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.

  • 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}.
