HttpServletRequestListener in Vaadin 7

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8
1

Hi,

In Vaadin 6 there were HttpServletRequestListener interface with onRequestStart() and onRequestEnd() methods.
Where can I find this functionality in Vaadin 7?

Thanks

I know this probably won’t help your immediate needs, but I did figure out how to do this in 7.1. beta.


public class CustomVaadinServlet extends VaadinServlet {

    @Override
    protected VaadinServletService createServletService(DeploymentConfiguration deploymentConfiguration) throws ServiceException {
        VaadinServletService servletService = new VaadinServletService(this, deploymentConfiguration){
            
            @Override
            public void requestStart(VaadinRequest request, VaadinResponse response) {
                super.requestStart(request, response);
            }

            @Override
            public void requestEnd(VaadinRequest request, VaadinResponse response, VaadinSession session) {
                super.requestEnd(request, response, session);
            }
        };
        servletService.init();
        return servletService;
    }
}

That looks promising. Is it only available in 7.1? I can see that I can override createServletService() in 7.0.6, but it isn’t the same signature. Also, will this support a response.sendRedirect() in the requestStart() method, or should we be using the Page.getCurrent().setLocation(url) scheme to redirect?
