Class EntityExtractFilter

java.lang.Object

org.forgerock.openig.filter.EntityExtractFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public final class EntityExtractFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Extracts regular expression patterns from a message entity. Extraction occurs either before the request is handled if messageType is MessageType.REQUEST, or after the request is handled if it is MessageType.RESPONSE. Each pattern can have an associated template, which is applied to its match result.

The extraction results are contained in a Map object, whose location is specified by the target expression. For a given matched pattern, the value stored in the map is either the result of applying its associated pattern template (if specified) or the match result itself otherwise.

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.
