Class SequenceHandler

java.lang.Object

org.forgerock.openig.handler.SequenceHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

Handler

public class SequenceHandler
extends Object
implements Handler

Processes a request through a sequence of handlers. This allows multi-request processing such as retrieving a form, extracting form content (e.g. nonce) and submitting in a subsequent request.

Method Details

addBinding

public SequenceHandler addBinding(Handler handler,
 Expression<Boolean> postCondition)

Binds sequenced handlers with sequence processing post-conditions.

Parameters:

handler - The name of the handler heap object to dispatch to if the associated condition yields true. (Never null).

postCondition - evaluated to determine if sequence continues (null allowed as unconditional true)

Returns:

The current dispatch handler.

handle

public Promise<Response,NeverThrowsException> handle(Context context,
 Request request)

Description copied from interface: Handler

Returns a Promise representing the asynchronous Response of the given request. If any (asynchronous) processing goes wrong, the promise still contains a Response (probably from the 4xx or 5xx status code family).

A handler that doesn't hand-off the processing to another downstream handler is responsible for creating the response.

The returned Promise contains the response returned from the server as-is. This is responsibility of the handler to produce the appropriate error response (404, 500, ...) in case of processing error.

Note: As of Promise 2.0 implementation, it is not permitted to throw any runtime exception here. Doing so produce unexpected behaviour (most likely a server-side hang of the processing thread).

Specified by:

handle in interface Handler

Parameters:

context - The request context.

request - The request.

Returns:

A Promise representing the response to be returned to the caller.
