Is it possible to dynamically set RequestMappings in Spring MVC?

Question

I\'ve been using Spring MVC for three months now. I was considering a good way to dynamically add RequestMapping. This comes from the necessity to put controller parts in a

Answer 1

Following construct configures and implements handler methods in a single class.

It is a combination of dynamic and static mapping - all the MVC annotations can be used like @RequestParam, @PathVariable, @RequestBody, etc.

@RestController annotation creates bean and adds @ResponseBody to every handler method.

@RestController
public class MyController {

    @Inject
    private RequestMappingHandlerMapping handlerMapping;

    /***
     * Register controller methods to various URLs.
     */
    @PostConstruct
    public void init() throws NoSuchMethodException {

        /**
         * When "GET /simpleHandler" is called, invoke, parametrizedHandler(String,
         * HttpServletRequest) method.
         */
        handlerMapping.registerMapping(
                RequestMappingInfo.paths("/simpleHandler").methods(RequestMethod.GET)
                .produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE).build(),
                this,
                // Method to be executed when above conditions apply, i.e.: when HTTP
                // method and URL are called)
                MyController.class.getDeclaredMethod("simpleHandler"));

        /**
         * When "GET /x/y/z/parametrizedHandler" is called invoke
         * parametrizedHandler(String, HttpServletRequest) method.
         */
        handlerMapping.registerMapping(
                RequestMappingInfo.paths("/x/y/z/parametrizedHandler").methods(RequestMethod.GET)
                .produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE).build(),
                this,
                // Method to be executed when above conditions apply, i.e.: when HTTP
                // method and URL are called)
                MyController.class.getDeclaredMethod("parametrizedHandler", String.class, HttpServletRequest.class));
    }

    // GET /simpleHandler
    public List simpleHandler() {
        return Arrays.asList("simpleHandler called");
    }

    // GET /x/y/z/parametrizedHandler
    public ResponseEntity> parametrizedHandler(
            @RequestParam(value = "param1", required = false) String param1,
            HttpServletRequest servletRequest) {
        return ResponseEntity.ok(Arrays.asList("parametrizedHandler called", param1));
    }
}
