trigger postRequest
System trigger for handling any global post processing, such as closing a database or writing a log file.
| Declaration: | trigger postRequest
|
| Applies to: | Application Shell |
| Activation: | Activated after the requested operation and the postActivate trigger. It is only activated if the preRequest trigger returns a positive value, or if no exception was thrown by previous triggers and operations in the activation sequence of a web request. |
| Default behavior: | Executes done. |
| Behavior upon completion: | Setting $status has no effect on subsequent trigger processing. |
Description
The postRequest trigger allows global post-processing to be centralized in a single trigger. Generic ProcScript should be placed in this trigger, rather than being duplicated in all the components.
Typical tasks that could be performed in this trigger include using a close ProcScript statement to close the connection with any open databases, appending log records to a log file, or writing the contents of the message frame to the $webinfo output buffer to aid debugging in web applications.
