Description copied from interface: HandlerInterceptor

Interception point before the execution of a handler. Called after HandlerMapping determined an appropriate handler object, but before HandlerAdapter invokes the handler.

DispatcherServlet processes a handler in an execution chain, consisting of any number of interceptors, with the handler itself at the end. With this method, each interceptor can decide to abort the execution chain, typically sending an HTTP error or writing a custom response.

Note: special considerations apply for asynchronous request processing. For more details see AsyncHandlerInterceptor.

The default implementation returns true.

Specified by:

preHandle in interface HandlerInterceptor

Parameters:

request - current HTTP request

response - current HTTP response

handler - chosen handler to execute, for type and/or instance evaluation

Returns:

true if the execution chain should proceed with the next interceptor or the handler itself. Else, DispatcherServlet assumes that this interceptor has already dealt with the response itself.

Throws:

ServletException

parseLocaleValue

@Nullable
protected Locale parseLocaleValue(String localeValue)

Parse the given locale value as coming from a request parameter.

The default implementation calls StringUtils.parseLocale(String), accepting the Locale.toString() format as well as BCP 47 language tags.

Parameters:

localeValue - the locale value to parse

Returns:

the corresponding Locale instance
