Root resources can declare sub-resources that will
match the unmatched part of the URI path
- Sub-resources method
A sub-resource method is decorated with both a @Path
annotation and one of the HTTP verb annotations. The subresource
method is directly responsible for handling a request
made on the resource using the specified HTTP verb. - Sub-resource locator
Sub-resource locators are not decorated with one of the
HTTP verb annotations and do not directly handle are request
on the sub-resource. Instead, a sub-resource locator returns
an instance of a resource class that can handle the request. - Sample
@Path("properties")
public class Props {
@GET
@Path("java.home")
Prop getProperty() {…}
@Path("{name}")
Object getProp(@PathParam("name")String
name){
return new Dyna(name); }
}
public class Dyna {
@GET Prop getProperty() {…}
}
GET http://.../context/properties/java.home
GET http://.../context/properties/java.tmp.dir
