org.apache.jetspeed.container.invoker
Class ServletPortletInvoker

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.jetspeed.container.invoker.ServletPortletInvoker

All Implemented Interfaces:

JetspeedPortletInvoker, org.apache.pluto.invoker.PortletInvoker

public class ServletPortletInvoker
extends Object
implements JetspeedPortletInvoker

ServletPortletInvoker invokes portlets in another web application, calling a portlet's render or action method via a cross context request dispatcher. In order for this class to work, a servlet must be special servlet must be infused into the web (portlet) application. This servlet knows how to delegate to portlets and package their response back into a servlet response. The context name of the servlet should be configurable. The default context name is "/container" ServletPortletInvokerFactory is the factory for creating portlet invokers that use Jetspeed Container servlet.

Sample Factory Configuration

 
 factory.invoker.servlet = org.apache.jetspeed.container.invoker.ServletPortletInvoker
 factory.invoker.servlet.pool.size = 50
 factory.invoker.servlet.mapping.name = /container

Method Detail

passivate

public void passivate()

Description copied from interface: JetspeedPortletInvoker

Passivates an invoker, freeing it back to the invoker pool. If an invoker's state is passivated, it cannot be used to invoke portlets.

Specified by:

passivate in interface JetspeedPortletInvoker

isActivated

public boolean isActivated()

Description copied from interface: JetspeedPortletInvoker

Returns true if the state of this invoke is 'activated', and false if it is 'passivated'.

Specified by:

isActivated in interface JetspeedPortletInvoker

Returns:

True if the current state of the invoker is 'activated' otherwise false.

activate

public void activate(org.apache.jetspeed.factory.PortletFactory portletFactory,
                     org.apache.pluto.om.portlet.PortletDefinition portletDefinition,
                     javax.servlet.ServletConfig servletConfig)

Description copied from interface: JetspeedPortletInvoker

Activating an invoker makes it ready to invoke portlets. If an invoker's state is not activated, it can not invoke.

Specified by:

activate in interface JetspeedPortletInvoker

Parameters:

portletFactory - The factory to get access to the portlet being invoked.

portletDefinition - The portlet's definition that is being invoked.

servletConfig - The servlet configuration of the portal.

activate

public void activate(org.apache.jetspeed.factory.PortletFactory portletFactory,
                     org.apache.pluto.om.portlet.PortletDefinition portletDefinition,
                     javax.servlet.ServletConfig servletConfig,
                     String servletMappingName)

Description copied from interface: JetspeedPortletInvoker

Activating an invoker makes it ready to invoke portlets. If an invoker's state is not activated, it can not invoke. This second signature allows for activating with an extra property.

Specified by:

activate in interface JetspeedPortletInvoker

Parameters:

portletFactory - The factory to get access to the portlet being invoked.

portletDefinition - The portlet's definition that is being invoked.

servletConfig - The servlet configuration of the portal.

servletMappingName - Implementation specific property

                   javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)
            throws javax.portlet.PortletException,
                   IOException

Specified by:

render in interface org.apache.pluto.invoker.PortletInvoker

Parameters:

request -

response -

IOException

action

public void action(javax.portlet.ActionRequest request,
                   javax.portlet.ActionResponse response)
            throws javax.portlet.PortletException,
                   IOException

Specified by:

action in interface org.apache.pluto.invoker.PortletInvoker

Throws:

javax.portlet.PortletException

IOException

load

public void load(javax.portlet.PortletRequest request,
                 javax.portlet.RenderResponse response)
          throws javax.portlet.PortletException

Specified by:

load in interface org.apache.pluto.invoker.PortletInvoker

Throws:

javax.portlet.PortletException

invoke

protected void invoke(javax.portlet.PortletRequest portletRequest,
                      javax.portlet.PortletResponse portletResponse,
                      Integer methodID)
               throws javax.portlet.PortletException,
                      IOException

Creates a servlet request dispatcher to dispatch to another web application to render the portlet. NOTE: this method requires that your container supports cross-context dispatching. Cross-context dispatching is known to work on Tomcat, Catalina, Tomcat-5.

Parameters:

portletRequest -

portletResponse -

methodID -

Throws:

javax.portlet.PortletException

IOException
