## org.springframework.web.portlet
Class GenericPortletBean

    java.lang.Object
      javax.portlet.GenericPortlet
          org.springframework.web.portlet.GenericPortletBean

All Implemented Interfaces:
  javax.portlet.EventPortlet, javax.portlet.Portlet, javax.portlet.PortletConfig, javax.portlet.ResourceServingPortlet

Direct Known Subclasses:
  FrameworkPortlet

    public abstract class GenericPortletBean

extends javax.portlet.GenericPortlet

Simple extension of `javax.portlet.GenericPortlet` that treats its config parameters as bean properties.

A very handy superclass for any type of portlet. Type conversion is automatic. It is also possible for subclasses to specify required properties.

This portlet leaves request handling to subclasses, inheriting the default behaviour of GenericPortlet (`doDispatch`, `processAction`, etc).

This portlet superclass has no dependency on a Spring application context, in contrast to the FrameworkPortlet class which loads its own context.

Since:
  2.0

Field Summary
`protected Log` | `logger` Logger available to subclasses

Constructor Summary
`GenericPortletBean()`

Method Summary
`protected void` | `addRequiredProperty(String property)` Subclasses can invoke this method to specify that this property (which must match a JavaBean property they expose) is mandatory, and must be supplied as a config parameter.
`javax.portlet.PortletContext` | `getPortletContext()` Overridden method that simply returns `null` when no PortletConfig set yet.
`String` | `getPortletName()` Overridden method that simply returns `null` when no PortletConfig set yet.
`void` | `init()` Map config parameters onto bean properties of this portlet, and invoke subclass initialization.
`protected void` | `initBeanWrapper(BeanWrapper bw)` Initialize the BeanWrapper for this GenericPortletBean, possibly with custom editors.
`protected void` | `initPortletBean()` Subclasses may override this to perform custom initialization.

Field Detail

### logger

    protected final Log logger

  Logger available to subclasses

Constructor Detail

### GenericPortletBean

    public GenericPortletBean()

Method Detail

### addRequiredProperty

    protected final void addRequiredProperty(String property)

  Subclasses can invoke this method to specify that this property (which must match a JavaBean property they expose) is mandatory, and must be supplied as a config parameter. This method would normally be called from a subclass constructor.

  Parameters:
    `property` - name of the required property

### init

    public final void init()
                    throws javax.portlet.PortletException

  Map config parameters onto bean properties of this portlet, and invoke subclass initialization.

  Overrides:
    `init` in class `javax.portlet.GenericPortlet`
  Throws:
    `javax.portlet.PortletException` - if bean properties are invalid (or required properties are missing), or if subclass initialization fails.

### initBeanWrapper

    protected void initBeanWrapper(BeanWrapper bw)
                            throws BeansException

  Initialize the BeanWrapper for this GenericPortletBean, possibly with custom editors.

  Parameters:
    `bw` - the BeanWrapper to initialize
  Throws:
    `BeansException` - if thrown by BeanWrapper methods
  See Also:
    `PropertyEditorRegistry.registerCustomEditor(java.lang.Class, java.beans.PropertyEditor)`

### getPortletName

    public final String getPortletName()

  Overridden method that simply returns `null` when no PortletConfig set yet.

  Specified by:
    `getPortletName` in interface `javax.portlet.PortletConfig`
  Overrides:
    `getPortletName` in class `javax.portlet.GenericPortlet`
  See Also:
    `GenericPortlet.getPortletConfig()`

### getPortletContext

    public final javax.portlet.PortletContext getPortletContext()

  Overridden method that simply returns `null` when no PortletConfig set yet.

  Specified by:
    `getPortletContext` in interface `javax.portlet.PortletConfig`
  Overrides:
    `getPortletContext` in class `javax.portlet.GenericPortlet`
  See Also:
    `GenericPortlet.getPortletConfig()`

### initPortletBean

    protected void initPortletBean()
                            throws javax.portlet.PortletException

  Subclasses may override this to perform custom initialization. All bean properties of this portlet will have been set before this method is invoked. This default implementation does nothing.

  Throws:
    `javax.portlet.PortletException` - if subclass initialization fails
