  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setOrder

          public final void setOrder(int order)

      Specify the order value for this HandlerMapping bean.

      Default value is `Integer.MAX_VALUE`, meaning that it's non-ordered.

      See Also:
        `Ordered.getOrder()`

    - #### getOrder

          public final int getOrder()

      Description copied from interface: `Ordered`
      Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

      Normally starting with 0, with `Integer.MAX_VALUE` indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

      Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

      Specified by:
        `getOrder` in interface `Ordered`
      Returns:
        the order value

    - #### setDefaultHandler

          public void setDefaultHandler(Object defaultHandler)

      Set the default handler for this handler mapping. This handler will be returned if no specific mapping was found.

      Default is `null`, indicating no default handler.

    - #### getDefaultHandler

          public Object getDefaultHandler()

      Return the default handler for this handler mapping, or `null` if none.

    - #### setInterceptors

          public void setInterceptors(Object[] interceptors)

      Set the interceptors to apply for all handlers mapped by this handler mapping.

      Supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor and WebRequestInterceptor. Each given WebRequestInterceptor will be wrapped in a WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter.

      Parameters:
        `interceptors` - array of handler interceptors, or `null` if none
      See Also:
        `adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object)`, `HandlerInterceptor`, `WebRequestInterceptor`

    - #### setApplyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly

          public void setApplyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly(boolean applyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly)

      Specify whether to apply WebRequestInterceptors to the Portlet render phase only ("true", or whether to apply them to the Portlet action phase as well ("false").

      Default is "true", since WebRequestInterceptors are usually built for MVC-style handler execution plus rendering process (which is, for example, the primary target scenario for "Open Session in View" interceptors, offering lazy loading of persistent objects during view rendering). Set this to "false" to have WebRequestInterceptors apply to the action phase as well (for example, in case of an "Open Session in View" interceptor, to allow for lazy loading outside of a transaction during the action phase).

      See Also:
        `setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])`, `WebRequestInterceptor`, `WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter.WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter(WebRequestInterceptor, boolean)`, `OpenSessionInViewInterceptor`

    - #### initApplicationContext

          protected void initApplicationContext()
                                         throws BeansException

      Initializes the interceptors.
      Overrides:
        `initApplicationContext` in class `ApplicationObjectSupport`
      Throws:
        `ApplicationContextException` - in case of initialization errors
        `BeansException` - if thrown by ApplicationContext methods
      See Also:
        `extendInterceptors(java.util.List)`, `initInterceptors()`

    - #### extendInterceptors

          protected void extendInterceptors(List interceptors)

      Extension hook that subclasses can override to register additional interceptors, given the configured interceptors (see `setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])`).

      Will be invoked before `initInterceptors()` adapts the specified interceptors into `HandlerInterceptor` instances.

      The default implementation is empty.

      Parameters:
        `interceptors` - the configured interceptor List (never `null`), allowing to add further interceptors before as well as after the existing interceptors

    - #### initInterceptors

          protected void initInterceptors()

      Initialize the specified interceptors, adapting them where necessary.
      See Also:
        `setInterceptors(java.lang.Object[])`, `adaptInterceptor(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### adaptInterceptor

          protected HandlerInterceptor adaptInterceptor(Object interceptor)

      Adapt the given interceptor object to the HandlerInterceptor interface.

      Supported interceptor types are HandlerInterceptor and WebRequestInterceptor. Each given WebRequestInterceptor will be wrapped in a WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter. Can be overridden in subclasses.

      Parameters:
        `interceptor` - the specified interceptor object
      Returns:
        the interceptor wrapped as HandlerInterceptor
      See Also:
        `setApplyWebRequestInterceptorsToRenderPhaseOnly(boolean)`, `HandlerInterceptor`, `WebRequestInterceptor`, `WebRequestHandlerInterceptorAdapter`

    - #### getAdaptedInterceptors

          protected final HandlerInterceptor[] getAdaptedInterceptors()

      Return the adapted interceptors as HandlerInterceptor array.
      Returns:
        the array of HandlerInterceptors, or `null` if none

    - #### getHandler

          public final HandlerExecutionChain getHandler(PortletRequest request)
                                                 throws Exception

      Look up a handler for the given request, falling back to the default handler if no specific one is found.
      Specified by:
        `getHandler` in interface `HandlerMapping`
      Parameters:
        `request` - current portlet request
      Returns:
        the corresponding handler instance, or the default handler
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if there is an internal error
      See Also:
        `getHandlerInternal(javax.portlet.PortletRequest)`

    - #### getHandlerInternal

          protected abstract Object getHandlerInternal(PortletRequest request)
                                                throws Exception

      Look up a handler for the given request, returning `null` if no specific one is found. This method is called by `getHandler(javax.portlet.PortletRequest)`; a `null` return value will lead to the default handler, if one is set.

      Note: This method may also return a pre-built `HandlerExecutionChain`, combining a handler object with dynamically determined interceptors. Statically specified interceptors will get merged into such an existing chain.

      Parameters:
        `request` - current portlet request
      Returns:
        the corresponding handler instance, or `null` if none found
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if there is an internal error
      See Also:
        `getHandler(javax.portlet.PortletRequest)`

    - #### getHandlerExecutionChain

          protected HandlerExecutionChain getHandlerExecutionChain(Object handler,
                                                       PortletRequest request)

      Build a HandlerExecutionChain for the given handler, including applicable interceptors.

      The default implementation simply builds a standard HandlerExecutionChain with the given handler and this handler mapping's common interceptors. Subclasses may override this in order to extend/rearrange the list of interceptors.

      NOTE: The passed-in handler object may be a raw handler or a pre-built HandlerExecutionChain. This method should handle those two cases explicitly, either building a new HandlerExecutionChain or extending the existing chain.

      For simply adding an interceptor, consider calling `super.getHandlerExecutionChain` and invoking `HandlerExecutionChain.addInterceptor(org.springframework.web.portlet.HandlerInterceptor)` on the returned chain object.

      Parameters:
        `handler` - the resolved handler instance (never `null`)
        `request` - current portlet request
      Returns:
        the HandlerExecutionChain (never `null`)
