Method Detail

generateResponse

HttpResponse generateResponse()

Invoked to generate a HTTP response message head.

Returns:

HTTP response message.

produceContent

void produceContent(ContentEncoder encoder,
                    IOControl ioControl)
                    throws IOException

Invoked to write out a chunk of content to the ContentEncoder. The IOControl interface can be used to suspend output event notifications if the producer is temporarily unable to produce more content.

When all content is finished, the producer MUST call ContentEncoder.complete(). Failure to do so may cause the entity to be incorrectly delimited.

Please note that the ContentEncoder object is not thread-safe and should only be used within the context of this method call. The IOControl object can be shared and used on other thread to resume output event notifications when more content is made available.

Parameters:

encoder - content encoder.

ioControl - I/O control of the underlying connection.

Throws:

IOException - in case of an I/O error

responseCompleted

void responseCompleted(HttpContext context)

Invoked to signal that the response has been fully written out.

Parameters:

context - HTTP context

failed

void failed(Exception ex)

Invoked to signal that the response processing terminated abnormally.

Parameters:

ex - exception
