Constructor Detail

IlvChartServlet

public IlvChartServlet()

Creates a Chart servlet.

Method Detail

init

public void init(javax.servlet.ServletConfig config)
          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

This method is invoked by the servlet container to indicate that the servlet is being placed into service. This implementation creates and caches the servlet configuration parameters for later use.

It is always preferable to override the init() method instead of this one. If you do override this method, you must make sure that super.init(config) is called.

Specified by:

init in interface javax.servlet.Servlet

Overrides:

init in class javax.servlet.GenericServlet

Parameters:

config - The servlet configuration.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException

createServletSupport

protected abstract IlvChartServletSupport createServletSupport()

Creates an IlvChartServletSupport instance. This method is called by the {link #getServletSupport} method when the support has not been created. This method should be overridden to provide a default implementation.

See Also:

getServletSupport()

getServletSupport

protected IlvChartServletSupport getServletSupport()

Returns the support for this servlet. If the support has not been created yet, then createServletSupport() is called first.

getConfigParameters

protected IlvServletConfigParameters getConfigParameters()

Returns the servlet configuration parameters.

prepareSession

protected void prepareSession(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
                       throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Prepares a session for the client. This method is called at every request before any other method to allow the user to prepare a session for his servlet. The actual implementation is empty, but if your servlet needs to create a session you can override this method to do it.

Parameters:

request - The current HTTP request.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - If the request for the GET could not be handled.

doGet

protected void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                     javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
              throws IOException,
                     javax.servlet.ServletException

Responds to the servlet request. This method simply calls prepareSession(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest) then IlvChartServletSupport.handleRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse). You normally do not need to override this method. If you would like to add a new request type, override the IlvChartServletSupport.handleRequest(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse) method instead.

Overrides:

doGet in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Parameters:

request - The current HTTP request.

response - The HTTP response.

Throws:

IOException - If an input or output error is detected when the servlet handles the GET request.

javax.servlet.ServletException - If the request for the GET could not be handled.

doPost

protected void doPost(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                      javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
               throws IOException,
                      javax.servlet.ServletException

Responds to the servlet request. This default implementation simply calls doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse).

Overrides:

doPost in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Parameters:

request - The current HTTP request.

response - The HTTP response.

Throws:

IOException - If an input or output error is detected when the servlet handles the POST request.

javax.servlet.ServletException - If the request for the POST could not be handled.
