Interface RebelHttpServletRequest

public interface RebelHttpServletRequest

Http servlet request interface visible to JRebel agent.

Separate interface is required as the javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest interface is not loaded by the boot class loader.

In practice a bytecode processor makes javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest to extend the given interface.

Method Detail

getRequestURL

StringBuffer getRequestURL()

Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.

Because this method returns a StringBuffer, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.

This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.

Returns:

a StringBuffer object containing the reconstructed URL

getRequestURI

String getRequestURI()

Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request. The web container does not decode this String. For example:

First line of HTTP request	Returned Value
POST /some/path.html HTTP/1.1		/some/path.html
GET http://foo.bar/a.html HTTP/1.0		/a.html
HEAD /xyz?a=b HTTP/1.1		/xyz

Returns:

a String containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string

getMethod

String getMethod()

Returns the name of the HTTP method with which this request was made, for example, GET, POST, or PUT. Same as the value of the CGI variable REQUEST_METHOD.

Returns:

a String specifying the name of the method with which this request was made

getQueryString

String getQueryString()

Returns the query string that is contained in the request URL after the path. This method returns null if the URL does not have a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable QUERY_STRING.

Returns:

a String containing the query string or null if the URL contains no query string. The value is not decoded by the container.
