public class Session
extends org.jdesktop.beans.AbstractBean

Represents a user's "session" on the web. Think of it as a "tab" in a tabbed web browser. It may access multiple web sites during one "session", but remembers the cookies for all of them.

Sessions also contain all the information needed to keep track of the progress of a request/response cycle (including uploading and downloading of data). The values are reset at the beginning of a request and maintain their values until the next request is made. The property change events are fired on whatever thread called the execute method -- most likely a background thread (not the EDT). Be careful of that when binding GUI widgets to these properties.

Constructor Detail

Session

public Session()

Creates a new Session. Automatically installs the CookieManager.

Session

public Session(boolean installCookieManager)

Creates a new Session. If installCookieManager is true, then the CookieManager is installed automatically. Otherwise, the CookieManager will not be installed, allowing you to use some other cookie manager.

Parameters:

installCookieManager -

Method Detail

setSslSecurityLevel

public void setSslSecurityLevel(Session.SecurityLevel level)

Sets the security level to use with SSL.

Parameters:

level - one of High, Medium, or Low. Low will not prompt or fail for self signed certs. Medium will prompt for self signed certs. High will fall back on the default behavior, and simply fail for self signed certs.

getSslSecurityLevel

public final Session.SecurityLevel getSslSecurityLevel()

Gets the SecurityLevel used for SSL connections.

Returns:

the SecurityLevel

createURL

protected URL createURL(String surl)
                 throws MalformedURLException

This method exists for the sake of testing. I can create a url while testing even without having internet access by overriding this method to return an HttpURLConnection subclass that doesn't actually connect to the internet. I can then fake out all the operations of the URL connection. This method is not to be overridden by any classes other than the test class.

Parameters:

conn -

Returns:

Throws:

IOException

MalformedURLException
