Method Detail

init

public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig)
          throws ServletException

Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being placed into service. The servlet container calls the init method exactly once after instantiating the filter. The init method must complete successfully before the filter is asked to do any filtering work.

Specified by:

init in interface Filter

Parameters:

filterConfig - filter config

Throws:

ServletException

doFilter

public void doFilter(ServletRequest srequest,
                     ServletResponse sresponse,
                     FilterChain chain)
              throws java.io.IOException,
                     ServletException

The doFilter method of the Filter is called by the container each time a request/response pair is passed through the chain due to a client request for a resource at the end of the chain. The FilterChain passed in to this method allows the Filter to pass on the request and response to the next entity in the chain.

Specified by:

doFilter in interface Filter

Parameters:

chain - the filter chain to in the request processing

Throws:

IOException, - ServletException - First check if this HTTP method permits caching (using helper) if not, call the downstream filter and return. - Otherwise, get the key based on the request (using helper). - Check if we have a response entry in the cache already. - If there is entry and is valid, write out the response from that entry. - create a CachingResponse and CachingOutputStream wrappers and call the downstream filter

destroy

public void destroy()

Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being taken out of service. This method is only called once all threads within the filter's doFilter method have exited or after a timeout period has passed. After the web container calls this method, it will not call the doFilter method again on this instance of the filter.
