Issue
Is it possible for a Spring controller to handle both kind of requests?
1) http://localhost:8080/submit/id/ID123432?logout=true
2) http://localhost:8080/submit/id/ID123432?name=sam&password=543432
If I define a single controller of the kind:
@RequestMapping (value = "/submit/id/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET,
produces="text/xml")
public String showLoginWindow(@PathVariable("id") String id,
@RequestParam(value = "logout", required = false) String logout,
@RequestParam("name") String username,
@RequestParam("password") String password,
@ModelAttribute("submitModel") SubmitModel model,
BindingResult errors) throws LoginException {...}
the HTTP request with "logout" is not accepted.
If I define two controllers to handle each request separately, Spring complains with the exception "There is already 'Controller' bean method ... mapped".
Solution
You need to give required = false
for name
and password
request parameters as well. That's because, when you provide just the logout
parameter, it actually expects for name
and password
as well as they are still mandatory.
It worked when you just gave name
and password
because logout
wasn't a mandatory parameter thanks to required = false
already given for logout
.
