[[webflux-ann-controller-advice]]
= Controller Advice
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-controller-advice, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
Typically, the `@ExceptionHandler`, `@InitBinder`, and `@ModelAttribute` methods apply
within the `@Controller` class (or class hierarchy) in which they are declared. If you
want such methods to apply more globally (across controllers), you can declare them in a
class annotated with `@ControllerAdvice` or `@RestControllerAdvice`.
`@ControllerAdvice` is annotated with `@Component`, which means that such classes can be
registered as Spring beans through <<core.adoc#beans-java-instantiating-container-scan,
component scanning>>. `@RestControllerAdvice` is a composed annotation that is annotated
with both `@ControllerAdvice` and `@ResponseBody`, which essentially means
`@ExceptionHandler` methods are rendered to the response body through message conversion
(versus view resolution or template rendering).
On startup, the infrastructure classes for `@RequestMapping` and `@ExceptionHandler`
methods detect Spring beans annotated with `@ControllerAdvice` and then apply their
methods at runtime. Global `@ExceptionHandler` methods (from a `@ControllerAdvice`) are
applied _after_ local ones (from the `@Controller`). By contrast, global `@ModelAttribute`
and `@InitBinder` methods are applied _before_ local ones.
By default, `@ControllerAdvice` methods apply to every request (that is, all controllers),
but you can narrow that down to a subset of controllers by using attributes on the
annotation, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
// Target all Controllers annotated with @RestController
@ControllerAdvice(annotations = RestController.class)
public class ExampleAdvice1 {}
// Target all Controllers within specific packages
@ControllerAdvice("org.example.controllers")
public class ExampleAdvice2 {}
// Target all Controllers assignable to specific classes
@ControllerAdvice(assignableTypes = {ControllerInterface.class, AbstractController.class})
public class ExampleAdvice3 {}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
// Target all Controllers annotated with @RestController
@ControllerAdvice(annotations = [RestController::class])
public class ExampleAdvice1 {}
// Target all Controllers within specific packages
@ControllerAdvice("org.example.controllers")
public class ExampleAdvice2 {}
// Target all Controllers assignable to specific classes
@ControllerAdvice(assignableTypes = [ControllerInterface::class, AbstractController::class])
public class ExampleAdvice3 {}
----
The selectors in the preceding example are evaluated at runtime and may negatively impact
performance if used extensively. See the
{api-spring-framework}/web/bind/annotation/ControllerAdvice.html[`@ControllerAdvice`]
javadoc for more details.

[[webflux-ann-controller-exceptions]]
= Exceptions
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-exceptionhandler, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
`@Controller` and <<webflux-ann-controller-advice, @ControllerAdvice>> classes can have
`@ExceptionHandler` methods to handle exceptions from controller methods. The following
example includes such a handler method:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Controller
public class SimpleController {
// ...
@ExceptionHandler // <1>
public ResponseEntity<String> handle(IOException ex) {
// ...
}
}
----
<1> Declaring an `@ExceptionHandler`.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]

----
@Controller
class SimpleController {
// ...
@ExceptionHandler // <1>
fun handle(ex: IOException): ResponseEntity<String> {
// ...
}
}
----
<1> Declaring an `@ExceptionHandler`.
The exception can match against a top-level exception being propagated (that is, a direct
`IOException` being thrown) or against the immediate cause within a top-level wrapper
exception (for example, an `IOException` wrapped inside an `IllegalStateException`).
For matching exception types, preferably declare the target exception as a method argument,
as shown in the preceding example. Alternatively, the annotation declaration can narrow the
exception types to match. We generally recommend being as specific as possible in the
argument signature and to declare your primary root exception mappings on a
`@ControllerAdvice` prioritized with a corresponding order.
See <<web.adoc#mvc-ann-exceptionhandler, the MVC section>> for details.
NOTE: An `@ExceptionHandler` method in WebFlux supports the same method arguments and
return values as a `@RequestMapping` method, with the exception of request body-
and `@ModelAttribute`-related method arguments.
Support for `@ExceptionHandler` methods in Spring WebFlux is provided by the
`HandlerAdapter` for `@RequestMapping` methods. See <<webflux-dispatcher-handler>>
for more detail.

