ResourceHandler

public ResourceHandler()

default constructor that resolves the generic type for this class

Method Detail

createResource

public abstract T createResource(T resource,
                                 Authorization authorization)

permanently create a resource

Parameters:

resource - the resource to store

authorization - should return the roles of an user and may contain arbitrary data needed in the handler implementation

Returns:

the stored resource with additional meta information as id, created, lastModified timestamps etc.

getResource

public abstract T getResource(String id,
                              Authorization authorization)

extract a resource by its id

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource to return

authorization - should return the roles of an user and may contain arbitrary data needed in the handler implementation

Returns:

the found resource

listResources

public abstract PartialListResponse<T> listResources(long startIndex,
                                                     int count,
                                                     FilterNode filter,
                                                     SchemaAttribute sortBy,
                                                     SortOrder sortOrder,
                                                     List<SchemaAttribute> attributes,
                                                     List<SchemaAttribute> excludedAttributes,
                                                     Authorization authorization)

queries several resources based on the following values

Parameters:

startIndex - the start index that has a minimum value of 1. So the given startIndex here will never be lower than 1

count - the number of entries that should be returned to the client. The minimum value of this value is 0.

filter - the parsed filter expression if the client has given a filter

sortBy - the attribute value that should be used for sorting

sortOrder - the sort order

attributes - the attributes that should be returned to the client. If the client send this parameter the evaluation of these parameters might help to improve database performance by omitting unnecessary table joins

excludedAttributes - the attributes that should NOT be returned to the client. If the client send this parameter the evaluation of these parameters might help to improve database performance by omitting unnecessary table joins

authorization - should return the roles of an user and may contain arbitrary data needed in the handler implementation

Returns:

a list of several resources and a total results value. You may choose to leave the totalResults value blank but this might lead to erroneous results on the client side

updateResource

public abstract T updateResource(T resourceToUpdate,
                                 Authorization authorization)

should update an existing resource with the given one. Simply use the id of the given resource and override the existing one with the given one. Be careful there have been no checks in advance for you if the resource to update does exist. This has to be done manually.

NOTE:
this method is also called by patch. But in the case of patch the check if the resource does exist will have been executed and the given resource is the already updated resource.

Parameters:

resourceToUpdate - the resource that should override an existing one

authorization - should return the roles of an user and may contain arbitrary data needed in the handler implementation

Returns:

the updated resource with the values changed and a new lastModified value

deleteResource

public abstract void deleteResource(String id,
                                    Authorization authorization)

permanently deletes the resource with the given id

Parameters:

id - the id of the resource to delete

authorization - should return the roles of an user and may contain arbitrary data needed in the handler implementation
