UriBuilder (jersey-bundle 1.19.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder

Direct Known Subclasses:

UriBuilderImpl
```
public abstract class UriBuilder
extends java.lang.Object
```
URI template aware utility class for building URIs from their components. See Path.value() for an explanation of URI templates.
Builder methods perform contextual encoding of characters not permitted in the corresponding URI component following the rules of the application/x-www-form-urlencoded media type for query parameters and RFC 3986 for all other components. Note that only characters not permitted in a particular component are subject to encoding so, e.g., a path supplied to one of the path methods may contain matrix parameters or multiple path segments since the separators are legal characters and will not be encoded. Percent encoded values are also recognized where allowed and will not be double encoded.

URI templates are allowed in most components of a URI but their value is restricted to a particular component. E.g.
UriBuilder.fromPath("{arg1}").build("foo#bar");
would result in encoding of the '#' such that the resulting URI is "foo%23bar". To create a URI "foo#bar" use
UriBuilder.fromPath("{arg1}").fragment("{arg2}").build("foo", "bar")
instead. URI template names and delimiters are never encoded but their values are encoded when a URI is built. Template parameter regular expressions are ignored when building a URI, i.e. no validation is performed.

    Parameters:
    path - the path, may contain URI template parameters
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder
    
    Throws:

    Parameters:
    resource - a resource whose Path value will be used to obtain the path to append.
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if resource is null, or if resource is not annotated with Path
  - path
```
public abstract UriBuilder path(java.lang.Class resource,
              java.lang.String method)
                         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Append the path from a Path-annotated method to the existing path. When constructing the final path, a '/' separator will be inserted between the existing path and the supplied path if necessary. This method is a convenience shortcut to path(Method), it can only be used in cases where there is a single method with the specified name that is annotated with Path.
    
    Parameters:
    resource - the resource containing the method
    method - the name of the method whose Path value will be used to obtain the path to append
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if resource or method is null, or there is more than or less than one variant of the method annotated with Path
  - path
```
public abstract UriBuilder path(java.lang.reflect.Method method)
                         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```

    Parameters:
    method - a method whose Path value will be used to obtain the path to append to the existing path
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if method is null or is not annotated with a Path
  - segment
```
public abstract UriBuilder segment(java.lang.String... segments)
                            throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Append path segments to the existing path. When constructing the final path, a '/' separator will be inserted between the existing path and the first path segment if necessary and each supplied segment will also be separated by '/'. Existing '/' characters are encoded thus a single value can only represent a single URI path segment.
    
    Parameters:
    segments - the path segment values, each may contain URI template parameters
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if segments or any element of segments is null
  - replaceMatrix
```
public abstract UriBuilder replaceMatrix(java.lang.String matrix)
                                  throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
```
    Set the matrix parameters of the current final segment of the current URI path. This method will overwrite any existing matrix parameters on the current final segment of the current URI path. Note that the matrix parameters are tied to a particular path segment; subsequent addition of path segments will not affect their position in the URI path.
    
    Parameters:
    matrix - the matrix parameters, may contain URI template parameters. A null value will remove all matrix parameters of the current final segment of the current URI path.
    
    Returns:
    the updated UriBuilder

```
    Append a matrix parameter to the existing set of matrix parameters of the current final segment of the URI path. If multiple values are supplied the parameter will be added once per value. Note that the matrix parameters are tied to a particular path segment; subsequent addition of path segments will not affect their position in the URI path.
    
    Parameters:
    name - the matrix parameter name, may contain URI template parameters
    values - the matrix parameter value(s), each object will be converted to a String using its toString() method. Stringified values may contain URI template parameters.

    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if name or values is null

```
    Replace the existing value(s) of a matrix parameter on the current final segment of the URI path. If multiple values are supplied the parameter will be added once per value. Note that the matrix parameters are tied to a particular path segment; subsequent addition of path segments will not affect their position in the URI path.
    
    Parameters:
    name - the matrix parameter name, may contain URI template parameters
