      • getDevice

        public static final Device getDevice​(java.lang.String deviceType)
                                      throws DeviceNotFoundException
        Returns the device for the specified desktop type.
        Parameters:
        deviceType - the device type, such as ajax, xml and mil.
        Throws:
        DeviceNotFoundException - if not found.
        Since:
        3.0.0
      • getDeviceByClient

        public static final Device getDeviceByClient​(java.lang.String userAgent)

        Returns the device for the specified client. It invokes Device.isCompatible(java.lang.String) to return the correct device. If all devices returns null (means unknown), one of the devices returning null is returned. If all devices returns Boolean.FALSE, DeviceNotFoundException is thrown.
        Parameters:
        userAgent - represents a client. It is the user-agent header for HTTP-base client.
        Throws:
        DeviceNotFoundException - if not found.

      • setUnavailableMessage

        public static final java.lang.String setUnavailableMessage​(java.lang.String deviceType,
                                                                   java.lang.String msg)

      • getEmbedded

        public java.lang.String getEmbedded​(java.lang.String deviceType)
        Returns the content that shall be embedded to the output being generated to the client, or null if no embedded content.
        Since:
        3.0.6
      • addEmbedded

        public static void addEmbedded​(java.lang.String deviceType,
                                       java.lang.String content)
        Adds the content that shall be added to the output generated and sent to the client, when rending a desktop. What content can be embedded depends on the device. For Ajax devices, it can be anything that can be placed inside HTML HEAD, such as JavaScript codes.

        As the method name suggests, the embedded contents are accumulated and all generated to the output.

        3.0.6
      • getServerPushClass

        public static final java.lang.String getServerPushClass​(java.lang.String deviceType)
        Returns the class name that implements the server push feature.

        Default: null (the server-push feature is not available).

        The result is the same as the invocation of Device.getServerPushClass() against getDevice(java.lang.String), but this method will not load the device if it is not loaded yet.

        3.0.0
      • setServerPushClass

        Sets the name of the class that implements the server-push feature.
        Parameters:
        clsnm - the class name that implements the server push. If null, it means no server push is available.
        Returns:
        the previous class name, or null if not available.

        public static final java.lang.Object[] matches​(java.lang.String userAgent)
        Returns the name and version of the client if the given user agent matches any of the devices, or null if not matched or it is a standard browser request.

        It iterates all devices and invokes Device.matches(java.lang.String) one-by-one, then returns the first non-null return, if any.

        Parameters:
        userAgent - represents a client (i.e., HTTP's user-agent).
        Returns:
        a pair of objects or null. The first element of the pair is the name of the client (String), the second element is the version (Double, such as 3.5).
