Class ServletRepository

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Repository
    public class ServletRepository
extends ProxyRepository
    Proxy for a repository bound in servlet context. The configured repository attribute is looked up from the servlet context during each method call. Thus the repository does not need to exist when this class is instantiated. The repository can also be replaced with another repository during the lifetime of an instance of this class.

    A typical way to use this class would be: 

     public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {

     private final Repository repository = new ServletRepository(this);

     protected void doGet(
             HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
             throws ServletException, IOException {
          try {
              Session session = repository.login();
              try {
                  ...;
              } finally {
                  session.logout();
              }
          } catch (RepositoryException e) {
              throw new ServletException(e);
          }
      }

 }

    Starting with version 1.6 this class can also be used by a servlet filter: 

     public class MyFilter implements Filter {

     private Repository repository;

     public void init(FilterConfig config) {
         repository = new ServletRepository(config);
     }

     // ...

 }
    Since:
    1.4