[[webflux-ann-initbinder]]
= `DataBinder`
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-initbinder, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
`@Controller` or `@ControllerAdvice` classes can have `@InitBinder` methods, to
initialize instances of `WebDataBinder`. Those, in turn, are used to:
* Bind request parameters (that is, form data or query) to a model object.
* Convert `String`-based request values (such as request parameters, path variables,
headers, cookies, and others) to the target type of controller method arguments.
* Format model object values as `String` values when rendering HTML forms.
`@InitBinder` methods can register controller-specific `java.beans.PropertyEditor` or
Spring `Converter` and `Formatter` components. In addition, you can use the
<<webflux-config-conversion, WebFlux Java configuration>> to register `Converter` and
`Formatter` types in a globally shared `FormattingConversionService`.
`@InitBinder` methods support many of the same arguments that `@RequestMapping` methods
do, except for `@ModelAttribute` (command object) arguments. Typically, they are declared
with a `WebDataBinder` argument, for registrations, and a `void` return value.
The following example uses the `@InitBinder` annotation:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Controller
public class FormController {
@InitBinder // <1>
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
dateFormat.setLenient(false);
binder.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, false));
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Using the `@InitBinder` annotation.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@Controller
class FormController {
@InitBinder // <1>
fun initBinder(binder: WebDataBinder) {
val dateFormat = SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
dateFormat.isLenient = false
binder.registerCustomEditor(Date::class.java, CustomDateEditor(dateFormat, false))
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Using the `@InitBinder` annotation.
--
Alternatively, when using a `Formatter`-based setup through a shared
`FormattingConversionService`, you could re-use the same approach and register
controller-specific `Formatter` instances, as the following example shows:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Controller
public class FormController {
@InitBinder
protected void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder) {
binder.addCustomFormatter(new DateFormatter("yyyy-MM-dd")); <1>
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Adding a custom formatter (a `DateFormatter`, in this case).

[[webflux-ann-arguments]]
= Method Arguments
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-arguments, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
The following table shows the supported controller method arguments.
Reactive types (Reactor, RxJava, <<webflux-reactive-libraries, or other>>) are
supported on arguments that require blocking I/O (for example, reading the request body) to
be resolved. This is marked in the Description column. Reactive types are not expected
on arguments that do not require blocking.
JDK 1.8's `java.util.Optional` is supported as a method argument in combination with
annotations that have a `required` attribute (for example, `@RequestParam`, `@RequestHeader`,
and others) and is equivalent to `required=false`.
[cols="1,2", options="header"]
|===
| Controller method argument | Description
| `ServerWebExchange`
| Access to the full `ServerWebExchange` -- container for the HTTP request and response,
request and session attributes, `checkNotModified` methods, and others.
| `ServerHttpRequest`, `ServerHttpResponse`
| Access to the HTTP request or response.
| `WebSession`
| Access to the session. This does not force the start of a new session unless attributes
are added. Supports reactive types.
| `java.security.Principal`
| The currently authenticated user -- possibly a specific `Principal` implementation class if known.
Supports reactive types.
| `org.springframework.http.HttpMethod`
| The HTTP method of the request.
| `java.util.Locale`
| The current request locale, determined by the most specific `LocaleResolver` available -- in
effect, the configured `LocaleResolver`/`LocaleContextResolver`.
| `java.util.TimeZone` + `java.time.ZoneId`
| The time zone associated with the current request, as determined by a `LocaleContextResolver`.
| `@PathVariable`
| For access to URI template variables. See <<webflux-ann-requestmapping-uri-templates>>.
| `@MatrixVariable`
| For access to name-value pairs in URI path segments. See <<webflux-ann-matrix-variables>>.
| `@RequestParam`
| For access to query parameters. Parameter values are converted to the declared method argument
type. See <<webflux-ann-requestparam>>.
Note that use of `@RequestParam` is optional -- for example, to set its attributes.
See "`Any other argument`" later in this table.
| `@RequestHeader`
| For access to request headers. Header values are converted to the declared method argument
type. See <<webflux-ann-requestheader>>.
| `@CookieValue`
| For access to cookies. Cookie values are converted to the declared method argument type.
See <<webflux-ann-cookievalue>>.
| `@RequestBody`
| For access to the HTTP request body. Body content is converted to the declared method
argument type by using `HttpMessageReader` instances. Supports reactive types.
See <<webflux-ann-requestbody>>.
| `HttpEntity<B>`
| For access to request headers and body. The body is converted with `HttpMessageReader` instances.
Supports reactive types. See <<webflux-ann-httpentity>>.
| `@RequestPart`
| For access to a part in a `multipart/form-data` request. Supports reactive types.
See <<webflux-multipart-forms>> and <<webflux-multipart>>.
| `java.util.Map`, `org.springframework.ui.Model`, and `org.springframework.ui.ModelMap`.
| For access to the model that is used in HTML controllers and is exposed to templates as
part of view rendering.
| `@ModelAttribute`
| For access to an existing attribute in the model (instantiated if not present) with
data binding and validation applied. See <<webflux-ann-modelattrib-method-args>> as well
as <<webflux-ann-modelattrib-methods>> and <<webflux-ann-initbinder>>.
Note that use of `@ModelAttribute` is optional -- for example, to set its attributes.
See "`Any other argument`" later in this table.
| `Errors`, `BindingResult`
| For access to errors from validation and data binding for a command object, i.e. a
`@ModelAttribute` argument. An `Errors`, or `BindingResult` argument must be declared
immediately after the validated method argument.
| `SessionStatus` + class-level `@SessionAttributes`
| For marking form processing complete, which triggers cleanup of session attributes
declared through a class-level `@SessionAttributes` annotation.
See <<webflux-ann-sessionattributes>> for more details.
| `UriComponentsBuilder`
| For preparing a URL relative to the current request's host, port, scheme, and
context path. See <<webflux-uri-building>>.
| `@SessionAttribute`
| For access to any session attribute -- in contrast to model attributes stored in the session
as a result of a class-level `@SessionAttributes` declaration. See
<<webflux-ann-sessionattribute>> for more details.
| `@RequestAttribute`
| For access to request attributes. See <<webflux-ann-requestattrib>> for more details.
| Any other argument
| If a method argument is not matched to any of the above, it is, by default, resolved as
a `@RequestParam` if it is a simple type, as determined by
{api-spring-framework}/beans/BeanUtils.html#isSimpleProperty-java.lang.Class-[BeanUtils#isSimpleProperty],
or as a `@ModelAttribute`, otherwise.

