Interface WebService

All Superinterfaces:

Definable<WebService.Context>

@ServerSide
 @ExtensionPoint
public interface WebService
extends Definable<WebService.Context>

Defines a web service.

The classes implementing this extension point must be declared by Plugin.

How to use

 public class HelloWs implements WebService {
    @Override
   public void define(Context context) {
     NewController controller = context.createController("api/hello");
     controller.setDescription("Web service example");

     // create the URL /api/hello/show
     controller.createAction("show")
       .setDescription("Entry point")
       .setHandler(new RequestHandler() {
          @Override
         public void handle(Request request, Response response) {
           // read request parameters and generates response output
           response.newJsonWriter()
             .beginObject()
             .prop("hello", request.mandatoryParam("key"))
             .endObject()
             .close();
         }
      })
      .createParam("key").setDescription("Example key").setRequired(true);

    // important to apply changes
    controller.done();
   }
 }
 

Since version 5.5, a web service can call another web service to get some data. See Request.localConnector() provided by RequestHandler.handle(Request, Response).

Since:

4.2
