Spring MVC 判定返回view的依据

• 问题起因
  利用@Controller注解可以在一些特定条件下返回view视图，两段看似长得相近的代码却是截然不同的处理，如下：

@Controller
public class TestController {
	@GetMapping("/test1")
	public void delete(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
		System.out.println("test1");
	}

	@GetMapping("/test2")
	public void delete(HttpServletRequest request) {
		System.out.println("test2");
	}
}

test1能够顺利返回，test2却会报错：找不到test2这个视图，如下：

从Spring的DispatcherServlet开始进行分析：

	@Override
	protected void doService(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
			String resumed = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).hasConcurrentResult() ? " resumed" : "";
			logger.debug("DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() + "'" + resumed +
					" processing " + request.getMethod() + " request for [" + getRequestUri(request) + "]");
		}

		// Keep a snapshot of the request attributes in case of an include,
		// to be able to restore the original attributes after the include.
		Map<String, Object> attributesSnapshot = null;
		if (WebUtils.isIncludeRequest(request)) {
			attributesSnapshot = new HashMap<String, Object>();
			Enumeration<?> attrNames = request.getAttributeNames();
			while (attrNames.hasMoreElements()) {
				String attrName = (String) attrNames.nextElement();
				if (this.cleanupAfterInclude || attrName.startsWith(DEFAULT_STRATEGIES_PREFIX)) {
					attributesSnapshot.put(attrName, request.getAttribute(attrName));
				}
			}
		}

		// Make framework objects available to handlers and view objects.
		request.setAttribute(WEB_APPLICATION_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE, getWebApplicationContext());
		request.setAttribute(LOCALE_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.localeResolver);
		request.setAttribute(THEME_RESOLVER_ATTRIBUTE, this.themeResolver);
		request.setAttribute(THEME_SOURCE_ATTRIBUTE, getThemeSource());

		FlashMap inputFlashMap = this.flashMapManager.retrieveAndUpdate(request, response);
		if (inputFlashMap != null) {
			request.setAttribute(INPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, Collections.unmodifiableMap(inputFlashMap));
		}
		request.setAttribute(OUTPUT_FLASH_MAP_ATTRIBUTE, new FlashMap());
		request.setAttribute(FLASH_MAP_MANAGER_ATTRIBUTE, this.flashMapManager);

		try {
			doDispatch(request, response);
		}
		finally {
			if (!WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
				// Restore the original attribute snapshot, in case of an include.
				if (attributesSnapshot != null) {
					restoreAttributesAfterInclude(request, attributesSnapshot);
				}
			}
		}
	}

	protected void doDispatch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
		HttpServletRequest processedRequest = request;
		HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler = null;
		boolean multipartRequestParsed = false;

		WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);

		try {
			ModelAndView mv = null;
			Exception dispatchException = null;

			try {
				processedRequest = checkMultipart(request);
				multipartRequestParsed = (processedRequest != request);

				// Determine handler for the current request.
				mappedHandler = getHandler(processedRequest);
				if (mappedHandler == null || mappedHandler.getHandler() == null) {
					noHandlerFound(processedRequest, response);
					return;
				}

				// Determine handler adapter for the current request.
				HandlerAdapter ha = getHandlerAdapter(mappedHandler.getHandler());

				// Process last-modified header, if supported by the handler.
				String method = request.getMethod();
				boolean isGet = "GET".equals(method);
				if (isGet || "HEAD".equals(method)) {
					long lastModified = ha.getLastModified(request, mappedHandler.getHandler());
					if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
						logger.debug("Last-Modified value for [" + getRequestUri(request) + "] is: " + lastModified);
					}
					if (new ServletWebRequest(request, response).checkNotModified(lastModified) && isGet) {
						return;
					}
				}

				if (!mappedHandler.applyPreHandle(processedRequest, response)) {
					return;
				}

				// Actually invoke the handler.
				mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());

				if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
					return;
				}

				applyDefaultViewName(processedRequest, mv);
				mappedHandler.applyPostHandle(processedRequest, response, mv);
			}
			catch (Exception ex) {
				dispatchException = ex;
			}
			catch (Throwable err) {
				// As of 4.3, we're processing Errors thrown from handler methods as well,
				// making them available for @ExceptionHandler methods and other scenarios.
				dispatchException = new NestedServletException("Handler dispatch failed", err);
			}
			processDispatchResult(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, mv, dispatchException);
		}
		catch (Exception ex) {
			triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler, ex);
		}
		catch (Throwable err) {
			triggerAfterCompletion(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler,
					new NestedServletException("Handler processing failed", err));
		}
		finally {
			if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
				// Instead of postHandle and afterCompletion
				if (mappedHandler != null) {
					mappedHandler.applyAfterConcurrentHandlingStarted(processedRequest, response);
				}
			}
			else {
				// Clean up any resources used by a multipart request.
				if (multipartRequestParsed) {
					cleanupMultipart(processedRequest);
				}
			}
		}
	}

