WORequestHandler


Inherits from: NSObject
Package: com.apple.yellow.webobjects


Class Description


WORequestHandler is an abstract class that defines request handlers. A request handler is an object that can handle requests received by the WebObjects adaptor. All WebObjects applications have multiple request handlers that can handle certain types of requests. Three private request handlers are defined in the WebObjects framework:

These three request handlers handle most styles of requests that an application can typically receive. If you want to create your own style of request, then you should write your own WORequestHandler. Unless you write your own request handler, your code typically won't have to directly interact with WORequestHandler objects at all.
