15.10. Configure File Extensions
15.10.1. Map File Extensions to Media Types in the web.xml File
Some clients, like browsers, cannot use the Accept and Accept-Language headers to negotiate the representation's media type or language. RESTEasy can map file name suffixes to media types and languages to deal with this issue. Follow these steps to map media types to file extensions, in the web.xml file.
Procedure 15.4. Map Media Types to File Extensions
- Open the
web.xmlfile for the application in a text editor. - Add the context-param
resteasy.media.type.mappingsto the file, inside theweb-apptags:<context-param> <param-name>resteasy.media.type.mappings</param-name> </context-param> - Configure the parameter values. The mappings form a comma delimited list. Each mapping is delimited by a
::Example 15.16. Example Mapping
<context-param> <param-name>resteasy.media.type.mappings</param-name> <param-value>html : text/html, json : application/json, xml : application/xml</param-value> </context-param>
15.10.2. Map File Extensions to Languages in the web.xml File
Some clients, like browsers, cannot use the Accept and Accept-Language headers to negotiate the representation's media type or language. RESTEasy can map file name suffixes to media types and languages to deal with this issue. Follow these steps to map languages to file extensions, in the web.xml file.
Procedure 15.5. Map File Extensions to Languages in the web.xml File
- Open the
web.xmlfile for the application in a text editor. - Add the context-param
resteasy.language.mappingsto the file, inside theweb-apptags:<context-param> <param-name>resteasy.language.mappings</param-name> </context-param> - Configure the parameter values. The mappings form a comma delimited list. Each mapping is delimited by a
::Example 15.17. Example Mapping
<context-param> <param-name>resteasy.language.mappings</param-name> <param-value> en : en-US, es : es, fr : fr</param-name> </context-param>
