• org.apache.cactus.spi.client: Javadoc index of package org.apache.cactus.spi.client.


Package Samples:

• org.apache.cactus.spi.client.connector: Contains Cactus client-side SPI classes required to implement new protocols other than the Cactus-implemented ones.  

Classes:

• ProtocolHandler: Any communication protocol (e.g HTTP) used to connect between Cactus client side and Cactus server side must implement this lifecycle interface. This interface is part of the connector SPI. Here is the lifecycle followed by Cactus core: Call createRequest() 55 to create a request object that will be passed to the begin() and beginXXX() methods. They will in turn enrich it with values set by the user. Call begin() and beginXXX() methods. Call runTest(junit.framework.Test, junit.framework.Test, org.apache.cactus.Request) 55 to execute the tests. Call createResponseObjectFactory(org.apache.cactus.spi.client.connector.ProtocolState) ...
• ProtocolState: Hold protocol-related information that need to be exchanged during the lifecycle of the ProtocolHandler . For example the HTTP protocol handler needs to pass the HTTP connection around to the different lifecycle methods. However, as this kind of state information is highly protocol dependent, we needed to abstract out the state information, hence this tagging interface. The implementation is free to have any kind of methods. These methods will only be used in the ProtocolHandler implementation classes.
• ResponseObjectFactory: Constructs response object that are passed as parameter to endXXX() and global end() methods.
