Method Detail

getRequestLogInfo

public static String getRequestLogInfo(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Return a string for logging, containing useful information about the current request - the URL, the method and parameters.

Parameters:

request - the request object.

Returns:

a multi-line string containing information about the request.

getOriginalURL

public static String getOriginalURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Get the original request URL.

Parameters:

request - the HTTP request

Returns:

the original request URL

storeOriginalURL

public static void storeOriginalURL(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Put the original request URL into the request object as an attribute for later use. This is necessary because forwarding a request removes this information. The attribute is only written if it hasn't been before; thus it can be called after a forward safely.

Parameters:

request - the HTTP request

sendAlert

public static void sendAlert(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                             Exception exception)

Send an alert to the designated "alert recipient" - that is, when a database error or internal error occurs, this person is sent an e-mail with details.

The recipient is configured via the "alert.recipient" property in dspace.cfg. If this property is omitted, no alerts are sent.

This method "swallows" any exception that might occur - it will just be logged. This is because this method will usually be invoked as part of an error handling routine anyway.

Parameters:

request - the HTTP request leading to the error

exception - the exception causing the error, or null

createCollectionWorkflowRole

public static void createCollectionWorkflowRole(Context context,
                                                int collectionId,

                                                Group group)
