute` in class `ModelAttributeMethodProcessor`
  Parameters:
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute, never `null`
    `parameter` - the method parameter
    `binderFactory` - for creating WebDataBinder instance
    `request` - the current request
  Returns:
    the created model attribute, never `null`
  Throws:
    `Exception`
  See Also:
    `#createAttributeFromUriValue`

### getRequestValueForAttribute

    protected String getRequestValueForAttribute(String attributeName,
                                                 NativeWebRequest request)

  Obtain a value from the request that may be used to instantiate the model attribute through type conversion from String to the target type.

  The default implementation looks for the attribute name to match a URI variable first and then a request parameter.

  Parameters:
    `attributeName` - the model attribute name
    `request` - the current request
  Returns:
    the request value to try to convert or `null`

### getUriTemplateVariables

    protected final Map<String,String> getUriTemplateVariables(NativeWebRequest request)

### createAttributeFromRequestValue

    protected Object createAttributeFromRequestValue(String sourceValue,
                                                     String attributeName,
                                                     MethodParameter parameter,
                                                     WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory,
                                                     NativeWebRequest request)
                                              throws Exception

  Create a model attribute from a String request value (e.g. URI template variable, request parameter) using type conversion.

  The default implementation converts only if there a registered `Converter` that can perform the conversion.

  Parameters:
    `sourceValue` - the source value to create the model attribute from
    `attributeName` - the name of the attribute, never `null`
    `parameter` - the method parameter
    `binderFactory` - for creating WebDataBinder instance
    `request` - the current request
  Returns:
    the created model attribute, or `null`
  Throws:
    `Exception`

### bindRequestParameters

    protected void bindRequestParameters(WebDataBinder binder,
                                         NativeWebRequest request)

  Extension point to bind the request to the target object.

  Downcast `WebDataBinder` to `ServletRequestDataBinder` before binding.

  Overrides:
    `bindRequestParameters` in class `ModelAttributeMethodProcessor`
  Parameters:
    `binder` - the data binder instance to use for the binding
    `request` - the current request
  See Also:
    `ServletRequestDataBinderFactory`
