Class TryFilesFilter

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jetty.fcgi.server.proxy.TryFilesFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Filter

public class TryFilesFilter
extends Object
implements Filter

Inspired by nginx's try_files functionality.

This filter accepts the files init-param as a list of space-separated file URIs. The special token $path represents the current request URL's path (the portion after the context path).

Typical example of how this filter can be configured is the following:

 <filter>
     <filter-name>try_files</filter-name>
     <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.fcgi.server.proxy.TryFilesFilter</filter-class>
     <init-param>
         <param-name>files</param-name>
         <param-value>maintenance.html $path index.php?p=$path</param-value>
     </init-param>
 </filter>
 

For a request such as /context/path/to/resource.ext, this filter will try to serve the /maintenance.html file if it finds it; failing that, it will try to serve the /path/to/resource.ext file if it finds it; failing that it will forward the request to index.php?p=/path/to/resource.ext. The last file URI specified in the list is therefore the "fallback" to which the request is forwarded to in case no previous files can be found.

The files are resolved using ServletContext.getResource(String) to make sure that only files visible to the application are served.
