### 1.1 - Core Overview created: 9.0.0

##### Marshalling APIs

The juneau-marshall library includes easy-to-use and highly customizable serializers and parsers based around a common API. It allows you to marshall Java POJOs directly to and from a wide variety of language types without the need for intermediate Document Object Models making them extremely efficient.

Supported languages include:

- JSON
- XML
- HTML
- UON
- URL-Encoding
- MessagePack
- OpenAPI
- SOAP/XML
- CSV
- YAML (coming soon)
- RDF/XML
- RDF/XML-Abbrev
- N-Triple
- Turtle
- N3

The default serializers can often be used to serialize POJOs in a single line of code:

// A simple bean public class Person { public String name = "John Smith"; public int age = 21; } // Produces: // "{"name":"John Smith","age":21}" String json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(new Person());

Parsing back into POJOs is equally simple for any of the supported languages Language fragments are also supported.

// Parse a JSON object as a bean. String json = "{\"name\":\"John Smith\","\age\":21}"; Person person = parser.parse(json, Person.class);

Marshalls are pairings of serializers and parsers in a single class for even simpler code:

// Serialize String json = Json.DEFAULT.write(person); // Parse Person person = Json.DEFAULT.read(json, Person.class);

Marshalling support is provided for a wide variety of POJO types including:

- Primitives and primitive objects
- Beans
- Java Collections Framework objects (e.g. Collections, Maps)
- Arrays
- POJOs

- {@doc jm.PojoCategories Pojo Categories} for an exhaustive list of categories supported out-of-the-box.

##### Marshaller Builders

Serializers and parsers are builder-based using fluent methods allowing you to quickly create, clone, and modify them in single lines of code.

// Create a serializer from scratch programmatically using a builder. JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .simple() // Simple mode .sq() // Use single quotes .timeZone(TimeZone.GMT) // For timezone-specific serialization .locale(Locale.JAPAN) // For locale-specific serialization .sortCollections() .sortProperties() .keepNullProperties() .trimStrings() .beanMethodVisibility(PROTECTED) // Control which fields/methods are serialized .beanDictionary( // Adds type variables for resolution during parsing MyBeanA.class, MyBeanB.class ) .debug() // Debug mode .build();

Many POJOs such as primitives, beans, collections, arrays, and classes with various known constructors and methods are serializable out-of-the-box. For other objects, "transforms" allow you to perform various mutations on them before serialization and after parsing.

{@doc jm.Swaps Object swaps} allow you to replace non-serializable objects with serializable equivalents. The {@link org.apache.juneau.swaps} package contains a variety of predefined swaps.

// Create a serializer from scratch programmatically using a builder. JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .swaps( // Swap unserializable classes with surrogate POJOs IteratorSwap.class, // Iterators swapped with lists ByteArrayBase64Swap.class, // byte[] swapped with base-64 encoded strings CalendarSwap.ISO8601DT.class // Calendars swapped with ISO8601-compliant strings ) .build();

Any POJO that doesn't fit into the category of a bean/collection/array/primitive and doesn't have a swap associated with it is converted to simple strings. By default, various instance and static methods and constructors on POJO classes are automatically detected and supported for marshalling a POJO to and from a string.

- {@doc jm.SerializersAndParsers} for more information.

##### Bean Annotations

Beans and POJO classes, methods, fields, and constructors can also be annotated with a variety of annotations to customize how they are marshalled:

// Sort bean properties by name. // Exclude city/state from marshalling. @Bean(sort=true, excludeProperties="city,state") public class Address { ... } // Specify an implementation class for an interface. @Marshalled(implClass=AutomobileImpl.class) public interface Automobile { ... }

As a general rule, any capabilities provided by bean annotations can be programmatically specified via the builder APIs. This allows the marshallers to be used equivalently on either your own code that you have access to, or external code where you only have access to binaries.

- {@doc jm.JavaBeansSupport} for more information.

##### Configuration Annotations

Serializers and parsers can also be configured using annotations.

