Orckestra CMS allow you to build a RenderingResponseHandler plug-in. It enables developers to intercept page and media requests and control if the request should be accepted or redirected and if the rendered resource is allowed to be publicly cached.

Namespace: Composite.Core.WebClient.Renderings.Plugins.RenderingResponseHandler
Assembly: Composite (in Composite.dll) Version: 5.3.6135.33083

Syntax

C#
public interface IDataRenderingResponseHandler : IRenderingResponseHandler
Visual Basic
Public Interface IDataRenderingResponseHandler _
	Inherits IRenderingResponseHandler
Visual C++
public interface class IDataRenderingResponseHandler : IRenderingResponseHandler

Remarks

To create a RenderingResponseHandler plug-in:
  1. In Visual Studio, create a new "Class Library" project (or use an existing project if you have one).
  2. Add references to the following assemblies ( Browse and located on your web site):
    • /bin/Composite.dll
    • /bin/Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
  3. In each assembly reference's properties, set Copy Local to 'False'.
  4. Add a reference to System.Configuration (.NET)
  5. Create a new class for your plug-in (see the source code example below).
  6. Compile the project and copy the DLL to the website /bin folder.
To register a RenderingResponseHandler plug-in:
  1. Edit the file /App_Data/Composite/Composite.config.
  2. Locate the element .
  3. Add a new element inside the <RenderingResponseHandlerPlugins /> element: <add name="Sample" type="TypeName, AssemblyName"/> changing 'Sample' to a name relevant to your project and 'TypeName, AssemblyName' to the fully qualified class name of your plug-in class.
  4. Restart the C1 site (recycle app pool or use C1 Console; Tools | Restart Server)

Examples

Sample plugin:
CopyC#
using System;
using Composite.Data;
using Composite.Data.Types;
using Composite.Core.Logging;
using Composite.Core.WebClient.Renderings;
using Composite.Core.WebClient.Renderings.Plugins.RenderingResponseHandler;

using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration;


namespace RenderingResponseHandlerSample
{
    [ConfigurationElementType(typeof(NonConfigurableRenderingResponseHandler))]
    public class RenderingResponseHandlerPluginSample : IDataRenderingResponseHandler
    {
        // Have the TCP logger running to see the string being logged - see Composite.Tools.TcpCustomTraceListener
        // This sample will redirect requests for pages and media containing the word 'secret' in their title / path.
        public RenderingResponseHandlerResult GetDataResponseHandling(DataEntityToken requestedItemEntityToken)
        {
            IData requestedData = requestedItemEntityToken.Data;

            bool redirect = false;

            if (requestedData is IPage)
            {
                IPage requestedPage = (IPage)requestedData;
                LoggingService.LogVerbose("Sample", string.Format("Request for page '{0}'.", requestedPage.Title));

                if (requestedPage.Title.ToLower().Contains("secret"))
                {
                    redirect = true;
                }
            }
            else if (requestedData is IMediaFile)
            {
                IMediaFile requestedMediaFile = (IMediaFile)requestedData;
                LoggingService.LogVerbose("Sample", string.Format("Request for media file '{0}'.", requestedMediaFile.CompositePath));

                if (requestedMediaFile.CompositePath.ToLower().Contains("secret"))
                {
                    redirect = true;
                }
            }

            if (redirect)
            {
                return new RenderingResponseHandlerResult
                {
                    PreventPublicCaching = true,
                    RedirectRequesterTo = new Uri("http://docs.composite.net/")
                };
            }
            else
            {
                return new RenderingResponseHandlerResult
                {
                    PreventPublicCaching = false
                };
            }
        }
    }
}
 Sample configuration snippet from Composite.config:
CopyC#
<Composite.Core.WebClient.Renderings.Plugins.RenderingResponseHandlerConfiguration> 
  <RenderingResponseHandlerPlugins> 
    <add name="Sample" type="RenderingResponseHandlerSample.RenderingResponseHandlerPluginSample, RenderingResponseHandlerSample" /> 
  </RenderingResponseHandlerPlugins> 
</Composite.Core.WebClient.Renderings.Plugins.RenderingResponseHandlerConfiguration>
