*
* When requesting the resource with e.g.
* http://localhost:4567/hello?user=foo&password=bar
* the filter will accept the request and the request will continue to the /hello route.
*
* Note: There is a second "before filter" that adds a header to the response
* Note: There is also an "after filter" that adds a header to the response
*/
public class FilterExample {
private static Map<String, String> usernamePasswords = new HashMap<String, String>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
usernamePasswords.put("foo", "bar");
usernamePasswords.put("admin", "admin");
before(new Filter() {
@Override

}
}
});
after(new Filter("/hi") {
@Override
public void handle(Request request, Response response) {
Object foo = request.attribute("foo");
response.body(asXml("foo", foo));
}
});
}
private static String asXml(String name, Object value) {
return "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><" + name +">" + value + "</"+ name + ">";
}
}Example showing how to serve static resources
import static spark.Spark.*;
import spark.*;
public class StaticResources {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Will serve all static file are under "/public" in classpath if the route isn't consumed by others routes.
// When using Maven, the "/public" folder is assumed to be in "/main/resources"
staticFileLocation("/public");
get(new Route("/hello") {
@Override
public Object handle(Request request, Response response) {
return "Hello World!";
}
});
}
}Example showing how to define content depending on accept type
import static spark.Spark.*;
import spark.*;
public class JsonAcceptTypeExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
//Running curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:4567/hello json message is read.
//Running curl -i -H "Accept: text/html" http://localhost:4567/hello HTTP 404 error is thrown.
get(new Route("/hello", "application/json") {
@Override
public Object handle(Request request, Response response) {
return "{\"message\": \"Hello World\"}";
}
});
}
} Example showing how to render a view from a template. Note that we are using ModelAndView class for setting the object and name/location of template.
First of all we define a class which handles and renders output depending on template engine used. In this case FreeMarker.
public abstract class FreeMarkerTemplateView extends TemplateViewRoute {
private Configuration configuration;
protected FreeMarkerTemplateView(String path) {
super(path);
this.configuration = createFreemarkerConfiguration();
}
protected FreeMarkerTemplateView(String path, String acceptType) {
super(path, acceptType);
this.configuration = createFreemarkerConfiguration();
}
@Override
public String render(ModelAndView modelAndView) {
try {
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
Template template = configuration.getTemplate(modelAndView.getViewName());
template.process(modelAndView.getModel(), stringWriter);
return stringWriter.toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
} catch (TemplateException e) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException(e);
}
}
private Configuration createFreemarkerConfiguration() {
Configuration retVal = new Configuration();
retVal.setClassForTemplateLoading(FreeMarkerTemplateView.class, "freemarker");
return retVal;
}
}Then we can use it to generate our content. Note how we are setting model data and view name. Because we are using FreeMarker, in this case a Map and the name of the template is required:
public class FreeMarkerExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
get(new FreeMarkerTemplateView("/hello") {
@Override
public ModelAndView handle(Request request, Response response) {
Map<String, Object> attributes = new HashMap<>();
attributes.put("message", "Hello World");
return new ModelAndView(attributes, "hello.ftl");
}
});
}
}Example of using Transformer.
First of all we define the transformer class, in this case a class which transforms an object to JSON format using gson API.
public abstract class JsonTransformer extends ResponseTransformerRoute {
private Gson gson = new Gson();
protected JsonTransformer(String path) {
super(path);
}
protected JsonTransformer(String path, String acceptType) {
super(path, acceptType);
}
@Override
public String render(Model model) {
return gson.toJson(model.getModel());
}
}And then the code which return a simple POJO to be transformed to JSON:
public class TransformerExample {
public static void main(String args[]) {
get(new JsonTransformer("/hello", "application/json") {
@Override
public Model handle(Request request, Response response) {
return new Model(new MyMessage("Hello World"));
}
});
}
}
