Class RequestDispatcherOptions

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>

java.util.HashMap<String,String>

org.apache.sling.api.request.RequestDispatcherOptions

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map<String,String>

public class RequestDispatcherOptions
extends HashMap<String,String>

RequestDispatcherOptions are used in the SlingHttpServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(org.apache.sling.api.resource.Resource, RequestDispatcherOptions) method, to give more control on some aspects of the include/forward mechanism. Typical use cases include:

• Forcing a resource type, to render a Resource in a specific way, like for example render myself in a suitable way for a navigation box.
• Adding selectors when including a Resource, like for example add a "teaser" selector to the request that I'm including here.

This class currently only inherits from Map, and defines some constants for well-known options.

Constructor Detail

RequestDispatcherOptions

public RequestDispatcherOptions()

Creates an instance with no options set.

RequestDispatcherOptions

public RequestDispatcherOptions(String options)

Creates a new instances setting options by parsing the given options string as follows:

• If the string is empty or null no options are set.
• If the string neither contains a comma nor an equals sign, the string is assumed to be a resource type. Hence a RequestDispatcherOptions object is created with the OPT_FORCE_RESOURCE_TYPE field set to the string.
• Otherwise the string is assumed to be a comma separated list of name value pairs where the equals sign is used to separate the name from its value. Hence a RequestDispatcherOptions object is created from the name value pair list.

Parameters:

options - The options to set.

Method Detail
