Package com.invirgance.convirgance.web.service

Class HypermediaService

java.lang.Object
com.invirgance.convirgance.web.service.HypermediaService
All Implemented Interfaces:
Service
@Wiring public class HypermediaService extends Object implements Service
Provides a Hypermedia view for a resource, including handling of REST-like calls routed through verbs to account for only GET/POST being supported by HTML forms. Verbs are computed as the last component of the path and optionally provide both a view and a service handler. POST requests to a verb will call a configured service to handle the request and then redirect to a GET request to complete the Hypermedia rendering.

Parameters configured by this service will be received by pages called as regular HTTP request parameters. This allows configured parameters to be accessed by JSP pages as if they were in the url query string. e.g. ${param.id}, <%= request.getParameter("id") %>, etc.
