      Content type will be computed this way:

      Specified by:
      getContentType in interface org.springframework.web.servlet.View

    • isContentTypeSet

      protected boolean isContentTypeSet()

    • getForceContentType

      public boolean getForceContentType()

      Returns whether the configured content type should be forced instead of attempting a smart content type application based on template name.

      When forced, the configured content type (setForceContentType(boolean)) will be applied even if the template name ends in a known suffix: .html, .htm, .xhtml, .xml, .js, .json, .css, .rss, .atom, .txt.

      .
      Returns:

      Sets whether the configured content type should be forced instead of attempting a smart content type application based on template name.

      When forced, the configured content type (setForceContentType(boolean)) will be applied even if the template name ends in a known suffix: .html, .htm, .xhtml, .xml, .js, .json, .css, .rss, .atom, .txt.

      Default value is false

      .
      Parameters:
      forceContentType - whether the configured template mode should be forced or not.
      Since:
      3.0.6

    • isForceContentTypeSet

      protected boolean isForceContentTypeSet()

    • getCharacterEncoding

      public String getCharacterEncoding()

      Returns the character encoding set to be used for rendering this view.

      Many times, character encoding is specified as a part of the content type using the setContentType(String) method, but this is not mandatory, and it could be that only the MIME type is specified that way, thus allowing to set the character encoding using the setCharacterEncoding(String) counterpart of this getter method.

      Returns:
      the character encoding.

    • setCharacterEncoding

      public void setCharacterEncoding(String characterEncoding)

      Specifies the character encoding to be set into the response when the view is rendered.

      Many times, character encoding is specified as a part of the content type using the setContentType(String) method, but this is not mandatory, and it could be that only the MIME type is specified that way, thus allowing to set the character encoding using this method.

      Parameters:
      characterEncoding - the character encoding to be used (e.g. UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, etc.)

    • getProducePartialOutputWhileProcessing

      public boolean getProducePartialOutputWhileProcessing()

      Returns whether Thymeleaf should start producing output –and sending it to the web server's output buffers– as soon as possible, outputting partial results while processing as they become available so that they can potentially be sent to the client (browser) before processing of the whole template has completely finished.

      If set to false, no fragments of template result will be sent to the web server's output buffers until Thymeleaf completely finishes processing the template and generating the corresponding output. Only once finished will output start to be written to the web server's output buffers, and therefore sent to the clients.

      Note that setting this to false is not recommended for most scenarios, as it can (very) significantly increase the amount of memory used per template execution. Only modify this setting if you know what you are doing. A typical scenario in which setting this to false could be of use is when an application is suffering from UI rendering issues (flickering) at the browser due to incremental rendering of very large templates.

      Default value is true.

      Returns:
      whether to start producing output as soon as possible while processing or not (default: true).
      Since:
      3.0.10

      the map of static variables to be set into view's execution.

    • addStaticVariable

      public void addStaticVariable(String name, Object value)
