Constructor Detail

### ApplicationContextFacade

    public ApplicationContextFacade(ApplicationContext context)

  Construct a new instance of this class, associated with the specified Context instance.

  Parameters:
    `context` - The associated Context instance

Method Detail

### getContext

    public javax.servlet.ServletContext getContext(java.lang.String uripath)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a `ServletContext` object that corresponds to a specified URL on the server.

  This method allows servlets to gain access to the context for various parts of the server, and as needed obtain `RequestDispatcher` objects from the context. The given path must be begin with "/", is interpreted relative to the server's document root and is matched against the context roots of other web applications hosted on this container.

  In a security conscious environment, the servlet container may return `null` for a given URL.

  Specified by:
    `getContext` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `uripath` - a `String` specifying the context path of another web application in the container.
  Returns:
    the `ServletContext` object that corresponds to the named URL, or null if either none exists or the container wishes to restrict this access.
  See Also:
    `RequestDispatcher`

### getMajorVersion

    public int getMajorVersion()

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns the major version of the Java Servlet API that this servlet container supports. All implementations that comply with Version 2.4 must have this method return the integer 2.

  Specified by:
    `getMajorVersion` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns:
    2

### getMinorVersion

    public int getMinorVersion()

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns the minor version of the Servlet API that this servlet container supports. All implementations that comply with Version 2.5 must have this method return the integer 5.

  Specified by:
    `getMinorVersion` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns:
    5

### getMimeType

    public java.lang.String getMimeType(java.lang.String file)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns the MIME type of the specified file, or `null` if the MIME type is not known. The MIME type is determined by the configuration of the servlet container, and may be specified in a web application deployment descriptor. Common MIME types are `"text/html"` and `"image/gif"`.

  Specified by:
    `getMimeType` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `file` - a `String` specifying the name of a file
  Returns:
    a `String` specifying the file's MIME type

### getResourcePaths

    public java.util.Set getResourcePaths(java.lang.String path)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a directory-like listing of all the paths to resources within the web application whose longest sub-path matches the supplied path argument. Paths indicating subdirectory paths end with a '/'. The returned paths are all relative to the root of the web application and have a leading '/'. For example, for a web application containing
  /welcome.html
  /catalog/index.html
  /catalog/products.html
  /catalog/offers/books.html
  /catalog/offers/music.html
  /customer/login.jsp
  /WEB-INF/web.xml
  /WEB-INF/classes/com.acme.OrderServlet.class,
  getResourcePaths("/") returns {"/welcome.html", "/catalog/", "/customer/", "/WEB-INF/"}
  getResourcePaths("/catalog/") returns {"/catalog/index.html", "/catalog/products.html", "/catalog/offers/"}.

  Specified by:
    `getResourcePaths` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `path` - the partial path used to match the resources, which must start with a /
  Returns:
    a Set containing the directory listing, or null if there are no resources in the web application whose path begins with the supplied path.

### getResource

    public java.net.URL getResource(java.lang.String path)
                             throws java.net.MalformedURLException

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a URL to the resource that is mapped to a specified path. The path must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.

  This method allows the servlet container to make a resource available to servlets from any source. Resources can be located on a local or remote file system, in a database, or in a `.war` file.

  The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and `URLConnection` objects that are necessary to access the resource.

  This method returns `null` if no resource is mapped to the pathname.

  Some containers may allow writing to the URL returned by this method using the methods of the URL class.

  The resource content is returned directly, so be aware that requesting a `.jsp` page returns the JSP source code. Use a `RequestDispatcher` instead to include results of an execution.

  This method has a different purpose than `java.lang.Class.getResource`, which looks up resources based on a class loader. This method does not use class loaders.

  Specified by:
    `getResource` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `path` - a `String` specifying the path to the resource
  Returns:
    the resource located at the named path, or `null` if there is no resource at that path
  Throws:
    `java.net.MalformedURLException` - if the pathname is not given in the correct form

### getResourceAsStream

    public java.io.InputStream getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String path)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns the resource located at the named path as an `InputStream` object.

  The data in the `InputStream` can be of any type or length. The path must be specified according to the rules given in `getResource`. This method returns `null` if no resource exists at the specified path.

