I'm wondering if there's a way handle query params in a way similar to CXF
with an object instead of having to explicitly list out query params.
Additionally, even if I have to list them query params, I have a number of
GET methods with exactly the same set of queries and I'd like to avoid
duplication.
In CXF, I'd instead have a method with an (@QueryParam("") FooSearch search)
in a method and it would use reflection to instantiate that object and then
fill in data.
I'm going to have a large number of these and I'm having to copy and paste
every one of the params and then have handler that takes in each of the
headers and invokes the handler which instantiates the actual object I pass
to the mediation layer and back end of querying the database. I have at
least 10 methods and will likely have many more than that and will have to
repeat each param().name() combination. It is likely that future search
fields will also be added. This isn't just tedious, it is quite error prone
as any misspelling or mistake will break the code at runtime.
I tried putting the params before the .get() to see if I could at least make
it global specification without any luck. With CXF I'd also be able to use
the @WebMethod to do routing to invoke the correct route or method with toD
or by using a bean but now I have to create individual handlers for each
one.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
rest("/bar").get("/details")
.param().name("someId").type(RestParamType.query).required(false).endParam()
.param().name("ssn").type(RestParamType.query).required(false).endParam()
.param().name("anotherNumber").type(RestParamType.query).required(false).end
Param()
.description("Get all the by the bars.")
.outType(SomeClass.class)
.route().id("route-details")
.bean(BarHandler.class);
What I'd prefer, is something like this and perhaps it already exists?
rest("/bar").get("/details")
.param().name("search").type(RestParamType.query).type(FooSearch.class)
endParam()
.description("Get all the by the bars.")
.outType(SomeClass.class)
.route().id("route-details")
.bean(BarHandler.class);
The BarHandler class.
public Member search(@Header("someId") String someId, @Header("ssn")
String ssn, @Header("anotherNumber") String anotherNumber) {
new FooSearch(someId,ssn,anotherNumber)
Do something in here.
}
