public CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory(HttpClient httpClient)
Create a new instance of the CommonsHttpRequestFactory with the given HttpClient instance.

Parameters:
httpClient - the HttpClient instance to use for this factory
Method Detail

setHttpClient

public void setHttpClient(HttpClient httpClient)
Set the HttpClient used by this factory.


getHttpClient

public HttpClient getHttpClient()
Return the HttpClient used by this factory.


setReadTimeout

public void setReadTimeout(int timeout)

createRequest

public ClientHttpRequest createRequest(URI uri,
                                       HttpMethod httpMethod)
                                throws IOException
Description copied from interface: ClientHttpRequestFactory
Create a new ClientHttpRequest for the specified URI and HTTP method.

The returned request can be written to, and then executed by calling ClientHttpRequest.execute().

                                                 String uri)
Create a Commons HttpMethodBase object for the given HTTP method and URI specification.

Parameters:
httpMethod - the HTTP method
uri - the URI
Returns:
the Commons HttpMethodBase object

postProcessCommonsHttpMethod

protected void postProcessCommonsHttpMethod(HttpMethodBase httpMethod)
Template method that allows for manipulating the HttpMethodBase before it is returned as part of a CommonsClientHttpRequest.

The default implementation is empty.

Parameters:
httpMethod - the Commons HTTP method object to process

destroy

public void destroy()
Shutdown hook that closes the underlying HttpConnectionManager's connection pool, if any.
