How to handle multiple POST-methods in one Controller?

[dit]

Hi

My Controller : "AccountController" have to handle multiple POST-requests for Example SendPrivateMessage, SaveProfileSettings etc.

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value = "/profile")
public class AccountController{
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String doPost(Object obj, HttpServletRequest request, Model model) {
        
        _logger.info("doPost:" + obj);
        
        if(obj instanceof MessageReply){
            MessageReply message = (MessageReply) obj;
            return doSendMessage(message, request);
        } else if (obj instanceof ProfileSettings){
            _logger.info("ProfileSettings: " + obj);
        } else {
            _logger.info(obj.getClass().toString()); // <- allways 'java.lang.Object'
        }
        return Page.USER_HOME.file;
    }

//....
}

the method doPost getting allways as parameter 'obj' simple Object. no way to cast...

How can i handle multiple POSTs in the same Controller?

Important: I dont want to use other Controllers and i have to stay in "/profile"-Path

Thx!

Hi,

let's approach the "multiple POSTs" issue first. Just use the "value" attribute in @RequestMapping:

@RequestMapping(value = "/someUrl")

So, you'll end up with something like /profile/someUrl

If you're expecting to handle multiple POSTs (or GETs, PUTs, etc.) with a single URI, then the answer is "no you can't".

I kindly suggest you visit the Spring MVC showcase repository, and review the documentation (it's really good).

Best,
Carlos
