I am looking for reference and reference list guidance, examples ( I think).
At the first level of my service my URI pattern is simply AT the root my service is simply "/{type}"; In the root of my service I just started creating I would like to return a list of links to all available types. I would like the list to have a title and each link to have some descriptive label. I will need to do it in html and xml, but lets concentrate on html. Before starting to craft my HTML and XML "by hand" I looked around and looks to me ReferenceList is a good candidate to help. So in my Resource.represent I do something like: ReferenceList rl = new ReferenceList(); for (int i = 0; i < supportedTypes.length; i++) { Reference url = new Reference(getRequest().getRootRef()); url.addSegment(supportedTypes[i]); rl.add(url); } return rl.getWebRepresentation(); Any hints, example or doc pointes would be highly appreciated. I tried, but I think I do not understand the concepts I am dealing with. I would like to make it more informative, with the page title (instead of "List of references"), labels, the text for each URI, instead of dry URI. Here is what I get now: List of references http://localhost:9080/myrest/Type1 http://localhost:9080/myrest/Type2 ... I would like to get at least: List of links for lists of items of a specific type Type1 Type2 ... With URIs in the source.
