Method Detail

init

public boolean init(Server server,
                    String prefix)

Initialize the handler. Handler objects are created by the server using newInstance(). The init method is called first, and exactly one for each instance, and may be used for one-time initializations. This handler doesn't require any.

Specified by:: init in interface Handler

Parameters:: server - A reference to the server.; prefix - A string identifying this instance of the handler. It is used by the ChainHandler to provide the prefix to be prepended onto each property intended for this handler.
Returns:: true Only if the handler is successfully initialized.

respond

public boolean respond(Request request)
                throws IOException

Dispatch and handle the request. This version justs reflects the HTTP header information. It is commonly placed downstream of the CgiHandler to allow HTML forms to be tested before the cgi script is written.

Specified by:: respond in interface Handler

Parameters:: request - The request object contains all of the information about the request, as well as methods to manipulate it. Although multiple threads may call this method connurrently, each will have its own request object.

formatTable

public static String formatTable(Dictionary data,
                                 String caption)

Turn a hash table into html format. This is a static method so it may be used in other handlers.

Parameters:: table - The table to format
Returns:: The html fragment
