Class ScopedHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
Handler, HandlerContainer, Container, Destroyable, Dumpable, Dumpable.DumpableContainer, LifeCycle
Direct Known Subclasses:
ContextHandler, ServletHandler, SessionHandler

public abstract class ScopedHandler extends HandlerWrapper
ScopedHandler. A ScopedHandler is a HandlerWrapper where the wrapped handlers each define a scope.

When handle(String, Request, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) is called on the first ScopedHandler in a chain of HandlerWrappers, the doScope(String, Request, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method is called on all contained ScopedHandlers, before the doHandle(String, Request, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method is called on all contained handlers.

For example if Scoped handlers A, B & C were chained together, then the calling order would be:

 A.handle(...)
   A.doScope(...)
     B.doScope(...)
       C.doScope(...)
         A.doHandle(...)
           B.doHandle(...)
              C.doHandle(...)
 

If non scoped handler X was in the chained A, B, X & C, then the calling order would be:

 A.handle(...)
   A.doScope(...)
     B.doScope(...)
       C.doScope(...)
         A.doHandle(...)
           B.doHandle(...)
             X.handle(...)
               C.handle(...)
                 C.doHandle(...)
 

A typical usage pattern is:

     private static class MyHandler extends ScopedHandler
     {
         public void doScope(String target, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
         {
             try
             {
                 setUpMyScope();
                 super.doScope(target,request,response);
             }
             finally
             {
                 tearDownMyScope();
             }
         }

         public void doHandle(String target, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, ServletException
         {
             try
             {
                 doMyHandling();
                 super.doHandle(target,request,response);
             }
             finally
             {
                 cleanupMyHandling();
             }
         }
     }

    • doStart

      protected void doStart() throws Exception
      Description copied from class: ContainerLifeCycle
      Starts the managed lifecycle beans in the order they were added.
      Overrides:
      doStart in class AbstractHandler
      Throws:
      Exception - If there was a problem starting. Will cause a transition to FAILED state
    • handle

      public final void handle(String target, Request baseRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException
      Description copied from interface: Handler
      Handle a request.
      Specified by:
      handle in interface Handler
      Overrides:
      handle in class HandlerWrapper
      Parameters:
      target - The target of the request - either a URI or a name.
      baseRequest - The original unwrapped request object.

      response - The response as the Response object or a wrapper of that request.
      Throws:
      IOException - if unable to handle the request or response processing
      javax.servlet.ServletException - if unable to handle the request or response due to underlying servlet issue
    • doScope

      public void doScope(String target, Request baseRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException
      Scope the handler

      Derived implementations should call nextScope(String, Request, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse)

      Parameters:
      target - The target of the request - either a URI or a name.
      baseRequest - The original unwrapped request object.
      request - The request either as the Request object or a wrapper of that request.

      Throws:
      IOException - if unable to handle the request or response processing
      javax.servlet.ServletException - if unable to handle the request or response due to underlying servlet issue
    • nextScope

      Parameters:
      target - The target of the request - either a URI or a name.
      baseRequest - The original unwrapped request object.
      request - The request either as the Request object or a wrapper of that request.
      response - The response as the Response object or a wrapper of that request.
      Throws:
      IOException - if unable to handle the request or response processing

      Do the handler work within the scope.

      baseRequest - The original unwrapped request object.
      request - The request either as the Request object or a wrapper of that request.
