Parameters:

v - The request visitor.

p - Optional additional visitor parameter.

A result as specified by the visitor.

addField

CreateRequest addField(JsonPointer... fields)

Description copied from interface: Request

Adds one or more fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request.

Specified by:

addField in interface Request

Parameters:

fields - The fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request.

Returns:

This request.

addField

CreateRequest addField(String... fields)

Description copied from interface: Request

Adds one or more fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request.

Specified by:

addField in interface Request

Parameters:

fields - The fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request.

Returns:

This request.

getAdditionalParameter

String getAdditionalParameter(String name)

Description copied from interface: Request

Returns the additional parameter which should be used to control the behavior of this action request.

Specified by:

getAdditionalParameter in interface Request

Parameters:

name - The name of the additional parameter.

Returns:

The additional parameter which should be used to control the behavior of this action request

getAdditionalParameters

Map<String,String> getAdditionalParameters()

Description copied from interface: Request

Returns the additional parameters which should be used to control the behavior of this action request. The returned map may be modified if permitted by this action request.

Specified by:

getAdditionalParameters in interface Request

Returns:

The additional parameters which should be used to control the behavior of this action request (never null).

getContent

JsonValue getContent()

Returns the content of the JSON resource to be created.

Returns:

The content of the JSON resource to be created.

getFields

List<JsonPointer> getFields()

Description copied from interface: Request

Returns the list of fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request. The returned list may be modified if permitted by this query request. An empty list indicates that all fields should be included.

NOTE: field filtering alters the structure of a JSON resource and MUST only be performed once while processing a request. It is therefore the responsibility of front-end implementations (e.g. HTTP listeners, Servlets, etc) to perform field filtering. Request handler and resource provider implementations SHOULD NOT filter fields, but MAY choose to optimise their processing in order to return a resource containing only the fields targeted by the field filters.

Specified by:

getFields in interface Request

Returns:

The list of fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request (never null).

getNewResourceId

String getNewResourceId()

Returns the client provided ID of the resource to be created. The new resource ID will be appended to the resource path in order to obtain the full path of the new resource.

The new resource ID is optional and should be used in cases where the client wishes to determine the path of the resource to be created. If the new resource ID is not provided then the server will be responsible for generating the ID of the new resource.

Returns:

The client provided ID of the resource to be created, or null if the server should be responsible for generating the resource ID.
