| Overloading HTTP Methods |
| |
| <p> |
| Through the use of the built-in <l>"method"</l> GET parameter, you can implement requests beyond the basic |
| REST http method types. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For example, the URL <l>"/sample/foo?method=BAR"</l> will cause the following method to be invoked... |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <ja>@RestMethod</ja>(name=<js>"BAR"</js>) |
| <jk>public void</jk> doBar(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) { |
| <jc>// Handle BAR requests</jc> |
| } |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To support overloaded methods, the {@link oajr.annotation.Rest#allowedMethodParams() @Rest(allowedMethodParams)} |
| setting must be enabled on your servlet. |
| </p> |
| <p class='bpcode w800'> |
| <ja>@Rest</ja>( |
| <jc>// Allow &method parameter on BAR requests</jc> |
| allowedMethodParams=<js>"BAR"</js> |
| ) |
| </p> |
