Method Detail

getURICharset

public static final String getURICharset()

Returns the charset used to encode URI and query string.

setup

public static final Object setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession sess,
                                 javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                 javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
                                 String charset)

Sets up the charset for the request and response based on getPreferredLocale(HttpSession,ServletRequest). After setting up, you shall invoke cleanup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, java.lang.Object) before exiting.

 final Object old = setup(request, response, null);
 try {
          ....
 } finally {
    cleanup(request, old);
 }

 
It is OK to call this method multiple time, since it is smart
 enough to ignore redundant calls.

 
CharsetFilter actually use this method to setup
 the proper charset and locale. By mapping CharsetFilter to
 all servlets, the encoding charset could be prepared correctly.
 However, if you are writing libraries to be as independent of
 web.xml as possible, you might choose to invoke this method directly.

Parameters:

sess - the session to look for the preferred locale. Ignored if null.

charset - the response's charset. If null or empty, response.setCharacterEncoding won't be called, i.e., the container's default is used.

Returns:

an object that must be passed to cleanup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, java.lang.Object)

setup

public static final Object setup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                 javax.servlet.ServletResponse response,
                                 String charset)

Sets up the charset for the request and response based on getPreferredLocale(HttpSession,ServletRequest). It is the same as setup(request.getSession(false), request, response, charset);

cleanup

public static final void cleanup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                 Object old)

Cleans up what has been set in setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String). Some invocation are not undo-able, so this method only does the basic cleanups.

Parameters:

old - the value must be the one returned by the last call to setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String).

hasSetup

public static final boolean hasSetup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)

Returns whether the specified request has been set up, i.e., setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String) is called

It is rarely needed to call this method, because it is called automatically by setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String).

markSetup

public static final void markSetup(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                   boolean setup)

Marks the specified request whether it has been set up, i.e., setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String) is called.

It is rarely needed to call this method, because it is called automatically by setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String).

getPreferredLocale

public static final Locale getPreferredLocale(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession sess,
                                              javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)

Returns the preferred locale of the specified request. You rarely need to invoke this method directly, because it is done automatically by setup(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse, java.lang.String).

1. It checks whether any attribute stored in HttpSession called Attributes.PREFERRED_LOCALE. If so, return it.
2. If not found, it checks if the servlet context has the attribute called Attributes.PREFERRED_LOCALE. If so, return it.
3. If not found, it checks if the library property called Attributes.PREFERRED_LOCALE is defined. If so, return it.
4. Otherwise, use ServletRequest.getLocale().

Parameters:

sess - the session to look for the preferred locale. Ignored if null.

getPreferredLocale

public static final Locale getPreferredLocale(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)

Returns the preferred locale of the specified request. It is the same as getPreferredLocale(request.getSession(false), request).

setPreferredLocale

public static final void setPreferredLocale(javax.servlet.http.HttpSession hsess,
                                            Locale locale)

Sets the preferred locale for the specified session. It is the default locale for the whole Web session.

Default: null (no preferred locale -- depending on browser's setting).

Parameters:

locale - the preferred Locale. If null, it means no preferred locale

Since:

3.6.3

setPreferredLocale

public static final void setPreferredLocale(javax.servlet.ServletContext ctx,
                                            Locale locale)

Sets the preferred locale for the specified servlet context. It is the default locale for the whole Web application.

Default: null (no preferred locale -- depending on browser's setting).

Parameters:

locale - the preferred Locale. If null, it means no preferred locale

Since:

3.6.3
