Annotation Type Uri

@Documented @Target({TYPE,FIELD,METHOD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Inherited @Repeatable(Array.class) @ContextApply(Applier.class) public @interface Uri
Used to identify a class or bean property as a URI.

Can be used in the following locations:

  • Classes that should be treated as URIs when serialized.
  • Methods/fields whose values should be treated as URIs when serialized.
  • @Rest-annotated classes and @RestOp-annotated methods when an on() value is specified.

This annotation allows you to identify other classes that return URIs via toString() as URI objects.

      String[] on
      Dynamically apply this annotation to the specified class/method/fields.

      Used in conjunction with BeanContext.Builder.applyAnnotations(Class...) to dynamically apply an annotation to an existing class/method/field. It is ignored when the annotation is applied directly to class/method/fields.

      Valid patterns:
      • Classes:
        • Fully qualified:
          • "com.foo.MyClass"
        • Fully qualified inner class:
          • "com.foo.MyClass$Inner1$Inner2"
        • Simple:
          • "MyClass"
        • Simple inner:
          • "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2"
          • "Inner1$Inner2"
          • "Inner2"
      • Methods:
        • Fully qualified with args:
          • "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod(String,int)"
          • "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod(java.lang.String,int)"
          • "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod()"
        • Fully qualified:
          • "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod"
        • Simple with args:
          • "MyClass.myMethod(String,int)"
          • "MyClass.myMethod(java.lang.String,int)"
          • "MyClass.myMethod()"
        • Simple:
          • "MyClass.myMethod"
        • Simple inner class:
          • "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2.myMethod"
          • "Inner1$Inner2.myMethod"
          • "Inner2.myMethod"
      • Fields:
        • Fully qualified:
          • "com.foo.MyClass.myField"
        • Simple:
          • "MyClass.myField"
        • Simple inner class:
          • "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2.myField"
          • "Inner1$Inner2.myField"
          • "Inner2.myField"
      • A comma-delimited list of anything on this list.

    • onClass

      Class<?>[] onClass
      Dynamically apply this annotation to the specified classes.

      Identical to on() except allows you to specify class objects instead of a strings.

      Default:
