Package com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.mapper

Class LanguageDecoratorMapper

java.lang.Object

com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.mapper.AbstractDecoratorMapper

com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.mapper.LanguageDecoratorMapper

All Implemented Interfaces:

DecoratorMapper

public class LanguageDecoratorMapper
extends AbstractDecoratorMapper

The LanguageDecoratorMapper can determine the preferred language set in the browser requesting a page, and map to a suitable Decorator (using the "Accept-Language" HTTP header).

This can be useful for supplying different versions of the same content for different languages.

When LanguageDecoratorMapper is in the chain, it will request the appropriate Decorator from its parent. It will then add an extention to the filename of the Decorator, and if that file exists it shall be used as the Decorator instead. For example, if the Decorator path is /blah.jsp and the detected preferred language is en, the path /blah-en.jsp shall be used.

The language mappings are configured by passing properties with match. as a prefix. For example: 'match.en'=engl , 'match.nl'=dutch .

Method Details

init

public void init(Config config,
 Properties properties,
 DecoratorMapper parent)
          throws InstantiationException

Description copied from interface: DecoratorMapper

Initialize the mapper. This is always called before the other methods.

Specified by:

init in interface DecoratorMapper

Overrides:

init in class AbstractDecoratorMapper

Parameters:

config - Config supplied by Servlet or Filter.

properties - Any initialization properties (specific to implementation).

parent - the parent

Throws:

InstantiationException - the instantiation exception

getDecorator

public Decorator getDecorator(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
 Page page)

Description copied from interface: DecoratorMapper

Return appropriate Decorator for a certain Page.

The implementation can determine the result based on the actual request or the data of the parsed page. Typically this would call getNamedDecorator() which would delegate to a parent DecoratorMapper.

Specified by:

getDecorator in interface DecoratorMapper

Overrides:

getDecorator in class AbstractDecoratorMapper

Parameters:

request - the request

page - the page

Returns:

the decorator
