public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns the value of the named attribute as an Object, or null if no attribute of the given name exists.

Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programatically using ServletRequest.setAttribute(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object). This allows information to be embedded into a request before a RequestDispatcher call.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Removes an attribute from this request. This method is not generally needed as attributes only persist as long as the request is being handled.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. Names beginning with java.*, javax.*, and com.sun.*, are reserved for use by Sun Microsystems.

Specified by:
removeAttribute in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the attribute to remove

setAttribute

You should only use this method when you are sure the parameter has only one value. If the parameter might have more than one value, use ServletRequest.getParameterValues(java.lang.String).

If you use this method with a multivalued parameter, the value returned is equal to the first value in the array returned by getParameterValues.

If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via ServletRequest.getInputStream() or ServletRequest.getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method.

Specified by:
getParameter in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
name - a String specifying the name of the parameter
Returns:
a String representing the single value of the parameter
See Also:
ServletRequest.getParameterValues(java.lang.String)

getParameterMap

public java.util.Map getParameterMap()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns a java.util.Map of the parameters of this request. Request parameters are extra information sent with the request. For HTTP servlets, parameters are contained in the query string or posted form data.

Specified by:
getParameterMap in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
an immutable java.util.Map containing parameter names as keys and parameter values as map values. The keys in the parameter map are of type String. The values in the parameter map are of type String array.

getParameterNames

public java.util.Enumeration getParameterNames()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns an Enumeration of String objects containing the names of the parameters contained in this request. If the request has no parameters, the method returns an empty Enumeration.

Specified by:
getParameterNames in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns:
an Enumeration of String objects, each String containing the name of a request parameter; or an empty Enumeration if the request has no parameters

getParameterValues

public java.lang.String[] getParameterValues(java.lang.String name)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns an array of String objects containing all of the values the given request parameter has, or null if the parameter does not exist.

If the parameter has a single value, the array has a length of 1.

Specified by:
getParameterValues in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
name - a String containing the name of the parameter whose value is requested
Returns:
an array of String objects containing the parameter's values
See Also:

getRequestDispatcher

public javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String path)
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Returns a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at the given path. A RequestDispatcher object can be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be dynamic or static.

The pathname specified may be relative, although it cannot extend outside the current servlet context. If the path begins with a "/" it is interpreted as relative to the current context root. This method returns null if the servlet container cannot return a RequestDispatcher.

The difference between this method and ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String) is that this method can take a relative path.

Specified by:
getRequestDispatcher in interface javax.servlet.ServletRequest
Parameters:
path - a String specifying the pathname to the resource. If it is relative, it must be relative against the current servlet.
Returns:
a RequestDispatcher object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or null if the servlet container cannot return a RequestDispatcher
See Also:
RequestDispatcher, ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String)

getAuthType

Same as the value of the CGI variable AUTH_TYPE.

Specified by:
getAuthType in interface javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Returns:
one of the static members BASIC_AUTH, FORM_AUTH, CLIENT_CERT_AUTH, DIGEST_AUTH (suitable for == comparison) or the container-specific string indicating the authentication scheme, or null if the request was not authenticated.

getCookies

public javax.servlet.http.Cookie[] getCookies()

a String containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string

setDecodedRequestURI

public void setDecodedRequestURI(java.lang.String uri)

getRequestURL

public java.lang.StringBuffer getRequestURL()
Description copied from interface: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.
