checkNotModified

public boolean checkNotModified(long lastModifiedTimestamp)

Description copied from interface: WebRequest

Check whether the request qualifies as not modified given the supplied last-modified timestamp (as determined by the application).

This will also transparently set the appropriate response headers, for both the modified case and the not-modified case.

Typical usage:

 public String myHandleMethod(WebRequest webRequest, Model model) {
   long lastModified = // application-specific calculation
   if (request.checkNotModified(lastModified)) {
     // shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
     return null;
   }
   // further request processing, actually building content
   model.addAttribute(...);
   return "myViewName";
 }

Note: you can use either this #checkNotModified(long) method; or WebRequest.checkNotModified(String). If you want enforce both a strong entity tag and a Last-Modified value, as recommended by the HTTP specification, then you should use WebRequest.checkNotModified(String, long).

If the "If-Modified-Since" header is set but cannot be parsed to a date value, this method will ignore the header and proceed with setting the last-modified timestamp on the response.

Specified by:

checkNotModified in interface WebRequest

Parameters:

lastModifiedTimestamp - the last-modified timestamp that the application determined for the underlying resource

Returns:

whether the request qualifies as not modified, allowing to abort request processing and relying on the response telling the client that the content has not been modified

checkNotModified

public boolean checkNotModified(java.lang.String eTag)

Description copied from interface: WebRequest

Check whether the request qualifies as not modified given the supplied ETag (entity tag), as determined by the application.

This will also transparently set the appropriate response headers, for both the modified case and the not-modified case.

Typical usage:

 public String myHandleMethod(WebRequest webRequest, Model model) {
   String eTag = // application-specific calculation
   if (request.checkNotModified(eTag)) {
     // shortcut exit - no further processing necessary
     return null;
   }
   // further request processing, actually building content
   model.addAttribute(...);
   return "myViewName";
 }

Note: you can use either this #checkNotModified(String) method; or WebRequest.checkNotModified(long). If you want enforce both a strong entity tag and a Last-Modified value, as recommended by the HTTP specification, then you should use WebRequest.checkNotModified(String, long).

Specified by:

checkNotModified in interface WebRequest

Parameters:

eTag - the entity tag that the application determined for the underlying resource. This parameter will be padded with quotes (") if necessary.

Returns:

whether the request qualifies as not modified, allowing to abort request processing and relying on the response telling the client that the content has not been modified

checkNotModified

public boolean checkNotModified(java.lang.String etag,
                                long lastModifiedTimestamp)

Last-modified handling not supported for portlet requests: As a consequence, this method always returns false.

Specified by:

checkNotModified in interface WebRequest

Parameters:

etag - the entity tag that the application determined for the underlying resource. This parameter will be padded with quotes (") if necessary.

lastModifiedTimestamp - the last-modified timestamp that the application determined for the underlying resource

Returns:

whether the request qualifies as not modified, allowing to abort request processing and relying on the response telling the client that the content has not been modified
