Field Detail

• public static final String CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT_HTML

  Content type of the HTTP response.

• public static final String INC_PATH_INFO

  Servlet API include key name: path_info

• public static final String INC_REQUEST_URI

• public static final String INC_SERVLET_PATH

  Servlet API include key name: servlet_path

• public static final String INIT_PARAM_RESOURCE_NAME_REGEX

• public static final String INIT_PARAM_RESOURCE_NAME_REGEX_FLAGS

• protected String encoding

  Encoding to use, becomes charset part of contentType.

• protected String namePrefix

  a.fink: it was in removeNamePrefix, but was extracted to var for optimization

• protected boolean reflection

  Mirrors the static value of the reflection flag in MetaClass. See AbstractHttpServlet#logGROOVY861

• protected Pattern resourceNamePattern

  Either null or a compiled pattern read from "{

  value:

  #INIT_PARAM_RESOURCE_NAME_REGEX}" and used in AbstractHttpServlet.getScriptUri.

• protected boolean resourceNameReplaceAll

  The replace method to use on the matcher.

   true - replaceAll(resourceNameReplacement); (default)
   false - replaceFirst(resourceNameReplacement);
   

• protected String resourceNameReplacement

  The replacement used by the resource name matcher.

• protected ServletContext servletContext

  Servlet (or the web application) context.

• protected boolean verbose

  Controls almost all log output.

Constructor Detail

• public AbstractHttpServlet()

  Initializes all fields with default values.

Method Detail

• protected String applyResourceNameMatcher(String uri)

• protected void generateNamePrefixOnce()

• public URLConnection getResourceConnection(String name)

  Interface method for ResourceContainer. This is used by the GroovyScriptEngine.

• protected String getScriptUri(HttpServletRequest request)

  Returns the include-aware uri of the script or template file.

  Parameters:

  request - the http request to analyze

  Returns:

  the include-aware uri either parsed from request attributes or hints provided by the servlet container

• protected File getScriptUriAsFile(HttpServletRequest request)

  Parses the http request for the real script or template source file.

  Parameters:

  request - the http request to analyze

  Returns:

  a file object using an absolute file path name, or null if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a .war archive).

• public void init(ServletConfig config)

  Overrides the generic init method to set some debug flags.

  throws:

  ServletException if init() method defined in super class javax.servlet.GenericServlet throws it

  Parameters:

  config - the servlet configuration provided by the container

• protected String removeNamePrefix(String name)

• protected void setVariables(ServletBinding binding)

  Override this method to set your variables to the Groovy binding.

  All variables bound the binding are passed to the template source text, e.g. the HTML file, when the template is merged.

  The binding provided by TemplateServlet does already include some default variables. As of this writing, they are (copied from ServletBinding):

  • "request" : HttpServletRequest
  • "response" : HttpServletResponse
  • "context" : ServletContext
  • "application" : ServletContext
  • "session" : request.getSession(false)

  And via implicit hard-coded keywords:

  • "out" : response.getWriter()
  • "sout" : response.getOutputStream()
  • "html" : new MarkupBuilder(response.getWriter())

  The binding also provides convenient methods:

  • "forward(String path)" : request.getRequestDispatcher(path).forward(request, response);
  • "include(String path)" : request.getRequestDispatcher(path).include(request, response);
  • "redirect(String location)" : response.sendRedirect(location);

  Example binding all servlet context variables:

  
   class MyServlet extends TemplateServlet {
  
     protected void setVariables(ServletBinding binding) {
       // Bind a simple variable
       binding.setVariable("answer", new Long(42));
  
       // Bind all servlet context attributes...
       ServletContext context = (ServletContext) binding.getVariable("context");
       Enumeration enumeration = context.getAttributeNames();
       while (enumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
         String name = (String) enumeration.nextElement();
         binding.setVariable(name, context.getAttribute(name));
       }
     }
   }
   

  Parameters:

  binding - to be modified
