Class Request

java.lang.Object
org.apache.coyote.Request

public final class Request extends Object
This is a low-level, efficient representation of a server request. Most fields are GC-free, expensive operations are delayed until the user code needs the information. Processing is delegated to modules, using a hook mechanism. This class is not intended for user code - it is used internally by tomcat for processing the request in the most efficient way. Users ( servlets ) can access the information using a facade, which provides the high-level view of the request. Tomcat defines a number of attributes:
  • "org.apache.tomcat.request" - allows access to the low-level request object in trusted applications

    • doRead

      @Deprecated public int doRead(ByteChunk chunk) throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Unused. Will be removed in Tomcat 9. Use doRead(ApplicationBufferHandler)
      Read data from the input buffer and put it into a byte chunk. The buffer is owned by the protocol implementation - it will be reused on the next read. The Adapter must either process the data in place or copy it to a separate buffer if it needs to hold it. In most cases this is done during byte->char conversions or via InputStream. Unlike InputStream, this interface allows the app to process data in place, without copy.
      Parameters:
      chunk - The destination to which to copy the data
      Returns:
      The number of bytes copied
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs during the copy
    • doRead

      public int doRead(ApplicationBufferHandler handler) throws IOException
      Read data from the input buffer and put it into ApplicationBufferHandler. The buffer is owned by the protocol implementation - it will be reused on the next read.

Unlike InputStream, this interface allows the app to process data in place, without copy.
      Parameters:
      handler - The destination to which to copy the data
      Returns:
      The number of bytes copied
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs during the copy
    • setErrorException

      public void setErrorException(Exception ex)

      public boolean isRequestThread()
    • setNote

      public void setNote(int pos, Object value)
      Used to store private data. Thread data could be used instead - but if you have the req, getting/setting a note is just a array access, may be faster than ThreadLocal for very frequent operations. Example use: Catalina CoyoteAdapter: ADAPTER_NOTES = 1 - stores the HttpServletRequest object ( req/res) To avoid conflicts, note in the range 0 - 8 are reserved for the servlet container ( catalina connector, etc ), and values in 9 - 16 for connector use. 17-31 range is not allocated or used.
      Parameters:
      pos - Index to use to store the note
      value - The value to store at that index
