org.apache.struts.config Interface ConfigHelperInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConfigHelper

public interface ConfigHelperInterface

NOTE: THIS CLASS IS UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT. THE CURRENT CODE IS WRITTEN FOR CLARITY NOT EFFICIENCY. NOT EVERY API FUNCTION HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET. A helper object to expose the Struts shared resources, which are be stored in the application, session, or request contexts, as appropriate. An instance should be created for each request processed. The methods which return resources from the request or session contexts are not thread-safe. Provided for use by other servlets in the application so they can easily access the Struts shared resources. The resources are stored under attributes in the application, session, or request contexts. The ActionConfig methods simply return the resources from under the context and key used by the Struts ActionServlet when the resources are created.

public javax.sql.DataSource getDataSource()

getActionMessages

public ActionMessages getActionMessages()
The org.apache.struts.action.ActionFormBeans collection for this application.

getMessageResources

public MessageResources getMessageResources()
The application resources for this application.

getServletMapping

public java.lang.String getServletMapping()
The path-mapped pattern (/action/*) or extension mapped pattern ((*.do) used to determine our Action URIs in this application.

getToken

public java.lang.String getToken()
The transaction token stored in this session, if it is used.

getException

The runtime JspException that may be been thrown by a Struts tag extension, or compatible presentation extension, and placed in the request.

getMultipartRequestWrapper

public MultipartRequestWrapper getMultipartRequestWrapper()
The multipart object for this request.

getMapping

public ActionMapping getMapping()
The org.apache.struts.ActionMapping instance for this request.

isMessage

public boolean isMessage(java.lang.String key)
Return true if a message string for the specified message key is present for the user's Locale.
Parameters:
key - Message key

getActionForm

public ActionForm getActionForm()

getFormBean

public ActionFormBean getFormBean(java.lang.String name)
Return the form bean definition associated with the specified logical name, if any; otherwise return null.
Parameters:
name - Logical name of the requested form bean definition

getActionForward

public ActionForward getActionForward(java.lang.String name)
Return the forwarding associated with the specified logical name, if any; otherwise return null.
Parameters:

getActionMapping

public ActionMapping getActionMapping(java.lang.String path)
Return the mapping associated with the specified request path, if any; otherwise return null.
Parameters:
path - Request path for which a mapping is requested

getActionMappingName

public java.lang.String getActionMappingName(java.lang.String action)
Return the form action converted into an action mapping path. The value of the action property is manipulated as follows in computing the name of the requested mapping:
  • Any filename extension is removed (on the theory that extension mapping is being used to select the controller servlet).
  • If the resulting value does not start with a slash, then a slash is prepended.
:FIXME: Bad assumption =:o)