[[webflux-ann-matrix-variables]]
= Matrix Variables
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-matrix-variables, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.3[RFC 3986] discusses name-value pairs in
path segments. In Spring WebFlux, we refer to those as "`matrix variables`" based on an
https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/MatrixURIs.html["`old post`"] by Tim Berners-Lee, but they
can be also be referred to as URI path parameters.
Matrix variables can appear in any path segment, with each variable separated by a semicolon and
multiple values separated by commas -- for example, `"/cars;color=red,green;year=2012"`. Multiple
values can also be specified through repeated variable names -- for example,
`"color=red;color=green;color=blue"`.
Unlike Spring MVC, in WebFlux, the presence or absence of matrix variables in a URL does
not affect request mappings. In other words, you are not required to use a URI variable
to mask variable content. That said, if you want to access matrix variables from a
controller method, you need to add a URI variable to the path segment where matrix
variables are expected. The following example shows how to do so:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
// GET /pets/42;q=11;r=22
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}")
public void findPet(@PathVariable String petId, @MatrixVariable int q) {
// petId == 42
// q == 11
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
// GET /pets/42;q=11;r=22
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}")
fun findPet(@PathVariable petId: String, @MatrixVariable q: Int) {
// petId == 42
// q == 11
}
----
Given that all path segments can contain matrix variables, you may sometimes need to
disambiguate which path variable the matrix variable is expected to be in,
as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
// GET /owners/42;q=11/pets/21;q=22
@GetMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
public void findPet(
@MatrixVariable(name="q", pathVar="ownerId") int q1,
@MatrixVariable(name="q", pathVar="petId") int q2) {
// q1 == 11
// q2 == 22
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
fun findPet(
@MatrixVariable(name = "q", pathVar = "ownerId") q1: Int,
@MatrixVariable(name = "q", pathVar = "petId") q2: Int) {
// q1 == 11
// q2 == 22
}
----
You can define a matrix variable may be defined as optional and specify a default value
as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
// GET /pets/42
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}")
public void findPet(@MatrixVariable(required=false, defaultValue="1") int q) {
// q == 1
}
----

----
// GET /pets/42

To get all matrix variables, use a `MultiValueMap`, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]

