Method Detail

processPreprocess

protected boolean processPreprocess(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Runs initializations and other necessary routines before every request into the system.

Here are the steps this method takes for each request:

1. Initializes the request's htmlHeadTitle attribute to the "storeName" setting from the database. This attribute may be modified later by an action class or by LayoutAction.
2. Similarly initializes the request's htmlHeadKeywords and htmlHeadDescriptionattributes. These settings must be initialized in advance of forwarding the request to a Tiles definition so they are available when the "htmlHead" Tile is called.
3. Sets the session scope's currentLayout attribute to the "layout" request parameter, if it is present, or to the "defaultLayout" setting from the database, if it is not present.
4. Sets a convenience attribute named "loggedIn" to "true" in the request scope, if the current user is a logged in customer.
5. Calls sscOnCustomerPreRequestEnd, which can be overridden by a subclass to provide customizations.

Overrides:

processPreprocess in class BaseRequestProcessor

Parameters:

request - The servlet request we are processing.

response - The servlet response we are creating.

sscOnCustomerPreRequestEnd

public boolean sscOnCustomerPreRequestEnd(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                                          javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Performs custom processing at the end of each call to processPreProcess. Intended to be overridden by subclasses for customizations. This method should return false to signal processPreProcess to return false itself.

Returns:

true if the processing was successful, false if processing should stop.
