Class WebappContext

java.lang.Object
org.glassfish.grizzly.servlet.WebappContext
All Implemented Interfaces:
ServletContext
public class WebappContext extends Object implements ServletContext

This class acts as the foundation for registering listeners, servlets, and filters in an embedded environment.

Additionally, this class implements the the requirements set forth by the Servlet 2.5 specification of ServletContext, however, it also exposes the dynamic registration API of Servlet 3.0.

TODO: Provide code examples once the api firms up a bit.

Since:
2.2

      Roles that are implicitly declared as a result of their use within the setServletSecurity or setRunAsRole methods of the ServletRegistration interface need not be declared.

      Specified by:
      declareRoles in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      roleNames - the role names being declared

    • getContextPath

      public String getContextPath()
      Returns the context path of the web application.

      The context path is the portion of the request URI that is used to select the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. If this context is the "root" context rooted at the base of the Web server's URL name space, this path will be an empty string. Otherwise, if the context is not rooted at the root of the server's name space, the path starts with a / character but does not end with a / character.

      It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases the HttpServletRequest.getContextPath() will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by this method. The context path returned by this method should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.

      Specified by:
      getContextPath in interface ServletContext
      Returns:
      The context path of the web application, or "" for the root context
      See Also:

    • getContext

      public ServletContext getContext(String uri)
      Returns a ServletContext object that corresponds to a specified URL on the server.

      This method allows servlets to gain access to the context for various parts of the server, and as needed obtain RequestDispatcher objects from the context. The given path must be begin with /, is interpreted relative to the server's document root and is matched against the context roots of other web applications hosted on this container.

      In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may return null for a given URL.

      Specified by:
      getContext in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      uri - a String specifying the context path of another web application in the container.
      Returns:
      the ServletContext object that corresponds to the named URL, or null if either none exists or the container wishes to restrict this access.
      See Also:

    • getMajorVersion

      public int getMajorVersion()
      Returns the major version of Jakarta Servlet specification that this container supports. All implementations that comply with version X.Y of the specification, must return the integer X.

      getMinorVersion in interface ServletContext
      Returns:
      The minor version of Jakarta Servlet specification that this container supports

    • getEffectiveMajorVersion

      public int getEffectiveMajorVersion()
      Gets the major version of the Servlet specification that the application represented by this ServletContext is based on.

      The value returned may be different from ServletContext.getMajorVersion(), which returns the major version of the Servlet specification supported by the Servlet container.

      Specified by:
      getEffectiveMajorVersion in interface ServletContext
      Returns:
      the major version of the Servlet specification that the application represented by this ServletContext is based on

    • getEffectiveMinorVersion

      public int getEffectiveMinorVersion()
      Gets the minor version of the Servlet specification that the application represented by this ServletContext is based on.

      The value returned may be different from ServletContext.getMinorVersion(), which returns the minor version of the Servlet specification supported by the Servlet container.

      Specified by:
      getEffectiveMinorVersion in interface ServletContext
      Returns:
      the minor version of the Servlet specification that the application represented by this ServletContext is based on

    • getMimeType

      public String getMimeType(String file)
      Returns the MIME type of the specified file, or null if the MIME type is not known. The MIME type is determined by the configuration of the servlet container, and may be specified in a web application deployment descriptor. Common MIME types include text/html and image/gif.
      Specified by:
      getMimeType in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      file - a String specifying the name of a file
      Returns:
      a String specifying the file's MIME type

    • getResourcePaths

      public Set<String> getResourcePaths(String path)
      Returns a directory-like listing of all the paths to resources within the web application whose longest sub-path matches the supplied path argument.

      Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a /.

      The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application, or relative to the /META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file inside the web application's /WEB-INF/lib directory, and have a leading /.

      The returned set is not backed by the ServletContext object, so changes in the returned set are not reflected in the ServletContext object, and vice-versa.

      For example, for a web application containing: 

       
   /welcome.html
   /catalog/index.html
   /catalog/products.html
   /catalog/offers/books.html
   /catalog/offers/music.html
   /customer/login.jsp
   /WEB-INF/web.xml
   /WEB-INF/classes/com.acme.OrderServlet.class
   /WEB-INF/lib/catalog.jar!/META-INF/resources/catalog/moreOffers/books.html
      getResourcePaths("/") would return {"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"}, and getResourcePaths("/catalog/") would return {"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html", "/catalog/offers/", "/catalog/moreOffers/"}.
      Specified by:
      getResourcePaths in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      path - the partial path used to match the resources, which must start with a /
      Returns:
      a Set containing the directory listing, or null if there are no resources in the web application whose path begins with the supplied path.

    • getResource

      public URL getResource(String path) throws MalformedURLException
      Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to the given path.

