Builder class.

  • Constructor Details

    • Builder

      protected Builder(Class<?> resourceClass, RestContext parentContext, jakarta.servlet.ServletConfig servletConfig)
      Constructor.
      Parameters:

      parentContext - The parent context if this is a child of another resource.
      servletConfig - The servlet config if available.

  • Method Details

    • allowedHeaderParams

      public RestContext.Builder allowedHeaderParams(String value)
      Allowed header URL parameters.

      When specified, allows headers such as "Accept" and "Content-Type" to be passed in as URL query parameters.
      For example:

      ?Accept=text/json&Content-Type=text/json

      Notes:
      • Useful for debugging REST interface using only a browser so that you can quickly simulate header values in the URL bar.
      • Header names are case-insensitive.
      • Use "*" to allow any headers to be specified as URL parameters.
      • Use "NONE" (case insensitive) to suppress inheriting a value from a parent class.
      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value for this setting.
      The default is the first value found:
      • System property "RestContext.allowedHeaderParams"
      • Environment variable "RESTCONTEXT_ALLOWEDHEADERPARAMS"
      • "Accept,Content-Type"

      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • allowedMethodHeaders

      public RestContext.Builder allowedMethodHeaders(String value)
      Allowed method headers.

      A comma-delimited list of HTTP method names that are allowed to be passed as values in an X-Method HTTP header to override the real HTTP method name.

      Allows you to override the actual HTTP method with a simulated method.
      For example, if an HTTP Client API doesn't support PATCH but does support POST (because PATCH is not part of the original HTTP spec), you can add a X-Method: PATCH header on a normal HTTP POST /foo request call which will make the HTTP call look like a PATCH request in any of the REST APIs.

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(allowedMethodHeaders="PATCH") public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.allowedMethodHeaders("PATCH"); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.allowedMethodHeaders("PATCH"); } }

      Notes:
      • Method names are case-insensitive.
      • Use "*" to represent all methods.
      • Use "NONE" (case insensitive) to suppress inheriting a value from a parent class.
      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value for this setting.
      The default is the first value found:
      • System property "RestContext.allowedMethodHeaders"
      • Environment variable "RESTCONTEXT_ALLOWEDMETHODHEADERS"
      • ""

      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • allowedMethodParams

      public RestContext.Builder allowedMethodParams(String value)
      Allowed method parameters.

      When specified, the HTTP method can be overridden by passing in a "method" URL parameter on a regular GET request.
      For example:

      ?method=OPTIONS

      Useful in cases where you want to simulate a non-GET request in a browser by simply adding a parameter.
      Also useful if you want to construct hyperlinks to non-GET REST endpoints such as links to OPTIONS pages.

      Note that per the HTTP specification, special care should be taken when allowing non-safe (POST, PUT, DELETE) methods to be invoked through GET requests.

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation. @Rest(allowedMethodParams="HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT") public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.allowedMethodParams("HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT"); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.allowedMethodParams("HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT"); } }

      Notes:
      • Format is a comma-delimited list of HTTP method names that can be passed in as a method parameter.
      • 'method' parameter name is case-insensitive.
      • Use "*" to represent all methods.
      • Use "NONE" (case insensitive) to suppress inheriting a value from a parent class.
      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value for this setting.
      The default is the first value found:
      • System property "RestContext.allowedMethodParams"
      • Environment variable "RESTCONTEXT_ALLOWEDMETHODPARAMS"
      • "HEAD,OPTIONS"

      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • annotations

      public RestContext.Builder annotations(Annotation... values)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Defines annotations to apply to specific classes and methods.

      Allows you to dynamically apply Juneau annotations typically applied directly to classes and methods. Useful in cases where you want to use the functionality of the annotation on beans and bean properties but do not have access to the code to do so.

      As a rule, any Juneau annotation with an on() method can be used with this setting.

