45.3. Root resource classes
Overview
A root resource class is the entry point into a JAX-RS implemented RESTful Web service. It is decorated with a
@Path that specifies the root URI of the resources implemented by the service. Its methods either directly implement operations on the resource or provide access to sub-resources.
Requirements
In order for a class to be a root resource class it must meet the following criteria:
- The class must be decorated with the
@Pathannotation.The specified path is the root URI for all of the resources implemented by the service. If the root resource class specifies that its path is widgets and one of its methods implements theGETverb, then aGETon widgets invokes that method. If a sub-resource specifies that its URI is {id}, then the full URI template for the sub-resource is widgets/{id} and it will handle requests made to URIs like widgets/12 and widgets/42. - The class must have a public constructor for the runtime to invoke.The runtime must be able to provide values for all of the constructor's parameters. The constructor's parameters can include parameters decorated with the JAX-RS parameter annotations. For more information on the parameter annotations see Chapter 46, Passing Information into Resource Classes and Methods.
- At least one of the classes methods must either be decorated with an HTTP verb annotation or the
@Pathannotation.
Example
Example 45.3, “Root resource class” shows a root resource class that provides access to a sub-resource.
Example 45.3. Root resource class
package demo.jaxrs.server;
import javax.ws.rs.DELETE;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.PUT;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
@Path("/customerservice/") 1
public class CustomerService
{
public CustomerService() 2
{
...
}
@GET 3
public Customer getCustomer(@QueryParam("id") String id)
{
...
}
@DELETE
public Response deleteCustomer(@QueryParam("id") String id)
{
...
}
@PUT
public Response updateCustomer(Customer customer)
{
...
}
@POST
public Response addCustomer(Customer customer)
{
...
}
@Path("/orders/{orderId}/") 4
public Order getOrder(@PathParam("orderId") String orderId)
{
...
}
}
The class in Example 45.3, “Root resource class” meets all of the requirements for a root resource class.
- 1
- The class is decorated with the
@Pathannotation. The root URI for the resources exposed by the service is customerservice. - 2
- The class has a public constructor. In this case the no argument constructor is used for simplicity.
- 3
- The class implements each of the four HTTP verbs for the resource.
- 4
- The class also provides access to a sub-resource through the
getOrder()method. The URI for the sub-resource, as specified using the the@Pathannotation, is customerservice/order/id. The sub-resource is implemented by theOrderclass.For more information on implementing sub-resources see Section 45.5, “Working with sub-resources”.
