getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns the value of the named attribute as an Object, or null if no attribute of the given name exists.

Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programatically using ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). This allows information to be embedded into a request before a RequestDispatcher call.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

Specified by:
getAttribute in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute
Returns:
an Object containing the value of the attribute, or null if the attribute does not exist

getParameter

public java.lang.String getParameter(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns the value of a request parameter as a String, or null if the parameter does not exist. Request parameters are extra information sent with the request. For HTTP servlets, parameters are contained in the query string or posted form data.

You should only use this method when you are sure the parameter has only one value. If the parameter might have more than one value, use ServletRequest.getParameterValues(java.lang.String).

If you use this method with a multivalued parameter, the value returned is equal to the first value in the array returned by getParameterValues.

If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via ServletRequest.getInputStream() or ServletRequest.getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method.

Specified by:

If the object passed in is null, the effect is the same as calling ServletRequest.removeAttribute(java.lang.String).
It is warned that when the request is dispatched from the servlet resides in a different web application by RequestDispatcher, the object set by this method may not be correctly retrieved in the caller servlet.

Specified by:
setAttribute in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute
o - the Object to be stored

getContextPath

public java.lang.String getContextPath()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
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 "". The container does not decode this string.

It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases this method will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by the ServletContext.getContextPath() method. The context path returned by ServletContext.getContextPath() should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.

Specified by:
getContextPath in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a String specifying the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request
See Also:
ServletContext.getContextPath()

getQueryString

public java.lang.String getQueryString()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

Specified by:
getQueryString in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a String containing the query string or null if the URL contains no query string. The value is not decoded by the container.

getRemoteUser

public java.lang.String getRemoteUser()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the login of the user making this request, if the user has been authenticated, or null if the user has not been authenticated. Whether the user name is sent with each subsequent request depends on the browser and type of authentication. Same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_USER.

Specified by:
getRemoteUser in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a String specifying the login of the user making this request, or null if the user login is not known

isUserInRole

public boolean isUserInRole(java.lang.String role)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns a boolean indicating whether the authenticated user is included in the specified logical "role". Roles and role membership can be defined using deployment descriptors. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns false.

Specified by:
isUserInRole in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Parameters:
role - a String specifying the name of the role
Returns:
a boolean indicating whether the user making this request belongs to a given role; false if the user has not been authenticated

getUserPrincipal

public java.security.Principal getUserPrincipal()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns a java.security.Principal object containing the name of the current authenticated user. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns null.

Specified by:
getUserPrincipal in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a java.security.Principal containing the name of the user making this request; null if the user has not been authenticated

getRequestedSessionId

public java.lang.String getRequestedSessionId()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the session ID specified by the client. This may not be the same as the ID of the current valid session for this request. If the client did not specify a session ID, this method returns null.

Specified by:
getRequestedSessionId in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a String specifying the session ID, or null if the request did not specify a session ID
See Also:
HttpServletRequest.isRequestedSessionIdValid()

getRequestURI

public java.lang.String getRequestURI()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request. The web container does not decode this String. For example:
First line of HTTP request Returned Value
POST /some/path.html HTTP/1.1/some/path.html
GET http://foo.bar/a.html HTTP/1.0 /a.html
HEAD /xyz?a=b HTTP/1.1/xyz

To reconstruct an URL with a scheme and host, use HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest).

Specified by:
getRequestURI in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a String containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string
See Also:
HttpUtils.getRequestURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)

getRequestURL

public java.lang.StringBuffer getRequestURL()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.

If this request has been forwarded using RequestDispatcher.forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse), the server path in the reconstructed URL must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher, and not the server path specified by the client.

Because this method returns a StringBuffer, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.

This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.

Specified by:
getRequestURL in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
a StringBuffer object containing the reconstructed URL

getServletPath

public java.lang.String getServletPath()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the part of this 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 information or a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable SCRIPT_NAME.

This method will return an empty string ("") if the servlet used to process this request was matched using the "/*" pattern.

Specified by:
getServletPath in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
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.

getSession

public javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getSession(boolean create)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the current HttpSession associated with this request or, if there is no current session and create is true, returns a new session.

If create is false and the request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null.

