Class TypedTopiaTransactionFilter<PersistenceContext extends org.nuiton.topia.persistence.TopiaPersistenceContext>

java.lang.Object

org.nuiton.web.filter.TypedTopiaTransactionFilter<PersistenceContext>

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.servlet.Filter

Direct Known Subclasses:

TopiaTransactionFilter

public abstract class TypedTopiaTransactionFilter<PersistenceContext extends org.nuiton.topia.persistence.TopiaPersistenceContext>
extends Object
implements javax.servlet.Filter

Purpose of this filter

This filter purpose is to inject in the request a transaction from TopiaPersistenceContext and deal with the complete lifecycle of a topia transaction while a request.

The injected transaction will be closed (if was really opened) at the end of the request.

Configuration of the filter

The filter accepts two configuration parameters:

• excludeMethods: This parameters configure a set of method names which should never be called on the proxied transaction. When a such method is called on the transaction then the filter will pass in the hook onExcludeMethod(Object, Method, Object[]).

  Default implementation of this hook is to throw an exception.

• unusedMethods: This parameters configure a set of method names which should be by-pass when the proxied transaction was not still open (via a TopiaApplicationContext.newPersistenceContext(). When a such method is called on the transaction then the filter will pass in the hook onUnusedMethod(Object, Method, Object[]).

  Default implementation of this hook is to not return null values.

Obtain the transaction

The (proxied) transaction is pushed as an attribute in the servlet request.

The attribute name is defined by field requestAttributeName (default value is TOPIA_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE) and can be changed.

A convience method is created here to obtain the transaction getPersistenceContext(ServletRequest) :

 PersistenceContext tx = TypedTopiaTransactionFilter.getPersistenceContext(ServletRequest);
 

If you prefer to not use this nice method, you can also do this:

 PersistenceContext tx = (PersistenceContext) request.getAttribute(TopiaTransactionFilter#TOPIA_TRANSACTION_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTE);
 

Or

 PersistenceContext tx = (PersistenceContext) request.getAttribute(modifiedAttributeName);