[[webflux-ann-modelattrib-method-args]]
= `@ModelAttribute`
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-modelattrib-method-args, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can use the `@ModelAttribute` annotation on a method argument to access an attribute from the
model or have it instantiated if not present. The model attribute is also overlaid with
the values of query parameters and form fields whose names match to field names. This is
referred to as data binding, and it saves you from having to deal with parsing and
converting individual query parameters and form fields. The following example binds an instance of `Pet`:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
public String processSubmit(@ModelAttribute Pet pet) { } // <1>
----
<1> Bind an instance of `Pet`.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
fun processSubmit(@ModelAttribute pet: Pet): String { } // <1>
----
<1> Bind an instance of `Pet`.
The `Pet` instance in the preceding example is resolved as follows:
* From the model if already added through <<webflux-ann-modelattrib-methods>>.
* From the HTTP session through <<webflux-ann-sessionattributes>>.
* From the invocation of a default constructor.
* From the invocation of a "`primary constructor`" with arguments that match query
parameters or form fields. Argument names are determined through JavaBeans
`@ConstructorProperties` or through runtime-retained parameter names in the bytecode.
After the model attribute instance is obtained, data binding is applied. The
`WebExchangeDataBinder` class matches names of query parameters and form fields to field
names on the target `Object`. Matching fields are populated after type conversion is applied
where necessary. For more on data binding (and validation), see
<<core.adoc#validation, Validation>>. For more on customizing data binding, see
<<webflux-ann-initbinder>>.
Data binding can result in errors. By default, a `WebExchangeBindException` is raised, but,
to check for such errors in the controller method, you can add a `BindingResult` argument
immediately next to the `@ModelAttribute`, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
public String processSubmit(@ModelAttribute("pet") Pet pet, BindingResult result) { <1>
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "petForm";
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Adding a `BindingResult`.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
fun processSubmit(@ModelAttribute("pet") pet: Pet, result: BindingResult): String { // <1>
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "petForm"
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Adding a `BindingResult`.
You can automatically apply validation after data binding by adding the
`jakarta.validation.Valid` annotation or Spring's `@Validated` annotation (see also
<<core.adoc#validation-beanvalidation, Bean Validation>> and
<<core.adoc#validation, Spring validation>>). The following example uses the `@Valid` annotation:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
public String processSubmit(@Valid @ModelAttribute("pet") Pet pet, BindingResult result) { // <1>
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "petForm";
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Using `@Valid` on a model attribute argument.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
fun processSubmit(@Valid @ModelAttribute("pet") pet: Pet, result: BindingResult): String { // <1>
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "petForm"
}
// ...
}
----
<1> Using `@Valid` on a model attribute argument.
Spring WebFlux, unlike Spring MVC, supports reactive types in the model -- for example,
`Mono<Account>` or `io.reactivex.Single<Account>`. You can declare a `@ModelAttribute` argument
with or without a reactive type wrapper, and it will be resolved accordingly,
to the actual value if necessary. However, note that, to use a `BindingResult`
argument, you must declare the `@ModelAttribute` argument before it without a reactive
type wrapper, as shown earlier. Alternatively, you can handle any errors through the
reactive type, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
public Mono<String> processSubmit(@Valid @ModelAttribute("pet") Mono<Pet> petMono) {
return petMono
.flatMap(pet -> {
// ...
})
.onErrorResume(ex -> {
// ...
});
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@PostMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}/edit")
fun processSubmit(@Valid @ModelAttribute("pet") petMono: Mono<Pet>): Mono<String> {
return petMono
.flatMap { pet ->
// ...
}
.onErrorResume{ ex ->
// ...
}
}
----
Note that use of `@ModelAttribute` is optional -- for example, to set its attributes.
By default, any argument that is not a simple value type (as determined by
{api-spring-framework}/beans/BeanUtils.html#isSimpleProperty-java.lang.Class-[BeanUtils#isSimpleProperty])
and is not resolved by any other argument resolver is treated as if it were annotated
with `@ModelAttribute`.

You can use `@RequestPart` in combination with `jakarta.validation.Valid` or Spring's
`@Validated` annotation, which causes Standard Bean Validation to be applied. Validation
errors lead to a `WebExchangeBindException` that results in a 400 (BAD_REQUEST) response.
The exception contains a `BindingResult` with the error details and can also be handled
in the controller method by declaring the argument with an async wrapper and then using
error related operators:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java

[[partevent]]
== `PartEvent`
To access multipart data sequentially, in a streaming fashion, you can use `@RequestBody` with
`Flux<PartEvent>` (or `Flow<PartEvent>` in Kotlin).
Each part in a multipart HTTP message will produce at
least one `PartEvent` containing both headers and a buffer with the contents of the part.
- Form fields will produce a *single* `FormPartEvent`, containing the value of the field.
- File uploads will produce *one or more* `FilePartEvent` objects, containing the filename used
when uploading. If the file is large enough to be split across multiple buffers, the first
`FilePartEvent` will be followed by subsequent events.
For example:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping("/")
public void handle(@RequestBody Flux<PartEvent> allPartsEvents) { <1>
allPartsEvents.windowUntil(PartEvent::isLast) <2>
.concatMap(p -> p.switchOnFirst((signal, partEvents) -> { <3>
if (signal.hasValue()) {
PartEvent event = signal.get();
if (event instanceof FormPartEvent formEvent) { <4>
String value = formEvent.value();
// handle form field
}
else if (event instanceof FilePartEvent fileEvent) { <5>
String filename = fileEvent.filename();
Flux<DataBuffer> contents = partEvents.map(PartEvent::content); <6>
// handle file upload
}
else {
return Mono.error(new RuntimeException("Unexpected event: " + event));
}
}
else {
return partEvents; // either complete or error signal
}
}));
}
----
<1> Using `@RequestBody`.
<2> The final `PartEvent` for a particular part will have `isLast()` set to `true`, and can be
followed by additional events belonging to subsequent parts.
This makes the `isLast` property suitable as a predicate for the `Flux::windowUntil` operator, to
split events from all parts into windows that each belong to a single part.
<3> The `Flux::switchOnFirst` operator allows you to see whether you are handling a form field or

