Request (Apache Tomcat 8.5.58 API Documentation)

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

@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. 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:
    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
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
  - getStartTime
```
public long getStartTime()
```
  - setStartTime
```
public void setStartTime(long startTime)
```
  - setNote
```
public final 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
  - getNote
```
public final Object getNote(int pos)
```
  - recycle
```
public void recycle()
```
  - updateCounters
```
public void updateCounters()
```
  - getRequestProcessor
```
public RequestInfo getRequestProcessor()
```
  - getBytesRead
```
public long getBytesRead()
```
  - isProcessing
```
public boolean isProcessing()
```
