@RestMethod(matchers)

{@link oajr.RestMatcher RestMatchers} are used to allow multiple Java methods to be tied to the same HTTP method and path, but differentiated by some request attribute such as a specific header value.

Example:

// GET method that gets invoked for administrators @RestMethod(name=GET, path="/*", matchers=IsAdminMatcher.class) public Object doGetForAdmin() { ... } // GET method that gets invoked for everyone else @RestMethod(name=GET, path="/*") public Object doGetForEveryoneElse() { ... }

The interface for matchers is simple:

public class IsAdminMatcher extends RestMatcher { @Override /* RestMatcher */ public boolean matches(RestRequest req) { return req.isUserInRole("ADMINS_GROUP"); } }
