| @RestMethod |
| |
| <p> |
| REST Java methods are identified on REST servlets using the |
| {@link oajr.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod} annotation. |
| The annotation allows the framework to identify the available REST methods through reflection. |
| </p> |
| <h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja>(name=<jsf>GET</jsf>, path=<js>"/"</js>) |
| <jk>public</jk> String sayHello() { |
| <jk>return</jk> <js>"Hello world!"</js>; |
| } |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| When the <c>name</c> and/or <c>path</c> values are not specified, their values are inferred |
| from the Java method name. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The HTTP method can be inferred from the Java method by starting the method name with any of the following: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><c>get</c> |
| <li><c>put</c> |
| <li><c>post</c> |
| <li><c>delete</c> |
| <li><c>options</c> |
| <li><c>head</c> |
| <li><c>trace</c> |
| <li><c>patch</c> |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| If <c>path</c> is not defined, it's inferred from the Java method name (minus the prefix above). |
| </p> |
| |
| <h5 class='figure'>Examples:</h5> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="GET", path="/foo"</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja> |
| <jk>public</jk> String getFoo() {...} |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="DELETE", path="/foo"</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja> |
| <jk>public</jk> String deleteFoo() {...} |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="GET", path="/foo"</jc> |
| <jc>// "GET" is default</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja> |
| <jk>public</jk> String foo() {...} |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="GET", path="/"</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja>(path=<js>"/"</js>) |
| <jk>public</jk> String foo() {...} |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="GET", path="/"</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja> |
| <jk>public</jk> String get() {...} |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <jc>// Method="POST", path="/"</jc> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja> |
| <jk>public</jk> String post() {...} |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| If <c>name</c> and <c>path</c> are both specified, the Java method name can be anything. |
| </p> |