      The following example shows the equivalent methods for applying the @Bean annotation:

      // Class with explicit annotation. @Bean(properties="street,city,state") public class A {...} // Class with annotation applied via @BeanConfig public class B {...} // Java REST method with @BeanConfig annotation. @RestGet(...) @Bean(on="B", properties="street,city,state") public void doFoo() {...}

      In general, the underlying framework uses this method when it finds dynamically applied annotations on config annotations. However, concrete implementations of annotations are also provided that can be passed directly into builder classes like so:

      // Create a concrete @Bean annotation. Bean annotation = BeanAnnotation.create(B.class).properties("street,city,state").build(); // Apply it to a serializer. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().annotations(annotation).build(); // Serialize a bean with the dynamically applied annotation. String json = serializer.serialize(new B());

      The following is the list of annotations builders provided that can be constructed and passed into the builder class:

      The syntax for the on() pattern match parameter depends on whether it applies to a class, method, field, or constructor. The valid pattern matches are:

    • apply

      public RestContext.Builder apply(AnnotationWorkList work)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Applies a set of applied to this builder.

      An AnnotationWork consists of a single pair of AnnotationInfo that represents an annotation instance, and AnnotationApplier which represents the code used to apply the values in that annotation to a specific builder.

      Example:

      // A class annotated with a config annotation. @BeanConfig(sortProperties="$S{sortProperties,false}") public class MyClass {...} // Find all annotations that themselves are annotated with @ContextPropertiesApply. Stream<AnnotationInfo<?>> annotations = ClassInfo.of(MyClass.class).getAnnotations().stream().filter(CONTEXT_APPLY_FILTER); VarResolverSession vrs = VarResolver.DEFAULT.createSession(); AnnotationWorkList work = AnnotationWorkList.of(vrs, annotations); // Apply any settings found on the annotations. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .apply(work) .build();

      Overrides:
      apply in class Context.Builder
      Parameters:
      work - The list of annotations and appliers to apply to this builder.
      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • applyAnnotations

      public RestContext.Builder applyAnnotations(Class<?>... from)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Same as Context.Builder.applyAnnotations(Object...) but explicitly specifies a class varargs to avoid compilation warnings.
      Overrides:
      applyAnnotations in class Context.Builder
      Parameters:
      from - The classes or methods on which the annotations are defined.
      Cannot contain null values.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • applyAnnotations

      public RestContext.Builder applyAnnotations(Object... from)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Applies any of the various @XConfig annotations on the specified classes or methods to this context.

      Any annotations found that themselves are annotated with ContextApply will be resolved and applied as properties to this builder. These annotations include:

      Annotations on classes are appended in the following order:

      1. On the package of this class.
      2. On interfaces ordered parent-to-child.
      3. On parent classes ordered parent-to-child.
      4. On this class.

      Annotations on methods are appended in the following order:

      1. On the package of the method class.
      2. On interfaces ordered parent-to-child.
      3. On parent classes ordered parent-to-child.
      4. On the method class.
      5. On this method and matching methods ordered parent-to-child.

      The default var resolver VarResolver.DEFAULT is used to resolve any variables in annotation field values.

      Example:

      // A class annotated with a config annotation. @BeanConfig(sortProperties="$S{sortProperties,false}") public class MyClass {...} // Apply any settings found on the annotations. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .applyAnnotations(MyClass.class) .build(); // A method annotated with a config annotation. public class MyClass { @BeanConfig(sortProperties="$S{sortProperties,false}") public void myMethod() {...} } // Apply any settings found on the annotations. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .applyAnnotations(MyClass.class.getMethod("myMethod")) .build();

      applyAnnotations in class Context.Builder
      Parameters:
      from - The classes or methods on which the annotations are defined. Can be any of the following types:
      Returns:
      This object.

    • beanContext

      public BeanContext.Builder beanContext()
      Returns the bean context sub-builder.

      The bean context is used to retrieve metadata on Java beans.

      The default bean context can overridden via any of the following:

      • Injected via bean store.
      Returns:
      The bean context sub-builder.

    • beanStore

      public BeanStore beanStore()
      Returns the bean store in this builder.

      The bean store is a simple storage database for beans keyed by type and name.

      The bean store is created with the parent root bean store as the parent, allowing any beans in the root bean store to be available in this builder. The root bean store typically pulls from an injection framework such as Spring to allow injected beans to be used.

      The default bean store can be overridden via any of the following:

      Returns:
      The bean store in this builder.

    • beanStore

      public <T> RestContext.Builder beanStore(Class<T> beanType, T bean)
      Adds a bean to the bean store of this class.

