Package org.eclipse.jetty.fcgi.server.proxy

Class TryFilesFilter

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    javax.servlet.Filter
    public class TryFilesFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.servlet.Filter
    Inspired by nginx's try_files functionality.

    This filter accepts the files init-param as a list of space-separated file URIs. The special token $path represents the current request URL's path (the portion after the context path).

    Typical example of how this filter can be configured is the following: 

     <filter>
     <filter-name>try_files</filter-name>
     <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.fcgi.server.proxy.TryFilesFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
         <param-name>files</param-name>
         <param-value>/maintenance.html $path /index.php?p=$path</param-value>
     </init-param>
 </filter>
    For a request such as /context/path/to/resource.ext, this filter will try to serve the /maintenance.html file if it finds it; failing that, it will try to serve the /path/to/resource.ext file if it finds it; failing that it will forward the request to /index.php?p=/path/to/resource.ext. The last file URI specified in the list is therefore the "fallback" to which the request is forwarded to in case no previous files can be found.

    The files are resolved using ServletContext.getResource(String) to make sure that only files visible to the application are served.
