/**
 * Provides an abstract class to be subclassed to create
 * an HTTP servlet suitable for a Web site. A subclass of
 * HttpServlet must override at least 
 * one method, usually one of these:
 *
 * 
    *
  • doGet, if the servlet supports HTTP GET requests *
  • doPost, for HTTP POST requests *
  • doPut, for HTTP PUT requests *
  • doDelete, for HTTP DELETE requests *
  • init and destroy, * to manage resources that are held for the life of the servlet *
  • getServletInfo, which the servlet uses to * provide information about itself *
* *

There's almost no reason to override the service * method. service handles standard HTTP * requests by dispatching them to the handler methods * for each HTTP request type (the doXXX * methods listed above). * *

Likewise, there's almost no reason to override the * doOptions and doTrace methods. * *

Servlets typically run on multithreaded servers, * so be aware that a servlet must handle concurrent * requests and be careful to synchronize access to shared resources. * Shared resources include in-memory data such as * instance or class variables and external objects * such as files, database connections, and network * connections. * See the * * Java Tutorial on Multithreaded Programming for more * information on handling multiple threads in a Java program. * * @author Various * @version $Version$ */ public abstract class HttpServlet extends GenericServlet { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private static final String METHOD_DELETE = "DELETE"; private static final String METHOD_HEAD = "HEAD"; private static final String METHOD_GET = "GET"; private static final String METHOD_OPTIONS = "OPTIONS"; private static final String METHOD_POST = "POST"; private static final String METHOD_PUT = "PUT"; private static final String METHOD_TRACE = "TRACE"; private static final String HEADER_IFMODSINCE = "If-Modified-Since"; private static final String HEADER_LASTMOD = "Last-Modified"; private static final String LSTRING_FILE = "javax.servlet.http.LocalStrings"; private static ResourceBundle lStrings = ResourceBundle.getBundle(LSTRING_FILE); /** * Does nothing, because this is an abstract class. */ public HttpServlet() { // NOOP } /** * Called by the server (via the service method) to * allow a servlet to handle a GET request. * *

Overriding this method to support a GET request also * automatically supports an HTTP HEAD request. A HEAD * request is a GET request that returns no body in the * response, only the request header fields. * *

When overriding this method, read the request data, * write the response headers, get the response's writer or * output stream object, and finally, write the response data. * It's best to include content type and encoding. When using * a PrintWriter object to return the response, * set the content type before accessing the * PrintWriter object. * *

The servlet container must write the headers before * committing the response, because in HTTP the headers must be sent * before the response body. * *

Where possible, set the Content-Length header (with the * {@link javax.servlet.ServletResponse#setContentLength} method), * to allow the servlet container to use a persistent connection * to return its response to the client, improving performance. * The content length is automatically set if the entire response fits * inside the response buffer. * *

When using HTTP 1.1 chunked encoding (which means that the response * has a Transfer-Encoding header), do not set the Content-Length header. * *

The GET method should be safe, that is, without * any side effects for which users are held responsible. * For example, most form queries have no side effects. * If a client request is intended to change stored data, * the request should use some other HTTP method. * *

The GET method should also be idempotent, meaning * that it can be safely repeated. Sometimes making a * method safe also makes it idempotent. For example, * repeating queries is both safe and idempotent, but * buying a product online or modifying data is neither * safe nor idempotent. * *

If the request is incorrectly formatted, doGet * returns an HTTP "Bad Request" message. * * @param req an {@link HttpServletRequest} object that * contains the request the client has made * of the servlet * * @param resp an {@link HttpServletResponse} object that * contains the response the servlet sends * to the client * * @exception IOException if an input or output error is * detected when the servlet handles * the GET request * * @exception ServletException if the request for the GET * could not be handled * * @see javax.servlet.ServletResponse#setContentType */ protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException { String protocol = req.getProtocol(); String msg = lStrings.getString("http.method_get_not_supported"); if (protocol.endsWith("1.1")) { resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, msg); } else { resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST, msg); } } /** * Returns the time the HttpServletRequest * object was last modified, * in milliseconds since midnight January 1, 1970 GMT. * If the time is unknown, this method returns a negative * number (the default). * *

Servlets that support HTTP GET requests and can quickly determine * their last modification time should override this method. * This makes browser and proxy caches work more effectively, * reducing the load on server and network resources. * * @param req the HttpServletRequest * object that is sent to the servlet * * @return a long integer specifying * the time the HttpServletRequest * object was last modified, in milliseconds * since midnight, January 1, 1970 GMT, or * -1 if the time is not known */ protected long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest req) { return -1; } /** *

If you override this method, you can avoid computing * the response body and just set the response headers * directly to improve performance. Make sure that the * doHead method you write is both safe * and idempotent (that is, protects itself from being * called multiple times for one HTTP HEAD request). * *

When overriding this method, read the request data, * write the response headers, get the response's writer or output * stream object, and finally, write the response data. It's best * to include content type and encoding. When using a * PrintWriter object to return the response, set the * content type before accessing the PrintWriter object. * *