• 这里是spring具体处理请求的过程，下面这个方法是处理请求结果的

	private void processDispatchResult(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response,
			HandlerExecutionChain mappedHandler, ModelAndView mv, Exception exception) throws Exception {

		boolean errorView = false;

		if (exception != null) {
			if (exception instanceof ModelAndViewDefiningException) {
				logger.debug("ModelAndViewDefiningException encountered", exception);
				mv = ((ModelAndViewDefiningException) exception).getModelAndView();
			}
			else {
				Object handler = (mappedHandler != null ? mappedHandler.getHandler() : null);
				mv = processHandlerException(request, response, handler, exception);
				errorView = (mv != null);
			}
		}

		// Did the handler return a view to render?
		if (mv != null && !mv.wasCleared()) {
			render(mv, request, response);
			if (errorView) {
				WebUtils.clearErrorRequestAttributes(request);
			}
		}
		else {
			if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
				logger.debug("Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name '" + getServletName() +
						"': assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling");
			}
		}

		if (WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request).isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
			// Concurrent handling started during a forward
			return;
		}

		if (mappedHandler != null) {
			mappedHandler.triggerAfterCompletion(request, response, null);
		}
	}

它会判断ModelAndView是否存在来确定是否返回视图，因此我们重点看一下ModelAndView的生成

mv = ha.handle(processedRequest, response, mappedHandler.getHandler());

	protected ModelAndView handleInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
			HttpServletResponse response, HandlerMethod handlerMethod) throws Exception {

		ModelAndView mav;
		checkRequest(request);

		// Execute invokeHandlerMethod in synchronized block if required.
		if (this.synchronizeOnSession) {
			HttpSession session = request.getSession(false);
			if (session != null) {
				Object mutex = WebUtils.getSessionMutex(session);
				synchronized (mutex) {
					mav = invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handlerMethod);
				}
			}
			else {
				// No HttpSession available -> no mutex necessary
				mav = invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handlerMethod);
			}
		}
		else {
			// No synchronization on session demanded at all...
			mav = invokeHandlerMethod(request, response, handlerMethod);
		}

		if (!response.containsHeader(HEADER_CACHE_CONTROL)) {
			if (getSessionAttributesHandler(handlerMethod).hasSessionAttributes()) {
				applyCacheSeconds(response, this.cacheSecondsForSessionAttributeHandlers);
			}
			else {
				prepareResponse(response);
			}
		}

		return mav;
	}

	protected ModelAndView invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request,
			HttpServletResponse response, HandlerMethod handlerMethod) throws Exception {

		ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(request, response);
		try {
			WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory = getDataBinderFactory(handlerMethod);
			ModelFactory modelFactory = getModelFactory(handlerMethod, binderFactory);

			ServletInvocableHandlerMethod invocableMethod = createInvocableHandlerMethod(handlerMethod);
			invocableMethod.setHandlerMethodArgumentResolvers(this.argumentResolvers);
			invocableMethod.setHandlerMethodReturnValueHandlers(this.returnValueHandlers);
			invocableMethod.setDataBinderFactory(binderFactory);
			invocableMethod.setParameterNameDiscoverer(this.parameterNameDiscoverer);

			ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer = new ModelAndViewContainer();
			mavContainer.addAllAttributes(RequestContextUtils.getInputFlashMap(request));
			modelFactory.initModel(webRequest, mavContainer, invocableMethod);
			mavContainer.setIgnoreDefaultModelOnRedirect(this.ignoreDefaultModelOnRedirect);

			AsyncWebRequest asyncWebRequest = WebAsyncUtils.createAsyncWebRequest(request, response);
			asyncWebRequest.setTimeout(this.asyncRequestTimeout);

			WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);
			asyncManager.setTaskExecutor(this.taskExecutor);
			asyncManager.setAsyncWebRequest(asyncWebRequest);
			asyncManager.registerCallableInterceptors(this.callableInterceptors);
			asyncManager.registerDeferredResultInterceptors(this.deferredResultInterceptors);

			if (asyncManager.hasConcurrentResult()) {
				Object result = asyncManager.getConcurrentResult();
				mavContainer = (ModelAndViewContainer) asyncManager.getConcurrentResultContext()[0];
				asyncManager.clearConcurrentResult();
				if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
					logger.debug("Found concurrent result value [" + result + "]");
				}
				invocableMethod = invocableMethod.wrapConcurrentResult(result);
			}

			invocableMethod.invokeAndHandle(webRequest, mavContainer);
			if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
				return null;
			}

			return getModelAndView(mavContainer, modelFactory, webRequest);
		}
		finally {
			webRequest.requestCompleted();
		}
	}

	protected ModelAndView invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request,
			HttpServletResponse response, HandlerMethod handlerMethod) throws Exception {

		ServletWebRequest webRequest = new ServletWebRequest(request, response);
		try {
			WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory = getDataBinderFactory(handlerMethod);
			ModelFactory modelFactory = getModelFactory(handlerMethod, binderFactory);

			ServletInvocableHandlerMethod invocableMethod = createInvocableHandlerMethod(handlerMethod);
			invocableMethod.setHandlerMethodArgumentResolvers(this.argumentResolvers);
			invocableMethod.setHandlerMethodReturnValueHandlers(this.returnValueHandlers);
			invocableMethod.setDataBinderFactory(binderFactory);
			invocableMethod.setParameterNameDiscoverer(this.parameterNameDiscoverer);

			ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer = new ModelAndViewContainer();
			mavContainer.addAllAttributes(RequestContextUtils.getInputFlashMap(request));
			modelFactory.initModel(webRequest, mavContainer, invocableMethod);
			mavContainer.setIgnoreDefaultModelOnRedirect(this.ignoreDefaultModelOnRedirect);

			AsyncWebRequest asyncWebRequest = WebAsyncUtils.createAsyncWebRequest(request, response);
			asyncWebRequest.setTimeout(this.asyncRequestTimeout);

			WebAsyncManager asyncManager = WebAsyncUtils.getAsyncManager(request);
			asyncManager.setTaskExecutor(this.taskExecutor);
			asyncManager.setAsyncWebRequest(asyncWebRequest);
			asyncManager.registerCallableInterceptors(this.callableInterceptors);
			asyncManager.registerDeferredResultInterceptors(this.deferredResultInterceptors);

			if (asyncManager.hasConcurrentResult()) {
				Object result = asyncManager.getConcurrentResult();
				mavContainer = (ModelAndViewContainer) asyncManager.getConcurrentResultContext()[0];
				asyncManager.clearConcurrentResult();
				if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
					logger.debug("Found concurrent result value [" + result + "]");
				}
				invocableMethod = invocableMethod.wrapConcurrentResult(result);
			}

			invocableMethod.invokeAndHandle(webRequest, mavContainer);
			if (asyncManager.isConcurrentHandlingStarted()) {
				return null;
			}

			return getModelAndView(mavContainer, modelFactory, webRequest);
		}
		finally {
			webRequest.requestCompleted();
		}
	}

• 获取ModelAndView实例：getModelAndView

	private ModelAndView getModelAndView(ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
			ModelFactory modelFactory, NativeWebRequest webRequest) throws Exception {

		modelFactory.updateModel(webRequest, mavContainer);
		if (mavContainer.isRequestHandled()) {
			return null;
		}
		ModelMap model = mavContainer.getModel();
		ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView(mavContainer.getViewName(), model, mavContainer.getStatus());
		if (!mavContainer.isViewReference()) {
			mav.setView((View) mavContainer.getView());
		}
		if (model instanceof RedirectAttributes) {
			Map<String, ?> flashAttributes = ((RedirectAttributes) model).getFlashAttributes();
			HttpServletRequest request = webRequest.getNativeRequest(HttpServletRequest.class);
			RequestContextUtils.getOutputFlashMap(request).putAll(flashAttributes);
		}
		return mav;
	}

getModelAndView()这个方法有个判断：mavContainer.isRequestHandled()这个判断决定了是否返回null还是ModelAndView实例.而加上了HttpServletResponse这个参数的test2接口会有一个处理器：ServletResponseMethodArgumentResolver，来看下它的resolveArgument方法：

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

		if (mavContainer != null) {
			mavContainer.setRequestHandled(true);
		}

		HttpServletResponse response = webRequest.getNativeResponse(HttpServletResponse.class);
		Class<?> paramType = parameter.getParameterType();

		if (ServletResponse.class.isAssignableFrom(paramType)) {
			Object nativeResponse = webRequest.getNativeResponse(paramType);
			if (nativeResponse == null) {
				throw new IllegalStateException(
						"Current response is not of type [" + paramType.getName() + "]: " + response);
			}
			return nativeResponse;
		}
		else if (OutputStream.class.isAssignableFrom(paramType)) {
			return response.getOutputStream();
		}
		else if (Writer.class.isAssignableFrom(paramType)) {
			return response.getWriter();
		}
		else {
			// should not happen
			Method method = parameter.getMethod();
			throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Unknown parameter type: " + paramType + " in method: " + method);
		}
	}

只要mavContainer 不为null，就会直接设置requesHandled为true，代表请求已经处理过了

• invokeAndHandle执行是在resolveArgument之后的，如果controller中方法执行完毕有返回值或者responseStatusReason非空之时也会返回视图（responseStatusReason可以通过注解@ResponseStatus的reason方法设置）

	public void invokeAndHandle(ServletWebRequest webRequest, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
			Object... providedArgs) throws Exception {

		Object returnValue = invokeForRequest(webRequest, mavContainer, providedArgs);
		setResponseStatus(webRequest);

		if (returnValue == null) {
			if (isRequestNotModified(webRequest) || getResponseStatus() != null || mavContainer.isRequestHandled()) {
				mavContainer.setRequestHandled(true);
				return;
			}
		}
		else if (StringUtils.hasText(getResponseStatusReason())) {
			mavContainer.setRequestHandled(true);
			return;
		}

		mavContainer.setRequestHandled(false);
		try {
			this.returnValueHandlers.handleReturnValue(
					returnValue, getReturnValueType(returnValue), mavContainer, webRequest);
		}
		catch (Exception ex) {
			if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
				logger.trace(getReturnValueHandlingErrorMessage("Error handling return value", returnValue), ex);
			}
			throw ex;
		}
	}
