expose ServletHandlerMethodResolver AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter.getMethodResolver(Object handler) to application code [SPR-9412]

Hi,

As I described in my super-task comment, I just need to know the method that will handle the request to get from it some custom annotations I did. My suggestion is to make ServletHandlerMethodResolver AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter.getMethodResolver(Object handler) protected, so we can extend the class and get the method.

Turning invokeHandlerMethod(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler) to protected didn't solve the issue for me. Or, if have another way to get the handler method, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Alceu, in Spring 3.1 we provided replacements for the @MVC support classes. With the new classes the handler selected by the RequestMappingHandlerMapping is of type HandlerMethod and provides access to the method name, parameters, and annotations. For example a HandlerInterceptor can cast the handler Object to a HandlerMethod.

Going forward the old @MVC classes will not be modified for anything other than bug fixes so consider upgrading to Spring 3.1 or you'll need to find some other intermediate solution until then.