      Equivalent to calling:

      builder.beanStore().add(beanType, bean);

      See Also:
      Type Parameters:
      T - The class to associate this bean with.
      Parameters:
      beanType - The class to associate this bean with.
      bean - The bean.
      Can be null (a null bean will be stored in the bean store).
      Returns:
      This object.

    • beanStore

      public <T> RestContext.Builder beanStore(Class<T> beanType, T bean, String name)

      Type Parameters:
      T - The class to associate this bean with.
      Parameters:
      beanType - The class to associate this bean with.
      bean - The bean.
      Can be null (a null bean will be stored in the bean store).
      name - The bean name if this is a named bean.
      Can be null (bean will be stored as an unnamed bean).
      Returns:
      This object.

    • build

      public RestContext build()
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Build the object.
      Overrides:
      build in class Context.Builder
      Returns:
      The built object.

    • cache

      public RestContext.Builder cache(Cache<HashKey,? extends Context> value)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Specifies a cache to use for hashkey-based caching.

      When a cache is specified, contexts with the same hash key will be reused from the cache instead of creating new instances. This improves performance when building multiple contexts with identical configurations.

      If null is specified, caching is disabled and each call to Context.Builder.build() will create a new context instance.

      Overrides:
      cache in class Context.Builder
      Parameters:
      value - The cache.
      Can be null (disables caching, each build creates a new instance).
      Returns:
      This object.

    • callLogger

      public BeanCreator<CallLogger> callLogger()
      Returns the call logger bean creator.

      Specifies the logger to use for logging of HTTP requests and responses.

      Example:

      // Our customized logger. public class MyLogger extends BasicCallLogger { public MyLogger(BeanStore beanStore) { super(beanStore); } @Override protected void log(Level level, String msg, Throwable e) { // Handle logging ourselves. } } // Option #1 - Registered via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(callLogger=MyLogger.class) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Registered via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.callLogger(MyLogger.class); } }

      The default call logger can overridden via any of the following:

      • Injected via bean store.
      • Class annotation: @Rest(callLogger)
      • @RestInject-annotated method:

        @RestInject public [static] CallLogger myMethod(<args>) {...}

        Args can be any injected bean.
      Notes:
      • The default call logger if not specified is BasicCallLogger.
      • The resource class itself will be used if it implements the CallLogger interface and not explicitly overridden via this annotation.
      • When defined as a class, the implementation must have one of the following constructor:
        • public T(BeanStore)
      • Inner classes of the REST resource class are allowed.
      See Also:
      Returns:
      The call logger sub-builder.
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - If init(Supplier) has not been called.

    • callLogger

      public RestContext.Builder callLogger(CallLogger value)
      Specifies the call logger for this class.

      Equivalent to calling:

      builder.callLogger().impl(value);

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value.
      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • callLogger

      public RestContext.Builder callLogger(Class<? extends CallLogger> value)
      Specifies the call logger for this class.

      Equivalent to calling:

      builder.callLogger().type(value);

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value.
      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • child

      public RestContext.Builder child(String path, Object child)
      Add a child REST resource.

      Shortcut for adding a single child to this resource.

      This can be used for resources that don't have a @Rest(path) annotation.

      Parameters:
      path - The child path relative to the parent resource URI.
      Cannot be null.
      child - The child to add to this resource.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • children

      public RestContext.Builder children(Object... values)
      Child REST resources.

      Defines children of this resource.

      A REST child resource is simply another servlet or object that is initialized as part of the ascendant resource and has a servlet path directly under the ascendant resource object path.
      The main advantage to defining servlets as REST children is that you do not need to define them in the web.xml file of the web application.
      This can cut down on the number of entries that show up in the web.xml file if you are defining large numbers of servlets.

      Child resources must specify a value for @Rest(path) that identifies the subpath of the child resource relative to the ascendant path UNLESS you use the child(String, Object) method to register it.

      Child resources can be nested arbitrarily deep using this technique (i.e. children can also have children).

      Servlet initialization:

      A child resource will be initialized immediately after the ascendant servlet/resource is initialized.
      The child resource receives the same servlet config as the ascendant servlet/resource.
      This allows configuration information such as servlet initialization parameters to filter to child resources.

