The DefaultServlet class is performing logic which belongs (and is already
there) in the HttpServletRequest implementation. It implements HTTP date
header parsing as follows...
// Parsing the HTTP Date
for (int i = 0; (date == null) && (i < formats.length); i++)
{
try {
date = formats[i].parse(headerValue);
} catch (ParseException e) {
;
}
}
The methods needing an HTTP date header should use the
HttpServletRequest.getDateHeader() method. If it is absolutely necessary
that this logic be inside the DefaultServlet class, then it should at least
be extracted into a private helper method (called parseDateHeader or
something), rather than repeated 4 times.
