HttpServletRequest (Jakarta EE Platform API)

All Superinterfaces:

ServletRequest

All Known Implementing Classes:

HttpServletRequestWrapper
```
public interface HttpServletRequest
extends ServletRequest
```
Extends the ServletRequest interface to provide request information for HTTP servlets.
The servlet container creates an HttpServletRequest object and passes it as an argument to the servlet's service methods (doGet, doPost, etc).

    The date is returned as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT. The header name is case insensitive.
    If the request did not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header can't be converted to a date, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the name of the header
    
    Returns:
    
    a long value representing the date specified in the header expressed as the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 GMT, or -1 if the named header was not included with the request

    IllegalArgumentException - If the header value can't be converted to a date
  - getHeader
```
String getHeader(String name)
```
    Returns the value of the specified request header as a String. If the request did not include a header of the specified name, this method returns null. If there are multiple headers with the same name, this method returns the first head in the request. The header name is case insensitive. You can use this method with any request header.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the header name
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the value of the requested header, or null if the request does not have a header of that name
  - getHeaders
```
Enumeration<String> getHeaders(String name)
```
    Returns all the values of the specified request header as an Enumeration of String objects.
    Some headers, such as Accept-Language can be sent by clients as several headers each with a different value rather than sending the header as a comma separated list.
    If the request did not include any headers of the specified name, this method returns an empty Enumeration. The header name is case insensitive. You can use this method with any request header.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the header name
    
    Returns:
    
    an Enumeration containing the values of the requested header. If the request does not have any headers of that name return an empty enumeration. If the container does not allow access to header information, return null
  - getHeaderNames
```
Enumeration<String> getHeaderNames()
```
    Returns an enumeration of all the header names this request contains. If the request has no headers, this method returns an empty enumeration.
    Some servlet containers do not allow servlets to access headers using this method, in which case this method returns null
    
    Returns:
    
    an enumeration of all the header names sent with this request; if the request has no headers, an empty enumeration; if the servlet container does not allow servlets to use this method, null
  - getIntHeader
```
int getIntHeader(String name)
```
    Returns the value of the specified request header as an int. If the request does not have a header of the specified name, this method returns -1. If the header cannot be converted to an integer, this method throws a NumberFormatException.
    The header name is case insensitive.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - a String specifying the name of a request header
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer expressing the value of the request header or -1 if the request doesn't have a header of this name
    
    Throws:
    
    NumberFormatException - If the header value can't be converted to an int
  - getHttpServletMapping
```
default HttpServletMapping getHttpServletMapping()
```
    Return the HttpServletMapping of the request.
    The mapping returned depends on the current DispatcherType as obtained from ServletRequest.getDispatcherType():
    
    DispatcherType.REQUEST, DispatcherType.ASYNC, DispatcherType.ERROR
    
    Return the mapping for the target of the dispatch i.e. the mapping for the current Servlet.
    
    DispatcherType.INCLUDE
    
    Return the mapping as prior to the current dispatch. i.e the mapping returned is unchanged by a call to
    RequestDispatcher.include(ServletRequest, ServletResponse).
    DispatcherType.FORWARD
    
    Return the mapping for the target of the dispatch i.e. the mapping for the current Servlet, unless the RequestDispatcher was obtained via ServletContext.getNamedDispatcher(String), in which case return the mapping as prior to the current dispatch. i.e the mapping returned is changed during a call to RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest, ServletResponse) only if the dispatcher is not a named dispatcher.
    
    For example:
    - For a sequence Servlet1 --include--> Servlet2 --include--> Servlet3, a call to this method in Servlet3 will return the mapping for Servlet1.
    - For a sequence Servlet1 --async--> Servlet2 --named-forward--> Servlet3, a call to this method in Servlet3 will return the mapping for Servlet2.
    The returned object is immutable. Servlet 4.0 compliant implementations must override this method.
    Returns:
    
    An instance of HttpServletMapping describing the manner in which the current request was invoked.
    
