Interface PageRenderLinkTransformer

All Known Subinterfaces:

LinkTransformer

All Known Implementing Classes:

LinkTransformerImpl

@UsesOrderedConfiguration(value=PageRenderLinkTransformer.class)
public interface PageRenderLinkTransformer

Allows the default Link for a page render request to be replaced. This is a service, but also the contribution to the service, as a chain of command. A contributed implementation of this interface is expected to identify which requests it wants to transform. The transformPageRenderLink(Link, PageRenderRequestParameters) method can return a Link that is allowed to differ from Tapestry normal default. Later, when that request is triggered, decodePageRenderRequest(Request) is required to reverse the operation, identifying the original parameters so that request handling can continue.

Since:

5.2.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
PageRenderRequestParameters	decodePageRenderRequest(Request request) Attempts to decode the page render request, to perform the opposite action for transformPageRenderLink(Link, PageRenderRequestParameters).
Link	transformPageRenderLink(Link defaultLink, PageRenderRequestParameters parameters) Transforms a page render link.

Method Detail

transformPageRenderLink

Link transformPageRenderLink(Link defaultLink,
                             PageRenderRequestParameters parameters)

Transforms a page render link.

Parameters:

defaultLink - default Link for this request

parameters - that define the request

Returns:

replacement Link, or null

decodePageRenderRequest

PageRenderRequestParameters decodePageRenderRequest(Request request)

Attempts to decode the page render request, to perform the opposite action for transformPageRenderLink(Link, PageRenderRequestParameters). The transformer is also responsible for identifying the locale in the request (as part of the path, or as a query parameter or cookie) and setting the locale for the request. This method will be invoked from the PageRenderDispatcher and a non-null value returned from this method will prevent the default ComponentEventLinkEncoder.decodePageRenderRequest(Request) method from being invoked.

Returns:

decoded parameters, or null to proceed normally
