## org.springframework.web.method.annotation
Class MapMethodProcessor

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.web.method.annotation.MapMethodProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:
  HandlerMethodArgumentResolver, HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

    public class MapMethodProcessor

extends Object
implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver, HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler

Resolves `Map` method arguments and handles `Map` return values.

A Map return value can be interpreted in more than one ways depending on the presence of annotations like `@ModelAttribute` or `@ResponseBody`. Therefore this handler should be configured after the handlers that support these annotations.

  3.1

Constructor Summary
`MapMethodProcessor()`

Method Summary
`void` `handleReturnValue(Object returnValue, MethodParameter returnType, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer, NativeWebRequest webRequest)` Handle the given return value by adding attributes to the model and setting a view or setting the `ModelAndViewContainer.setRequestHandled(boolean)` flag to `true` to indicate the response has been handled directly.
`Object` `resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer, NativeWebRequest webRequest, WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory)` Resolves a method parameter into an argument value from a given request.
`boolean` `supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)` Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.
`boolean` `supportsReturnType(MethodParameter returnType)` Whether the given method return type is supported by this handler.

Method Detail

### supportsParameter

    public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter)

  Description copied from interface: `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver`
  Whether the given method parameter is supported by this resolver.

  Specified by:
    `supportsParameter` in interface `HandlerMethodArgumentResolver`
  Parameters:
    `parameter` - the method parameter to check
  Returns:
    `true` if this resolver supports the supplied parameter; `false` otherwise

### resolveArgument

    public 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

### supportsReturnType

    public boolean supportsReturnType(MethodParameter returnType)

  Description copied from interface: `HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler`
  Whether the given method return type is supported by this handler.

  Specified by:
    `supportsReturnType` in interface `HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler`
  Parameters:
    `returnType` - the method return type to check
  Returns:
    `true` if this handler supports the supplied return type; `false` otherwise

### handleReturnValue

    public void handleReturnValue(Object returnValue,
                                  MethodParameter returnType,
                                  ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
                                  NativeWebRequest webRequest)
                           throws Exception

  Description copied from interface: `HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler`
  Handle the given return value by adding attributes to the model and setting a view or setting the `ModelAndViewContainer.setRequestHandled(boolean)` flag to `true` to indicate the response has been handled directly.

  Specified by:
    `handleReturnValue` in interface `HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler`
  Parameters:
    `returnValue` - the value returned from the handler method
    `returnType` - the type of the return value. This type must have previously been passed to `HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler.supportsReturnType(org.springframework.core.MethodParameter)` and it must have returned `true`
    `mavContainer` - the ModelAndViewContainer for the current request
    `webRequest` - the current request
  Throws:
    `Exception` - if the return value handling results in an error