    Since:
    
    4.0
    
    Implementation Specification:
    
    The default implementation returns a HttpServletMapping that returns the empty string for the match value, pattern and servlet name and null for the match type.
  - getMethod
```
String getMethod()
```
    Returns the name of the HTTP method with which this request was made, for example, GET, POST, or PUT. Same as the value of the CGI variable REQUEST_METHOD.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the name of the method with which this request was made
  - getPathInfo
```
String getPathInfo()
```
    Returns any extra path information associated with the URL the client sent when it made this request. The extra path information follows the servlet path but precedes the query string and will start with a "/" character.
    This method returns null if there was no extra path information.
    Same as the value of the CGI variable PATH_INFO.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String, decoded by the web container, specifying extra path information that comes after the servlet path but before the query string in the request URL; or null if the URL does not have any extra path information
  - getPathTranslated
```
String getPathTranslated()
```
    Returns any extra path information after the servlet name but before the query string, and translates it to a real path. Same as the value of the CGI variable PATH_TRANSLATED.
    If the URL does not have any extra path information, this method returns null or the servlet container cannot translate the virtual path to a real path for any reason (such as when the web application is executed from an archive). The web container does not decode this string.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the real path, or null if the URL does not have any extra path information
  - newPushBuilder
```
default PushBuilder newPushBuilder()
```
    Instantiates a new instance of PushBuilder for issuing server push responses from the current request. This method returns null if the current connection does not support server push, or server push has been disabled by the client via a SETTINGS_ENABLE_PUSH settings frame value of 0 (zero).
    
    Returns:
    
    a PushBuilder for issuing server push responses from the current request, or null if push is not supported
    
    Since:
    
    Servlet 4.0
    
    Implementation Specification:
    
    The default implementation returns null.
  - getContextPath
```
String getContextPath()
```
    Returns the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request. The context path always comes first in a request URI. The path starts with a "/" character but does not end with a "/" character. For servlets in the default (root) context, this method returns "". The container does not decode this string.
    It is possible that a servlet container may match a context by more than one context path. In such cases this method will return the actual context path used by the request and it may differ from the path returned by the ServletContext.getContextPath() method. The context path returned by ServletContext.getContextPath() should be considered as the prime or preferred context path of the application.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the portion of the request URI that indicates the context of the request
    
    See Also:
    
    ServletContext.getContextPath()
  - getQueryString
```
String getQueryString()
```
    Returns the query string that is contained in the request URL after the path. This method returns null if the URL does not have a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable QUERY_STRING.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the query string or null if the URL contains no query string. The value is not decoded by the container.
  - getRemoteUser
```
String getRemoteUser()
```
    Returns the login of the user making this request, if the user has been authenticated, or null if the user has not been authenticated. Whether the user name is sent with each subsequent request depends on the browser and type of authentication. Same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_USER.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the login of the user making this request, or null if the user login is not known
  - isUserInRole
```
boolean isUserInRole(String role)
```
    Returns a boolean indicating whether the authenticated user is included in the specified logical "role". Roles and role membership can be defined using deployment descriptors. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns false.
    The role name "*" should never be used as an argument in calling isUserInRole. Any call to isUserInRole with "*" must return false. If the role-name of the security-role to be tested is "**", and the application has NOT declared an application security-role with role-name "**", isUserInRole must only return true if the user has been authenticated; that is, only when getRemoteUser() and getUserPrincipal() would both return a non-null value. Otherwise, the container must check the user for membership in the application role.
    
    Parameters:
    
    role - a String specifying the name of the role
    
    Returns:
    
    a boolean indicating whether the user making this request belongs to a given role; false if the user has not been authenticated
  - getUserPrincipal
```
Principal getUserPrincipal()
```
    Returns a java.security.Principal object containing the name of the current authenticated user. If the user has not been authenticated, the method returns null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a java.security.Principal containing the name of the user making this request; null if the user has not been authenticated
  - getRequestedSessionId
```
String getRequestedSessionId()
```
    Returns the session ID specified by the client. This may not be the same as the ID of the current valid session for this request. If the client did not specify a session ID, this method returns null.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String specifying the session ID, or null if the request did not specify a session ID
    
    See Also:
    
    isRequestedSessionIdValid()
  - getRequestURI
```
String getRequestURI()
```
    Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request. The web container does not decode this String. For example:
    
    First line of HTTP request Returned Value
    POST /some/path.html HTTP/1.1 /some/path.html
    GET http://foo.bar/a.html HTTP/1.0 /a.html
    HEAD /xyz?a=b HTTP/1.1 /xyz
    
    To reconstruct an URL with a scheme and host, use HttpUtils.getRequestURL(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest).
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the part of the URL from the protocol name up to the query string
    
    See Also:
    
    HttpUtils.getRequestURL(jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)
  - getRequestURL
```
StringBuffer getRequestURL()
```
    Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.
    If this request has been forwarded using RequestDispatcher.forward(jakarta.servlet.ServletRequest, jakarta.servlet.ServletResponse), the server path in the reconstructed URL must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher, and not the server path specified by the client.
    Because this method returns a StringBuffer, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.
    This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.
    
