Package org.apache.wicket.request.cycle

Class RequestCycle

java.lang.Object

org.apache.wicket.request.cycle.RequestCycle

All Implemented Interfaces:

IEventSink, IMetadataContext<Object,RequestCycle>, IRequestCycle

public class RequestCycle
extends Object
implements IRequestCycle, IEventSink, IMetadataContext<Object,RequestCycle>

RequestCycle consists of two steps:

1. Resolve request handler
2. Execute request handler

During IRequestHandler execution the handler can schedule another IRequestHandler to run after it is done, or replace all IRequestHandlers on stack with another IRequestHandler.

public RequestCycle(RequestCycleContext context)

Construct.

Parameters:

context -

Method Details

request cycle instance or null if no request cycle is associated with current thread.

newUrlRenderer

protected UrlRenderer newUrlRenderer()

Returns:

a new url renderer

getOriginalResponse

public Response getOriginalResponse()

Get the original response the request was created with. Access to the original response may be necessary if the response has been temporarily replaced but the components require methods from original response (i.e. cookie methods of WebResponse, etc).

Returns:

The original response object.

getUrlRenderer

public final UrlRenderer getUrlRenderer()

Returns UrlRenderer for this RequestCycle.

Specified by:

getUrlRenderer in interface IRequestCycle

Returns:

UrlRenderer instance.

resolveRequestHandler

protected IRequestHandler resolveRequestHandler()

Resolves current request to a IRequestHandler.

Returns:

RequestHandler instance

getExceptionRetryCount

protected int getExceptionRetryCount()

Returns:

How many times will Wicket attempt to render the exception request handler before giving up.

processRequestAndDetach

public boolean processRequestAndDetach()

Convenience method that processes the request and detaches the RequestCycle.

Returns:

true if the request resolved to a Wicket request, false otherwise.

processRequest

public boolean processRequest()

Processes the request.

Returns:

true if the request resolved to a Wicket request, false otherwise.

handleException

protected IRequestHandler handleException(Exception e)

Return IRequestHandler for the given exception.

Parameters:

e - exception to handle

Returns:

RequestHandler instance

See Also:

• IRequestCycleListener.onException(RequestCycle, Exception)
• IExceptionMapper.map(Exception)

getRequest

public Request getRequest()

Specified by:

getRequest in interface IRequestCycle

Returns:

current request

setRequest

public void setRequest(Request request)

INTERNAL This method is for internal Wicket use. Do not call it yourself unless you know what you are doing.

Parameters:

request -

setMetaData

public final <T> RequestCycle setMetaData(MetaDataKey<T> key,
 T object)

Sets the metadata for this request cycle using the given key. If the metadata object is not of the correct type for the metadata key, an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. For information on creating MetaDataKeys, see MetaDataKey.

Specified by:

setMetaData in interface IMetadataContext<Object,RequestCycle>

Type Parameters:

T -

Parameters:

key - The singleton key for the metadata

object - The metadata object

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

See Also:

• MetaDataKey

getMetaData

public final <T> T getMetaData(MetaDataKey<T> key)

Gets metadata for this request cycle using the given key.

Specified by:

getMetaData in interface IMetadataContext<Object,RequestCycle>

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the metadata

Parameters:

key - The key for the data

Returns:

The metadata or null if no metadata was found for the given key

See Also:

• MetaDataKey

mapUrlFor

public Url mapUrlFor(IRequestHandler handler)

Returns URL for the request handler or null if the handler couldn't have been encoded.

Note: The produced URL is relative to the filter path. Application code most probably need URL relative to the currently used page, for this use urlFor(org.apache.wicket.request.IRequestHandler)

Parameters:

handler - the request handler for which to create a callback url

Returns:

Url instance or null

mapUrlFor

public Url mapUrlFor(ResourceReference reference,
 PageParameters params)

Returns a Url for the resource reference

Note: The produced URL is relative to the filter path. Application code most probably need URL relative to the currently used page, for this use urlFor(org.apache.wicket.request.resource.ResourceReference, org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.parameter.PageParameters)

Parameters:

reference - resource reference

params - parameters for the resource or null if none

Returns:

Url for the reference

mapUrlFor

public final <C extends Page> Url mapUrlFor(Class<C> pageClass,
 PageParameters parameters)

Returns a bookmarkable URL that references a given page class using a given set of page parameters. Since the URL which is returned contains all information necessary to instantiate and render the page, it can be stored in a user's browser as a stable bookmark.

Note: The produced URL is relative to the filter path. Application code most probably need URL relative to the currently used page, for this use urlFor(Class, org.apache.wicket.request.mapper.parameter.PageParameters)
