All Implemented Interfaces:

Uniform

public class VirtualHost
extends Router

Router of calls from Server connectors to Restlets. The attached Restlets are typically Applications.

A virtual host is defined along three properties:

• request's Request.getHostRef(): the URI of the host that received the request. Note that the same IP address can correspond to multiple domain names and therefore receive request with different "hostRef" URIs.
• request's Request.getResourceRef(): the URI of the target resource of the request. If this reference is relative, then it is based on the "hostRef", otherwise it is maintained as received. This difference is useful for resources identified by URNs or for Web proxies or Web caches.
• response's Response.getServerInfo(): the information about the server connector receiving the requests such as it IP address and port number.

When creating a new instance, you can define Java regular expressions ( Pattern) that must match the domain name, port, scheme for references or IP address and port number for server information. The default values match everything.

Concurrency note: instances of this class or its subclasses can be invoked by several threads at the same time and therefore must be thread-safe. You should be especially careful when storing state in member variables.

Constructor Detail

VirtualHost

public VirtualHost()

Constructor. Note that usage of this constructor is not recommended as the virtual host won't have a proper context set. In general you will prefer to use the other constructor and pass it the parent component's context.

VirtualHost

public VirtualHost(Context parentContext)

Constructor. Accepts all incoming requests by default, use the set methods to restrict the matchable patterns.

Parameters:

parentContext - The parent component's context.

VirtualHost

public VirtualHost(Context parentContext,
                   java.lang.String hostDomain,
                   java.lang.String hostPort,
                   java.lang.String hostScheme,
                   java.lang.String resourceDomain,
                   java.lang.String resourcePort,
                   java.lang.String resourceScheme,
                   java.lang.String serverAddress,
                   java.lang.String serverPort)

Constructor.

Parameters:

parentContext - The parent component's context.

hostDomain - The hostRef host domain pattern to match.

hostPort - The hostRef host port pattern to match.

hostScheme - The hostRef scheme protocol pattern to match.

resourceDomain - The resourceRef host domain pattern to match.

resourcePort - The resourceRef host port pattern to match.

resourceScheme - The resourceRef scheme protocol pattern to match.

serverAddress - The listening server address pattern to match.

serverPort - The listening server port pattern to match.

attach

public TemplateRoute attach(Restlet target)

Attaches a target Restlet to this router with an empty URI pattern. A new route will be added routing to the target when any call is received. In addition to super class behavior, this method will set the context of the target if it is empty by creating a protected context via the Context.createChildContext() method.

Overrides:

attach in class Router

Parameters:

target - The target Restlet to attach.

Returns:

The created route.

attach

public TemplateRoute attach(java.lang.String uriPattern,
                            Restlet target)

Attaches a target Restlet to this router based on a given URI pattern. A new route will be added routing to the target when calls with a URI matching the pattern will be received. In addition to super class behavior, this method will set the context of the target if it is empty by creating a protected context via the Context.createChildContext() method.

Overrides:

attach in class Router

Parameters:

uriPattern - The URI pattern that must match the relative part of the resource URI.

target - The target Restlet to attach.

Returns:

The created route.

attachDefault

public TemplateRoute attachDefault(Restlet defaultTarget)

Attaches a Restlet to this router as the default target to invoke when no route matches. It actually sets a default route that scores all calls to 1.0. In addition to super class behavior, this method will set the context of the target if it is empty by creating a protected context via the Context.createChildContext() method.

Overrides:

attachDefault in class Router

Parameters:

defaultTarget - The Restlet to use as the default target.

Returns:

The created route.

checkContext

protected void checkContext(Restlet target)

Checks the context and sets it if necessary.

Parameters:

target - The target Restlet.

createFinder

public Finder createFinder(java.lang.Class<? extends ServerResource> targetClass)

Creates a new finder instance based on the "targetClass" property. In addition to super class behavior, this method will set the context of the finder by creating a protected context via the Context.createChildContext() method.

Overrides:

createFinder in class Restlet

Parameters:

targetClass - The target Resource class to attach.

Returns:

The new finder instance.
