Interface PostOperation

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractPostOperation, AbstractSlingPostOperation

public interface PostOperation

The PostOperation interface defines the service API to be implemented by service providers extending the Sling POST servlet. Service providers may register OSGi services of this type to be used by the Sling default POST servlet to handle specific operations.

The PostOperation service must be registered with a PROP_OPERATION_NAME registration property giving the name(s) of the operations supported by the service. The names will be used to find the actual operation from the :operation request parameter.

The Sling POST servlet itself provides various operations (see the OPERATION_ constants in the SlingPostConstants interface.These names should not be used by SlingPostOperation service providers.

This interface replaces the old SlingPostOperation service interface adding support for extensible responses by means of the PostResponse interface as well as operation postprocessing.

Implementors of this interface are advised to extend the AbstractPostOperation class to benefit from various precossings implemented by that abstract class.

Parameters:

request - The SlingHttpServletRequest object providing the request input for the operation.

response - The HtmlResponse into which the operation steps should be recorded.

processors - The SlingPostProcessor services to be called after applying the operation. This may be null if there are none.
