Field Detail

CHARSET_UTF8_NAME

public static final java.lang.String CHARSET_UTF8_NAME
See Also:
Constant Field Values

CHARSET_UTF8

public static final java.nio.charset.Charset CHARSET_UTF8
The UTF-8 Charset. Use this to avoid concurrency bottlenecks when converting between byte arrays and Strings. See http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6398

BUFFER_SIZE

static final int BUFFER_SIZE
Package protected for use in tests.

Method Detail

acceptsGzipEncoding

public static boolean acceptsGzipEncoding(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
Returns true if the HttpServletRequest accepts Gzip encoding. This is done by checking that the accept-encoding header specifies gzip as a supported encoding.

Parameters:
request - the request instance to test for gzip encoding acceptance
Returns:
true if the HttpServletRequest accepts Gzip encoding

exceedsUncompressedContentLengthLimit

public static boolean exceedsUncompressedContentLengthLimit(java.lang.String content)
Returns true if the response content's estimated UTF-8 byte length exceeds 256 bytes.

Parameters:
content - the contents of the response
Returns:
true if the response content's estimated UTF-8 byte length exceeds 256 bytes

getCharset

public static java.nio.charset.Charset getCharset(java.lang.String encoding)
Get the Charset for a named character set. Caches Charsets to work around a concurrency bottleneck in FastCharsetProvider. See http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=6398

Parameters:
encoding - the name of the Charset to get. If this is null the default UTF-8 character set will be returned.
Returns:
the named Charset.
See Also:
Charset#forName(String)}

isExpectedException

public static boolean isExpectedException(java.lang.reflect.Method serviceIntfMethod,
                                          java.lang.Throwable cause)
Returns true if the Method definition on the service is specified to throw the exception contained in the InvocationTargetException or false otherwise. NOTE we do not check that the type is serializable here. We assume that it must be otherwise the application would never have been allowed to run.

Parameters:
serviceIntfMethod - the method from the RPC request
cause - the exception that the method threw
Returns:
true if the exception's type is in the method's signature

expectedContentType - the expected content (i.e. 'type/subtype' only) in the Content-Type request header, or null if no validation is to be performed, and you are willing to allow for some types of cross type security attacks
expectedCharSet - the expected request charset, or null if no charset validation is to be performed and UTF-8 should be assumed
Returns:
the content of an HttpServletRequest by decoding it using expectedCharSet, or UTF-8 if expectedCharSet is null
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if the request's input stream cannot be accessed, read from or closed
javax.servlet.ServletException - if the request's content type does not equal the supplied expectedContentType or expectedCharSet