----
<1> Using `@RequestParam`.
TIP: The Servlet API "`request parameter`" concept conflates query parameters, form
data, and multiparts into one. However, in WebFlux, each is accessed individually through
`ServerWebExchange`. While `@RequestParam` binds to query parameters only, you can use
data binding to apply query parameters, form data, and multiparts to a
<<webflux-ann-modelattrib-method-args, command object>>.
Method parameters that use the `@RequestParam` annotation are required by default, but
you can specify that a method parameter is optional by setting the required flag of a `@RequestParam`
to `false` or by declaring the argument with a `java.util.Optional`
wrapper.
Type conversion is applied automatically if the target method parameter type is not
`String`. See <<webflux-ann-typeconversion>>.
When a `@RequestParam` annotation is declared on a `Map<String, String>` or
`MultiValueMap<String, String>` argument, the map is populated with all query parameters.
Note that use of `@RequestParam` is optional -- for example, to set its attributes. By
default, any argument that is a simple value type (as determined by
{api-spring-framework}/beans/BeanUtils.html#isSimpleProperty-java.lang.Class-[BeanUtils#isSimpleProperty])
and is not resolved by any other argument resolver is treated as if it were annotated
with `@RequestParam`.

WebFlux supports using a single value <<webflux-reactive-libraries, reactive type>> to
produce the `ResponseEntity` asynchronously, and/or single and multi-value reactive types
for the body. This allows a variety of async responses with `ResponseEntity` as follows:
* `ResponseEntity<Mono<T>>` or `ResponseEntity<Flux<T>>` make the response status and
headers known immediately while the body is provided asynchronously at a later point.
Use `Mono` if the body consists of 0..1 values or `Flux` if it can produce multiple values.
* `Mono<ResponseEntity<T>>` provides all three -- response status, headers, and body,
asynchronously at a later point. This allows the response status and headers to vary
depending on the outcome of asynchronous request handling.
* `Mono<ResponseEntity<Mono<T>>>` or `Mono<ResponseEntity<Flux<T>>>` are yet another
possible, albeit less common alternative. They provide the response status and headers
asynchronously first and then the response body, also asynchronously, second.

`@SessionAttributes` is used to store model attributes in the `WebSession` between

specific controller. This typically lists the names of model attributes or types of
model attributes that should be transparently stored in the session for subsequent
requests to access.
Consider the following example:

= Type Conversion
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-typeconversion, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
Some annotated controller method arguments that represent String-based request input (for example,
`@RequestParam`, `@RequestHeader`, `@PathVariable`, `@MatrixVariable`, and `@CookieValue`)
can require type conversion if the argument is declared as something other than `String`.
For such cases, type conversion is automatically applied based on the configured converters.
By default, simple types (such as `int`, `long`, `Date`, and others) are supported. Type conversion
can be customized through a `WebDataBinder` (see <<webflux-ann-initbinder>>) or by registering
`Formatters` with the `FormattingConversionService` (see <<core.adoc#format, Spring Field Formatting>>).
A practical issue in type conversion is the treatment of an empty String source value.
Such a value is treated as missing if it becomes `null` as a result of type conversion.
This can be the case for `Long`, `UUID`, and other target types. If you want to allow `null`
to be injected, either use the `required` flag on the argument annotation, or declare the
argument as `@Nullable`.

* On a `@RequestMapping` method to mark its return value as a model attribute.
This section discusses `@ModelAttribute` methods, or the second item from the preceding list.
A controller can have any number of `@ModelAttribute` methods. All such methods are
invoked before `@RequestMapping` methods in the same controller. A `@ModelAttribute`
method can also be shared across controllers through `@ControllerAdvice`. See the section on

@ModelAttribute
fun addAccount(@RequestParam number: String): Account {

----
NOTE: When a name is not explicitly specified, a default name is chosen based on the type,
as explained in the javadoc for {api-spring-framework}/core/Conventions.html[`Conventions`].
You can always assign an explicit name by using the overloaded `addAttribute` method or
through the name attribute on `@ModelAttribute` (for a return value).
Spring WebFlux, unlike Spring MVC, explicitly supports reactive types in the model
(for example, `Mono<Account>` or `io.reactivex.Single<Account>`). Such asynchronous model
attributes can be transparently resolved (and the model updated) to their actual values
at the time of `@RequestMapping` invocation, provided a `@ModelAttribute` argument is
declared without a wrapper, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@ModelAttribute
public void addAccount(@RequestParam String number) {
Mono<Account> accountMono = accountRepository.findAccount(number);
model.addAttribute("account", accountMono);
}
@PostMapping("/accounts")
public String handle(@ModelAttribute Account account, BindingResult errors) {
// ...
}
----

val accountMono: Mono<Account> = accountRepository.findAccount(number)
model["account"] = accountMono
}
@PostMapping("/accounts")
fun handle(@ModelAttribute account: Account, errors: BindingResult): String {
// ...
}
----
In addition, any model attributes that have a reactive type wrapper are resolved to their
actual values (and the model updated) just prior to view rendering.
You can also use `@ModelAttribute` as a method-level annotation on `@RequestMapping`
methods, in which case the return value of the `@RequestMapping` method is interpreted as a
model attribute. This is typically not required, as it is the default behavior in HTML
controllers, unless the return value is a `String` that would otherwise be interpreted
as a view name. `@ModelAttribute` can also help to customize the model attribute name,
as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping("/accounts/{id}")
@ModelAttribute("myAccount")
public Account handle() {
// ...
return account;

