Method Detail

method

public java.lang.String method()

Returns the HTTP method this endpoint accepts

Returns:

the HTTP method this endpoint accepts

method

public <T extends Endpoint.Type> T method(java.lang.String value)

Set the HTTP method this endpoint accepts

Type Parameters:

T - this endpoint type

Parameters:

value - the HTTP method this endpoint accepts

Returns:

this

Returns:

this

matches

public boolean matches(java.lang.String url)

Returns true if the provided URL matches this endpoint

Parameters:

url - the URL to compare

Returns:

process

public abstract Data process(Message request)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

Processes the request and generates a response.

The generated response can be any of the following:

• null: a 204 response is sent
• an exception: it is the same as if you throw it
• a scalar data type: it is sent as-is with an 'application/octet-stream' mime type and a code 200
• a list or map data type: it is converted to its JSON representation and sent with an 'application/json' mime type and a code 200
• a special response data map containing:
  • isHttpResponse [required]: true [required]
  • code: the http status code to send. Default 200.
  • status: the http status text. If not specified, it will be derived from the response code.
  • mime: the mime type to send. Default 'application/octet-stream'.
  • body: the content to send (if a data map or list, then its JSON representation is used). Default to "".
  • headers: any http response headers to send as a data map.

Parameters:

request - the original message data

Returns:

the generated response

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if anything happens, the exception will be wrapped in an HttpException

export

public Data export()

Description copied from class: Entity

The default entity export implementation includes informational metadata fields as well as all declared Entity.parameters() and all declared Entity.relationships().

If there are potentially private or confidential data returned by the default implementation, you should override it and modify the result before returning it.

Note that you may provide your own custom implementation although it may introduce inconsistencies with the frontent application in case of unexpected format or missing information. Therefore, it is always prefeable to call super.export() and manipulate the result instead.

a public data representation of this class instance
