Class SupplyHandler
java.lang.Object
sunlabs.brazil.handler.SupplyHandler
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Handler
Sample Handler for dispatching different users to different url's
based on a special http authentication header.
This is a re-implementation of the supplier.net content server
using the new server apis (e.g. its not used for anything anymore).
This handler was originally designed to be a "virtual web site", where
credentials are passed in from an upstream proxy. Those credentials are
used to provide different views based on the particular credentials supplied.
The following configuration properties are used:
- mapFile
- properties file
- prefix
- url prefix
- default
- default map
- header
- http header (authentication)
- realm
- The authentication realm (basic)