[[webflux-ann-requestmapping]]
= Request Mapping
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
The `@RequestMapping` annotation is used to map requests to controllers methods. It has
various attributes to match by URL, HTTP method, request parameters, headers, and media
types. You can use it at the class level to express shared mappings or at the method level
to narrow down to a specific endpoint mapping.
There are also HTTP method specific shortcut variants of `@RequestMapping`:
* `@GetMapping`
* `@PostMapping`
* `@PutMapping`
* `@DeleteMapping`
* `@PatchMapping`
The preceding annotations are <<webflux-ann-requestmapping-composed>> that are provided
because, arguably, most controller methods should be mapped to a specific HTTP method versus
using `@RequestMapping`, which, by default, matches to all HTTP methods. At the same time, a
`@RequestMapping` is still needed at the class level to express shared mappings.
The following example uses type and method level mappings:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/persons")
class PersonController {
@GetMapping("/{id}")
public Person getPerson(@PathVariable Long id) {
// ...
}
@PostMapping
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED)
public void add(@RequestBody Person person) {
// ...
}
}

// ...
}
}

[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-uri-templates]]
== URI Patterns
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-uri-templates, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can map requests by using glob patterns and wildcards:
[cols="2,3,5"]
|===
|Pattern |Description |Example
| `+?+`
| Matches one character
| `+"/pages/t?st.html"+` matches `+"/pages/test.html"+` and `+"/pages/t3st.html"+`
| `+*+`
| Matches zero or more characters within a path segment
| `+"/resources/*.png"+` matches `+"/resources/file.png"+`
`+"/projects/*/versions"+` matches `+"/projects/spring/versions"+` but does not match `+"/projects/spring/boot/versions"+`
| `+**+`
| Matches zero or more path segments until the end of the path
| `+"/resources/**"+` matches `+"/resources/file.png"+` and `+"/resources/images/file.png"+`
`+"/resources/**/file.png"+` is invalid as `+**+` is only allowed at the end of the path.
| `+{name}+`
| Matches a path segment and captures it as a variable named "name"
| `+"/projects/{project}/versions"+` matches `+"/projects/spring/versions"+` and captures `+project=spring+`
| `+{name:[a-z]+}+`
| Matches the regexp `+"[a-z]+"+` as a path variable named "name"
| `+"/projects/{project:[a-z]+}/versions"+` matches `+"/projects/spring/versions"+` but not `+"/projects/spring1/versions"+`
| `+{*path}+`
| Matches zero or more path segments until the end of the path and captures it as a variable named "path"
| `+"/resources/{*file}"+` matches `+"/resources/images/file.png"+` and captures `+file=/images/file.png+`
|===
Captured URI variables can be accessed with `@PathVariable`, as the following example shows:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
public Pet findPet(@PathVariable Long ownerId, @PathVariable Long petId) {
// ...
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
fun findPet(@PathVariable ownerId: Long, @PathVariable petId: Long): Pet {
// ...
}
----
--
You can declare URI variables at the class and method levels, as the following example shows:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/owners/{ownerId}") // <1>
public class OwnerController {
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}") // <2>
public Pet findPet(@PathVariable Long ownerId, @PathVariable Long petId) {
// ...
}
}
----
<1> Class-level URI mapping.
<2> Method-level URI mapping.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/owners/{ownerId}") // <1>
class OwnerController {
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}") // <2>
fun findPet(@PathVariable ownerId: Long, @PathVariable petId: Long): Pet {
// ...
}
}
----
<1> Class-level URI mapping.
<2> Method-level URI mapping.
--
URI variables are automatically converted to the appropriate type or a `TypeMismatchException`
is raised. Simple types (`int`, `long`, `Date`, and so on) are supported by default and you can
register support for any other data type.
See <<webflux-ann-typeconversion>> and <<webflux-ann-initbinder>>.
URI variables can be named explicitly (for example, `@PathVariable("customId")`), but you can
leave that detail out if the names are the same and you compile your code with the `-parameters`
compiler flag.
The syntax `{*varName}` declares a URI variable that matches zero or more remaining path
segments. For example `/resources/{*path}` matches all files under `/resources/`, and the
`"path"` variable captures the complete path under `/resources`.
The syntax `{varName:regex}` declares a URI variable with a regular expression that has the
syntax: `{varName:regex}`. For example, given a URL of `/spring-web-3.0.5.jar`, the following method
extracts the name, version, and file extension:
--
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping("/{name:[a-z-]+}-{version:\\d\\.\\d\\.\\d}{ext:\\.[a-z]+}")
public void handle(@PathVariable String version, @PathVariable String ext) {
// ...
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/{name:[a-z-]+}-{version:\\d\\.\\d\\.\\d}{ext:\\.[a-z]+}")
fun handle(@PathVariable version: String, @PathVariable ext: String) {
// ...
}
----
--
URI path patterns can also have embedded `${...}` placeholders that are resolved on startup
through `PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer` against local, system, environment, and
other property sources. You can use this to, for example, parameterize a base URL based on
some external configuration.
NOTE: Spring WebFlux uses `PathPattern` and the `PathPatternParser` for URI path matching support.
Both classes are located in `spring-web` and are expressly designed for use with HTTP URL
paths in web applications where a large number of URI path patterns are matched at runtime.
Spring WebFlux does not support suffix pattern matching -- unlike Spring MVC, where a
mapping such as `/person` also matches to `/person.{asterisk}`. For URL-based content
negotiation, if needed, we recommend using a query parameter, which is simpler, more
explicit, and less vulnerable to URL path based exploits.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-pattern-comparison]]
== Pattern Comparison
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-pattern-comparison, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
When multiple patterns match a URL, they must be compared to find the best match. This is done
with `PathPattern.SPECIFICITY_COMPARATOR`, which looks for patterns that are more specific.
For every pattern, a score is computed, based on the number of URI variables and wildcards,
where a URI variable scores lower than a wildcard. A pattern with a lower total score
wins. If two patterns have the same score, the longer is chosen.
Catch-all patterns (for example, `**`, `{*varName}`) are excluded from the scoring and are always
sorted last instead. If two patterns are both catch-all, the longer is chosen.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-consumes]]
== Consumable Media Types
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-consumes, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can narrow the request mapping based on the `Content-Type` of the request,
as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@PostMapping(path = "/pets", consumes = "application/json")