      The path must begin with a / and is interpreted as relative to the current context root, or relative to the /META-INF/resources directory of a JAR file inside the web application's /WEB-INF/lib directory. This method will first search the document root of the web application for the requested resource, before searching any of the JAR files inside /WEB-INF/lib. The order in which the JAR files inside /WEB-INF/lib are searched is undefined.

      This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available to servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a .war file.

      The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and URLConnection objects that are necessary to access the resource.

      This method returns null if no resource is mapped to the pathname.

      Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.

      The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that requesting a .jsp page returns the JSP source code. Use a RequestDispatcher instead to include results of an execution.

      This method has a different purpose than java.lang.Class.getResource, which looks up resources based on a class loader. This method does not use class loaders.

      This method bypasses both implicit (no direct access to WEB-INF or META-INF) and explicit (defined by the web application) security constraints. Care should be taken both when constructing the path (e.g. avoid unsanitized user provided data) and when using the result not to create a security vulnerability in the application.

      Specified by:
      getResource in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      path - a String specifying the path to the resource
      Returns:
      the resource located at the named path, or null if there is no resource at that path
      Throws:
      MalformedURLException - if the pathname is not given in the correct form

    • getResourceAsStream

      public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String path)
      Returns the resource located at the named path as an InputStream object.

      The data in the InputStream can be of any type or length. The path must be specified according to the rules given in getResource. This method returns null if no resource exists at the specified path.

      Meta-information such as content length and content type that is available via getResource method is lost when using this method.

      The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and URLConnection objects necessary to access the resource.

      This method is different from java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader.

      This method bypasses both implicit (no direct access to WEB-INF or META-INF) and explicit (defined by the web application) security constraints. Care should be taken both when constructing the path (e.g. avoid unsanitized user provided data) and when using the result not to create a security vulnerability in the application.

      Specified by:
      getResourceAsStream in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      path - a String specifying the path to the resource
      Returns:
      the InputStream returned to the servlet, or null if no resource exists at the specified path

    • getRequestDispatcher

      public RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(String path)
      Returns a 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 must begin with a / and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. Use getContext to obtain a RequestDispatcher for resources in foreign contexts.

      This method returns null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher.

      Specified by:
      getRequestDispatcher in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      path - a String specifying the pathname to the resource
      Returns:
      a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher
      See Also:

    • getNamedDispatcher

      public RequestDispatcher getNamedDispatcher(String name)
      Returns a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet.

      Servlets (and JSP pages also) may be given names via server administration or via a web application deployment descriptor. A servlet instance can determine its name using ServletConfig.getServletName().

      This method returns null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher for any reason.

      Specified by:
      getNamedDispatcher in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      name - a String specifying the name of a servlet to wrap
      Returns:
      a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet, or null if the ServletContext cannot return a RequestDispatcher
      See Also:

    • addJspFile

      public ServletRegistration.Dynamic addJspFile(String servletName, String jspFile)

    • getRealPath

      public String getRealPath(String path)
      Gets the real path corresponding to the given virtual path.

      The path should begin with a / and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. If the path does not begin with a /, the container will behave as if the method was called with / appended to the beginning of the provided path.

      For example, if path is equal to /index.html, this method will return the absolute file path on the server's filesystem to which a request of the form http://<host>:<port>/<contextPath>/index.html would be mapped, where <contextPath> corresponds to the context path of this ServletContext.

      The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators.

      Resources inside the /META-INF/resources directories of JAR files bundled in the application's /WEB-INF/lib directory must be considered only if the container has unpacked them from their containing JAR file, in which case the path to the unpacked location must be returned.

      This method returns null if the servlet container is unable to translate the given virtual path to a real path.

      Specified by:
      getRealPath in interface ServletContext
      Parameters:
      path - the virtual path to be translated to a real path
      Returns:
      the real path, or null if the translation cannot be performed

This method must return the same name for all the servlet contexts deployed on a logical host, and the name returned by this method must be distinct, stable per logical host, and suitable for use in associating server configuration information with the logical host. The returned value is NOT expected or required to be equivalent to a network address or hostname of the logical host.
      Specified by:
      getVirtualServerName in interface ServletContext
      Returns:
      a String containing the configuration name of the logical host on which the servlet context is deployed.

    • getServerInfo

      public String getServerInfo()

    • getAttribute

      public Object getAttribute(String name)
      Returns the servlet container attribute with the given name, or null if there is no attribute by that name.

      An attribute allows a servlet container to give the servlet additional information not already provided by this interface. See your server documentation for information about its attributes. A list of supported attributes can be retrieved using getAttributeNames.

      The attribute is returned as a java.lang.Object or some subclass.

      Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Jakarta Servlet specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.