@BeanConfig(sortProperties="true") @SerializerConfig(quoteChar="'") @RdfConfig(rdfxml_tab="5", addRootProperty="true") public class MyAnnotatedClass {...} // Create a serializer configured using annotations. JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .applyAnnotations(MyAnnotatedClass.class) .build();

Config annotations are extensively used in the REST Servlet APIs to configure how POJOs are marshalled through REST interfaces.

Configuration variables also support embedded variables for resolving settings at runtime.

// Sort properties depending on value of system property "sortProperties". @BeanConfig(sortProperties="$S{sortProperties,false}")

Default values for configuration settings can be overridden via system properties or environment variables. For example, the system property "BeanContext.sortProperties" or environment variable "BEANCONTEXT_SORTPROPERTIES" can be used to set the default value for the sort properties setting.

Bean annotations can also be programmatically attached to POJOs using config annototations like so:

@Bean(onClass=Address.class, sort=true, excludeProperties="city,state") public class MyAnnotatedClass {...}

- {@doc jm.ContextAnnotations} for more information.

##### Simplified JSON Marshalling

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer} class can be used to serialized POJOs into Simplified JSON notation.

Simplified JSON is identical to JSON except for the following:

- JSON attributes are only quoted when necessary.
- Uses single-quotes for quoting.

##### Examples:

// Some free-form JSON. Map map = JsonMap.of( "foo", "x1", "_bar", "x2", " baz ", "x3", "123", "x4", "return", "x5", "", "x6" );

// Serialized to standard JSON { "foo": "x1", "_bar": "x2", " baz ": "x3", "123": "x4", "return": "x5", "": "x6" }

// Serialized to simplified JSON { foo: 'x1', _bar: 'x2', ' baz ': 'x3', // Quoted due to embedded spaces. '123': 'x4', // Quoted to prevent confusion with number. 'return': 'x5', // Quoted because it's a keyword. '': 'x6' // Quoted because it's an empty string. }

Simplified JSON is still valid Javascript. The advantage to simplified JSON is you can represent it in a Java String in minimal form with minimal escaping. This is particularly useful in cases such as unit testing where you can easily validate POJOs by simplifying them to Simplified JSON and do a simple string comparison.

WriterSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT; assertEquals("{foo:'bar',baz:123}", serializer.toString(myPojo));

- {@doc jm.SimplifiedJson} for more information.

##### UON Marshalling

The Marshalling API also supports UON (URL-Encoded Object Notation). It allows JSON-like data structures (OBJECT, ARRAY, NUMBER, BOOLEAN, STRING, NULL) in HTTP constructs (query parameters, form parameters, headers, URL parts) without violating RFC2396. This allows POJOs to be converted directly into these HTTP constructs which is not possible in other languages such as JSON.

( id=1, name='John+Smith', uri=http://sample/addressBook/person/1, addressBookUri=http://sample/addressBook, birthDate=1946-08-12T00:00:00Z, addresses=@( ( uri=http://sample/addressBook/address/1, personUri=http://sample/addressBook/person/1, id=1, street='100+Main+Street', city=Anywhereville, state=NY, zip=12345, isCurrent=true ) ) )

- {@doc jm.UonDetails UON Details} for more information.

##### OpenAPI Marshalling

The Marshalling API also supports schema-based OpenAPI serialization. It allows HTTP parts to be marshalled to-and-from POJOs based on OpenAPI schema definitions.

import static org.apache.juneau.httpart.HttpPartSchema.*; // Schema - Pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited longs. HttpPartSchema schema = tArrayPipes().items( tArrayCsv().items( tInt64() ) ).build(); // Our value to serialize Object value = new long[][]{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}; // Produces "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9" String output = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(HttpPartType.HEADER, schema, value);

Schema-based serialization and parsing is used heavily in both the server and client REST APIs with built-in schema validations support in various HTTP part annotations.

// REST server method with HTTP parts using schema validation. @RestGet public void doGet( @Query(name="myParam", min=1, max=32) int myParam, @Header("MyHeader", pattern="foo.*") String p2 ) {...}

- {@doc jm.OpenApiDetails OpenAPI Details} for more information.

