  • Element Details

    • path

      String path
      REST service path.

      If you do not specify a path, then the path is inferred from the Java method name.

      Example:

      // POST /pet @RemotePost public void postPet(...);

      Note that you can also use value() to specify the path in shortened form.

      • An absolute URL.
      • A relative URL interpreted as relative to the root URL defined on the RestClient and/or Remote.path().
      • No path.
      Returns:
      The annotation value.
      Default:
      ""

    • returns

      RemoteReturn returns
      The value the remote method returns.
      • RemoteReturn.BODY (default) - The body of the HTTP response converted to a POJO.
        The return type on the Java method can be any of the following:
        • void - Don't parse any response. Note that the method will still throw an exception if an error HTTP status is returned.
        • Any parsable POJO - The body of the response will be converted to the POJO using the parser defined on the RestClient.
        • Any POJO annotated with the @Response annotation. This allows for response beans to be used which also allows for OpenAPI-based parsing and validation.
        • HttpResponse - Returns the raw HttpResponse returned by the inner HttpClient.
        • Reader - Returns access to the raw reader of the response.
        • InputStream - Returns access to the raw input stream of the response.
      • RemoteReturn.STATUS - The HTTP status code on the response.
        The return type on the Java method can be any of the following:
        • int/Integer - The HTTP response code.
        • boolean/Boolean - true if the response code is <400
      Returns:
      The annotation value.
      Default:
      BODY

    • value

      String value
      REST path.

      Can be used to provide a shortened form for the path() value.

      The following examples are considered equivalent.

      // Normal form @RemotePost(path="/{propertyName}") // Shortened form @RemotePost("/{propertyName}")

      Returns:
      The annotation value.
      Default:
      ""