public void addPet(@RequestBody Pet pet) {
// ...
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@PostMapping("/pets", consumes = ["application/json"])
fun addPet(@RequestBody pet: Pet) {
// ...
}
----
The consumes attribute also supports negation expressions -- for example, `!text/plain` means any
content type other than `text/plain`.
You can declare a shared `consumes` attribute at the class level. Unlike most other request
mapping attributes, however, when used at the class level, a method-level `consumes` attribute
overrides rather than extends the class-level declaration.
TIP: `MediaType` provides constants for commonly used media types -- for example,
`APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE` and `APPLICATION_XML_VALUE`.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-produces]]
== Producible Media Types
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-produces, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can narrow the request mapping based on the `Accept` request header and the list of
content types that a controller method produces, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping(path = "/pets/{petId}", produces = "application/json")
@ResponseBody
public Pet getPet(@PathVariable String petId) {
// ...
}
----
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}", produces = ["application/json"])
@ResponseBody
fun getPet(@PathVariable petId: String): Pet {
// ...
}
----
The media type can specify a character set. Negated expressions are supported -- for example,
`!text/plain` means any content type other than `text/plain`.
You can declare a shared `produces` attribute at the class level. Unlike most other request
mapping attributes, however, when used at the class level, a method-level `produces` attribute
overrides rather than extend the class level declaration.
TIP: `MediaType` provides constants for commonly used media types -- e.g.
`APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE`, `APPLICATION_XML_VALUE`.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-params-and-headers]]
== Parameters and Headers
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-params-and-headers, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can narrow request mappings based on query parameter conditions. You can test for the
presence of a query parameter (`myParam`), for its absence (`!myParam`), or for a
specific value (`myParam=myValue`). The following examples tests for a parameter with a value:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping(path = "/pets/{petId}", params = "myParam=myValue") // <1>
public void findPet(@PathVariable String petId) {
// ...
}
----
<1> Check that `myParam` equals `myValue`.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}", params = ["myParam=myValue"]) // <1>
fun findPet(@PathVariable petId: String) {
// ...
}
----
<1> Check that `myParam` equals `myValue`.
You can also use the same with request header conditions, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@GetMapping(path = "/pets/{petId}", headers = "myHeader=myValue") // <1>
public void findPet(@PathVariable String petId) {
// ...
}
----
<1> Check that `myHeader` equals `myValue`.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@GetMapping("/pets/{petId}", headers = ["myHeader=myValue"]) // <1>
fun findPet(@PathVariable petId: String) {
// ...
}
----
<1> Check that `myHeader` equals `myValue`.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-head-options]]
== HTTP HEAD, OPTIONS
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-head-options, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
`@GetMapping` and `@RequestMapping(method=HttpMethod.GET)` support HTTP HEAD
transparently for request mapping purposes. Controller methods need not change.
A response wrapper, applied in the `HttpHandler` server adapter, ensures a `Content-Length`
header is set to the number of bytes written without actually writing to the response.
By default, HTTP OPTIONS is handled by setting the `Allow` response header to the list of HTTP
methods listed in all `@RequestMapping` methods with matching URL patterns.
For a `@RequestMapping` without HTTP method declarations, the `Allow` header is set to
`GET,HEAD,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE,OPTIONS`. Controller methods should always declare the
supported HTTP methods (for example, by using the HTTP method specific variants --
`@GetMapping`, `@PostMapping`, and others).
You can explicitly map a `@RequestMapping` method to HTTP HEAD and HTTP OPTIONS, but that
is not necessary in the common case.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-composed]]
== Custom Annotations
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-composed, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
Spring WebFlux supports the use of <<core.adoc#beans-meta-annotations, composed annotations>>
for request mapping. Those are annotations that are themselves meta-annotated with
`@RequestMapping` and composed to redeclare a subset (or all) of the `@RequestMapping`
attributes with a narrower, more specific purpose.
`@GetMapping`, `@PostMapping`, `@PutMapping`, `@DeleteMapping`, and `@PatchMapping` are
examples of composed annotations. They are provided, because, arguably, most
controller methods should be mapped to a specific HTTP method versus using `@RequestMapping`,
which, by default, matches to all HTTP methods. If you need an example of composed
annotations, look at how those are declared.
Spring WebFlux also supports custom request mapping attributes with custom request matching
logic. This is a more advanced option that requires sub-classing
`RequestMappingHandlerMapping` and overriding the `getCustomMethodCondition` method, where
you can check the custom attribute and return your own `RequestCondition`.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-registration]]
== Explicit Registrations
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-registration, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can programmatically register Handler methods, which can be used for dynamic
registrations or for advanced cases, such as different instances of the same handler
under different URLs. The following example shows how to do so:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Configuration
public class MyConfig {
@Autowired
public void setHandlerMapping(RequestMappingHandlerMapping mapping, UserHandler handler) // <1>
throws NoSuchMethodException {
RequestMappingInfo info = RequestMappingInfo
.paths("/user/{id}").methods(RequestMethod.GET).build(); // <2>
Method method = UserHandler.class.getMethod("getUser", Long.class); // <3>
mapping.registerMapping(info, handler, method); // <4>
}
}
----
<1> Inject target handlers and the handler mapping for controllers.
<2> Prepare the request mapping metadata.
<3> Get the handler method.
<4> Add the registration.
[source,kotlin,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="secondary"]
.Kotlin
----
@Configuration
class MyConfig {
@Autowired
fun setHandlerMapping(mapping: RequestMappingHandlerMapping, handler: UserHandler) { // <1>
val info = RequestMappingInfo.paths("/user/{id}").methods(RequestMethod.GET).build() // <2>
val method = UserHandler::class.java.getMethod("getUser", Long::class.java) // <3>
mapping.registerMapping(info, handler, method) // <4>
}
}
----
<1> Inject target handlers and the handler mapping for controllers.
<2> Prepare the request mapping metadata.
<3> Get the handler method.
<4> Add the registration.

