Interface HstComponent

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseHstComponent, GenericHstComponent, SimpleDispatcherHstComponent, SpringBridgeHstComponent

public interface HstComponent

A HstComponent can be invoked by a HstComponent container during three different request lifecycle phases: ACTION, RESOURCE and RENDER. A HstComponent should be implemented to be thread-safe because the HST container create one instance to serve each request.

void	doBeforeRender(HstRequest request, HstResponse response) Allows the component to do some business logic processing before rendering
void	doBeforeServeResource(HstRequest request, HstResponse response) Allows the component to do some business logic processing before serving resource
default ComponentConfiguration	getComponentConfiguration() Returns the ComponentConfiguration for this component or null if not implemented by a subclass
void	init(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext, ComponentConfiguration componentConfig) Allows the component to initialize itself
