Constructor Detail

SOAPCallingConvention

public SOAPCallingConvention(API api)
                      throws IllegalArgumentException

Creates a new SOAPCallingConvention instance.

Parameters:

api - the API, needed for the SOAP messages, cannot be null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if api == null.

Method Detail

getSupportedMethods

protected String[] getSupportedMethods()

Description copied from class: org.xins.server.CallingConvention

Determines which HTTP methods are supported for function invocations.

Each String in the returned array must be one supported method.

The returned array must not be null, it must only contain valid HTTP method names, so they may not contain whitespace, for example. Duplicates will be ignored. HTTP method names must be in uppercase.

There must be at least one HTTP method supported for function invocations.

Note that OPTIONS must not be returned by this method, as it is not an HTTP method that can ever be used to invoke a XINS function.

HTTP OPTIONS requests are treated differently. For the path * the capabilities of the whole server are returned. For other paths, the appropriate calling convention is determined, after which the set of supported HTTP methods is returned to the called.

Returns:

the HTTP methods supported, in a String array, must not be null.

matches

protected boolean matches(HttpServletRequest httpRequest)
                   throws Exception

Checks if the specified request can be handled by this calling convention.

This method will not throw any exception.

Parameters:

httpRequest - the HTTP request to investigate, cannot be null.

Returns:

true if this calling convention is possibly able to handle this request, or false if it definitely not able to handle this request.

Throws:

Exception - if analysis of the request causes an exception; false will be assumed.

convertRequestImpl

Description copied from class: org.xins.server.CallingConvention

Converts an HTTP request to a XINS request (implementation method). This method should only be called from the XINS/Java Server Framework self. Then it is guaranteed that:

• the state is usable;
• the httpRequest argument is not null;
• the HTTP method is in the set of supported methods, as indicated by CallingConvention.getSupportedMethods().

Note that CallingConvention.getSupportedMethods(HttpServletRequest) will not have been called prior to this method call.

Parameters:

httpRequest - the HTTP request.

Returns:

the XINS request object, should not be null.

Throws:

FunctionNotSpecifiedException - if the request does not indicate the name of the function to execute.

InvalidRequestException - if the request is considerd to be invalid.

                          throws IOException

Description copied from class: org.xins.server.CallingConvention

Converts a XINS result to an HTTP response (implementation method). This method should only be called from the XINS/Java Server Framework self. Then it is guaranteed that none of the arguments is null.

Parameters:

Note that OPTIONS must not be returned by this method, as it is not an HTTP method that can ever be used to invoke a XINS function.

The set of supported methods must be a subset of the set returned by CallingConvention.getSupportedMethods().

The default implementation of this method returns the set returned by CallingConvention.getSupportedMethods().

Parameters:

Parses XML from the specified HTTP request and checks that the content type is correct.

This method uses a cache to optimize performance if either of the parseXMLRequest methods is called multiple times for the same request.

Calling this method is equivalent with calling CallingConvention.parseXMLRequest(HttpServletRequest,boolean) with the checkType argument set to true.

Parameters:

httpRequest - the HTTP request, cannot be null.

Returns:

the parsed element, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if httpRequest == null.

                                  InvalidRequestException

Parses XML from the specified HTTP request and optionally checks that the content type is correct.

Since XINS 1.4.0, this method uses a cache to optimize performance if either of the parseXMLRequest methods is called multiple times for the same request.

Parameters:

httpRequest - the HTTP request, cannot be null.

checkType - flag indicating whether this method should check that the content type of the request is text/xml.

Returns:

the parsed element, never null.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if httpRequest == null.

InvalidRequestException - if the HTTP request cannot be read or cannot be parsed correctly.

Since:

XINS 1.3.0
