Jetty 12.0.6 · org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.TryPathsHandler

Inspired by nginx's try_files functionality.

This handler can be configured with a list of rewrite URI paths. The special token $path represents the current request pathInContext (the portion after the context path).

Typical example of how this handler can be configured is the following:

TryPathsHandler tryPathsHandler = new TryPathsHandler();
tryPathsHandler.setPaths("/maintenance.html", "$path", "/index.php?p=$path");

PathMappingsHandler pathMappingsHandler = new PathMappingsHandler();
tryPathsHandler.setHandler(pathMappingsHandler);

pathMappingsHandler.addMapping(new ServletPathSpec("*.php"), new PHPHandler());
pathMappingsHandler.addMapping(new ServletPathSpec("/"), new ResourceHandler());

For a request such as /context/path/to/resource.ext:

This handler rewrites the request pathInContext to /maintenance.html and forwards the request to the next handler, where it matches the / mapping, hitting the ResourceHandler that serves the file if it exists.
Otherwise, this handler rewrites the request pathInContext to /path/to/resource.ext and forwards the request to the next handler, where it matches the / mapping, hitting the ResourceHandler that serves the file if it exists.
Otherwise, this handler rewrites the request pathInContext to /index.php?p=/path/to/resource.ext and forwards the request to the next handler, where it matches the *.php mapping, hitting the PHPHandler.

The original path and query may be stored as request attributes, under the names specified by setOriginalPathAttribute(String) and setOriginalQueryAttribute(String).

public boolean handle(Request request, Response response, Callback callback) throws Exception Overrides org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler.Wrapper.handle. Implements org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.Handler.handle. Doc from org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.Handler.handle. Invoked to handle the passed HTTP request and response. The request is accepted by returning true, then handling must be concluded by completing the passed callback. The handling may be asynchronous, i.e. this method may return true and complete the given callback later, possibly from a different thread. If this method returns false, then the callback must not be invoked and any mutation on the response reversed. Exceptions thrown by this method may be subsequently handled by an error `Request.Handler`, if present, otherwise a default HTTP 500 error is generated and the callback completed while writing the error response.

public boolean handle(Request request, Response response, Callback callback) throws Exception

Overrides org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler.Wrapper.handle.

Implements org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.Handler.handle.

Doc from org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.Handler.handle.

Invoked to handle the passed HTTP request and response.

The request is accepted by returning true, then handling must be concluded by completing the passed callback. The handling may be asynchronous, i.e. this method may return true and complete the given callback later, possibly from a different thread. If this method returns false, then the callback must not be invoked and any mutation on the response reversed.

Exceptions thrown by this method may be subsequently handled by an error Request.Handler, if present, otherwise a default HTTP 500 error is generated and the callback completed while writing the error response.

The simplest implementation is:

public boolean handle(Request request, Response response, Callback callback)
{
    callback.succeeded();
    return true;
}

A HelloWorld implementation is:

public boolean handle(Request request, Response response, Callback callback)
{
    response.write(true, ByteBuffer.wrap("Hello World\n".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)), callback);
    return true;
}

Parameters

request:Request: the HTTP request to handle
response:Response: the HTTP response to handle
callback:Callback: the callback to complete when the handling is complete

Returns:boolean

True if and only if the request will be handled, a response generated and the callback eventually called. This may occur within the scope of the call to this method, or asynchronously some time later. If false is returned, then this method must not generate a response, nor complete the callback.

Annotations

@Override

Exceptions

Exception:: if there is a failure during the handling. Catchers cannot assume that the callback will be called and thus should attempt to complete the request as if a false had been returned.
