Interface Cookies

All Known Implementing Classes:

CookiesImpl

public interface Cookies

Used by other services to obtain cookie values for the current request, or to write cookie values as part of the request. Note that when writing cookies, the cookie's secure flag will match Request.isSecure().

Method Detail

readCookieValue

  name)

Returns the value of the first cookie whose name matches. Returns null if no such cookie exists. This method is only aware of cookies that are part of the incoming request; it does not know about additional cookies added since then (via writeCookieValue(String, String)).

writeCookieValue

void  name,
                       value)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

Creates or updates a cookie value. The value is stored using a max age (in seconds) defined by the symbol org.apache.tapestry5.default-cookie-max-age. The factory default for this value is the equivalent of one week.

writeCookieValue

void  name,
                       value,
                      int maxAge)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

As with writeCookieValue(String, String) but an explicit maximum age may be set.

Parameters:

name - the name of the cookie

value - the value to be stored in the cookie

maxAge - the maximum age, in seconds, to store the cookie

writeCookieValue

void  name,
                       value,
                       path)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

As with writeCookieValue(String, String) but an explicit path may be set.

writeDomainCookieValue

void  name,
                             value,
                             domain)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

As with writeCookieValue(String, String) but an explicit domain may be set.

writeDomainCookieValue

void  name,
                             value,
                             domain,
                            int maxAge)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

As with writeCookieValue(String, String) but an explicit domain and maximum age may be set.

writeCookieValue

void  name,
                       value,
                       path,
                       domain)

Deprecated.

Use the CookieBuilder API, obtained with getBuilder(String, String), instead.

As with writeCookieValue(String, String, String) but an explicit domain and path may be set.

removeCookieValue

void  name)

Removes a previously written cookie, by writing a new cookie with a maxAge of 0. Only deletes a cookie with the default path and no domain set. For deleting other cookies use CookieBuilder.delete(). An instance of the CookieBuilder API can be obtained with getBuilder(String, String).

getBuilder

 name,
                          value)

Returns a . The default implementation creates a cookie who's value is stored using a max age (in seconds) defined by the symbol org.apache.tapestry5.default-cookie-max-age. The factory default for this value is the equivalent of one week. The default path is the context path (see Request.getContextPath()) of the current Request, the default secure setting is to send the cookie over secure channels only, if the original request was secure (see Request.isSecure()

Parameters:

name - the name of the cookie

value - the value of the cookie

Returns:

a CookieBuilder for setting additional cookie attributes and writing it out
