Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply, I'll have a look at the Struts2 AngularJS
archetype
But I meant AngularJS interceptor (
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http) which is still client
side, AngularJS interceptor is meant to intercept {name:"abc",address:"abc"}
and change it to {customer:{name:"abc",address:"abc"}}
I'm looking at the source code for the REST plugin, looks like the magic
happens in ContentTypeInterceptor, this gets the payload from http
inputstream then maps it to the action. If I want to use
{name:"abc",address:"abc"},
looks like I have to use @ModelDriven ?
Is it fine to just use REST plugin's ContentTypeInterceptor and the
JsonLibHandler and include them in my web application ?
i.e. are they fairly standalone-ish ? or do they have dependencies with
other components in the REST plugin ?