##### JsonMap/JsonList

The {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} and {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList} collections classes allow you to programmatically build generic JSON data structures. They are similar in concept to JSONObject and JSONArray that you find in other JSON marshalling APIs, but can be used to generate DOMs in any of the supported languages.

// Create JSON strings from scratch using fluent-style code. String myMap = JsonMap.create().append("foo","bar").toString(); String myList = JsonList.of("foo", 123, null, jsonObject).toString(); // Parse directly from JSON into generic DOMs. Map<String,Object> myMap = JsonMap.ofJson("{foo:'bar'}"); List<Object> myList = JsonList.ofJson("['foo',123,null]");

These classes provide lots of convenience methods including:

- Methods for direct marshalling to/from any of the other supported languages.
- Methods for quick conversions to other data types including collections, beans, arrays, etc...

- {@doc jm.JsonMap JsonMap and JsonList} for more information.

##### Serializer and Parser Sets

`SerializerSet` and `ParserSet` classes allow serializers and parsers to be retrieved by W3C-compliant HTTP `Accept` and `Content-Type` values:

// Construct a new serializer group with configuration parameters that get applied to all serializers. SerializerSet serializerSet = SerializerSet .create() .add(JsonSerializer.class, UrlEncodingSerializer.class); .forEach(x -> x.swaps(CalendarSwap.ISO8601DT.class)) .forEachWS(x -> x.useWhitespace()) .build(); // Find the appropriate serializer by Accept type and serialize our POJO to the specified writer. // Fully RFC2616 compliant. serializerSet .getSerializer("text/invalid, text/json;q=0.8, text/*;q:0.6, *\/*;q=0.0") .serialize(person, myWriter); // Construct a new parser group with configuration parameters that get applied to all parsers. ParserSet parserSet = ParserSet .create() .add(JsonParser.class, UrlEncodingParser.class); .forEach(x -> x.swaps(CalendarSwap.ISO8601DT.class)) .build(); Person person = parserSet .getParser("text/json") .parse(myReader, Person.class);

- {@doc jm.SerializerSetsParserSets SerializerSets and ParserSets} for more information.

##### SVL Variables

The {@link org.apache.juneau.svl} package defines an API for a language called "Simple Variable Language". In a nutshell, Simple Variable Language (or SVL) is text that contains variables of the form "$varName{varKey}".

Variables can be recursively nested within the varKey (e.g. "$FOO{$BAR{xxx},$BAZ{xxx}}"). Variables can also return values that themselves contain more variables.

// Use the default variable resolver to resolve a string that // contains $S (system property) variables String myProperty = VarResolver.DEFAULT.resolve("The Java home directory is $S{java.home}");

The SVL variables are used widely throughout various annotations defined in Juneau allowing many features to be configured via external sources such as configuration files or environment variables/system properties. The SVL APIs are extensible allowing for the addition of new types of variables.

- {@doc jm.SimpleVariableLanguage Simple Variable Language} for more information.

##### Assertions API

The {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions} package in Juneau is a powerful API for performing fluent style assertions.

##### Examples:

import static org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions.*; import static org.apache.juneau.assertions.AssertionPredicates.*; // Check the contents of a string. assertString("foo, bar") .split(",") .trim() .has("foo", "bar"); // Extract a subset of properties from a list of beans and compare using Simplified JSON. List<MyBean> myListOfBeans = ...; assertBeanList(myListOfBeans) .extract("a,b") .asJson().is("[{a:1,b:'foo'}]"); // Perform an arbitrary Predicate check against a bean. MyBean myBean = ...; assertBean(myBean) .is(x -> isValidCheck(x)) // Check that a list of strings has less than 10 entries and the first // 3 entries are [foo, bar*, null] using assertion predicates. List<String> myListOfStrings = ...; assertStringList(myListOfStrings) .size().isLt(10) .first(3) .each(eq("foo"),match("bar*"),isNull()) // Check that an exception is thrown and is the specified type and has the specified message. assertThrown(()->myBean.runBadMethod()) .exists() .isExactType(RuntimeException.class) .message().is("foo");

The Assertions APIs are used throughout the REST client and server APIs for performing inline assertions on REST requests and responses.

