RequestProcessor contains the processing logic that the ActionServlet performs as it receives each servlet request from the container. You can customize the request processing behavior by subclassing this class and overriding the method(s) whose behavior you are interested in changing.

Do a forward to specified URI using a RequestDispatcher.

Do an include of specified URI using a RequestDispatcher.

Do a module relative forward to specified URI using request dispatcher.

Do a module relative include to specified URI using request dispatcher.

Retrieve and return the ActionForm associated with this mapping, creating and retaining one if necessary.

Ask the specified Action instance to handle this request.

Removes any ActionMessages object stored in the session under Globals.MESSAGE_KEY and Globals.ERROR_KEY if the messages' isAccessed method returns true.

Set the default content type (with optional character encoding) for all responses if requested.

Ask our exception handler to handle the exception.

Process a forward requested by this mapping (if any).

Forward or redirect to the specified destination, by the specified mechanism.

Process an include requested by this mapping (if any).

Automatically select a Locale for the current user, if requested.

Select the mapping used to process the selection path for this request.

If this is a multipart request, wrap it with a special wrapper.

Set the no-cache headers for all responses, if requested.

Identify and return the path component (from the request URI) that we will use to select an ActionMapping with which to dispatch.

Populate the properties of the specified ActionForm instance from the request parameters included with this request.

General-purpose preprocessing hook that can be overridden as required by subclasses.

If this action is protected by security roles, make sure that the current user possesses at least one of them.

If this request was not cancelled, and the request's ActionMapping has not disabled validation, call the validate method of the specified ActionForm , and forward to the input path if there were any errors.

The request attribute under which the path information is stored for processing during a RequestDispatcher.include call.

The request attribute under which the servlet path information is stored for processing during a RequestDispatcher.include call.

The set of Action instances that have been created and initialized, keyed by the fully qualified Java class name of the Action class.

Commons Logging instance.

The ModuleConfiguration with which we are associated.

The servlet with which we are associated.

Clean up in preparation for a shutdown of this application.

Do a forward to specified URI using a RequestDispatcher. This method is used by all internal method needing to do a forward.

Do an include of specified URI using a RequestDispatcher. This method is used by all internal method needing to do an include.

Return the MessageResources instance containing our internal message strings.

Return the ServletContext for the web application in which we are running.

Initialize this request processor instance.

Do a module relative forward to specified URI using request dispatcher. URI is relative to the current module. The real URI is compute by prefixing the module name.

This method is used internally and is not part of the public API. It is advised to not use it in subclasses.

Do a module relative include to specified URI using request dispatcher. URI is relative to the current module. The real URI is compute by prefixing the module name.

This method is used internally and is not part of the public API. It is advised to not use it in subclasses.

Process an HttpServletRequest and create the corresponding HttpServletResponse or dispatch to another resource.

Return an Action instance that will be used to process the current request, creating a new one if necessary.

Retrieve and return the ActionForm associated with this mapping, creating and retaining one if necessary. If there is no ActionForm associated with this mapping, return null.

Ask the specified Action instance to handle this request. Return the ActionForward instance (if any) returned by the called Action for further processing.

Removes any ActionMessages object stored in the session under Globals.MESSAGE_KEY and Globals.ERROR_KEY if the messages' isAccessed method returns true. This allows messages to be stored in the session, display one time, and be released here.

Set the default content type (with optional character encoding) for all responses if requested. NOTE - This header will be overridden automatically if a RequestDispatcher.forward call is ultimately invoked.

Ask our exception handler to handle the exception. Return the ActionForward instance (if any) returned by the called ExceptionHandler.

Process a forward requested by this mapping (if any). Return true if standard processing should continue, or false if we have already handled this request.

Forward or redirect to the specified destination, by the specified mechanism. This method uses a ForwardConfig object instead an ActionForward.

Process an include requested by this mapping (if any). Return true if standard processing should continue, or false if we have already handled this request.

Automatically select a Locale for the current user, if requested. NOTE - configuring Locale selection will trigger the creation of a new HttpSession if necessary.

Select the mapping used to process the selection path for this request. If no mapping can be identified, create an error response and return null.

If this is a multipart request, wrap it with a special wrapper. Otherwise, return the request unchanged.

Set the no-cache headers for all responses, if requested. NOTE - This header will be overridden automatically if a RequestDispatcher.forward call is ultimately invoked.

Identify and return the path component (from the request URI) that we will use to select an ActionMapping with which to dispatch. If no such path can be identified, create an error response and return null.

Populate the properties of the specified ActionForm instance from the request parameters included with this request. In addition, request attribute Globals.CANCEL_KEY will be set if the request was submitted with a button created by CancelTag.

General-purpose preprocessing hook that can be overridden as required by subclasses. Return true if you want standard processing to continue, or false if the response has already been completed. The default implementation does nothing.

If this action is protected by security roles, make sure that the current user possesses at least one of them. Return true to continue normal processing, or false if an appropriate response has been created and processing should terminate.

If this request was not cancelled, and the request's ActionMapping has not disabled validation, call the validate method of the specified ActionForm , and forward to the input path if there were any errors. Return true if we should continue processing, or false if we have already forwarded control back to the input form.
