Class ApplicationHandler

java.lang.Object
org.glassfish.jersey.server.ApplicationHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
ContainerLifecycleListener
public final class ApplicationHandler extends Object implements ContainerLifecycleListener
Jersey server-side application handler.

Container implementations use the ApplicationHandler API to process requests by invoking the handle(request) method on a configured application handler instance.

ApplicationHandler provides two implementations of config that can be injected into the application classes. The first is resource config which implements Configuration itself and is configured by the user. The resource config is not modified by this application handler so the future reloads of the application is not disrupted by providers found on a classpath. This config can be injected only as ResourceConfig or Application. The second one can be injected into the Configuration parameters / fields and contains info about all the properties / provider classes / provider instances from the resource config and also about all the providers found during processing classes registered under server properties. After the application handler is initialized both configurations are marked as read-only.

Application handler instance also acts as an aggregate ContainerLifecycleListener instance for the associated application. It aggregates all the registered container lifecycle listeners under a single, umbrella listener, represented by this application handler instance, that delegates all container lifecycle listener method calls to all the registered listeners. Jersey containers are expected to invoke the container lifecycle methods directly on the active ApplicationHandler instance. The application handler will then make sure to delegate the lifecycle listener calls further to all the container lifecycle listeners registered within the application. Additionally, invoking the ContainerLifecycleListener.onShutdown(Container) method on this application handler instance will release all the resources associated with the underlying application instance as well as close the application-specific injection manager.

    • apply

      public Future<ContainerResponse> apply(ContainerRequest requestContext)
      Invokes a request and returns the response future.
      Parameters:
      requestContext - request data.
      Returns:
      response future.

    • apply

      public Future<ContainerResponse> apply(ContainerRequest request, OutputStream outputStream)
      Invokes a request and returns the response future.
      Parameters:
      request - request data.
      outputStream - response output stream.
      Returns:
      response future.

    • handle

      public void handle(ContainerRequest request)
      The main request/response processing entry point for Jersey container implementations.

      The method invokes the request processing of the provided container request context and uses the container response writer to suspend & resume the processing as well as write the response back to the container.

      The the security context stored in the container request context is bound as an injectable instance in the scope of the processed request context. Also, any custom scope injections are initialized in the current request scope.

      Parameters:
      request - container request context of the current request.

    • getInjectionManager

      public org.glassfish.jersey.internal.inject.InjectionManager getInjectionManager()
      Returns InjectionManager relevant to current application.
      Returns:
      InjectionManager instance.
      Since:
      2.26

    • getConfiguration

      public ResourceConfig getConfiguration()
      Get the application configuration.
      Returns:
      application configuration.

    • onStartup

      Description copied from interface: ContainerLifecycleListener
      Invoked at the container start-up. This method is invoked even when application is reloaded and new instance of application has started.
      Specified by:
      onStartup in interface ContainerLifecycleListener
      Parameters:
      container - container that has been started.

    • onReload

      public void onReload(Container container)
      Description copied from interface: ContainerLifecycleListener
      Invoked when the container has been reloaded.

      Parameters:
      container - container that has been reloaded.

    • onShutdown

      public void onShutdown(Container container)
      Description copied from interface: ContainerLifecycleListener
      Invoke at the container shut-down. This method is invoked even before the application is being stopped as a part of reload.