    Returns:
    
    a StringBuffer object containing the reconstructed URL
  - getServletPath
```
String getServletPath()
```
    Returns the part of this request's URL that calls the servlet. This path starts with a "/" character and includes either the servlet name or a path to the servlet, but does not include any extra path information or a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable SCRIPT_NAME.
    This method will return an empty string ("") if the servlet used to process this request was matched using the "/*" pattern.
    
    Returns:
    
    a String containing the name or path of the servlet being called, as specified in the request URL, decoded, or an empty string if the servlet used to process the request is matched using the "/*" pattern.
  - getSession
```
HttpSession getSession(boolean create)
```
    Returns the current HttpSession associated with this request or, if there is no current session and create is true, returns a new session.
    If create is false and the request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null.
    To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    
    create - true to create a new session for this request if necessary; false to return null if there's no current session
    
    Returns:
    
    the HttpSession associated with this request or null if create is false and the request has no valid session
    
    See Also:

    the new session id
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if there is no session associated with the request
    
    Since:
    
    Servlet 3.1
  - isRequestedSessionIdValid
```
boolean isRequestedSessionIdValid()
```
    Checks whether the requested session ID is still valid.
    If the client did not specify any session ID, this method returns false.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this request has an id for a valid session in the current session context; false otherwise
    
    See Also:
    
    getRequestedSessionId(), getSession(boolean), HttpSessionContext
  - isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie
```
boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromCookie()
```
    Checks whether the requested session ID was conveyed to the server as an HTTP cookie.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the session ID was conveyed to the server an an HTTP cookie; otherwise, false
    
    See Also:
    
    getSession(boolean)

  - authenticate
```
boolean authenticate(HttpServletResponse response)
              throws IOException,
                     ServletException
```
    Use the container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext to authenticate the user making this request.
    This method may modify and commit the argument HttpServletResponse.
    
    Parameters:
    
    response - The HttpServletResponse associated with this HttpServletRequest
    
    Returns:
    
    true when non-null values were or have been established as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType. Return false if authentication is incomplete and the underlying login mechanism has committed, in the response, the message (e.g., challenge) and HTTP status code to be returned to the user.
    
    Throws:

    Validate the provided username and password in the password validation realm used by the web container login mechanism configured for the ServletContext.
    This method returns without throwing a ServletException when the login mechanism configured for the ServletContext supports username password validation, and when, at the time of the call to login, the identity of the caller of the request had not been established (i.e, all of getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType return null), and when validation of the provided credentials is successful. Otherwise, this method throws a ServletException as described below.
    When this method returns without throwing an exception, it must have established non-null values as the values returned by getUserPrincipal, getRemoteUser, and getAuthType.
    
    Parameters:
    
    username - The String value corresponding to the login identifier of the user.
    
    password - The password String corresponding to the identified user.
    
    Throws:
    
    ServletException - if the configured login mechanism does not support username password authentication, or if a non-null caller identity had already been established (prior to the call to login), or if validation of the provided username and password fails.

  - getTrailerFields
```
default Map<String,String> getTrailerFields()
```
    Get the request trailer fields.
    The returned map is not backed by the HttpServletRequest object, so changes in the returned map are not reflected in the HttpServletRequest object, and vice-versa.
    
    isTrailerFieldsReady() should be called first to determine if it is safe to call this method without causing an exception.
    
    Returns:
    
    A map of trailer fields in which all the keys are in lowercase, regardless of the case they had at the protocol level. If there are no trailer fields, yet isTrailerFieldsReady() is returning true, the empty map is returned.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if isTrailerFieldsReady() is false
    
    Since:
    
    Servlet 4.0
    
    Implementation Specification:
    
    The default implementation returns an empty map.
  - isTrailerFieldsReady
```
default boolean isTrailerFieldsReady()
```
    Return a boolean indicating whether trailer fields are ready to read using getTrailerFields(). This methods returns true immediately if it is known that there is no trailer in the request, for instance, the underlying protocol (such as HTTP 1.0) does not supports the trailer fields, or the request is not in chunked encoding in HTTP 1.1. And the method also returns true if both of the following conditions are satisfied:
    1. the application has read all the request data and an EOF indication has been returned from the ServletRequest.getReader() or ServletRequest.getInputStream().
    2. all the trailer fields sent by the client have been received. Note that it is possible that the client has sent no trailer fields.
    Returns:
    
    a boolean whether trailer fields are ready to read
    
    Since:
    
    Servlet 4.0
    
    Implementation Specification:
    
    The default implementation returns false.
