Pipeline | public interface Pipeline (Code) | | Interface describing a collection of Valves that should be executed
in sequence when the invoke() method is invoked. It is
required that a Valve somewhere in the pipeline (usually the last one)
must process the request and create the corresponding response, rather
than trying to pass the request on.
There is generally a single Pipeline instance associated with each
Container. The container's normal request processing functionality is
generally encapsulated in a container-specific Valve, which should always
be executed at the end of a pipeline. To facilitate this, the
setBasic() method is provided to set the Valve instance that
will always be executed last. Other Valves will be executed in the order
that they were added, before the basic Valve is executed.

Method Summary | |
public void | addValve(Valve valve) Add a new Valve to the end of the pipeline associated with this
Container. | public Valve | getBasic() Return the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic
Valve for this Pipeline (if any). | public Valve[] | getValves() Return the set of Valves in the pipeline associated with this
Container, including the basic Valve (if any). | public void | invoke(Request request, Response response) Cause the specified request and response to be processed by the Valves
associated with this pipeline, until one of these valves causes the
response to be created and returned. | public void | removeValve(Valve valve) Remove the specified Valve from the pipeline associated with this
Container, if it is found; otherwise, do nothing. | public void | setBasic(Valve valve) Set the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic
Valve for this Pipeline (if any). |
addValve | public void addValve(Valve valve)(Code) | | Add a new Valve to the end of the pipeline associated with this
Container. Prior to adding the Valve, the Valve's
setContainer() method will be called, if it implements
Contained , with the owning Container as an argument.
The method may throw an
IllegalArgumentException if this Valve chooses not to
be associated with this Container, or IllegalStateException
if it is already associated with a different Container.
Parameters: valve - Valve to be added exception: IllegalArgumentException - if this Container refused toaccept the specified Valve exception: IllegalArgumentException - if the specifie Valve refuses to beassociated with this Container exception: IllegalStateException - if the specified Valve is alreadyassociated with a different Container |
getBasic | public Valve getBasic()(Code) | | Return the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic
Valve for this Pipeline (if any).
|
getValves | public Valve[] getValves()(Code) | | Return the set of Valves in the pipeline associated with this
Container, including the basic Valve (if any). If there are no
such Valves, a zero-length array is returned.
|
invoke | public void invoke(Request request, Response response) throws IOException, ServletException(Code) | | Cause the specified request and response to be processed by the Valves
associated with this pipeline, until one of these valves causes the
response to be created and returned. The implementation must ensure
that multiple simultaneous requests (on different threads) can be
processed through the same Pipeline without interfering with each
other's control flow.
Parameters: request - The servlet request we are processing Parameters: response - The servlet response we are creating exception: IOException - if an input/output error occurs exception: ServletException - if a servlet exception is thrown |
removeValve | public void removeValve(Valve valve)(Code) | | Remove the specified Valve from the pipeline associated with this
Container, if it is found; otherwise, do nothing. If the Valve is
found and removed, the Valve's setContainer(null) method
will be called if it implements Contained .
Parameters: valve - Valve to be removed |
setBasic | public void setBasic(Valve valve)(Code) | | Set the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic
Valve for this Pipeline (if any). Prioer to setting the basic Valve,
the Valve's setContainer() will be called, if it
implements Contained , with the owning Container as an
argument. The method may throw an IllegalArgumentException
if this Valve chooses not to be associated with this Container, or
IllegalStateException if it is already associated with
a different Container.
Parameters: valve - Valve to be distinguished as the basic Valve |
