Enclosing class:

Response

public abstract static class Response.ResponseBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

A class used to build Response instances that contain metadata instead of or in addition to an entity. An initial instance may be obtained via static methods of the Response class, instance methods provide the ability to set metadata. E.g. to create a response that indicates the creation of a new resource:

@POST
 Response addWidget(...) {
   Widget w = ...
   URI widgetId = UriBuilder.fromResource(Widget.class)...
   return Response.created(widgetId).build();
 }

Several methods have parameters of type URI, UriBuilder provides convenient methods to create such values as does URI.create().

Where multiple variants of the same method are provided, the type of the supplied parameter is retained in the metadata of the built Response.

Constructor Detail

Response.ResponseBuilder

protected Response.ResponseBuilder()

Protected constructor, use one of the static methods of Response to obtain an instance.

Method Detail

newInstance

protected static Response.ResponseBuilder newInstance()

Create a new builder instance.

Returns:

a new ResponseBuilder

build

public abstract Response build()

Create a Response instance from the current ResponseBuilder. The builder is reset to a blank state equivalent to calling the ok method.

Returns:

a Response instance

clone

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder clone()

Create a copy of the ResponseBuilder preserving its state.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a copy of the ResponseBuilder

status

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder status(int status)

Set the status on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

status - the response status

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if status is less than 100 or greater than 599.

status

public Response.ResponseBuilder status(Response.StatusType status)

Set the status on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

status - the response status

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if status is null

status

public Response.ResponseBuilder status(Response.Status status)

Set the status on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

status - the response status

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if status is null

entity

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder entity(java.lang.Object entity)

Set the entity on the ResponseBuilder. It is the callers responsibility to wrap the actual entity with GenericEntity if preservation of its generic type is required.

Parameters:

entity - the response entity

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

type

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder type(MediaType type)

Set the response media type on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

type - the media type of the response entity, if null any existing value for type will be removed

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

type

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder type(java.lang.String type)

Set the response media type on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

type - the media type of the response entity, if null any existing value for type will be removed

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type cannot be parsed

variant

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder variant(Variant variant)

Set representation metadata on the ResponseBuilder. Equivalent to setting the values of content type, content language, and content encoding separately using the values of the variant properties.

Parameters:

variant - metadata of the response entity, a null value is equivalent to a variant with all null properties.

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

variants

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder variants(java.util.List<Variant> variants)

Add a Vary header that lists the available variants.

Parameters:

variants - a list of available representation variants, a null value will remove an existing value for vary.

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

language

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder language(java.lang.String language)

Set the language on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

language - the language of the response entity, if null any existing value for language will be removed

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

language

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder language(java.util.Locale language)

Set the language on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

language - the language of the response entity, if null any existing value for type will be removed

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

location

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder location(java.net.URI location)

Set the location on the ResponseBuilder.

Parameters:

location - the location. If a relative URI is supplied it will be converted into an absolute URI by resolving it relative to the base URI of the application (see UriInfo#getBaseUri). If null any existing value for location will be removed.

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

contentLocation

public abstract Response.ResponseBuilder contentLocation(java.net.URI location)

Set the content location on the ResponseBuilder.

Returns:

the updated ResponseBuilder

lastModified
