Package org.apache.felix.webconsole

Class AbstractWebConsolePlugin

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    SimpleWebConsolePlugin
    @Deprecated
public abstract class AbstractWebConsolePlugin
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
    Deprecated.
    Either register a servlet using Servlet API 5 or use AbstractServlet
    The Web Console can be extended by registering an OSGi service for the interface Servlet with the service property felix.webconsole.label set to the label (last segment in the URL) of the page. The respective service is called a Web Console Plugin or a plugin for short. To help rendering the response the Apache Felix Web Console bundle provides two options. One of the options is to extend the AbstractWebConsolePlugin overwriting the renderContent(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) method.

      • ATTR_FILEUPLOAD_REPO

        @Deprecated
public static final String ATTR_FILEUPLOAD_REPO
        Deprecated.
        Use the Servlet API for uploads
        The name of the request attribute containing a File - upload repository path used by DiskFileItemFactory.

        The Web Console plugin, that utilizes file upload capabilities of the web console SHOULD:

        1. Obtain the file using BundleContext.getDataFile(String)
        2. Set the file as request attribute
        3. Use WebConsoleUtil.getParameter(HttpServletRequest, String) to obtain the file(s)
        Without setting this attribute, your plugin will not work if there is a security manager enabled. It is guaranteed, that your plugin has permissions to read/write/delete files to the location, provided by the bundle context.