To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Specified by:
getSession in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Parameters:
create - true to create a new session for this request if necessary; false to return null if there's no current session
Returns:
the HttpSession associated with this request or null if create is false and the request has no valid session
See Also:
HttpServletRequest.getSession()

getSession

public javax.servlet.http.HttpSession getSession()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns the current session associated with this request, or if the request does not have a session, creates one.

Specified by:
getSession in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
the HttpSession associated with this request
See Also:
HttpServletRequest.getSession(boolean)

isRequestedSessionIdValid

public boolean isRequestedSessionIdValid()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest

Returns:
the servlet context to which this ServletRequest was last dispatched

isAsyncStarted

public boolean isAsyncStarted()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Checks if this request has been put into asynchronous mode.

A ServletRequest is put into asynchronous mode by calling ServletRequest.startAsync() or ServletRequest.startAsync(ServletRequest,ServletResponse) on it.

This method returns false if this request was put into asynchronous mode, but has since been dispatched using one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods or released from asynchronous mode via a call to AsyncContext.complete().

Specified by:
isAsyncStarted in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
true if this request has been put into asynchronous mode, false otherwise

isAsyncSupported

public boolean isAsyncSupported()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Checks if this request supports asynchronous operation.

Asynchronous operation is disabled for this request if this request is within the scope of a filter or servlet that has not been annotated or flagged in the deployment descriptor as being able to support asynchronous handling.

Specified by:
isAsyncSupported in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
true if this request supports asynchronous operation, false otherwise

startAsync

public javax.servlet.AsyncContext startAsync()
                                      throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Puts this request into asynchronous mode, and initializes its AsyncContext with the original (unwrapped) ServletRequest and ServletResponse objects.

Calling this method will cause committal of the associated response to be delayed until AsyncContext.complete() is called on the returned AsyncContext, or the asynchronous operation has timed out.

Calling AsyncContext.hasOriginalRequestAndResponse() on the returned AsyncContext will return true. Any filters invoked in the outbound direction after this request was put into asynchronous mode may use this as an indication that any request and/or response wrappers that they added during their inbound invocation need not stay around for the duration of the asynchronous operation, and therefore any of their associated resources may be released.

This method clears the list of AsyncListener instances (if any) that were registered with the AsyncContext returned by the previous call to one of the startAsync methods, after calling each AsyncListener at its onStartAsync method.

Subsequent invocations of this method, or its overloaded variant, will return the same AsyncContext instance, reinitialized as appropriate.

Specified by:
startAsync in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
the (re)initialized AsyncContext
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this request is within the scope of a filter or servlet that does not support asynchronous operations (that is, ServletRequest.isAsyncSupported() returns false), or if this method is called again without any asynchronous dispatch (resulting from one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods), is called outside the scope of any such dispatch, or is called again within the scope of the same dispatch, or if the response has already been closed

startAsync

public javax.servlet.AsyncContext startAsync(javax.servlet.ServletRequest servletRequest,
                                             javax.servlet.ServletResponse servletResponse)
                                      throws java.lang.IllegalStateException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Puts this request into asynchronous mode, and initializes its AsyncContext with the given request and response objects.

The ServletRequest and ServletResponse arguments must be the same instances, or instances of ServletRequestWrapper and ServletResponseWrapper that wrap them, that were passed to the service method of the Servlet or the doFilter method of the Filter, respectively, in whose scope this method is being called.

Calling this method will cause committal of the associated response to be delayed until AsyncContext.complete() is called on the returned AsyncContext, or the asynchronous operation has timed out.

Calling AsyncContext.hasOriginalRequestAndResponse() on the returned AsyncContext will return false, unless the passed in ServletRequest and ServletResponse arguments are the original ones or do not carry any application-provided wrappers. Any filters invoked in the outbound direction after this request was put into asynchronous mode may use this as an indication that some of the request and/or response wrappers that they added during their inbound invocation may need to stay in place for the duration of the asynchronous operation, and their associated resources may not be released. A ServletRequestWrapper applied during the inbound invocation of a filter may be released by the outbound invocation of the filter only if the given servletRequest, which is used to initialize the AsyncContext and will be returned by a call to AsyncContext.getRequest(), does not contain said ServletRequestWrapper. The same holds true for ServletResponseWrapper instances.