      Runtime behavior:

      As a rule, methods defined on the HttpServletRequest object will behave as if the child servlet were deployed as a top-level resource under the child's servlet path.
      For example, the getServletPath() and getPathInfo() methods on the HttpServletRequest object will behave as if the child resource were deployed using the child's servlet path.
      Therefore, the runtime behavior should be equivalent to deploying the child servlet in the web.xml file of the web application.

      Example:

      // Our child resource. @Rest(path="/child") public class MyChildResource {...} // Option #1 - Registered via annotation. @Rest(children={MyChildResource.class}) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Registered via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.children(MyChildResource.class); // Use a pre-instantiated object instead. builder.child("/child", new MyChildResource()); } // Option #3 - Registered via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.children(MyChildResource.class); } }

      Notes:
      • When defined as classes, instances are resolved using the registered bean store which by default is BeanStore which requires the class have one of the following constructors:
        • public T(RestContext.Builder)
        • public T()
      See Also:
      Parameters:
      values - The child resources to add.
      Cannot contain null values.
      Objects can be any of the specified types:
      • A class that has a constructor described above.
      • An instantiated resource object (such as a servlet object instantiated by a servlet container).
      • An instance of RestChild containing an instantiated resource object and a subpath.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • clientVersionHeader

      public RestContext.Builder clientVersionHeader(String value)
      Client version header.

      Specifies the name of the header used to denote the client version on HTTP requests.

      The client version is used to support backwards compatibility for breaking REST interface changes.
      Used in conjunction with @RestOp(clientVersion) annotation.

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(clientVersionHeader="$C{REST/clientVersionHeader,Client-Version}") public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.clientVersionHeader("Client-Version"); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.clientVersionHeader("Client-Version"); } }

      // Call this method if Client-Version is at least 2.0. // Note that this also matches 2.0.1. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="2.0") public Object method1() { ... } // Call this method if Client-Version is at least 1.1, but less than 2.0. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="[1.1,2.0)") public Object method2() { ... } // Call this method if Client-Version is less than 1.1. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="[0,1.1)") public Object method3() { ... }

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value for this setting.
      The default is the first value found:
      • System property "RestContext.clientVersionHeader"
      • Environment variable "RESTCONTEXT_CLIENTVERSIONHEADER"
      • "Client-Version"

      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • config

      public Config config()
      Returns the external configuration file for this resource.

      The config file contains arbitrary configuration information that can be accessed by this class, usually via $C variables.

      The default config can be overridden via any of the following:

      • Injected via bean store.
      • Class annotation: @Rest(config)
      • @RestInject-annotated method:

        @RestInject public [static] Config myMethod(<args>) {...}

        Args can be any injected bean.

      If a config file is not set up, then an empty config file will be returned that is not backed by any file.

      This bean can be accessed directly via RestContext.getConfig() or passed in as a parameter on a RestOp-annotated method.

      See Also:
      Returns:
      The external configuration file for this resource.

    • config

      public RestContext.Builder config(Config value)
      Overwrites the default config file with a custom config file.

      By default, the config file is determined using the @Rest(config) annotation. This method allows you to programmatically override it with your own custom config file.

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new config file.
      Cannot be null.
      Returns:
      This object.

    • consumes

      public Optional<List<MediaType>> consumes()
      Returns the media types consumed by this resource if it's manually specified.
      Returns:
      The media types.

    • consumes

      public RestContext.Builder consumes(MediaType... values)
      Supported content media types.

      Overrides the media types inferred from the parsers that identify what media types can be consumed by the resource.
      An example where this might be useful if you have parsers registered that handle media types that you don't want exposed in the Swagger documentation.

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(consumes={"$C{REST/supportedConsumes,application/json}"}) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.consumes(false, "application/json") } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.consumes(false, "application/json"); } }

      This affects the returned values from the following:

      See Also:

    • defaultClasses

      public DefaultClassList defaultClasses()
      Returns the default implementation class list.

      This defines the implementation classes for a variety of bean types.

      Default classes are inherited from the parent REST object. Typically used on the top-level RestContext.Builder to affect class types for that REST object and all children.

      Modifying the default class list on this builder does not affect the default class list on the parent builder, but changes made here are inherited by child builders.

