Class ServletContextPathHolder

com.helger.servlet.ServletContextPathHolder

@NotThreadSafe
public final class ServletContextPathHolder
extends Object

Method Detail

setSilentMode

public static boolean setSilentMode(boolean bSilentMode)

isSilentMode

public static boolean isSilentMode()

setServletContextPath

public static void setServletContextPath(@Nonnull
                                         String sServletContextPath)

hasServletContextPath

public static boolean hasServletContextPath()

Returns:

true if a servlet context path was set.

Since:

8.7.1

See Also:

setServletContextPath(String)

getServletContextPath

@Nullable
public static String getServletContextPath()

Returns:

The default servlet context path. May be null.

Since:

8.7.1

See Also:

setServletContextPath(String), getContextPath()

setCustomContextPath

public static void setCustomContextPath(@Nonnull
                                        String sCustomContextPath)

Manually change the context path to be used. Normally there is no need to call the method, because the context path is automatically determined from the ServletContext or from the underlying request. This method is only needed, if a web application is proxied by e.g. an Apache httpd and the context path between httpd and Java web application server is different!

Parameters:

sCustomContextPath - The context path of the web application, or "" for the default (root) context. May not be null.

hasCustomContextPath

public static boolean hasCustomContextPath()

Returns:

true if a custom context path was set.

See Also:

setCustomContextPath(String)

getCustomContextPath

@Nullable
public static String getCustomContextPath()

Returns:

The custom context path. May be null.

Since:

8.7.1

See Also:

setCustomContextPath(String), getContextPath()

getContextPath

@Nonnull
public static String getContextPath()

Returns the context path of the web application.

The context path is the portion of the request URI that is used to select the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character. For servlets in the default (root) context, this method returns "".

It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases the context path will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by this method. The context path returned by this method should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.

Returns:

The context path of the web application, or "" for the default (root) context

clearContextPath

public static void clearContextPath()

Clears both servlet context and custom context path.
