Package org.forgerock.openig.filter

Class CookieFilter

java.lang.Object

org.forgerock.openig.filter.CookieFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public final class CookieFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Suppresses, relays and manages cookies. The names of filtered cookies are stored in one of three action set variables: suppressed, relayed and managed. If a cookie is not found in any of the action sets, then a default action is selected.

The default action is controlled by setting the defaultAction field. The default action at initialization is to manage all cookies. In the event a cookie appears in more than one action set, then it will be selected in order of precedence: managed, suppressed, relayed.

Managed cookies are intercepted by the cookie filter itself and stored in the request Session object. The default policy is to accept all incoming cookies, but can be changed to others as appropriate.

Important note: CookieFilter is not compatible with stateless JWT-based sessions.

Method Details

filter

public Promise<Response,NeverThrowsException> filter(Context context,
 Request request,
 Handler next)

Description copied from interface: Filter

Filters the request and/or response of an exchange. To pass the request to the next filter or handler in the chain, the filter calls next.handle(context, request).

This method may elect not to pass the request to the next filter or handler, and instead handle the request itself. It can achieve this by merely avoiding a call to next.handle(context, request) and creating its own response object. The filter is also at liberty to replace a response with another of its own by intercepting the response returned by the next handler.

Specified by:

filter in interface Filter

Parameters:

context - The request context.

request - The request.

next - The next filter or handler in the chain to handle the request.

Returns:

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