ILinkBuilder (thymeleaf 3.0.12.RELEASE API)乐学网一站式学习平台

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLinkBuilder, StandardLinkBuilder
```
public interface ILinkBuilder
```
Common interface for all objects used for the building of links (URLs). This extension point provides a way to integrate Thymeleaf with different web execution environments, be these based on the Servlet API or not.

A Template Engine can be set several link builders, which will be asked for link building in the order established by the getOrder() method.

Note that a link builder will return null if a link cannot be built (because of it not falling under its responsibilities for whatever reason). In such case, the next builder will be asked. If the entire chain of link builders fail, an exception will be raised.

Implementations of this interface should be thread-safe.

Since:

3.0.0