  Meta-information such as content length and content type that is available via `getResource` method is lost when using this method.

  The servlet container must implement the URL handlers and `URLConnection` objects necessary to access the resource.

  This method is different from `java.lang.Class.getResourceAsStream`, which uses a class loader. This method allows servlet containers to make a resource available to a servlet from any location, without using a class loader.

  Specified by:
    `getResourceAsStream` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `path` - a `String` specifying the path to the resource
  Returns:
    the `InputStream` returned to the servlet, or `null` if no resource exists at the specified path

### getRequestDispatcher

    public javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher getRequestDispatcher(java.lang.String path)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the resource located at the given path. A `RequestDispatcher` object can be used to forward a request to the resource or to include the resource in a response. The resource can be dynamic or static.

  The pathname must begin with a "/" and is interpreted as relative to the current context root. Use `getContext` to obtain a `RequestDispatcher` for resources in foreign contexts. This method returns `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`.

  Specified by:
    `getRequestDispatcher` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `path` - a `String` specifying the pathname to the resource
  Returns:
    a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the resource at the specified path, or `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`
  See Also:
    `RequestDispatcher`, `ServletContext.getContext(java.lang.String)`

### getNamedDispatcher

    public javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher getNamedDispatcher(java.lang.String name)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet.

  Servlets (and JSP pages also) may be given names via server administration or via a web application deployment descriptor. A servlet instance can determine its name using `ServletConfig.getServletName()`.

  This method returns `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher` for any reason.

  Specified by:
    `getNamedDispatcher` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` specifying the name of a servlet to wrap
  Returns:
    a `RequestDispatcher` object that acts as a wrapper for the named servlet, or `null` if the `ServletContext` cannot return a `RequestDispatcher`
  See Also:
    `RequestDispatcher`, `ServletContext.getContext(java.lang.String)`, `ServletConfig.getServletName()`

### getServlet

    public javax.servlet.Servlet getServlet(java.lang.String name)
                                     throws javax.servlet.ServletException

  Specified by:
    `getServlet` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Throws:
    `javax.servlet.ServletException`

  Specified by:
    `log` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `message` - a `String` that describes the error or exception
    `throwable` - the `Throwable` error or exception

### getRealPath

    public java.lang.String getRealPath(java.lang.String path)

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a `String` containing the real path for a given virtual path. For example, the path "/index.html" returns the absolute file path on the server's filesystem would be served by a request for "http://host/contextPath/index.html", where contextPath is the context path of this ServletContext..

  The real path returned will be in a form appropriate to the computer and operating system on which the servlet container is running, including the proper path separators. This method returns `null` if the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the content is being made available from a `.war` archive).

  Specified by:
    `getRealPath` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `path` - a `String` specifying a virtual path
  Returns:
    a `String` specifying the real path, or null if the translation cannot be performed

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Returns a `String` containing the value of the named context-wide initialization parameter, or `null` if the parameter does not exist.

  This method can make available configuration information useful to an entire "web application". For example, it can provide a webmaster's email address or the name of a system that holds critical data.

  Specified by:
    `getInitParameter` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` containing the name of the parameter whose value is requested

An attribute allows a servlet container to give the servlet additional information not already provided by this interface. See your server documentation for information about its attributes. A list of supported attributes can be retrieved using `getAttributeNames`.

  The attribute is returned as a `java.lang.Object` or some subclass. Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Servlet API specification reserves names matching `java.*`, `javax.*`, and `sun.*`.

  Specified by:
    `getAttribute` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
  Returns:
    an `Object` containing the value of the attribute, or `null` if no attribute exists matching the given name

  Description copied from interface: `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Binds an object to a given attribute name in this servlet context. If the name specified is already used for an attribute, this method will replace the attribute with the new to the new attribute.

  If listeners are configured on the `ServletContext` the container notifies them accordingly.

  If a null value is passed, the effect is the same as calling `removeAttribute()`.

  Attribute names should follow the same convention as package names. The Java Servlet API specification reserves names matching `java.*`, `javax.*`, and `sun.*`.

  Specified by:
    `setAttribute` in interface `javax.servlet.ServletContext`
  Parameters:
    `name` - a `String` specifying the name of the attribute
