Annotation Type Body

@Documented
 @Target(value=PARAMETER)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Inherited
public @interface Body

Annotation that can be applied to a parameter of a @RestMethod annotated method to identify it as the HTTP request body converted to a POJO.

Example:

@RestMethod(name=POST) public void doPostPerson(RestRequest req, RestResponse res, @Body Person person) { ... }

This is functionally equivalent to the following code...

@RestMethod(name=POST) public void doPostPerson(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) { Person person = req.getBody().asType(Person.class); ... }

Readers and InputStreams can also be specified as content parameters. When specified, any registered parsers are bypassed.

@RestMethod(name=POST) public void doPostPerson(@Header("Content-Type") String mediaType, @Body InputStream input) { ... }
