PortletContentGenerator

public PortletContentGenerator()

Method Detail

setRequireSession

public final void setRequireSession(boolean requireSession)

Set whether a session should be required to handle requests.

isRequireSession

public final boolean isRequireSession()

Return whether a session is required to handle requests.

setCacheSeconds

public final void setCacheSeconds(int seconds)

Cache content for the given number of seconds. Default is -1, indicating no override of portlet content caching.

Only if this is set to 0 (no cache) or a positive value (cache for this many seconds) will this class override the portlet settings.

The cache setting can be overwritten by subclasses, before content is generated.

getCacheSeconds

public final int getCacheSeconds()

Return the number of seconds that content is cached.

check

protected final void check(PortletRequest request,
                           PortletResponse response)
                    throws PortletException

Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the number of cache seconds configured for this generator (if it is a render request/response).

Parameters:

request - current portlet request

response - current portlet response

Throws:

PortletException - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

checkAndPrepare

protected final void checkAndPrepare(PortletRequest request,
                                     MimeResponse response)
                              throws PortletException

Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the number of cache seconds configured for this generator (if it is a render request/response).

Parameters:

request - current portlet request

response - current portlet response

Throws:

PortletException - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

checkAndPrepare

protected final void checkAndPrepare(PortletRequest request,
                                     MimeResponse response,
                                     int cacheSeconds)
                              throws PortletException

Check and prepare the given request and response according to the settings of this generator. Checks for a required session, and applies the given number of cache seconds (if it is a render request/response).

Parameters:

request - current portlet request

response - current portlet response

cacheSeconds - positive number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for, 0 to prevent caching

Throws:

PortletException - if the request cannot be handled because a check failed

preventCaching

protected final void preventCaching(MimeResponse response)

Prevent the render response from being cached.

cacheForSeconds

protected final void cacheForSeconds(MimeResponse response,
                                     int seconds)

Set portlet response to allow caching for the given number of seconds.

Parameters:

response - current portlet render response

seconds - number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for

applyCacheSeconds

protected final void applyCacheSeconds(MimeResponse response,
                                       int seconds)

Apply the given cache seconds to the render response

Parameters:

response - current portlet render response

seconds - positive number of seconds into the future that the response should be cacheable for, 0 to prevent caching
