Overloading HTTP Methods

Through the use of the built-in method GET parameter, you can implement requests beyond the basic REST http method types.

For example, the URL /sample/foo?method=BAR will cause the following method to be invoked...

@RestOp(method="BAR")
public void doBar(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) {
    // Handle BAR requests
}

To support overloaded methods, the @Rest(allowedMethodParams) setting must be enabled on your servlet.

@Rest(
    // Allow &method parameter on BAR requests
    allowedMethodParams="BAR"
)
