Class TapestryFilter

java.lang.Object

org.apache.tapestry5.http.TapestryFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

Direct Known Subclasses:

TapestryFilter, TapestrySpringFilter

public class TapestryFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

The TapestryFilter is responsible for intercepting all requests into the web application. It identifies the requests that are relevant to Tapestry, and lets the servlet container handle the rest. It is also responsible for initializing Tapestry. The application is primarily configured via context-level init parameters.

tapestry.app-package

The application package (used to search for pages, components, etc.)

In addition, a JVM system property affects configuration: tapestry.execution-mode (with default value "production"). This property is a comma-separated list of execution modes. For each mode, an additional init parameter is checked for: tapestry.mode-modules; this is a comma-separated list of module class names to load. In this way, more precise control over the available modules can be obtained which is often needed during testing.

Field Detail

REGISTRY_CONTEXT_NAME

public static final String REGISTRY_CONTEXT_NAME

Key under which the Tapestry IoC Registry is stored in the ServletContext. This allows other code, beyond Tapestry, to obtain the Registry and, from it, any Tapestry services. Such code should be careful about invoking Registry.cleanupThread() appropriately.

Method Detail

init

public final void init(FilterConfig filterConfig)
                throws ServletException

Initializes the filter using the TapestryAppInitializer. The application name is the capitalization of the filter name (as specified in web.xml).

Specified by:

init in interface Filter

Throws:

ServletException

getFilterConfig

protected final FilterConfig getFilterConfig()

init

protected void init(Registry registry)
             throws ServletException

Invoked from init(FilterConfig) after the Registry has been created, to allow any additional initialization to occur. This implementation does nothing, and my be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

registry - from which services may be extracted

Throws:

ServletException

provideExtraModuleDefs

protected ModuleDef[] provideExtraModuleDefs(ServletContext context)

Overridden in subclasses to provide additional module definitions beyond those normally located. This implementation returns an empty array.

provideExtraModuleClasses

protected Class[] provideExtraModuleClasses(ServletContext context)

Overridden in subclasses to provide additional module classes beyond those normally located. This implementation returns an empty array.

5.3

doFilter

public final void doFilter(ServletRequest request,
                           ServletResponse response,
                           FilterChain chain)
                    throws IOException,
                           ServletException

Specified by:

doFilter in interface Filter

Throws:

IOException

ServletException

destroy

public final void destroy()

Shuts down and discards the registry. Invokes destroy(org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.Registry) to allow subclasses to perform any shutdown logic, then shuts down the registry, and removes it from the ServletContext.

Specified by:

destroy in interface Filter

destroy

protected void destroy(Registry registry)

Invoked from destroy() to allow subclasses to add additional shutdown logic to the filter. The Registry will be shutdown after this call. This implementation does nothing, and may be overridden in subclasses.

Parameters:

registry -
