ServletContex&ServletRequest&FilterConfig

关于今天学习Filter的资料及总结：

ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher() vs ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher()

 

why

getRequestDispatcher(String path) of the ServletRequest interface cannot extend outside the current servlet context

where as

getRequestDispatcher(String path) of the ServletContext can use the getContext(String uripath) method to obtain RequestDispatcher for resources in foreign contexts.

and how??

Please help

If you use absolute path ("/index.jsp"), there is no difference. If you use relative path, you must use HttpServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher() . ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher() doesn't allow it. For example, if you receive your request on http://example.com/myapp/subdir ,     RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request . getRequestDispatcher ( "index.jsp); dispatcher.forward( request, response ); Will forward the request to the page http://example.com/myapp/subdir/index.jsp . In any case, you can't forward request to a resource outside of the context.           I would think that your first question is simply a matter of scope. The ServletContext is a much more broad scoped object (the whole servlet context) than a ServletRequest, which is simply a single request. You might look to the Servlet specification itself for more detailed information. As to how, I am sorry but I will have to leave that for others to answer at this time.       Context is stored at the application level scope where as request is stored at page level i.e to say Web Container brings up the applications one by one and run them inside its JVM. It stores a singleton object in its jvm where it registers anyobject that is put inside it.This singleton is shared across all applications running inside it as it is stored inside the JVM of the container itself. However for requests, the container creates a request object that is filled with data from request and is passed along from one thread to the other (each thread is a new request that is coming to the server), also request is passed to the threads of same application.         ServletContext的作用是什么： ServletContext.getContect(java.lang.String uripath)的作用是什么？ 返回同一Server中指定的path对应的ServletContext对象,通过该对象可以实现与Server中的其他Context打交道。 uripath必须是以"/"开始（该路径的含义是相对于整个Servlet文档的根路径，而不是当前ServletContext的根路径）。 ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(String url)和ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(String url)的区别是什么？为什么？ ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(String url)中的url只能使用绝对路径；而ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(String url)中的url可以使用相对路径。 因为ServletRequest具有相对路径的概念；而ServletContext对象无次概念。 如何把请求转移到另外一个Web App中的某个地址？ ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(String url)和ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher(String url)只能把请求转移到同一个Web App中的地址。 如果需要把请求转移到另外一个Web App中的某个地址，可以按下面的做法： 1. 获得另外一个Web App的ServletConext对象(currentServletContext.getContext(uripath)). 2. 调用ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(String url)方法。           javax.servlet.FilterConfig翻译  ========= START OF TOP NAVBAR ======= --> <!-- -->   <!-- --> Overview   Package    Class   Tree   Deprecated   Index   Help   JavaTM 2 Platform Ent.
