org.apache.struts2.interceptor.httpmethod

## Class HttpMethodInterceptor

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.struts2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor
  - - com.opensymphony.xwork2.interceptor.AbstractInterceptor
    - - org.apache.struts2.interceptor.httpmethod.HttpMethodInterceptor

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, ConditionalInterceptor, Interceptor

      public class HttpMethodInterceptor
      extends AbstractInterceptor

  Interceptor is used to control with what http methods action can be called, if request with not allowed method was performed, `badRequestResultName` will be returned or if action implements `HttpMethodAware` and `HttpMethodAware.getBadRequestResultName()` returns non-null result name, thus value will be used instead.

  To limit allowed http methods, annotate action class with `AllowedHttpMethod` and specify, which methods are allowed. You can also use shorter versions `HttpGet`, `HttpPost`, `HttpPut`, `HttpDelete` and `HttpGetOrPost`

  You can combine any of these annotations to achieve required allowed methods' filtering.

  Since:
    6.2.0
  See Also:
    `HttpMethodAware`, `HttpMethod`, `AllowedHttpMethod`, `HttpGet`, `HttpPost`, `HttpPut`, `HttpDelete`, `HttpGetOrPost`, Serialized Form
