Method Detail

validate

HttpError validate()

Validates a specific request. This method must be called prior to process() as a request can do pre processing in the validate method.
Should the validation fail, an error object is returned containing an error message, and potentially a stack trace if an exception was generated

Returns:

HttpError - null if no error was detected, an HttpError object containing information about the error.

process

int process(int prevops)
     throws BayeuxException

processes a remote client Bayeux message

Parameters:

prevops - - the operation requested by the previous request, in case of chained requests.

Returns:

int - returns the interest operation for a CometEvent. Currently not used

Throws:

BayeuxException - - if an error was detected, and the appropriate error response couldn't be delivered to the client.
