Class ADFBindingFilter

java.lang.Object
oracle.adf.model.servlet.ADFBindingFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

public class ADFBindingFilter

extends java.lang.Object

implements javax.servlet.Filter

The ADFBindingFilter is used to pre-process any http requests to resources that may require access to the ADF runtime. It is responsible for: - Initializing the Binding Context for a user's http session. - Serializing all incoming http requests within a session. - Notifying data control instances that a request is about to be served. - Notifying data control instances after the response has been served to the client.

Method Summary

void	destroy() Cleans up any applications-specific resources that where allocated.
void	doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request, javax.servlet.ServletResponse response, javax.servlet.FilterChain chain) The main filter function.
void	init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig filterConfig) initializes the servlet by retrieving the 'encoding' parameter and saving it's value for subsequent use.
static BindingContext	initializeBindingContext(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) Initalizes the binding context by reading the CPX file defined by the 'CpxFileName' init parameter.
protected void	processEncoding(javax.servlet.ServletRequest srequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse sresponse) Set the character encoding on the request using the value stored in the init param of the web.xml.

Method Detail

init

public void init(javax.servlet.FilterConfig filterConfig)
          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

initializes the servlet by retrieving the 'encoding' parameter and saving it's value for subsequent use. The encoding is important for initalizing http request and response objects to the correct encoding for support of NLS applications.

Specified by:

init in interface javax.servlet.Filter

Parameters:

filterConfig -

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

destroy

public void destroy()

Cleans up any applications-specific resources that where allocated.

Specified by:

destroy in interface javax.servlet.Filter

doFilter

public void doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                     javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
                     javax.servlet.FilterChain chain)
              throws java.io.IOException,
                     javax.servlet.ServletException

The main filter function. This processes the http request and makes sure that the binding context is initialized for use by the controller and/or any web pages that use data binding.

Specified by:

doFilter in interface javax.servlet.Filter

Parameters:

request -

response -

chain -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

javax.servlet.ServletException

initializeBindingContext

public static BindingContext initializeBindingContext(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Initalizes the binding context by reading the CPX file defined by the 'CpxFileName' init parameter.

Parameters:

request -

Returns:

processEncoding

protected void processEncoding(javax.servlet.ServletRequest srequest,
                               javax.servlet.ServletResponse sresponse)
                        throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Set the character encoding on the request using the value stored in the init param of the web.xml. If the value is not defined in the web.xml, do not change the character encoding.

Parameters:

srequest - ServletRequest

sresponse - ServletResponse

Throws:

java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
