Interface ResourceMethodDispatcher.Provider

All Known Implementing Classes:

Enclosing interface:
ResourceMethodDispatcher

public static interface ResourceMethodDispatcher.Provider
Provider interface for creating a resource method dispatcher instances. A provider examines the model of the Web resource method and determines if an invoker can be created for that Web resource method.

Multiple providers can specify the support for different Web resource method patterns, ranging from simple patterns (such as void return and input parameters) to complex patterns that take type URI and query arguments and HTTP request headers as typed parameters.

Resource method dispatcher provider implementations can be registered in Jersey application by supplying a custom HK2 Binder that binds the custom service implementation(s) to the ResourceMethodDispatcher.Provider contract.