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with JSON support and download a bean. MyBean bean = RestClient.create() .simpleJson() .build() .get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200) .assertHeader("Content-Type").isMatches("application/json*") .getContent().assertValue().asString().isContains("OK") .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

- {@doc jm.FluentAssertions Fluent Assertions} for more information.

### 1.2 - DTO Library Overview created: 9.0.0

##### DTO Libraries

The juneau-dto library contains several predefined POJOs for generating commonly-used document types that are designed to be used with the Juneau Marshaller APIs for both serializing and parsing.

##### HTML5

The Juneau HTML5 DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters that allow you to quickly construct HTML fragments as Java objects. These object can then be serialized to HTML using one of the existing HTML serializers, or to other languages such as JSON using the JSON serializers.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder} class is a utility class with predefined static methods that allow you to easily construct DTO instances in a minimal amount of code.

##### Examples:

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; // An HTML table Object mytable = table( tr( th("c1"), th("c2") ), tr( td("v1"), td("v2") ) ); String html = HtmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(mytable);

<table> <tr> <th>c1</th> <th>c2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>v1</td> <td>v2</td> </tr> </table>

- {@doc jd.Html5 HTML5} for more information.

##### ATOM

The Juneau ATOM feed DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters. The following code shows a feed being created programmatically using the {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.atom.AtomBuilder} class.

##### Example:

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.atom.AtomBuilder.*; Feed feed = feed("tag:juneau.apache.org", "Juneau ATOM specification", "2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .subtitle(text("html").text("Describes <em>stuff</em> about Juneau")) .links( link("alternate", "text/html", "http://juneau.apache.org").hreflang("en"), link("self", "application/atom+xml", "http://juneau.apache.org/feed.atom") ) .rights("Copyright (c) ...") .generator( generator("Juneau").uri("http://juneau.apache.org/").version("1.0") ) .entries( entry("tag:juneau.sample.com,2013:1.2345", "Juneau ATOM specification snapshot", "2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .links( link"alternate", "text/html", "http://juneau.apache.org/juneau.atom"), link("enclosure", "audio/mpeg", "http://juneau.apache.org/audio/juneau_podcast.mp3").length(1337) ) .published("2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .authors( person("Jane Smith").uri("http://juneau.apache.org/").email("janesmith@apache.org") ) .contributors( person("John Smith") ) .content( content("xhtml") .lang("en") .base("http://www.apache.org/") .text("<div><p><i>[Update: Juneau supports ATOM.]</i></p></div>") ) ); // Create a serializer with readable output, no namespaces yet. XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.create().sq().ws().build(); // Serialize to ATOM/XML String atomXml = serializer.serialize(feed);

- {@doc jd.Atom Atom} for more information.

##### Swagger

The Juneau Swagger DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters that allow you to quickly construct Swagger documents as Java objects. These object can then be serialized to JSON using one of the existing JSON serializers, or to other languages such as XML or HTML using the other serializers.

##### Example:

static import org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SwaggerBuilder.*; Swagger swagger = swagger() .swagger("2.0") .info( info("Swagger Petstore", "1.0.0") .description("This is a sample server Petstore server.") .termsOfService("http://swagger.io/terms/") .contact( contact().email("apiteam@swagger.io") ) .license( license("Apache 2.0").url("http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html") ) ) .host("petstore.swagger.io") .basePath("/v2") .tags( tag("pet").description("Everything about your Pets") .externalDocs( externalDocumentation("http://swagger.io", "http://swagger.io") ) ) .schemes("http") .path("/pet", "post", operation() .tags("pet") .summary("Add a new pet to the store") .description("") .operationId("addPet") .consumes(MediaType.JSON, MediaType.XML) .produces(MediaType.JSON, MediaType.XML) .parameters( parameterInfo("body", "body") .description("Pet object that needs to be added to the store") .required(true) ) .response(405, responseInfo("Invalid input")) ); // Serialize using JSON serializer. String swaggerJson = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT_READABLE.serialize(swagger); // Or just use toString(). String swaggerJson = swagger.toString();

- {@doc jd.Swagger Swagger} for more information.

