Class OSDecoratorMapper

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DecoratorMapper

    public class OSDecoratorMapper
    extends AbstractDecoratorMapper
    The OSDecoratorMapper will map a suitable decorator based on the operating system of the remote client.

    OSDecoratorMapper works by checking to see if the "UA-OS" header was sent with the HTTP request. If it was, the class will check the value of the header with all the different os's the user has configured the Decorator Mapper to identify and, if a match is found, routes the request accordingly. Configuration is done using the sitemesh.xml file. The param name is a string literal (operating system name) you would like to match in the UA-OS header, and the value is what will be appended to the decorator name if the user is using that operating system
