Class HttpServletRequestFilterable

java.lang.Object

javax.servlet.ServletRequestWrapper

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper

org.sitemesh.webapp.contentfilter.HttpServletRequestFilterable

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletRequest

public class HttpServletRequestFilterable
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequestWrapper

This special HttpServletRequestWrapper is used to allow filtering of the HTTP headers by adding them to an exclusion list. The initial need for this wrapper came up when the decorator is modified and the client/browser sends over the If-Modified-Since header to the server. The result is the servlet container sends back a 304 and changes to the decorator are never rendered until the requested resource is modified. TODO: Implement any method that may be used to obtain the headers which are filtered. i.e., HttpServletRequest#getHeaderNames()
