Interface ExtensionParameters

    • Method Detail

      • getParameter

        String getParameter​(String name)
        Returns the value of a request parameter as a String, or null if the parameter does not exist. Request parameters are extra information sent with the request. For HTTP servlets, parameters are contained in the query string or posted form data.

        You should only use this method when you are sure the parameter has only one value. If the parameter might have more than one value, use getParameterValues(java.lang.String).

        If you use this method with a multivalued parameter, the value returned is equal to the first value in the array returned by getParameterValues.

        If the parameter data was sent in the request body, such as occurs with an HTTP POST request, then reading the body directly via ExtensionPointHttpServletRequest.getInputStream() or ExtensionPointHttpServletRequest.getReader() can interfere with the execution of this method.

        Parameters:
        name - a String specifying the name of the parameter
        Returns:
        a String representing the single value of the parameter

      • getParameterNames

        RWIterable<String> getParameterNames()

        getParameterNames in interface ExtensionParametersComp
        Returns:
        an Enumeration of String objects, each String containing the name of a request parameter; or an empty Enumeration if the request has no parameters
      • getParameterValues

        String[] getParameterValues​(String name)
        Returns an array of String objects containing all of the values the given request parameter has, or null if the parameter does not exist.

        If the parameter has a single value, the array has a length of 1.

        Parameters:
        name - a String containing the name of the parameter whose value is requested
        Returns:
        an array of String objects containing the parameter's values

        Returns:
        an immutable java.util.Map containing parameter names as keys and parameter values as map values. The keys in the parameter map are of type String. The values in the parameter map are of type String array.
