Class AsyncDelayHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:
Handler, HandlerContainer, Container, Destroyable, Dumpable, Dumpable.DumpableContainer, LifeCycle

public class AsyncDelayHandler extends HandlerWrapper
A handler wrapper that provides the framework to asynchronously delay the handling of a request. While it uses standard servlet API for asynchronous servlets, it adjusts the dispatch type of the request so that it does not appear to be asynchronous during the delayed dispatch.

    • handle

      public void handle(String target, Request baseRequest, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException, jakarta.servlet.ServletException

    • delayHandling

      protected void delayHandling(Request request, jakarta.servlet.AsyncContext context)

      Parameters:
      request - The request to be delayed
      context - The AsyncContext of the delayed request
    • endHandling

      protected void endHandling(Request request)
