public class ErrorFilter
extends ResourceFilter

The ErroFilter class allows you to customize and enhance error messages. This filter will catch all errors on their way back to the client, and use internal requests to provide a nice customizable error message.

You can use any resources (including server side includes, content negotiated resources, etc) to deliver error messages.

Field Summary
`protected static int` | `ATTR_BASEURL` Attribute index - The base URL for error messages.
`protected static int` | `ATTR_EXTENSION` Attribute index - The common extension for error messages (can be null).
`protected static java.lang.String` | `ERRED` A request state, to avoid looping on errors about errors.

Method Summary
`ReplyInterface` | `exceptionFilter(RequestInterface request, ProtocolException ex, FilterInterface[] filters, int idx)` We do catch exceptions, just in case we can customize the error.
`java.lang.String` | `getBaseURL()` Get the base URL describing the error directory.
`java.lang.String` | `getErrorResource(int status)` Compute the path for the given status code.
`java.lang.String` | `getExtension()` Get the value of the extension attribute.
`ReplyInterface` | `ingoingFilter(RequestInterface request)` This one just makes sure the outgoing filter gets called.
`void` | `initialize(java.lang.Object[] values)`
`ReplyInterface` | `outgoingFilter(RequestInterface req, ReplyInterface rep)` Re-compute error message.

Field Detail

### ERRED

    protected static final java.lang.String ERRED

  A request state, to avoid looping on errors about errors.

### ATTR_BASEURL

    protected static int ATTR_BASEURL

  Attribute index - The base URL for error messages.

### ATTR_EXTENSION

    protected static int ATTR_EXTENSION

  Attribute index - The common extension for error messages (can be null).

Constructor Detail

### ErrorFilter

    public ErrorFilter()

Method Detail

### getBaseURL

    public java.lang.String getBaseURL()

  Get the base URL describing the error directory.
  Returns:
    The base URL.

### getExtension

    public java.lang.String getExtension()

  Get the value of the extension attribute.
  Returns:
    A String, for the common extension to error messages, or null if undefined.

### getErrorResource

    public java.lang.String getErrorResource(int status)

  Compute the path for the given status code.
  Returns:
    A path leading to the customizable error message for the given status code.

### ingoingFilter

    public ReplyInterface ingoingFilter(RequestInterface request)
                                 throws ProtocolException

  This one just makes sure the outgoing filter gets called.
  Parameters:
    `request` - The original request to be handled.
  Throws:
    ProtocolException - If processing should be interrupted, because an abnormal situation occured.
  Overrides:
    ingoingFilter in class ResourceFilter

### outgoingFilter

    public ReplyInterface outgoingFilter(RequestInterface req,
                                         ReplyInterface rep)
                                  throws ProtocolException

  Re-compute error message. This filter uses internal redirection to get the error message body. In case of failure, the original reply is returned, otherwise, a new reply is gotten from the appropriate error resource, and is returned.
  Parameters:
    `request` - The request that has been handled.
    `reply` - The reply, as emited by the original resource.
  Returns:
    A new error reply, having the same status code, and authentication information then the given reply, but enhanced with the error resource body.
  Throws:
    ProtocolException - If processing should be interrupted, because an abnormal situation occured.
  Overrides:
    outgoingFilter in class ResourceFilter

### exceptionFilter

    public ReplyInterface exceptionFilter(RequestInterface request,
                                          ProtocolException ex,
                                          FilterInterface[] filters,
                                          int idx)

  We do catch exceptions, just in case we can customize the error.
  Parameters:
    `request` - The request tha triggered the exception.
    `ex` - The exception.
    `filters` - Remaining filters to be called.
    `idx` - Current filter index within above array.
  Overrides:
    exceptionFilter in class ResourceFilter

### initialize

    public void initialize(java.lang.Object[] values)

  Overrides:
    initialize in class FramedResource
