Method Detail

getFullServletPath

public static java.lang.String getFullServletPath(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest httpRequest)

Returns the full servlet path: getRequestURI() - getPathInfo() . In the Servlet 2.1 API, this is just getServletPath() , but in Servlet 2.2, it's getContextPath() + getServletPath(), hence the need for a utility method that works in both versions.

setNoCacheHeaders

public static void setNoCacheHeaders(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Sets headers on a servlet reponse to completely block caching for even the most poorly written browsers.

determineLocale

public static java.util.Locale determineLocale(javax.servlet.ServletRequest request)

Returns the locale to be used for a request, based on Accept-Language and Accept-Charset HTTP headers. Returns null if the locale cannot be determined.

validateEncoding

public static void validateEncoding(java.lang.String encoding)
                             throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Throws an UnsupportedEncodingException if the provided encoding is not supported.

Parameters:

encoding - the name of a character encoding

decodeRequestParameter

public static final java.lang.String decodeRequestParameter(java.lang.String string,
                                                            java.lang.String encoding,
                                                            byte[] buffer)
                                                     throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Given a parameter string and the name of a character encoding, fixes the string. The Servlet API builds Strings for all submitted data as if they were ISO-8859-1 encoded; this function undoes the damage. Clients should pass in the same encoding that they used for generating the page that the submission comes from.

Parameters:

string - the string

encoding - the name of a character encoding

buffer - an optional byte buffer, for reuse; pass null if you're not calling this function repeatedly