      Returns:
      The default implementation class list.

    • defaultClasses

      public RestContext.Builder defaultClasses(Class<?>... values)

    • defaultRequestAttributes

      public RestContext.Builder defaultRequestAttributes(NamedAttribute... values)
      Default request attributes.

      Specifies default values for request attributes if they're not already set on the request. Affects values returned by the following methods:

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(defaultRequestAttributes={"Foo=bar", "Baz: $C{REST/myAttributeValue}"}) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder .defaultRequestAttributes( BasicNamedAttribute.of("Foo", "bar"), BasicNamedAttribute.of("Baz", true) ); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.defaultRequestAttribute("Foo", "bar"); } // Override at the method level. @RestGet(defaultRequestAttributes={"Foo: bar"}) public Object myMethod() {...} }

    • defaultRequestHeaders

      public HeaderList defaultRequestHeaders()
      Returns the default request headers.
      Returns:
      The default request headers.

    • defaultRequestHeaders

      public RestContext.Builder defaultRequestHeaders(Header... values)
      Default request headers.

      Specifies default values for request headers if they're not passed in through the request.

      Notes:
      • Affects values returned by HttpServletRequestWrapper.getHeader(String) when the header is not present on the request.
      • The most useful reason for this annotation is to provide a default Accept header when one is not specified so that a particular default Serializer is picked.
      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(defaultRequestHeaders={"Accept: application/json", "My-Header=$C{REST/myHeaderValue}"}) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder .defaultRequestHeaders( Accept.of("application/json"), BasicHeader.of("My-Header", "foo") ); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.defaultRequestHeaders(Accept.of("application/json")); } // Override at the method level. @RestGet(defaultRequestHeaders={"Accept: text/xml"}) public Object myMethod() {...} }

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      values - The headers to add.
      Cannot contain null values.

      Returns the default response headers.
      Returns:
      The default response headers.

    • defaultResponseHeaders

      public RestContext.Builder defaultResponseHeaders(Header... values)
      Default response headers.

      Specifies default values for response headers if they're not set after the Java REST method is called.

      Notes:
      • This is equivalent to calling RestResponse.setHeader(String, String) programmatically in each of the Java methods.
      • The header value will not be set if the header value has already been specified (hence the 'default' in the name).
      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(defaultResponseHeaders={"Content-Type: $C{REST/defaultContentType,text/plain}","My-Header: $C{REST/myHeaderValue}"}) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder .defaultResponseHeaders( ContentType.of("text/plain"), BasicHeader.ofPair("My-Header: foo") ); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.defaultResponseHeaders(ContentType.of("text/plain")); } }

      key - The setting key.
      Cannot be null.
      value - The setting value.
      Returns:
      This object.
      See Also:

    • defaultSettings

      public DefaultSettingsMap defaultSettings()
      Returns the default settings map.

      Default settings are inherited from the parent REST object. Typically used on the top-level RestContext.Builder to affect settings for that REST object and all children.

      Modifying the default settings map on this builder does not affect the default settings on the parent builder, but changes made here are inherited by child builders.

      Returns:
      The default settings map.

    • destroyMethods

      public MethodList destroyMethods()
      Returns the destroy method list.
      Returns:
      The destroy method list.

    • disableContentParam

      public RestContext.Builder disableContentParam()
      Disable content URL parameter.

      When enabled, the HTTP content content on PUT and POST requests can be passed in as text using the "content" URL parameter.
      For example:

      ?content=(name='John%20Smith',age=45)

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(disableContentParam="$C{REST/disableContentParam,true}") public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.disableContentParam(); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.disableContentParam(); } }

      Notes:

      This object.

    • disableContentParam

      public RestContext.Builder disableContentParam(boolean value)
      Disable content URL parameter.

    • messages

      public Messages.Builder messages()
      Returns the messages sub-builder.

      Messages beans are wrappers around resource bundles containing localized messages.

      By default, the resource bundle name is assumed to match the class name. For example, given the class MyClass.java, the resource bundle is assumed to be MyClass.properties. This property allows you to override this setting to specify a different location such as MyMessages.properties by specifying a value of "MyMessages".

