Class RoutingContext


  • public class RoutingContext
    extends Object
    Represents the context for the handling of a request in Vert.x-Web.

    A new instance is created for each HTTP request that is received in the Handler of the router.

    The same instance is passed to any matching request or failure handlers during the routing of the request or failure.

    The context provides access to the and and allows you to maintain arbitrary data that lives for the lifetime of the context. Contexts are discarded once they have been routed to the handler for the request.

    The context also provides access to the Session, cookies and body for the request, given the correct handlers in the application.

    If you use the internal error handler

    NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the original non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
      • next

        public void next()
        Tell the router to route this context to the next matching route (if any). This method, if called, does not need to be called during the execution of the handler, it can be called some arbitrary time later, if required.

        If next is not called for a handler then the handler should make sure it ends the response or no response will be sent.

      • fail

        public void fail​(int statusCode)
        Fail the context with the specified status code.

        This will cause the router to route the context to any matching failure handlers for the request. If no failure handlers match It will trigger the error handler matching the status code. You can define such error handler with Router.errorHandler(int, io.vertx.core.Handler<io.vertx.reactivex.ext.web.RoutingContext>). If no error handler is not defined, It will send a default failure response with provided status code.

        Parameters:
        statusCode - the HTTP status code
      • fail

        public void fail​(Throwable throwable)
        Fail the context with the specified throwable and 500 status code.

        This will cause the router to route the context to any matching failure handlers for the request. If no failure handlers match It will trigger the error handler matching the status code. You can define such error handler with Router.errorHandler(int, io.vertx.core.Handler<io.vertx.reactivex.ext.web.RoutingContext>). If no error handler is not defined, It will send a default failure response with 500 status code.

        Parameters:
        throwable - a throwable representing the failure
      • fail

        public void fail​(int statusCode,
                         Throwable throwable)
        Fail the context with the specified throwable and the specified the status code.

        This will cause the router to route the context to any matching failure handlers for the request. If no failure handlers match It will trigger the error handler matching the status code. You can define such error handler with Router.errorHandler(int, io.vertx.core.Handler<io.vertx.reactivex.ext.web.RoutingContext>). If no error handler is not defined, It will send a default failure response with provided status code.

        Parameters:
        statusCode - the HTTP status code
        throwable - a throwable representing the failure

        key - the key for the data
        defaultValue - when the underlying data doesn't contain the key this will be the return value.
        Returns:
        the data
      • remove

        public <T> T remove​(String key)

      • mountPoint

        public String mountPoint()
        Returns:
        the mount point for this router. It will be null for a top level router. For a sub-router it will be the path at which the subrouter was mounted.
      • currentRoute

        public Route currentRoute()
        Returns:
        the current route this context is being routed through.
      • normalizedPath

        public String normalizedPath()
        Return the normalized path for the request.

        The normalized path is where the URI path has been decoded, i.e. any unicode or other illegal URL characters that were encoded in the original URL with `%` will be returned to their original form. E.g. `%20` will revert to a space. Also `+` reverts to a space in a query.

        The normalized path will also not contain any `..` character sequences to prevent resources being accessed outside of the permitted area.

        It's recommended to always use the normalized path as opposed to if accessing server resources requested by a client.

        Returns:
        the normalized path

        Parameters:
        handler - the handler
        Returns:
        the id of the handler. This can be used if you later want to remove the handler.

      • addEndHandler

        public int addEndHandler​(Handler<AsyncResult<Void>> handler)

        Parameters:
        handler - the handler that will be called with either a success or failure result.
        Returns:
        the id of the handler. This can be used if you later want to remove the handler.

        Returns the languages for the current request. The languages are determined from the Accept-Language header and sorted on quality. When 2 or more entries have the same quality then the order used to return the best match is based on the lowest index on the original list. For example if a user has en-US and en-GB with same quality and this order the best match will be en-US because it was declared as first entry by the client.
        Returns:
        The best matched language for the request
