FilterDispatcherpublic class FilterDispatcher extends Object implements org.apache.struts2.StrutsStatics, FilterMaster filter for Struts that handles four distinct
responsibilities:
- Executing actions
- Cleaning up the {@link ActionContext} (see note)
- Serving static content
- Kicking off XWork's interceptor chain for the request lifecycle
IMPORTANT: this filter must be mapped to all requests. Unless you know exactly what you are doing, always
map to this URL pattern: /*
Executing actions
This filter executes actions by consulting the {@link ActionMapper} and determining if the requested URL should
invoke an action. If the mapper indicates it should, the rest of the filter chain is stopped and the action is
invoked. This is important, as it means that filters like the SiteMesh filter must be placed before this
filter or they will not be able to decorate the output of actions.
Cleaning up the {@link ActionContext}
This filter will also automatically clean up the {@link ActionContext} for you, ensuring that no memory leaks
take place. However, this can sometimes cause problems integrating with other products like SiteMesh. See {@link
ActionContextCleanUp} for more information on how to deal with this.
Serving static content
This filter also serves common static content needed when using various parts of Struts, such as JavaScript
files, CSS files, etc. It works by looking for requests to /struts/*, and then mapping the value after "/struts/"
to common packages in Struts and, optionally, in your class path. By default, the following packages are
automatically searched:
- org.apache.struts2.static
- template
This means that you can simply request /struts/xhtml/styles.css and the XHTML UI theme's default stylesheet
will be returned. Likewise, many of the AJAX UI components require various JavaScript files, which are found in the
org.apache.struts2.static package. If you wish to add additional packages to be searched, you can add a comma
separated (space, tab and new line will do as well) list in the filter init parameter named "packages". Be
careful, however, to expose any packages that may have sensitive information, such as properties file with
database access credentials.
This filter supports the following init-params:
- config - a comma-delimited list of XML configuration files to load.
- actionPackages - a comma-delimited list of Java packages to scan for Actions.
- configProviders - a comma-delimited list of Java classes that implement the
{@link com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.ConfigurationProvider} interface that should be used for building the {@link com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.Configuration}.
- * - any other parameters are treated as framework constants.
To use a custom {@link Dispatcher}, the createDispatcher() method could be overriden by
the subclass. |

Methods Summary |
---|
protected void | copy(java.io.InputStream input, java.io.OutputStream output)Copy bytes from the input stream to the output stream.
final byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int n;
while (-1 != (n = input.read(buffer))) {
output.write(buffer, 0, n);
}
output.flush(); // WW-1526
| protected Dispatcher | createDispatcher(javax.servlet.FilterConfig filterConfig)Create a default {@link Dispatcher} that subclasses can override
with a custom Dispatcher, if needed.
Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String,String>();
for (Enumeration e = filterConfig.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) {
String name = (String) e.nextElement();
String value = filterConfig.getInitParameter(name);
params.put(name, value);
}
return new Dispatcher(filterConfig.getServletContext(), params);
| public void | destroy()Calls dispatcher.cleanup,
which in turn releases local threads and destroys any DispatchListeners.
if (dispatcher == null) {
LOG.warn("something is seriously wrong, Dispatcher is not initialized (null) ");
} else {
dispatcher.cleanup();
}
| public void | doFilter(javax.servlet.ServletRequest req, javax.servlet.ServletResponse res, javax.servlet.FilterChain chain)Process an action or handle a request a static resource.
The filter tries to match the request to an action mapping.
If mapping is found, the action processes is delegated to the dispatcher's serviceAction method.
If action processing fails, doFilter will try to create an error page via the dispatcher.
Otherwise, if the request is for a static resource,
the resource is copied directly to the response, with the appropriate caching headers set.
If the request does not match an action mapping, or a static resource page,
then it passes through.
