Interface Wrapper

All Superinterfaces:
Container, Lifecycle
All Known Implementing Classes:
StandardWrapper, Tomcat.ExistingStandardWrapper

public interface Wrapper extends Container
A Wrapper is a Container that represents an individual servlet definition from the deployment descriptor of the web application. It provides a convenient mechanism to use Interceptors that see every single request to the servlet represented by this definition.

Implementations of Wrapper are responsible for managing the servlet life cycle for their underlying servlet class, including calling init() and destroy() at appropriate times, as well as respecting the existence of the SingleThreadModel declaration on the servlet class itself.

The parent Container attached to a Wrapper will generally be an implementation of Context, representing the servlet context (and therefore the web application) within which this servlet executes.

Child Containers are not allowed on Wrapper implementations, so the addChild() method should throw an IllegalArgumentException.

  • Field Details

  • Method Details

    • getAvailable

      long getAvailable()
      Returns:
      the available date/time for this servlet, in milliseconds since the epoch. If this date/time is in the future, any request for this servlet will return an SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE error. If it is zero, the servlet is currently available. A value equal to Long.MAX_VALUE is considered to mean that unavailability is permanent.
    • setAvailable

      void setAvailable(long available)
      Set the available date/time for this servlet, in milliseconds since the epoch. If this date/time is in the future, any request for this servlet will return an SC_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE error. A value equal to Long.MAX_VALUE is considered to mean that unavailability is permanent.
      Parameters:
      available - The new available date/time
    • getLoadOnStartup

      int getLoadOnStartup()
      Returns:
      the load-on-startup order value (negative value means load on first call).
    • setLoadOnStartup

      void setLoadOnStartup(int value)
      Set the load-on-startup order value (negative value means load on first call).
      Parameters:
      value - New load-on-startup value

    • allocate

      Servlet allocate() throws ServletException
      Allocate an initialized instance of this Servlet that is ready to have its service() method called. If the Servlet class does not implement SingleThreadModel, the (only) initialized instance may be returned immediately. If the Servlet class implements SingleThreadModel, the Wrapper implementation must ensure that this instance is not allocated again until it is deallocated by a call to deallocate().
      Returns:
      a new Servlet instance

      Return this previously allocated servlet to the pool of available instances. If this servlet class does not implement SingleThreadModel, no action is actually required.
