and callingPartialViewContext.isAjaxRequest()
.Jakarta Servlet: For non
Ajax
requests, this must be accomplished by calling thejakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
methodsendRedirect()
.For Ajax requests, the implementation must:- Get a

. - Call
ExternalContext.setResponseContentType(java.lang.String)
withtext/xml
- Call
ExternalContext.setResponseCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String)
withUTF-8
- Call
ExternalContext.addResponseHeader(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
withCache-Control
,no-cache
- Call
PartialResponseWriter.startDocument()
- Call
PartialResponseWriter.redirect(java.lang.String)
with theurl
argument. - Call
PartialResponseWriter.endDocument()
- Specified by:
redirect
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
url
- Absolute URL to which the client should be redirected- Throws:
IOException

getRequestCharacterEncoding
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Return the character encoding currently being used to interpret this request.
Jakarta Servlet: This must return the value returned by the
jakarta.servlet.ServletRequest
methodgetCharacterEncoding()
.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
getRequestCharacterEncoding
in classExternalContext
- Returns:
- the character encoding currently being used.
-
setRequestCharacterEncoding
public void setRequestCharacterEncoding(String requestCharacterEncoding) throws UnsupportedEncodingException Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Overrides the name of the character encoding used in the body of this request.
Calling this method after the request has been accessed will have no no effect, unless a
Reader
orStream
has been obtained from the request, in which case anIllegalStateException
is thrown.Jakarta Servlet: This must call through to the
jakarta.servlet.ServletRequest
methodsetCharacterEncoding()
.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
setRequestCharacterEncoding
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
requestCharacterEncoding
- the encoding name to be set.- Throws:
UnsupportedEncodingException
- if this is not a valid encoding
-
getResponseCharacterEncoding
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Returns the name of the character encoding (MIME charset) used for the body sent in this response.
Jakarta Servlet: This must return the value returned by the
jakarta.servlet.ServletResponse
methodgetCharacterEncoding()
.Portlet: if this method is called during a lifecycle phase other than RENDER_RESPONSE, this must return
null
. If called during RENDER_RESPONSE, return the response encoding of the portlet response.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
getResponseCharacterEncoding
in classExternalContext
- Returns:
- the name of the character encoding.
-
setResponseCharacterEncoding
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Sets the character encoding (MIME charset) of the response being sent to the client, for example, to UTF-8.
Jakarta Servlet: This must call through to the
jakarta.servlet.ServletResponse
methodsetCharacterEncoding()
.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
setResponseCharacterEncoding
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
responseCharacterEncoding
- the character encoding to be sent by the current response.
-
setResponseHeader
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Set the response header with the given name and value.
Jakarta Servlet:This must be performed by calling the
jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
setHeader
method.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
setResponseHeader
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the response header.value
- The value of the response header.
-
addResponseHeader
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Add the given name and value to the response header.
Jakarta Servlet:This must be performed by calling the
jakarta.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse
addHeader
method.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
addResponseHeader
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the response header.value
- The value of the response header.
-
encodePartialActionURL
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Return the input URL, after performing any rewriting needed to ensure that it can be used in a partial page submission (ajax request) to correctly identify an addressable action in the current application.
See
ExternalContext.encodeActionURL(java.lang.String)
for the required specification of how to encode theClientWindow
.Jakarta Servlet:Returns the same encoded URL as the
ExternalContext.encodeActionURL(String url)
method.Portlet:Returns an encoded URL that, upon HTTP POST, will invoke the RESOURCE_PHASE of the portlet lifecycle.
- Overrides:
encodePartialActionURL
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
url
- The input URL to be encoded- Returns:
- the encoded URL.
-
getRealPath
Description copied from class:ExternalContext
Returns a String containing the real path for a given virtual path.
It is valid to call this method during application startup or shutdown. If called during application startup or shutdown, this method calls through to the
getRealPath()
method on the same container context instance (ServletContext
orPortletContext
) as the one used when callinggetRealPath()
on theExternalContext
returned by theFacesContext
during an actual request.Jakarta Servlet: This must be the value returned by the
jakarta.servlet.ServletContext
methodgetRealPath()
.The default implementation throws
UnsupportedOperationException
and is provided for the sole purpose of not breaking existing applications that extend this class.- Overrides:
getRealPath
in classExternalContext
- Parameters:
path
- The context of the requested initialization parameter- Returns:
- the real path for the specified virtual path.
