All Implemented Interfaces:

Disposable, Component, Configurable, LogEnabled, ThreadSafe, InputModule

public class HeaderAttributeModule
extends AbstractInputModule
implements ThreadSafe

HeaderAttributeModule accesses request header attributes. If the attribute name contains an askerisk "*" this is considered a wildcard and all attributes that would match this wildcard are considered to be part of an array of that name for getAttributeValues. Only one "*" is allowed.

Method Detail

getAttribute

public Object getAttribute(String name,
                           Configuration modeConf,
                           Map objectModel)
                    throws ConfigurationException

Description copied from interface: InputModule

Standard access to an attribute's value. If more than one value exists, the first is returned. If the value does not exist, null is returned. To get all values, use InputModule.getAttributeValues(String, Configuration, Map) or InputModule.getAttributeNames(Configuration, Map) and InputModule.getAttribute(String, Configuration, Map) to get them one by one.

Specified by:

getAttribute in interface InputModule

Overrides:

getAttribute in class AbstractInputModule

Parameters:

name - a String that specifies what the caller thinks would identify an attribute. This is mainly a fallback if no modeConf is present.

modeConf - column's mode configuration from resource description. This argument is optional.

Throws:

ConfigurationException

getAttributeNames

public Iterator getAttributeNames(Configuration modeConf,
                                  Map objectModel)
                           throws ConfigurationException

Description copied from interface: InputModule

Returns an Iterator of String objects containing the names of the attributes available. If no attributes are available, the method returns an empty Iterator.

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in interface InputModule

Overrides:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractInputModule

Parameters:

modeConf - column's mode configuration from resource description. This argument is optional.

Throws:

ConfigurationException

getAttributeValues

public Object[] getAttributeValues(String name,
                                   Configuration modeConf,
                                   Map objectModel)
                            throws ConfigurationException

Description copied from interface: InputModule

Returns an array of String objects containing all of the values the given attribute has, or null if the attribute does not exist. As an alternative, InputModule.getAttributeNames(Configuration, Map) together with InputModule.getAttribute(String, Configuration, Map) can be used to get the values one by one.

Specified by:

getAttributeValues in interface InputModule

Overrides:

getAttributeValues in class AbstractInputModule

Parameters:

name - a String that specifies what the caller thinks would identify an attributes. This is mainly a fallback if no modeConf is present.

modeConf - column's mode configuration from resource description. This argument is optional.

Throws:

ConfigurationException
