public abstract class RequestFilterValve
extends ValveBase

Implementation of a Valve that performs filtering based on comparing the appropriate request property (selected based on which subclass you choose to configure into your Container's pipeline) against a set of regular expressions configured for this Valve.

This valve is configured by setting the allow and/or deny properties to a comma-delimited list of regular expressions (in the syntax supported by the jakarta-regexp library) to which the appropriate request property will be compared. Evaluation proceeds as follows:

This Valve may be attached to any Container, depending on the granularity of the filtering you wish to perform.

Constructor Detail

RequestFilterValve

public RequestFilterValve()
Method Detail

getAllow

public java.lang.String getAllow()
Return a comma-delimited set of the allow expressions configured for this Valve, if any; otherwise, return null.


setAllow

public void setAllow(java.lang.String allow)
Set the comma-delimited set of the allow expressions configured for this Valve, if any.

Parameters:
allow - The new set of allow expressions

getDeny

public java.lang.String getDeny()
Return a comma-delimited set of the deny expressions configured for this Valve, if any; otherwise, return null.


setDeny

public void setDeny(java.lang.String deny)
Set the comma-delimited set of the deny expressions configured for this Valve, if any.

Parameters:
deny - The new set of deny expressions

getInfo

public java.lang.String getInfo()
Return descriptive information about this Valve implementation.

Specified by:
getInfo in interface Valve
Overrides:
getInfo in class ValveBase

invoke

public abstract void invoke(Request request,
                            Response response,
                            ValveContext context)
                     throws java.io.IOException,
                            javax.servlet.ServletException
Extract the desired request property, and pass it (along with the specified request and response objects) to the protected process() method to perform the actual filtering. This method must be implemented by a concrete subclass.

Specified by:
invoke in interface Valve
Specified by:
invoke in class ValveBase
Parameters:
request - The servlet request to be processed
response - The servlet response to be created
context - The valve context used to invoke the next valve in the current processing pipeline
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs
javax.servlet.ServletException - if a servlet error occurs

precalculate

protected org.apache.regexp.REProgram[] precalculate(java.lang.String list)
Return an array of pre-compiled regular expression objects initialized from the specified argument, which must be null or a comma-delimited list of regular expression patterns.

Parameters:
list - The comma-separated list of patterns
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if one of the patterns has invalid syntax

process

protected void process(java.lang.String property,
                       Request request,
                       Response response,
                       ValveContext context)
                throws java.io.IOException,
                       javax.servlet.ServletException
Perform the filtering that has been configured for this Valve, matching against the specified request property.

Parameters:
property - The request property on which to filter
request - The servlet request to be processed
response - The servlet response to be processed
context - The valve context used to invoke the next valve in the current processing pipeline
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an input/output error occurs
javax.servlet.ServletException - if a servlet error occurs
