#218 ServletUtils

[Anonymous]

Currently, when I want to convert a ServletRequest or a ServletConfig to a PropertyReader instance, then the returned instance is unmodifiable.

I would like to be able to modify it, so I can remove, add or modify key-value pairs. It's currently quite a hassle to do this, since I have to copy it into a BasicPropertyReader (for example) and then I can modify it.

Suggested solution:
- Have a ServletUtils class in org.xins.common.servlet.
- Add a method: toProperties(ServletConfig)
- Add a method: toProperties(ServletRequest)
- Make both methods return a BasicPropertyReader

Let me know if you like it and want me to implement it.

That was from me (Ernst). SourceForge login system is behaving awkward, logging me out all the time...

Yes, I had a previous team leader who thought that every objects passed to the user should be immutable. So we have in XINS immutable request and result objects, immutable lists, XML elements and PropertyReader everywhere.

I've got a partial implementation in our Subversion repository.
