Thanks, can you actually send the actual class (Employee + Manager) (directly 
to me) ?

What is the @IgnoreProperty ? I've never heard of it, how do you use it ?
Regarding the exceptions handling :

Thanks Sergey for prompt reply

I changed the name of objects from
Product to Employee
and Namespace to Manager, in order to clearly convey my problem.

I was able to run the code with emsnamespace.namespaceId=5 as query param.

I've attached the WADL file. Also request you to please answer the remaining 
questions as well.
Also how can I send a collection in request param?


Thanks
Abhishek

Hi

Can you please post a sample resource class and this Employee object ?
@FormParams get translated to WADL parameters of type 'query'...FormParam("") should result in individual Employee properties such as 'manager' being listed as parameters, but I'd like to 'manager' actually refers to another complex object or not...

cheers, Sergey

Subject: how to send Nested object in RESTful webservice


I am planning to use CXF as my Webservice development framework. The java code is already written using spring and hibernate. The requirement is to expose the service layer in Model as web service and their method as web methods in probably both SOAP and REST.

As a proof of concept I found CXF to work excellently with my application but 
I've still some open issues/questions:


Questions specific to RESTful web services:


1.  We have @IgnoreProperty for SOAP based services what is the corresponding 
property for RESTful mode?
2.  How to send Nested object in REST?

Details: I've to add an employee which has a @ManyToOne relationship with the 
manager object. Now WADl says
<param name="manager" style="query" />.

How can I send the entire object as query parameter? I've used 
add(@FormParam("") Employee employee) web method to publish.

Or  Do I need to put any annotation over getManager() in my Employee pojo?


1.  How to do exception handling for REST like we have SOAPFault in soap based 
webservices


Question specific to General design:

In my web methods I am passing entire object while search/update. For now code is using only a few values inside the object and ignoring the rest. What should be the behavior in case of webservice as the client might pass values in request which are actually ignored by the web method. For this I just want to know what standard web service architecture recommends?

Thanks for help

Regards,
Abhishek
