Detailed Description

ServletRequest

Defines an object to provide client request information to a servlet. The servlet container creates a ServletRequest object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service method.

A ServletRequest object provides data including parameter name and values, attributes, and an input stream. Interfaces that extend ServletRequest can provide additional protocol-specific data (for example, HTTP data is provided by servlet::HttpServletRequest.

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >
T servlet::ServletRequest::getAttribute ( const std::string &  name  )  [inline]

T servlet::ServletRequest::getAttribute ( const std::string &  name  )  [inline, pure virtual]

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 servlet::ServletRequest#setAttribute. This allows information to be embedded into a request before a servlet::RequestDispatcher call.

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

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

Implemented in container::HttpServletRequestImpl, and servlet::ServletRequestWrapper.

virtual int servlet::ServletRequest::getContentLength (  )  const [pure virtual]

Returns the length, in bytes, of the request body and made available by the input stream, or -1 if the length is not known. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable CONTENT_LENGTH.

Returns:
an integer containing the length of the request body or -1 if the length is not known

Implemented in container::HttpServletRequestImpl, and servlet::ServletRequestWrapper.

Referenced by servlet::ServletRequestWrapper::getContentLength().

virtual std::string servlet::ServletRequest::getParameter ( const std::string &  name  )  const [pure virtual]

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 getParameterValues.

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 getInputStream or getReader can interfere with the execution of this method.

Parameters:
name a String specifying the name of the parameter
Returns:
a String representing the single value of the parameter

virtual RequestDispatcher* servlet::ServletRequest::getRequestDispatcher ( const std::string &  path  )  [pure virtual]

Returns a servlet::RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at the given path. A RequestDispatcher object can be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be dynamic or static.

The pathname specified may be relative, although it cannot extend outside the current servlet context. If the path begins with a "/" it is interpreted as relative to the current context root. This method returns null if the servlet container cannot return a RequestDispatcher.

The difference between this method and servlet::ServletContext#getRequestDispatcher is that this method can take a relative path.

Parameters:
path a String specifying the pathname to the resource. If it is relative, it must be relative against the current servlet.
Returns:
a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or null if the servlet container cannot return a RequestDispatcher

virtual void servlet::ServletRequest::removeAttribute ( const std::string &  name  )  [pure virtual]

Removes an attribute from this request. This method is not generally needed as attributes only persist as long as the request is being handled.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. Names beginning with java.*, javax.*, and com.sun.*, are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.

Parameters:
name a String specifying the name of the attribute to remove

virtual void servlet::ServletRequest::setAttribute ( const std::string &  name,
boost::shared_ptr< void >  o 
) [pure virtual]

Stores an attribute in this request. Attributes are reset between requests. This method is most often used in conjunction with servlet::RequestDispatcher.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. Names beginning with java.*, javax.*, and com.sun.*, are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.
If the object passed in is null, the effect is the same as calling removeAttribute.
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.

Parameters:
name a String specifying the name of the attribute
o the Object to be stored
