Class FacesRequestProcessor

java.lang.Object

org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor

org.apache.struts.faces.application.FacesRequestProcessor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class FacesRequestProcessor
extends RequestProcessor

Concrete implementation of RequestProcessor that implements the standard Struts request processing lifecycle on a request that was received as an ActionEvent by our associated ActionListener. It replaces the request processor instance normally configured by Struts, so it must support non-Faces requests as well.

Method Details

doForward

protected void doForward(String uri,
 HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
                  throws IOException,
ServletException

Set up a Faces Request if we are not already processing one. Next, create a new view if the specified uri is different from the current view identifier. Finally, cause the new view to be rendered, and call FacesContext.responseComplete() to indicate that this has already been done.

Overrides:

doForward in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

uri - Context-relative path to forward to

request - Current page request

response - Current page response

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

ServletException - if a servlet error occurs

processActionCreate

protected Action processActionCreate(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 ActionMapping mapping)
                              throws IOException

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Return an Action instance that will be used to process the current request, creating a new one if necessary.

Overrides:

processActionCreate in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

mapping - The mapping we are using

Returns:

An Action instance that will be used to process the current request.

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

processActionForm

protected ActionForm processActionForm(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 ActionMapping mapping)

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Retrieve and return the ActionForm associated with this mapping, creating and retaining one if necessary. If there is no ActionForm associated with this mapping, return null.

Overrides:

processActionForm in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

mapping - The mapping we are using

Returns:

The ActionForm associated with this mapping.

processActionPerform

protected ActionForward processActionPerform(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 Action action,
 ActionForm form,
 ActionMapping mapping)
                                      throws IOException,
ServletException

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Ask the specified Action instance to handle this request. Return the ActionForward instance (if any) returned by the called Action for further processing.

Overrides:

processActionPerform in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

action - The Action instance to be used

form - The ActionForm instance to pass to this Action

mapping - The ActionMapping instance to pass to this Action

Returns:

The ActionForward instance (if any) returned by the called Action.

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

ServletException - if a servlet exception occurs

processForward

protected boolean processForward(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 ActionMapping mapping)
                          throws IOException,
ServletException

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Process a forward requested by this mapping (if any). Return true if standard processing should continue, or false if we have already handled this request.

Overrides:

processForward in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

mapping - The ActionMapping we are using

Returns:

true to continue normal processing; false if a response has been created.

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

ServletException - if a servlet exception occurs

processForwardConfig

protected void processForwardConfig(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 ForwardConfig forward)
                             throws IOException,
ServletException

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Forward or redirect to the specified destination, by the specified mechanism. This method uses a ForwardConfig object instead an ActionForward.

Overrides:

processForwardConfig in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

forward - The ForwardConfig controlling where we go next

Throws:

IOException - if an input/output error occurs

ServletException - if a servlet exception occurs

processInclude

protected boolean processInclude(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response,
 ActionMapping mapping)
                          throws IOException,

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

Process an include requested by this mapping (if any). Return true if standard processing should continue, or false if we have already handled this request.

Overrides:

processInclude in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

processPath

protected String processPath(HttpServletRequest request,
 HttpServletResponse response)
                      throws IOException

Identify and return the path component (from the request URI for a non-Faces request, or from the form event for a Faces request) that we will use to select an ActionMapping to dispatch with. If no such path can be identified, create an error response and return null.

Overrides:

processPath in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

Returns:

The path that will be used to select an action mapping.

Throws:

processPopulate

protected void processPopulate(HttpServletRequest request,

 ActionMapping mapping)
                        throws ServletException

Populate the properties of the specified ActionForm instance from the request parameters included with this request, IF this is a non-Faces request. For a Faces request, this will have already been done by the Update Model Values phase of the request processing lifecycle, so all we have to do is recognize whether the request was cancelled or not.

Overrides:

processPopulate in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

form - The ActionForm instance we are populating

mapping - The ActionMapping we are using

Throws:

ServletException - if thrown by RequestUtils.populate()

InvalidCancelException

Description copied from class: RequestProcessor

If this request was not cancelled, and the request's ActionMapping has not disabled validation, call the validate method of the specified ActionForm, and forward to the input path if there were any errors. Return true if we should continue processing, or false if we have already forwarded control back to the input form.

Overrides:

processValidate in class RequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing

response - The servlet response we are creating

form - The ActionForm instance we are populating

mapping - The ActionMapping we are using

Returns:

true to continue normal processing; false if a response has been created.
