Field Detail

DESTRUCTION_CALLBACK_NAME_PREFIX

public static final String DESTRUCTION_CALLBACK_NAME_PREFIX
Constant identifying the String prefixed to the name of a destruction callback when it is stored in a HttpSession.

Constructor Detail

ServletRequestAttributes

public ServletRequestAttributes(HttpServletRequest request)
Create a new ServletRequestAttributes instance for the given request.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
Method Detail

getRequest

protected final HttpServletRequest getRequest()
Exposes the HttpServletRequest that we're wrapping.


getSession

protected final HttpSession getSession(boolean allowCreate)
Exposes the HttpSession that we're wrapping.

Parameters:
allowCreate - whether to allow creation of a new session if none exists yet

getAttribute

public Object getAttribute(String name,
                           int scope)
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Return the value for the scoped attribute of the given name, if any.

Parameters:
name - the name of the attribute
scope - the scope identifier
Returns:
the current attribute value, or null if not found

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String name,
                         Object value,
                         int scope)
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Set the value for the scoped attribute of the given name, replacing an existing value (if any).

Parameters:
name - the name of the attribute
value - the value for the attribute
scope - the scope identifier

removeAttribute

public void removeAttribute(String name,
                            int scope)
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Remove the scoped attribute of the given name, if it exists.

Note that an implementation should also remove a registered destruction callback for the specified attribute, if any. It does, however, not need to execute a registered destruction callback in this case, since the object will be destroyed by the caller (if appropriate).

Parameters:
name - the name of the attribute
scope - the scope identifier

registerDestructionCallback

public void registerDestructionCallback(String name,
                                        Runnable callback,
                                        int scope)
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Register a callback to be executed on destruction of the specified attribute in the given scope.

Implementations should do their best to execute the callback at the appropriate time: that is, at request completion or session termination, respectively. If such a callback is not supported by the underlying runtime environment, the callback must be ignored and a corresponding warning should be logged.

Note that 'destruction' usually corresponds to destruction of the entire scope, not to the individual attribute having been explicitly removed by the application. If an attribute gets removed via this facade's RequestAttributes.removeAttribute(String, int) method, any registered destruction callback should be disabled as well, assuming that the removed object will be reused or manually destroyed.

Parameters:
name - the name of the attribute to register the callback for
callback - the destruction callback to be executed
scope - the scope identifier

getSessionId

public String getSessionId()
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Return an id for the current underlying session.

Returns:
the session id as String (never null

getSessionMutex

public Object getSessionMutex()
Description copied from interface: RequestAttributes
Expose the best available mutex for the underlying session: that is, an object to synchronize on for the underlying session.

Returns:
the session mutex to use (never null

updateAccessedSessionAttributes

protected void updateAccessedSessionAttributes()
Update all accessed session attributes through session.setAttribute calls, explicitly indicating to the container that they might have been modified.

Specified by:
updateAccessedSessionAttributes in class AbstractRequestAttributes
