Class ReadOnlyUserVariablesFilter

java.lang.Object

com.smartfoxserver.v2.controllers.filter.SysControllerFilter

com.smartfoxserver.v2.controllers.filter.ReadOnlyUserVariablesFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ISystemFilter

public class ReadOnlyUserVariablesFilter
extends SysControllerFilter

This filter can be added to any existing application to provide read-only User Variables.

By providing a list of User Variables names the filter will automatically discard all update/delete requests that match the passed variables list.

This of course affects only client-side requests, while server-side updates will not be subject to filtering. The filter works on a per-Zone basis, so each Zone that requires this feature will need its own filter.

Here's an example of how to initialize the filter inside the Zone Extension:

 public class MyExtension extends SFSExtension
 {
     public void init()
     {
         // Reset filter chain to clean previous filters
         getParentZone().resetSystemFilterChain();
          
         ISystemFilterChain filterChain = new SysControllerFilterChain();
                   ReadOnlyUserVariablesFilter filter = new ReadOnlyUserVariablesFilter(getParentZone(), Arrays.asList("alpha", "beta"));
         filterChain.addFilter("ReadOnlyUserVars", filter);
          
         // Plug the filter chain    
         getParentZone().setFilterChain(SystemRequest.SetUserVariables, filterChain);
     }
      
     public void destroy()
     {
         super.destroy();
     }
 }
