Method Summary

boolean	shouldAbortBufferingForHttpStatusCode(int statusCode) Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular HTTP status code.
boolean	shouldBufferForContentType(String contentType, String mimeType, String encoding) Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular content-type.
boolean	shouldBufferForRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular request.

Method Detail

shouldBufferForContentType

boolean shouldBufferForContentType(String contentType,
                                   String mimeType,
                                   String encoding)

Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular content-type. Use this to ensure that only content-types you care about are intercepted.

Parameters:

contentType - e.g. "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"

mimeType - e.g "text/html"

encoding - e.g. "iso-8859-1" (may be null)

shouldAbortBufferingForHttpStatusCode

boolean shouldAbortBufferingForHttpStatusCode(int statusCode)

Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular HTTP status code. For example, some applications may choose to rewrite content of 404 error pages.

Parameters:

statusCode - e.g. 200, 302, 404, 500, etc. See constants in HttpServletResponse.

shouldBufferForRequest

boolean shouldBufferForRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Determine whether buffering should be used for a particular request. For example, elements like path, attributes, cookies, etc may influence this.
