Class TunnelFilter

java.lang.Object

org.restlet.Restlet

org.restlet.routing.Filter

org.restlet.engine.application.TunnelFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Uniform

public class TunnelFilter
extends Filter

Filter tunneling browser calls into full REST calls. The request method can be changed (via POST requests only) as well as the accepted media types, languages, encodings and character sets. Concurrency note: instances of this class or its subclasses can be invoked by several threads at the same time and therefore must be thread-safe. You should be especially careful when storing state in member variables.
