Method Detail

addNoCacheHeaders

public static void addNoCacheHeaders(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Adds Cache-Control and Pragma headers meant to disable caching.

Parameters:

response - transport to add headers to

setUTF8Encoding

public static void setUTF8Encoding(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Sets the character encoding of the transport to UTF-8.

Parameters:

response - transport to set character encoding type

setContentType

public static void setContentType(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response,
                  String contentType)

Sets the MIME content type of the response.

Parameters:

response - the transport to set content type on

contentType - the content type to set

getRequestPathWithoutContext

public static String getRequestPathWithoutContext(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Gets the request URI as returned by HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() but without the servlet context path.

Parameters:

request - request to get the URI from

Returns:

constructed URI

getFullRequestURI

public static URI getFullRequestURI(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Gets the URL that was requested to generate this request. This includes the scheme, host, port, path, and query string.

Parameters:

request - current request

Returns:

URL that was requested to generate this request

validateContentType

public static boolean validateContentType(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                          Set<com.google.common.net.MediaType> validTypes,
                          boolean noContentTypeIsValid,
                          boolean isOneOfStrategy)

Validate the Content-Type of the specified request.

2 strategies are supported for evaluating the request's parsed content type:

1. If isOneOfStrategy is true, then the MediaType parsed from the request is compared to each of the specified valid types via MediaType.is(MediaType). If any pass, the type is considered valid. This allows use of MediaType's support for wildcard and parameter evaluation.
2. If isOneOfStrategy is false, then the MediaType parsed from the request is stripped of its parameters, as is each of the valid types. Then a simple evaluation is done that the request type is equal to one of the passed types. In this case, only literal types and subtypes should be passed as valid types; wildcards should not be used.

Parameters:

request - the request to be validated

validTypes - the set of valid media types

noContentTypeIsValid - flag whether the case of a missing/empty Content-Type header is considered valid

isOneOfStrategy - flag for the strategy used in the validation (see above for details)

Returns:

true if the content type is valid, false if not
