Class SupplyHandler

java.lang.Object
sunlabs.brazil.handler.SupplyHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
Handler
public class SupplyHandler extends Object implements Handler
Sample Handler for dispatching different users to different url's based on a special http authentication header. This is a re-implementation of the supplier.net content server using the new server apis (e.g. its not used for anything anymore). This handler was originally designed to be a "virtual web site", where credentials are passed in from an upstream proxy. Those credentials are used to provide different views based on the particular credentials supplied. The following configuration properties are used:
mapFile
properties file
prefix
url prefix
default
default map
header
http header (authentication)
realm
The authentication realm (basic)

    • init

      public boolean init(Server server, String prefix)
      Description copied from interface: Handler
      Initializes the handler.
      Specified by:
      init in interface Handler
      Parameters:
      server - The HTTP server that created this Handler. Typical Handlers will use Server.props to obtain run-time configuration information.
      prefix - The handlers name. The string this Handler may prepend to all of the keys that it uses to extract configuration information from Server.props. This is set (by the Server and ChainHandler) to help avoid configuration parameter namespace collisions.
      Returns:
      true if this Handler initialized successfully, false otherwise. If false is returned, this Handler should not be used.

    • respond

      public boolean respond(Request request)
      Dispatch and handle the request. This version looks at the supplier id, rewrites the url based on that supplier, then lets the default handler do it.
      Specified by:
      respond in interface Handler
      Parameters:
      request - The Request object that represents the HTTP request.
      Returns:
      true if the request was handled. A request was handled if a response was supplied to the client, typically by calling Request.sendResponse() or Request.sendError.
