Interface RequestBodyAdvice

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    JsonViewRequestBodyAdvice, RequestBodyAdviceAdapter
    public interface RequestBodyAdvice
    Allows customizing the request before its body is read and converted into an Object and also allows for processing of the resulting Object before it is passed into a controller method as an @RequestBody or an HttpEntity method argument.

    Implementations of this contract may be registered directly with the RequestMappingHandlerAdapter or more likely annotated with @ControllerAdvice in which case they are auto-detected.

        boolean supports​(MethodParameter methodParameter,
                 Type targetType,
                 Class<? extends HttpMessageConverter<?>> converterType)
        Invoked first to determine if this interceptor applies.
        Parameters:
        methodParameter - the method parameter
        targetType - the target type, not necessarily the same as the method parameter type, e.g. for HttpEntity<String>.
        converterType - the selected converter type
        Returns:
        whether this interceptor should be invoked or not

      • handleEmptyBody

        Object handleEmptyBody​(Object body,
                       HttpInputMessage inputMessage,
                       MethodParameter parameter,
                       Type targetType,
                       Class<? extends HttpMessageConverter<?>> converterType)
        Invoked second (and last) if the body is empty.
        Parameters:
        body - set to null before the first advice is called
        inputMessage - the request

        Returns:
        the value to use or null which may then raise an HttpMessageNotReadableException if the argument is required.

      • beforeBodyRead

        HttpInputMessage beforeBodyRead​(HttpInputMessage inputMessage,
                                MethodParameter parameter,

        Returns:
        the input request or a new instance, never null
