HTTP Part APIs

Request HTTP parts can also be retrieved programmatically through the following classes that can be passed in as parameters or access through RestRequest bean:

RequestHeaders RequestQueryParams RequestFormParams RequestPathParams

Example

@RestPost(...)
public Object myMethod(RequestHeaders headers) {

    // Add a default value.
    headers.addDefault("ETag", DEFAULT_UUID);

    // Get a header value as a POJO.
    UUID etag = headers.get("ETag").as(UUID.class).get();

    // Get a header as a standard HTTP part.
    ContentType contentType = headers.get(ContentType.class).orElse(ContentType.TEXT_XML);
}

Built in to these APIs are various convenience methods such as converting parts to different types or inline fluent assertions:

Example

// Inline fluent assertion and retrieval.
String foo = request
    .getHeader("Foo")
    .assertString().contains("bar")
    .get();
