Interface WadlGenerator

public interface WadlGenerator

A WadlGenerator creates artifacts related to wadl. This is designed as an interface, so that several implementations can decorate existing ones. One decorator could e.g. add references to definitions within some xsd for existing representations.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static class	WadlGenerator.ExternalGrammarDefinition	And internal storage object to store the grammar definitions and any type resolvers that are created along the way.
static interface	WadlGenerator.Resolver	Call back interface that the created external grammar can use to allow other parts of the code to attach the correct grammar information.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	attachTypes(ApplicationDescription description)	Process the elements in the WADL definition to attach schema types as required.
Application	createApplication()
WadlGenerator.ExternalGrammarDefinition	createExternalGrammar()	Perform any post create functions such as generating grammars.

Resource	createResource(Resource r, String path)
Resources	createResources()
List<Response>	createResponses(Resource r, ResourceMethod m)
String	getRequiredJaxbContextPath()	The jaxb context path that is used when the generated wadl application is marshalled to a file.
void	init()	Invoked before all methods related to wadl-building are invoked.
void	setWadlGeneratorDelegate(WadlGenerator delegate)	Sets the delegate that is decorated by this wadl generator.

Method Details

setWadlGeneratorDelegate

void setWadlGeneratorDelegate(WadlGenerator delegate)

Sets the delegate that is decorated by this wadl generator. Is invoked directly after this generator is instantiated before init() or any setter method is invoked.

Parameters:

delegate - the wadl generator to decorate

init

void init()
   throws Exception

Invoked before all methods related to wadl-building are invoked. This method is used in a decorator like manner, and therefore has to invoke this.delegate.init().

Throws:

IllegalStateException

jakarta.xml.bind.JAXBException

Exception

getRequiredJaxbContextPath

String getRequiredJaxbContextPath()

The jaxb context path that is used when the generated wadl application is marshalled to a file. This method is used in a decorator like manner. The result return the path (or a colon-separated list of package names) containing jaxb-beans that are added to wadl elements by this WadlGenerator, additionally to the context path of the decorated WadlGenerator (set by setWadlGeneratorDelegate(WadlGenerator).
If you do not use custom jaxb beans, then simply return _delegate.getRequiredJaxbContextPath(), otherwise return the delegate's #getRequiredJaxbContextPath() together with your required context path (separated by a colon):

_delegate.getRequiredJaxbContextPath() == null
     ? ${yourContextPath}
     : _delegate.getRequiredJaxbContextPath() + ":" + ${yourContextPath};

If you add the path for your custom jaxb beans, don't forget to add an ObjectFactory (annotated with XmlRegistry) to this package.

Returns:

simply the getRequiredJaxbContextPath() of the delegate or the getRequiredJaxbContextPath() + ":" + ${yourContextPath}.

createApplication

Application createApplication()

createResources

 ResourceMethod m,
 MediaType mediaType)

createResponses

List<Response> createResponses(Resource r,
 ResourceMethod m)

createParam

Param createParam(Resource r,
 ResourceMethod m,
 Parameter p)

createExternalGrammar

WadlGenerator.ExternalGrammarDefinition createExternalGrammar()

Perform any post create functions such as generating grammars.

Returns:

A map of extra files to the content of those file encoded in UTF-8

attachTypes

void attachTypes(ApplicationDescription description)

Process the elements in the WADL definition to attach schema types as required.

Parameters:

description - The root description used to resolve these entries