This method clears the list of AsyncListener instances (if any) that were registered with the AsyncContext returned by the previous call to one of the startAsync methods, after calling each AsyncListener at its onStartAsync method.

Subsequent invocations of this method, or its zero-argument variant, will return the same AsyncContext instance, reinitialized as appropriate. If a call to this method is followed by a call to its zero-argument variant, the specified (and possibly wrapped) request and response objects will remain locked in on the returned AsyncContext.

Specified by:
startAsync in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
servletRequest - the ServletRequest used to initialize the AsyncContext
servletResponse - the ServletResponse used to initialize the AsyncContext
Returns:
the (re)initialized AsyncContext
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalStateException - if this request is within the scope of a filter or servlet that does not support asynchronous operations (that is, ServletRequest.isAsyncSupported() returns false), or if this method is called again without any asynchronous dispatch (resulting from one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods), is called outside the scope of any such dispatch, or is called again within the scope of the same dispatch, or if the response has already been closed

getDispatcherType

public javax.servlet.DispatcherType getDispatcherType()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Gets the dispatcher type of this request.

The dispatcher type of a request is used by the container to select the filters that need to be applied to the request: Only filters with matching dispatcher type and url patterns will be applied.

Allowing a filter that has been configured for multiple dispatcher types to query a request for its dispatcher type allows the filter to process the request differently depending on its dispatcher type.

The initial dispatcher type of a request is defined as DispatcherType.REQUEST. The dispatcher type of a request dispatched via RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) or RequestDispatcher.include(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) is given as DispatcherType.FORWARD or DispatcherType.INCLUDE, respectively, while the dispatcher type of an asynchronous request dispatched via one of the AsyncContext.dispatch() methods is given as DispatcherType.ASYNC. Finally, the dispatcher type of a request dispatched to an error page by the container's error handling mechanism is given as DispatcherType.ERROR.

Specified by:
getDispatcherType in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
the dispatcher type of this request
See Also:
DispatcherType

getFilterChain

authenticate

public boolean authenticate(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            javax.servlet.ServletException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Use the container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext to authenticate the user making this request.

This method may modify and commit the argument HttpServletResponse.

Specified by:
authenticate in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Parameters:
response - The HttpServletResponse associated with this HttpServletRequest
Returns:
true when non-null values were or have been established as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType. Return false if authentication is incomplete and the underlying login mechanism has committed, in the response, the message (e.g., challenge) and HTTP status code to be returned to the user.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an input or output error occurred while reading from this request or writing to the given response
javax.servlet.ServletException - if the authentication failed and the caller is responsible for handling the error (i.e., the underlying login mechanism did NOT establish the message and HTTP status code to be returned to the user)

login

public void login(java.lang.String username,
                  java.lang.String password)
           throws javax.servlet.ServletException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Validate the provided username and password in the password validation realm used by the web container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext.

This method returns without throwing a ServletException when the login mechanism configured for the ServletContext supports username password validation, and when, at the time of the call to login, the identity of the caller of the request had not been established (i.e, all of getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType return null), and when validation of the provided credentials is successful. Otherwise, this method throws a ServletException as described below.

When this method returns without throwing an exception, it must have established non-null values as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType.

Specified by:
login in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Parameters:
username - The String value corresponding to the login identifier of the user.
password - The password String corresponding to the identified user.
Throws:
javax.servlet.ServletException - if the configured login mechanism does not support username password authentication, or if a non-null caller identity had already been established (prior to the call to login), or if validation of the provided username and password fails.

logout

public void logout()
            throws javax.servlet.ServletException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Establish null as the value returned when getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType is called on the request.

Specified by:
logout in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Throws:
javax.servlet.ServletException - if logout fails

public java.util.Collection<javax.servlet.http.Part> getParts()
                                                       throws java.io.IOException,
                                                              javax.servlet.ServletException
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Gets all the Part components of this request, provided that it is of type multipart/form-data.

If this request is of type multipart/form-data, but does not contain any Part components, the returned Collection will be empty.

Any changes to the returned Collection must not affect this HttpServletRequest.

Specified by:
