Java String Operations

- Filter help to block a malicious request if they are not allowed to access a backend resource.
- Filter also help to manipulate the responses that will be sent back to the client.

Different types of filters:

Authentication-Blocking: Block or allow any requests based on user identity.
Logging and auditing: Helps in user tracking.
Image conversion: Helps with scaling maps
Data compression: Reduces download size
Localization: Helps support the code in various countries based on different languages and formatting.
Encryption filters
Tokenizing filters
Mime-type chaining filters
Caching filters
XSL/T Filters: Helps transforming XML requests.

- Filters are specified in web.xml and are executed in the order specified in the file.
- Filter java class implements javax.servlet.Filter and implements these 3 methods: init(), doFilter(), destroy()

import javax.servlet.*;
import java.util.logging.Filter;

public class TestFilter implements Filter {
    public void  init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
        //Get and print init param                
        String testParam = config.getInitParameter("param1");
        System.out.println("Test Param: " + testParam);
    }

    public void  doFilter(ServletRequest request,
                          ServletResponse response,
                          FilterChain chain)
            throws java.io.IOException, ServletException {

        // Get the method of the request
        String method = request.getMethod();
        logger.info("Request Method is: ", method);

        // Pass request back down the filter chain
        chain.doFilter(request,response);
    }
    public void destroy( ){
        //close any resources here        }
}

Compile TestFilter.java in usual way and put your class file in <Tomcat-installation-directory>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes

Make following config change in the web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>TestFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>param1</param-name>
        <param-value>Test</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

The TestFilter will apply to all the servlets since we specified url-pattern as /*. For example if we want to apply TestFilter to only a class called as TestFile then the config will look like

<filter>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>TestFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>param1</param-name>
        <param-value>Test</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>TestFile</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Multiple filters

<filter>
    <filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>TestFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>param1</param-name>
        <param-value>Value1</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TestFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter>
<filter-name>TestFilter2</filter-name>
<filter-class>TestFilter2</filter-class>
<init-param>
    <param-name>param</param-name>
    <param-value>Value</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>TestFilter2</filter-name>
<url-pattern>TestFile</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

In this example, TestFilter will be applied followed by TestFilter2.

Java Servlet Client Request

Client request from java servlet can contain a lot of data and most of the data can be retrieved using different methods. Here are those methods. Most methods are self explanatory so their explanation is not provided.

getLocale: Returns the preferred locale that the client will accept the locale in.
getAttribute(String name): Returns the value of the attribute.
getInputStream(): Returns body of the request in binary data.
getAuthType: Returns BASIC, SSL or NULL
getCharacterEncoding: Returns encoding type like ASCII, 8-bit, UTF-8, UTF-16
getContentType: Returns MIME type(Type of data like application/json/xml, etc). Specifying it will help the application to decode it.
getContextPath: Returns URI's portion that returns context of the request.
getHeader(String name): Returns values of the specified header.
getMethod: Returns Get, post, put, delete
getRequestURI()
getRequestedSessionId()
getServletPath()
getParameterValues(String name)
isSecure()
getContentLength(): Returns the length of the request body or -1 if the length is not know.
getIntHeader(String name): Returns value of the header as an int.
getServerPort(): Returns the port number on which this request was received.
getParameter(String name): Returns the parameter value or null if the param doesn't exist.
getPathInfo(): Returns any extra path info associated with the URL.
getProtocol(): Returns protocol like HTTP, HTTPS, etc
getQueryString():
getCookies(): Returns all the cookies from the client's request as an array.
getAttributeNames(): Returns an enum of all the attributes from the request.
getHeaderNames: Returns an enum of all the headers from the request.
getParameterNames: Returns an enum of all the parameters from the request.
getSession: Returns the current session or creates a new one.
getSession(boolean create): Returns the current session if one exists and will create a new one only if(boolean = true).
getRemoteAddr()
getRemoteHost()
getRemoteUser()

Example
This is how any method is needed to be applied to the request to retrieve a specific value.
request.getHeaderNames();