      Resource bundles are searched using the following base name patterns:

      • "{package}.{name}"
      • "{package}.i18n.{name}"
      • "{package}.nls.{name}"
      • "{package}.messages.{name}"

      This annotation is used to provide request-localized (based on Accept-Language) messages for the following methods:

      Request-localized messages are also available by passing either of the following parameter types into your Java method:

      • ResourceBundle - Basic Java resource bundle.
      • Messages - Extended resource bundle with several convenience methods.
      The value can be a relative path like "nls/Messages", indicating to look for the resource bundle "com.foo.sample.nls.Messages" if the resource class is in "com.foo.sample", or it can be an absolute path like "com.foo.sample.nls.Messages"
      Examples:

      # Contents of org/apache/foo/nls/MyMessages.properties HelloMessage = Hello {0}!

      // Contents of org/apache/foo/MyResource.java @Rest(messages="nls/MyMessages") public class MyResource {...} @RestGet("/hello/{you}") public Object helloYou(RestRequest req, Messages messages, @Path("name") String you) { String string; // Get it from the RestRequest object. string = req.getMessage("HelloMessage", you); // Or get it from the method parameter. string = messages.getString("HelloMessage", you); // Or get the message in a locale different from the request. string = messages.forLocale(Locale.UK).getString("HelloMessage", you); return string; } }

      The default messages can overridden via any of the following:

      • Injected via bean store.
      • Class annotation: @Rest(messages)
      • @RestInject-annotated method:

        @RestInject public [static] Messages myMethod(<args>) {...}

        Args can be any injected bean including Messages.Builder, the default builder.
      Notes:
      • Mappings are cumulative from super classes.
        Therefore, you can find and retrieve messages up the class-hierarchy chain.

      Notes:
      • This annotation is ignored on top-level servlets (i.e. servlets defined in web.xml files).
        Therefore, implementers can optionally specify a path value for documentation purposes.
      • Typically, this setting is only applicable to resources defined as children through the @Rest(children) annotation.
        However, it may be used in other ways (e.g. defining paths for top-level resources in microservices).
      • Slashes are trimmed from the path ends.
        As a convention, you may want to start your path with '/' simple because it make it easier to read.
      • This path is available through the following method:
      See Also:
      Parameters:

    • thrownStore

      public RestContext.Builder thrownStore(ThrownStore value)
      Specifies the thrown store for this class.

      Equivalent to calling:

      builder.thrownStore().impl(value);

    • type

      public RestContext.Builder type(Class<? extends Context> value)
      Description copied from class: Context.Builder
      Associates a context class with this builder.

      This is the type of object that this builder creates when the Context.Builder.build() method is called.

      By default, it's the outer class of where the builder class is defined.

      If null is set, Context.Builder.build() will throw an exception. The default constructor automatically sets this to the outer class, so null should only be set explicitly if you want to override the default.

      Overrides:
      type in class Context.Builder
      Parameters:
      value - The context class that this builder should create.
      Can be null (will cause Context.Builder.build() to throw an exception).
      Returns:
      This object.

    • uriAuthority

      public RestContext.Builder uriAuthority(String value)
      Resource authority path.

      This setting is useful if you want to resolve relative URIs to absolute paths and want to explicitly specify the hostname/port.

      Affects the following methods:

      If you do not specify the authority, it is automatically calculated via the following:

      String scheme = request.getScheme(); int port = request.getServerPort(); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(request.getScheme()).append("://").append(request.getServerName()); if (! (port == 80 && "http".equals(scheme) || port == 443 && "https".equals(scheme))) sb.append(':').append(port); authorityPath = sb.toString();

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest( path="/servlet", uriAuthority="$C{REST/authorityPathOverride,http://localhost:10000}" ) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.uriAuthority("http://localhost:10000"); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.uriAuthority("http://localhost:10000"); } }

      Affects the following methods:

      Example:

      // Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest( path="/servlet", uriContext="$C{REST/contextPathOverride,/foo}" ) public class MyResource { // Option #2 - Defined via builder passed in through resource constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { // Using method on builder. builder.uriContext("/foo"); } // Option #3 - Defined via builder passed in through init method. @RestInit public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder.uriContext("/foo"); } }

      See Also:
      Parameters:
      value - The new value for this setting.
      The default is the first value found:
