  • Method Details

    • addMapping

      Set<String> addMapping(String... urlPatterns)
      Adds a servlet mapping with the given URL patterns for the Servlet represented by this ServletRegistration. If any of the specified URL patterns are already mapped to a different Servlet, no updates will be performed. If this method is called multiple times, each successive call adds to the effects of the former. The returned set is not backed by the ServletRegistration object, so changes in the returned set are not reflected in the ServletRegistration object, and vice-versa.
      Parameters:
      urlPatterns - The URL patterns that this Servlet should be mapped to
      Returns:
      the (possibly empty) Set of URL patterns that are already mapped to a different Servlet
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if urlPattern is null or empty
      IllegalStateException - if the associated ServletContext has already been initialised
    • getMappings

      Collection<String> getMappings()
      Gets the currently available mappings of the Servlet represented by this ServletRegistration. If permitted, any changes to the returned Collection must not affect this ServletRegistration.
      Returns:
      a (possibly empty) Collection of the currently available mappings of the Servlet represented by this ServletRegistration
    • getRunAsRole

      String getRunAsRole()
      Obtain the name of the user / group under which the Servlet has been configured to run.
      Returns:
      the name of the user / group or null if none has been specified
