Class ConfigContexts


  • public class ConfigContexts
    extends Object
    Determines the configuration context of a request. The configuration context controls which version of a resource is desired. The context may be empty, in which case the request is not made for a particular configuration and it's up to the server to determine which version of the resource to return

    • Method Detail

      • of

        public static ConfigContext of​(HttpServletRequest request,
                                       HttpServletResponse response)
        Creates a context as specified in the provided servlet request.

        The configuration can be set in one of two ways:

        • Using an oslc_config.context query parameter.
          The configuration URI is expected to be angle bracket-delimited (e.g. <http://myServer.myConfiguration>)
           
        • Using a Configuration-Context header.
          In this case this method adds a Vary=Configuration-Context header in the servlet response, so that the client does not cache the request based only on the request URL.
        Parameters:
        request - the servlet request.
        response - the servlet response.
        Returns:
        the configuration context wrapping the configuration specified in the request, or an empty context if not configuration is set.
        Throws:
        WebApplicationException - if the configuration set is not a valid URI or if both oslc_config.context query parameter and Configuration-Context header are referencing different configurations.
