Method Detail

setUrlMapping

public void setUrlMapping(java.lang.String url)

Set the URL this handler is mapped to. This interface will only be implemented by some handlers: others may be mapped to many URLs, and so cannot benefit from knowledge of individual mappings. Of course a handler can find out the request URL when it handles a request: implementations of this interface want to know about a single URL mapping before they begin to handle requests.

Parameters:

url - the URL this handler is mapped to
