Configurable Properties

<p>
	As shown in previous sections, Juneau serializers and parsers are highly-configurable through properties.
	(See {@doc ConfigurableProperties})
</p>
<p>
	These properties can be defined for serializers and parsers registered on a REST resource via the following:
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oajr.annotation.Rest#properties() Rest(properties)} 
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.RestContextBuilder} - Various methods on the context builder.
</ul>
<h5 class='figure'>Example:</h5>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jk>import static</jk> org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.*;
	<jk>import static</jk> org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.*;
	<jk>import static</jk> org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer.*;

	<jc>// Servlet with properties applied</jc>
	<ja>@Rest</ja>(
		properties={
			<jc>// Bean properties should be sorted alphabetically.</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>BEAN_sortProperties</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>),
			
			<jc>// Nulls should not be serialized</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>SERIALIZER_trimNulls</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>),

			<jc>// Solidus characters should be escaped in JSON</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>JSON_escapeSolidus</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>)
		}
	)
	<jk>public</jk> MyRestServlet <jk>extends</jk> BasicRestServlet {...}
</p>
<p>
	The programmatic equivalent to this is:
</p>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jc>// Servlet with properties applied</jc>
	<ja>@Rest</ja>(...)
	<jk>public</jk> MyRestServlet <jk>extends</jk> BasicRestServlet {
	
		<jk>public</jk> MyRestServlet(RestContextBuilder builder) {
			
			builder
				.sortProperties();  <jc>// Note: RestContextBuilder extends from BeanContextBuilder</jc>
				.set(<jsf>SERIALIZER_trimNulls</jsf>, <jk>true</jk>);
				.set(<jsf>JSON_escapeSolidus</jsf>, <jk>true</jk>);
		}
	}
</p>
<p>
	Properties can also be overridden at the Java method level:
</p>
<ul class='javatree'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oajr.annotation.RestMethod#properties() RestMethod(properties)} 
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.RequestProperties} 
</ul>
<p class='bpcode w800'>
	<jc>// GET method with method-level properties</jc>
	<ja>@RestMethod</ja>(
		name=<jsf>GET</jsf>, path=<js>"/*"</js>,
		properties={
			<jc>// Bean properties should be sorted alphabetically.</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>BEAN_sortProperties</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>),
			
			<jc>// Nulls should not be serialized</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>SERIALIZER_trimNulls</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>),

			<jc>// Solidus characters should be escaped in JSON</jc>
			<ja>@Property</ja>(name=<jsf>JSON_escapeSolidus</jsf>, value=<js>"true"</js>)
		}
	<jk>public</jk> Object doGet() {
		...
	}
</p>
<ul class='seealso'>
	<li class='ja'>{@link oajr.annotation.Rest#flags() Rest(flags)} - Shorthand for boolean properties.
	<li class='ja'>{@link oajr.annotation.RestMethod#flags() RestMethod(flags)} - Shorthand for boolean properties.
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.RestContextProperties} 
	<li class='jc'>{@link oajr.RestMethodProperties} 
</ul>