[[webflux-ann-controller]]
= `@Controller`
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-controller, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
You can define controller beans by using a standard Spring bean definition.
The `@Controller` stereotype allows for auto-detection and is aligned with Spring general support
for detecting `@Component` classes in the classpath and auto-registering bean definitions
for them. It also acts as a stereotype for the annotated class, indicating its role as
a web component.
To enable auto-detection of such `@Controller` beans, you can add component scanning to
your Java configuration, as the following example shows:
[source,java,indent=0,subs="verbatim,quotes",role="primary"]
.Java
----
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("org.example.web") // <1>
public class WebConfig {

----
<1> Scan the `org.example.web` package.
`@RestController` is a <<core.adoc#beans-meta-annotations, composed annotation>> that is
itself meta-annotated with `@Controller` and `@ResponseBody`, indicating a controller whose
every method inherits the type-level `@ResponseBody` annotation and, therefore, writes
directly to the response body versus view resolution and rendering with an HTML template.
[[webflux-ann-requestmapping-proxying]]
== AOP Proxies
[.small]#<<web.adoc#mvc-ann-requestmapping-proxying, See equivalent in the Servlet stack>>#
In some cases, you may need to decorate a controller with an AOP proxy at runtime.
One example is if you choose to have `@Transactional` annotations directly on the
controller. When this is the case, for controllers specifically, we recommend
using class-based proxying. This is automatically the case with such annotations
directly on the controller.
If the controller implements an interface, and needs AOP proxying, you may need to
explicitly configure class-based proxying. For example, with `@EnableTransactionManagement`
you can change to `@EnableTransactionManagement(proxyTargetClass = true)`, and with
`<tx:annotation-driven/>` you can change to `<tx:annotation-driven proxy-target-class="true"/>`.
NOTE: Keep in mind that as of 6.0, with interface proxying, Spring WebFlux no longer detects
controllers based solely on a type-level `@RequestMapping` annotation on the interface.
Please, enable class based proxying, or otherwise the interface must also have an
`@Controller` annotation.
