## Class AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver

- java.lang.Object
- - org.springframework.web.method.annotation.AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    HandlerMethodArgumentResolver
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    AbstractCookieValueMethodArgumentResolver, ExpressionValueMethodArgumentResolver, MatrixVariableMethodArgumentResolver, PathVariableMethodArgumentResolver, RequestHeaderMethodArgumentResolver, RequestParamMethodArgumentResolver

      public abstract class AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver
      extends Object
      implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver

  Abstract base class for resolving method arguments from a named value. Request parameters, request headers, and path variables are examples of named values. Each may have a name, a required flag, and a default value.

  Subclasses define how to do the following:

  - Obtain named value information for a method parameter
  - Resolve names into argument values
  - Handle missing argument values when argument values are required
  - Optionally handle a resolved value

  A default value string can contain ${...} placeholders and Spring Expression Language #{...} expressions. For this to work a `ConfigurableBeanFactory` must be supplied to the class constructor.

  A `WebDataBinder` is created to apply type conversion to the resolved argument value if it doesn't match the method parameter type.

    - #### AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver

          public AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver(ConfigurableBeanFactory beanFactory)

      Parameters:
        `beanFactory` - a bean factory to use for resolving ${...} placeholder and #{...} SpEL expressions in default values, or `null` if default values are not expected to contain expressions

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### resolveArgument

          public final Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter,
                               ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
                               NativeWebRequest webRequest,
                               WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory)
                                       throws Exception

      Description copied from interface: `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver`
      Resolves a method parameter into an argument value from a given request. A `ModelAndViewContainer` provides access to the model for the request. A `WebDataBinderFactory` provides a way to create a `WebDataBinder` instance when needed for data binding and type conversion purposes.
      Specified by:
        `resolveArgument` in interface `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver`
      Parameters:
        `parameter` - the method parameter to resolve. This parameter must have previously been passed to `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver.supportsParameter(org.springframework.core.MethodParameter)` and it must have returned `true`
        `mavContainer` - the ModelAndViewContainer for the current request
        `webRequest` - the current request
        `binderFactory` - a factory for creating `WebDataBinder` instances
      Returns:
        the resolved argument value, or `null`.
      Throws:
        `Exception` - in case of errors with the preparation of argument values

    - #### createNamedValueInfo

          protected abstract AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo createNamedValueInfo(MethodParameter parameter)

      Create the `AbstractNamedValueMethodArgumentResolver.NamedValueInfo` object for the given method parameter. Implementations typically retrieve the method annotation by means of `MethodParameter.getParameterAnnotation(Class)`.
      Parameters:
        `parameter` - the method parameter
      Returns:
        the named value information

    - #### resolveName

          protected abstract Object resolveName(String name,
                           MethodParameter parameter,
                           NativeWebRequest request)
                                         throws Exception

      Resolves the given parameter type and value name into an argument value.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the value being resolved
        `parameter` - the method parameter to resolve to an argument value
        `request` - the current request
      Returns:
        the resolved argument. May be `null`
      Throws:
        `Exception` - in case of errors

    - #### handleMissingValue

          protected abstract void handleMissingValue(String name,
                                MethodParameter parameter)
                                              throws ServletException

      Invoked when a named value is required, but `resolveName(String, MethodParameter, NativeWebRequest)` returned `null` and there is no default value. Subclasses typically throw an exception in this case.
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name for the value
        `parameter` - the method parameter
      Throws:
        `ServletException`

    - #### handleResolvedValue

          protected void handleResolvedValue(Object arg,
                                 String name,
                                 MethodParameter parameter,
                                 ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
                                 NativeWebRequest webRequest)

      Invoked after a value is resolved.
      Parameters:
        `arg` - the resolved argument value
        `name` - the argument name
        `parameter` - the argument parameter type
        `mavContainer` - the `ModelAndViewContainer`, which may be `null`
        `webRequest` - the current request
