public interface Valve
A Valve is a request processing component associated with a particular Container. A series of Valves are generally associated with each other into a Pipeline. The detailed contract for a Valve is included in the description of the
HISTORICAL NOTE: The "Valve" name was assigned to this concept because a valve is what you use in a real world pipeline to control and/or modify flows through it.invoke()

Method Detail
-
getInfo
String getInfo()
Return descriptive information about this Valve implementation.
-
getNext
Valve getNext()
Return the next Valve in the pipeline containing this Valve, if any.
-
setNext
void setNext(Valve valve)
Set the next Valve in the pipeline containing this Valve.- Parameters:
valve
- The new next valve, ornull
if none
-
backgroundProcess
void backgroundProcess()
Execute a periodic task, such as reloading, etc. This method will be invoked inside the classloading context of this container. Unexpected throwables will be caught and logged.
-
invoke
void invoke(Request request, Response response) throws IOException, jakarta.servlet.ServletException
Perform request processing as required by this Valve.
An individual Valve MAY perform the following actions, in the specified order:
- Examine and/or modify the properties of the specified Request and Response.
- Examine the properties of the specified Request, completely generate the corresponding Response, and return control to the caller.
- Examine the properties of the specified Request and Response, wrap either or both of these objects to supplement their functionality, and pass them on.
- If the corresponding Response was not generated (and control was not returned, call the next Valve in the
pipeline (if there is one) by executing
context.invokeNext()
. - Examine, but not modify, the properties of the resulting Response (which was created by a subsequently invoked Valve or Container).
A Valve MUST NOT do any of the following things:
- Change request properties that have already been used to direct the flow of processing control for this request (for instance, trying to change the virtual host to which a Request should be sent from a pipeline attached to a Host or Context in the standard implementation).
- Create a completed Response AND pass this Request and Response on to the next Valve in the pipeline.
- Consume bytes from the input stream associated with the Request, unless it is completely generating the response, or wrapping the request before passing it on.
- Modify the HTTP headers included with the Response after the
invokeNext()
method has returned. - Perform any actions on the output stream associated with the specified Response after the
invokeNext()
method has returned.
- Parameters:
request
- The servlet request to be processedresponse
- The servlet response to be created- Throws:
IOException
- if an input/output error occurs, or is thrown by a subsequently invoked Valve, Filter, or Servletjakarta.servlet.ServletException
- if a servlet error occurs, or is thrown by a subsequently invoked Valve, Filter, or Servlet
-
event
void event(Request request, Response response, CometEvent event) throws IOException, jakarta.servlet.ServletException
Process a Comet event.- Parameters:
request
- The servlet request to be processedresponse
- The servlet response to be created- Throws:
IOException
- if an input/output error occurs, or is thrown by a subsequently invoked Valve, Filter, or Servletjakarta.servlet.ServletException
- if a servlet error occurs, or is thrown by a subsequently invoked Valve, Filter, or Servlet
