Class PathMatchingFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:
javax.servlet.Filter, org.apache.shiro.lang.util.Nameable, PathConfigProcessor
Direct Known Subclasses:
AccessControlFilter, AnonymousFilter, NoSessionCreationFilter

public abstract class PathMatchingFilter extends AdviceFilter implements PathConfigProcessor

Base class for Filters that will process only specified paths and allow all others to pass through.

Since:
0.9
  • Field Details

    • pathMatcher

      protected org.apache.shiro.util.PatternMatcher pathMatcher
      PatternMatcher used in determining which paths to react to for a given request.
    • appliedPaths

      A collection of path-to-config entries where the key is a path which this filter should process and the value is the (possibly null) configuration element specific to this Filter for that specific path.

      To put it another way, the keys are the paths (urls) that this Filter will process.

      The values are filter-specific data that this Filter should use when processing the corresponding key (path). The values can be null if no Filter-specific config was specified for that url.

    • processPathConfig

      public javax.servlet.Filter processPathConfig(String path, String config)
      Splits any comma-delimited values that might be found in the config argument and sets the resulting String[] array on the appliedPaths internal Map.

      That is:

      
       String[] values = null;
       if (config != null) {
           values = split(config);
       }
       

      this.appliedPaths.put(path, values);

      Specified by:
      processPathConfig in interface PathConfigProcessor
      Parameters:
      path - the application context path to match for executing this filter.
      config - the specified for this particular filter only for the given path
      Returns:
      this configured filter.
    • getPathWithinApplication

      protected String getPathWithinApplication(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)
      Returns the context path within the application based on the specified request.

      This implementation merely delegates to WebUtils.getPathWithinApplication(request), but can be overridden by subclasses for custom logic.

      Parameters:
      request - the incoming ServletRequest
      Returns:
      the context path within the application.
    • pathsMatch

      protected boolean pathsMatch(String path, javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)
      Returns true if the incoming request matches the specified path pattern, false otherwise.

      The default implementation acquires the request's path within the application and determines if that matches:

      String requestURI = getPathWithinApplication(request);
      return pathsMatch(path,requestURI)

      Parameters:
      path - the configured url pattern to check the incoming request against.
      request - the incoming ServletRequest
      Returns:
      true if the incoming request matches the specified path pattern, false otherwise.
    • pathsMatch

      protected boolean pathsMatch(String pattern, String path)
      Returns true if the path matches the specified pattern string, false otherwise.

      Simply delegates to this.pathMatcher.matches(pattern,path), but can be overridden by subclasses for custom matching behavior.

      Parameters:
      pattern - the pattern to match against
      path - the value to match with the specified pattern
      Returns:
      true if the path matches the specified pattern string, false otherwise.
    • preHandle

      protected boolean preHandle(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request, javax.servlet.ServletResponse response) throws Exception
      Implementation that handles path-matching behavior before a request is evaluated. If the path matches and the filter isEnabled for that path/config, the request will be allowed through via the result from onPreHandle. If the path does not match or the filter is not enabled for that path, this filter will allow passthrough immediately to allow the FilterChain to continue executing.

      In order to retain path-matching functionality, subclasses should not override this method if at all possible, and instead override onPreHandle instead.

      Overrides:
      preHandle in class AdviceFilter
      Parameters:
      request - the incoming ServletRequest
      response - the outgoing ServletResponse
      Returns:
      true if the filter chain is allowed to continue to execute, false if a subclass has handled the request explicitly.
      Throws:
      Exception - if an error occurs
    • onPreHandle

      protected boolean onPreHandle(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request, javax.servlet.ServletResponse response, Object mappedValue) throws Exception
      This default implementation always returns true and should be overridden by subclasses for custom logic if necessary.
      Parameters:
      request - the incoming ServletRequest
      response - the outgoing ServletResponse
      mappedValue - the filter-specific config value mapped to this filter in the URL rules mappings.
      Returns:
      true if the request should be able to continue, false if the filter will handle the response directly.
      Throws:
      Exception - if an error occurs
