Interface Pipeline
- All Superinterfaces:
- Contained
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- StandardPipeline
 Interface describing a collection of Valves that should be executed in sequence when the invoke() method
 is invoked. It is required that a Valve somewhere in the pipeline (usually the last one) must process the request and
 create the corresponding response, rather than trying to pass the request on.
 
 There is generally a single Pipeline instance associated with each Container. The container's normal request
 processing functionality is generally encapsulated in a container-specific Valve, which should always be executed at
 the end of a pipeline. To facilitate this, the setBasic() method is provided to set the Valve instance
 that will always be executed last. Other Valves will be executed in the order that they were added, before the basic
 Valve is executed.

Method Details- 
getBasicValve getBasic()- Returns:
- the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic Valve for this Pipeline (if any).
 
- 
setBasicSet the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic Valve for this Pipeline (if any). Prior to setting the basic Valve, the Valve's setContainer()will be called, if it implementsContained, with the owning Container as an argument. The method may throw anIllegalArgumentExceptionif this Valve chooses not to be associated with this Container, orIllegalStateExceptionif it is already associated with a different Container.- Parameters:
- valve- Valve to be distinguished as the basic Valve
 
- 
addValveAdd a new Valve to the end of the pipeline associated with this Container. Prior to adding the Valve, the Valve's setContainer()method will be called, if it implementsContained, with the owning Container as an argument. The method may throw anIllegalArgumentExceptionif this Valve chooses not to be associated with this Container, orIllegalStateExceptionif it is already associated with a different Container.Implementation note: Implementations are expected to trigger the Container.ADD_VALVE_EVENTfor the associated container if this call is successful.- Parameters:
- valve- Valve to be added
- Throws:
- IllegalArgumentException- if this Container refused to accept the specified Valve
- IllegalArgumentException- if the specified Valve refuses to be associated with this Container
- IllegalStateException- if the specified Valve is already associated with a different Container
 
- 
getValvesValve[] getValves()- Returns:
- the set of Valves in the pipeline associated with this Container, including the basic Valve (if any). If there are no such Valves, a zero-length array is returned.
 
- 
removeValveRemove the specified Valve from the pipeline associated with this Container, if it is found; otherwise, do nothing. If the Valve is found and removed, the Valve'ssetContainer(null)method will be called if it implementsContained.Implementation note: Implementations are expected to trigger the Container.REMOVE_VALVE_EVENTfor the associated container if this call is successful.- Parameters:
- valve- Valve to be removed
 
- 
getFirstValve getFirst()- Returns:
- the Valve instance that has been distinguished as the basic Valve for this Pipeline (if any).
 
- 
isAsyncSupportedboolean isAsyncSupported()Returns true if all the valves in this pipeline support async, false otherwise- Returns:
- true if all the valves in this pipeline support async, false otherwise
 
- 
findNonAsyncValvesIdentifies the Valves, if any, in this Pipeline that do not support async.- Parameters:
- result- The Set to which the fully qualified class names of each Valve in this Pipeline that does not support async will be added
