Interface URLProcessor

All Known Implementing Classes:

NullURLProcessor, PageURLProcessor

public interface URLProcessor

This interface is intended for use by processors that will determine whether a given URL requires special treatment. Specifically, certain URLs refer to custom managed content pages. Others are setup as SEO friendly URLs for products. The ProcessURLFilter will check it's internal cache to determine which URL processor should be invoked for a passed in URL. If it is unable to find a matching processor in cache, then it will call each processor in turn to provide an attempt to process the URL. Created by bpolster.
