I am looking for reference and reference list guidance, examples ( I think).
At the first level of my service my URI pattern is simply AT the root my
service is simply "/{type}";
In the root of my service I just started creating I would like to return a
list of links to all available types. I would like the list to have a title
and each link to have some descriptive label. I will need to do it in html
and xml, but lets concentrate on html. Before starting to craft my HTML and
XML "by hand" I looked around and looks to me ReferenceList is a good
candidate to help.
So in my Resource.represent I do something like:
ReferenceList rl = new ReferenceList();
for (int i = 0; i < supportedTypes.length; i++) {
Reference url = new Reference(getRequest().getRootRef());
url.addSegment(supportedTypes[i]);
rl.add(url);
}
return rl.getWebRepresentation();
Any hints, example or doc pointes would be highly appreciated. I tried, but
I think I do not understand the concepts I am dealing with.
I would like to make it more informative, with the page title (instead of
"List of references"), labels, the text for each URI, instead of dry URI.
Here is what I get now:
List of references
http://localhost:9080/myrest/Type1
http://localhost:9080/myrest/Type2
...
I would like to get at least:
List of links for lists of items of a specific type
Type1
Type2
...
With URIs in the source.
