Method Detail

setAlternateImpl

public static void setAlternateImpl(ServletUtil.ServletUtilAlternate alternate)

Define the ServletUtil.ServletUtilAlternate class to use to provide custom behavior for ServletUtil methods. Warning: calling this override any previous alternate class as only one alternate class can be use at the same time.

Parameters:: alternate - the class to use

getAlternateImpl

public static ServletUtil.ServletUtilAlternate getAlternateImpl()

Returns:: the current alternate class being registered in ServletUtil to provide a custom behavior.

backupAttribute

public static void backupAttribute(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext pageContext,
                                   String attribute)

Backup request attribute to page scope

restoreAttribute

public static void restoreAttribute(javax.servlet.jsp.PageContext pageContext,
                                    String attribute)

Restore request attribute from page scope

Parameters:: pageContext -; attribute -
Since:: jcms-4.0

getBaseUrl

public static String getBaseUrl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the base URL of the given request. Rebuild this URL from the request attributes (serverName, serverPort and contextPath). The base URL contains a trailing '/'. The return value may be forced by request's attribute "baseUrl". For example, if the requested url is http://mysite.com:8080/dir/webapp/subdir/my.jsp?param=value returns http://mysite.com:8080/dir/webapp/

Parameters:: request - the request
Returns:: the base URL of the request

getContextPath

public static String getContextPath(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character. For servlets in the default (root) context, this method returns "". May be forced by request's attribute "contextPath" (usefull when using reverseProxy).

Parameters:: request - the request
Returns:: the contextPath of the request

getJsp

public static String getJsp(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the requested JSP.
e.g: For the URL http://host/webapp/subdir/my.jsp?x=y, it returns my.jsp.
Computed from the value returned by getServletPath(HttpServletRequest), thus if the jsp is accessed through a RequestDispatcher forward, this method will returned the first servlet accessed.

Parameters:: request - the request
Returns:: the requested JSP
Since:: jcms-4.0

getResourcePath

public static String getResourcePath(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the path of the requested resource, without leading '/'.
Examples:
"http://host/mywebapp/subdir/my.jsp?x=y" ==> "subdir/my.jsp"
"http://host/mywebapp/subdir/images/test.gif" ==> "subdir/images/test.gif"
"http://host/mywebapp/MyServlet/action?x=y" ==> "MyServlet/action"

Equivalent to the requestURI minus the contextPath. From section 4.4 of the Java Servlet Specification 2.3: The following equation is always true: requestURI = contextPath + servletPath + pathInfo
The returned value is computed from the value returned by getServletPath(HttpServletRequest) and getPathInfo(HttpServletRequest), thus if the method is called from a servlet accessed through a RequestDispatcher forward, this method will returned the value for the first servlet accessed.

Parameters:: request - the request
Returns:: a String with the requested resource (jsp, static file, servlet)
Since:: jcms-4.0

getServletPath

public static String getServletPath(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the part of the given request's URL that calls the servlet. This path starts with a "/" character and includes either the servlet name or a path to the servlet, but does not include any extra path.

This method will check for attribute "javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path" that may have been added when calling a servlet using the forward method of a RequestDispatcher.

Parameters:: request - the request of which to retrieve the servlet path
Returns:: a String containing the name or path of the servlet being called, as specified in the request URL, decoded, or an empty string if the servlet used to process the request is matched using the "/*" pattern.

getPathInfo

public static String getPathInfo(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns any extra path information associated with the URL the client sent when it made this request. The extra path information follows the servlet path but precedes the query string and will start with a "/" character.

This method returns null if there was no extra path information.
Same as the value of the CGI variable PATH_INFO.

This method will check for attribute "javax.servlet.forward.path_info" that may have been added when calling a servlet using the forward method of a RequestDispatcher.

Parameters:: request - the request of which to retrieve the servlet path
Returns:: a String, decoded by the web container, specifying extra path information that comes after the servlet path but before the query string in the request URL; or null if the URL does not have any extra path information

getUrl

public static String getUrl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns the absolute URL of the given request. Rebuild this URL from the request attributes (baseUrl + servletPath + queryString).

Parameters:: request - the request
Returns:: the URL of the request

getUrl

public static String getUrl(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                            boolean escapeAmpersand)

Returns the absolute URL of the given request. Rebuild this URL from the request attributes (baseUrl + servletPath + queryString).

Parameters:: request - the request; escapeAmpersand - will use "&" if true, "&" if false
Returns:: the URL of the request

getQueryString

public static String getQueryString(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                    boolean escapeAmpersand)

Return the queryString of the given request.

The query String does not contain the "?". As stated in the rfc 1738, section 3.3. : In an URL with the form: http://{host}:{port}/{path}?{searchpart} {searchpart} is a query string.

This methods differs from the method HttpServletRequest.getQueryString() because it rebuilds the querystring using all parameters of the given request.
Thus, calling this method in a servlet called through RequestDispatcher.forward will gives you all the parameters (from the "original" servlet request and from the forwarded servlet).
For example, if a servlet 1 accessed using "/servlet1/view/id?a=b&c=d" forward to a servlet 2 "/servlet2?view=id". The computed querystring will be "view=id&a=b&c=d".

Parameters:: request - the HttpRequest; escapeAmpersand - will use "&" if true, "&" if false
Returns:: the queryString of the given request.

public static String getUrlWithAddedParam(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                          String name,
                                          String value)

Returns a relative URL with the given parameter added even if already present (in case of an array of parameters having the same name).

Parameters:: request -; name -; value -
Returns:: the new URL

getOrderedParameterNames

public static Enumeration<String> getOrderedParameterNames(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Returns:: a non null identifier

generateUniqueDOMId

public static String generateUniqueDOMId(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                         String prefix)

Parameters:: request - the current HttpServletRequest. Required, must be not null.; prefix - a custom prefix, if null the default prefix "generateddomid" will be used. Use only alphanumeric characters.
Returns:: a unique identifier (or null if request is null).

generateUniqueDOMIdCollection

public static SortedSet<String> generateUniqueDOMIdCollection(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                                              String prefix,

Generates and returns a collection of unique id.

Parameters:: request - the current HttpServletRequest. Required, must be not null.; prefix - a custom prefix, if null the default prefix "generateddomid" will be used. Use only alphanumeric characters.; size - Size of the Set to return.
Returns:: a SortedSet of unique identifiers (or null if request is null).
