Reference and reference list
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.
Re: Reference and reference list
Hello Leshek,
I'm not sure the ReferenceList object is really helpful for you.
You can either code your representations (HTML and XML) manually or
use one of the templated representations (freemarker, velocity) or one
of the XML-related representations (JIBX, JAXB).
best regards,
Thierry Boileau

RE: Reference and reference list
Hi all,
A good compromise would be to create a ReferenceList subclass, overriding
the getWebRepresentation() method to return a FreeMarker
TemplateRepresentation instance for example where you could control the
content as you which.
