Interface through which a Servlet or Filter may be further configured.

A Registration object whose getClassName method returns null is considered preliminary. Servlets and Filters whose implementation class is container implementation specific may be declared without any servlet-class or filter-class elements, respectively, and will be represented as preliminary Registration objects. Preliminary registrations must be completed by calling one of the addServlet or addFilter methods on ServletContext, and passing in the Servlet or Filter name (obtained via getName) along with the supporting Servlet or Filter implementation class name, Class object, or instance, respectively. In most cases, preliminary registrations will be completed by an appropriate, container-provided ServletContainerInitializer.

Parameters

name:String: the name of the initialization parameter whose value is requested

Returns:String

the value of the initialization parameter with the given name, or null if no initialization parameter with the given name exists

getInitParameters	back to summary
public Map<String, String> getInitParameters() Gets an immutable (and possibly empty) Map containing the currently available initialization parameters that will be used to initialize the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration object. Returns:Map<String, String> Map containing the currently available initialization parameters that will be used to initialize the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration object

back to summary

public Map<String, String> getInitParameters()

Gets an immutable (and possibly empty) Map containing the currently available initialization parameters that will be used to initialize the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration object.

Returns:Map<String, String>: Map containing the currently available initialization parameters that will be used to initialize the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration object

getName	back to summary
public String getName() Gets the name of the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration. Returns:String the name of the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration

getName

back to summary

public String getName()

Gets the name of the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration.

Returns:String: the name of the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration

setInitParameter back to summary

setInitParameter	back to summary
public boolean setInitParameter(String name, String value) Sets the initialization parameter with the given name and value on the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration. Parameters name:String the initialization parameter name value:String the initialization parameter value Returns:boolean true if the update was successful, i.e., an initialization parameter with the given name did not already exist for the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration, and false otherwise Exceptions IllegalStateException: if the ServletContext from which this Registration was obtained has already been initialized IllegalArgumentException: if the given name or value is `null`

public boolean setInitParameter(String name, String value)

Sets the initialization parameter with the given name and value on the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration.

Parameters

name:String: the initialization parameter name
value:String: the initialization parameter value

Returns:boolean

true if the update was successful, i.e., an initialization parameter with the given name did not already exist for the Servlet or Filter represented by this Registration, and false otherwise

Exceptions

IllegalStateException:: if the ServletContext from which this Registration was obtained has already been initialized
IllegalArgumentException:: if the given name or value is null

setInitParameters back to summary

setInitParameters	back to summary
public Set<String> setInitParameters(Map<String, String> initParameters) Sets the given initialization parameters on the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration. The given map of initialization parameters is processed by-value, i.e., for each initialization parameter contained in the map, this method calls `setInitParameter(String, String)`. If that method would return false for any of the initialization parameters in the given map, no updates will be performed, and false will be returned. Likewise, if the map contains an initialization parameter with a `null` name or value, no updates will be performed, and an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown. The returned set is not backed by the `Registration` object, so changes in the returned set are not reflected in the `Registration` object, and vice-versa. Parameters initParameters:Map<String, String> the initialization parameters Returns:Set<String> the (possibly empty) Set of initialization parameter names that are in conflict Exceptions IllegalStateException: if the ServletContext from which this Registration was obtained has already been initialized IllegalArgumentException: if the given map contains an initialization parameter with a `null` name or value

public Set<String> setInitParameters(Map<String, String> initParameters)

Sets the given initialization parameters on the Servlet or Filter that is represented by this Registration.

The given map of initialization parameters is processed by-value, i.e., for each initialization parameter contained in the map, this method calls setInitParameter(String, String). If that method would return false for any of the initialization parameters in the given map, no updates will be performed, and false will be returned. Likewise, if the map contains an initialization parameter with a null name or value, no updates will be performed, and an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.

The returned set is not backed by the Registration object, so changes in the returned set are not reflected in the Registration object, and vice-versa.

Parameters

initParameters:Map<String, String>: the initialization parameters

Returns:Set<String>

the (possibly empty) Set of initialization parameter names that are in conflict

Exceptions

IllegalStateException:: if the ServletContext from which this Registration was obtained has already been initialized
IllegalArgumentException:: if the given map contains an initialization parameter with a null name or value
