    • appendParameter

      public static String appendParameter(String url, String paramName, String paramValue)
      Appends a request parameter to the given URL.

      This method takes care about the adding the parameter as an additional parameter (appending &param=value) or as the first parameter (appending ?param=value).

      Parameters:
      url - the URL where to append the parameter to
      paramName - the paramter name to append
      paramValue - the parameter value to append
      Returns:
      the URL with the given parameter appended

    • appendParameters

      public static String appendParameters(String url, Map<String,String[]> params, boolean encode)
      Appends a map of request parameters to the given URL.

      The map can contains values of String[] or simple String values.

      This method takes care about the adding the parameter as an additional parameter (appending &param=value) or as the first parameter (appending ?param=value).

      Parameters:
      url - the URL where to append the parameter to
      params - the parameters to append
      encode - if true, the parameter values are encoded before they are appended
      Returns:
      the URL with the given parameter appended

    • checkBacklink

      public static boolean checkBacklink(String backlink, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest optionalRequest)
      Checks that the given link is a valid backlink for editors.

      This means that the link is either just a path, or starts with a scheme/domain/port that is either registered in the site configuration, or is the same as that of the current request.

      Parameters:
      backlink - the link to check
      optionalRequest - the current request - may be null if no check against the current request is desired
      Returns:
      true if the link is a valid backlink

    • createParameterMap

      public static Map<String,String[]> createParameterMap(Map<String,?> params)
      Creates a valid request parameter map from the given map, most notably changing the values form String to String[] if required.

      If the given parameter map is null, then null is returned.

      Parameters:
      params - the map of parameters to create a parameter map from
      Returns:
      the created parameter map, all values will be instances of String[]

    • createParameterMap

      public static Map<String,String[]> createParameterMap(String query)
      Parses the parameters of the given request query part and creates a parameter map out of them.

      Please note: This does not parse a full request URI/URL, only the query part that starts after the "?". For example, in the URI /system/index.html?a=b&c=d, the query part is a=b&c=d.

      If the given String is empty, an empty map is returned.

      Parameters:
      query - the query to parse
      Returns:
      the parameter map created from the query

    • createParameterMap

      public static Map<String,String[]> createParameterMap(String query, boolean decodeParameters, String encoding)
      Parses the parameters of the given request query part, optionally decodes them, and creates a parameter map out of them.

      Please note: This does not parse a full request URI/URL, only the query part that starts after the "?". For example, in the URI /system/index.html?a=b&c=d, the query part is a=b&c=d.

      If the given String is empty, an empty map is returned.

      Parameters:
      query - the query to parse
      decodeParameters - a flag, indicating if the parameters should be decoded.
      encoding - the character encoding used while decoding. If null, the default character encoding is used.
      Returns:
      the parameter map created from the query

    • disableCrossSiteFrameEmbedding

      public static void disableCrossSiteFrameEmbedding(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
      Sets HTTP response headers to disable embedding in iframes on different domains.
      Parameters:
      response - the response on which to set the HTTP headers

    • encodeParams

      public static String encodeParams(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req)
      Returns all parameters of the given request as a request parameter URL String, that is in the form key1=value1&key2=value2 etc. The result will be encoded using the CmsEncoder.encode(String) function.

      Parameters:
      req - the request to read the parameters from
      Returns:
      all initialized parameters of the given request as request parameter URL String

    • encodeParamsWithUri

      public static String encodeParamsWithUri(String uri, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req)
      Encodes the given URI, with all parameters from the given request appended.

      The result will be encoded using the CmsEncoder.encode(String) function.

      Parameters:
      req - the request where to read the parameters from
      uri - the URI to encode
      Returns:
      the encoded URI, with all parameters from the given request appended

    • forwardRequest

      public static void forwardRequest(String target, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException
      Forwards the response to the given target, which may contain parameters appended like for example ?a=b&c=d.

      Please note: If possible, use forwardRequest(String, Map, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) where the parameters are passed as a map, since the parsing of the parameters may introduce issues with encoding and is in general much less effective.

      The parsing of parameters will likely fail for "large values" (e.g. full blown web forms with <textarea> elements etc. Use this method only if you know that the target will just contain up to 3 parameters which are relatively short and have no encoding or line break issues.

      Parameters:
      target - the target to forward to (may contain parameters like ?a=b&c=d)
      req - the request to forward
      res - the response to forward
      Throws:
      IOException - in case the forwarding fails
      javax.servlet.ServletException - in case the forwarding fails

    • forwardRequest

      public static void forwardRequest(String target, Map<String,String[]> params, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res) throws IOException, javax.servlet.ServletException
      Forwards the response to the given target, with the provided parameter map.

      The target URI must NOT have parameters appended like for example ?a=b&c=d. The values in the provided map must be of type String[]. If required, use createParameterMap(Map) before calling this method to make sure all values are actually of the required array type.

      Parameters:
      target - the target to forward to (may NOT contain parameters like ?a=b&c=d)
      params - the parameter map (the values must be of type String[]
      req - the request to forward
      res - the response to forward
      Throws:
      IOException - in case the forwarding fails
      javax.servlet.ServletException - in case the forwarding fails