##### SwaggerUI

The {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI} class is a DTO class for generating Swagger user interfaces from {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} beans.

The PetStore example described later provides an example of auto-generated Swagger JSON:

Using {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI}, we're able to render that JSON as a Swagger user interface when the request is asking for HTML:

- {@doc jd.SwaggerUi Swagger UI} for more information.

### 1.3 - Config API Overview created: 9.0.0

##### Config API

The juneau-config library contains a powerful API for creating and using INI-style config files.

##### Example configuration file:

# A set of entries [Section1] # An integer key1 = 1 # A boolean key2 = true # An array key3 = 1,2,3 # A POJO key4 = http://bar

Config files are accessed through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config} class which are created through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder} class. Builder creator methods are provided on the Config class:

// Create a Config object Config config = Config.create().name("MyConfig.cfg").build(); // Read values from section #1 int key1 = config.getInt("Section1/key1"); boolean key2 = config.getBoolean("Section1/key2"); int[] key3 = config.getObject("Section1/key3", int[].class); URL key4 = config.getObject("Section1/key4", URL.class);

The config language may look simple, but it is a very powerful feature with many capabilities.

- {@doc juneau-config juneau-config} for more information.

### 1.4 - REST Overview created: 9.0.0

##### REST Server/Client APIs

The {@doc juneau-rest-server juneau-rest-server} and {@doc juneau-rest-client juneau-rest-client} libraries provide server and client side REST capabilities that can be used by themselves, or together to create simplified yet sophisticated Java-based REST communications layers that completely hide away the complexities of the REST protocol.

A typical pattern is to define a REST API on the server side:

@Rest(path="/petstore") public class PetStore { @RestPost(path="/pets", guards=AdminGuard.class) public Ok addPet( @Content CreatePet createPetBean, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ) throws BadRequest, Unauthorized, InternalServerError { // Process request. return Ok.OK; // Standard 400-OK response. } }

Then define a Java interface that can be provided to consumers of your API to access your REST API:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStoreService { @RemotePost("/pets") Ok addPet( @Content CreatePet createPet, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ) throws BadRequest, Unauthorized, InternalServerError; }

Note that you may choose to have your service class implement your interface. The REST libraries will happily look for annotations defined on methods of parent classes and interfaces. It's up to you how you want to design it.

Finally, the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} class is used to construct a remote proxy to our REST service:

// Use a RestClient with default Simple JSON support and BASIC auth. RestClient client = RestClient.create().simpleJson().basicAuth(...).build(); // Instantiate our proxy interface. PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class, "http://localhost:10000"); // Use it to create a pet. CreatePet createPet = new CreatePet("Fluffy", 9.99); Pet pet = store.addPet(createPet, UUID.randomUUID(), true);

The call above translates to the following REST call:

POST http://localhost:10000/petstore/pets?debug=true HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ== E-Tag: 475588d4-0b27-4f56-9296-cc683251d314 { name: 'Fluffy', price: 9.99 }

It looks simplistic, but the server and client APIs are highly sophisticated libraries that allow you to perform complex tasks using very little code.

### 1.5 - REST Server Overview

##### @Rest-Annotated Resources

A REST resource is simply a Java class annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}. The most common case is a class that extends {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet}, which itself is simply an extension of {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet} which allows it to be deployed as a servlet.

// Sample REST resource that prints out a simple "Hello world!" message. @Rest( path="/helloWorld", title="Hello World", description="An example of the simplest-possible resource" ) @HtmlDoc( navlinks={ "up: request:/..", "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" }, aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This page shows a resource that simply response with a 'Hello world!' message</p>", " <p>The POJO serialized is a simple String.</p>", "</div>" } ) @BeanConfig(sortProperties="true") public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniveralConfig { @RestGet(path="/*", summary="Responds with \"Hello world!\"") public String sayHello() { return "Hello world!"; } }

This is what it looks like in a browser.

http://localhost:10000/helloWorld

- Parsers for request bodies are selected based on the request Content-Type header.
- Serializers for response bodies are selected based on the request Accept header.
  - In this case, it's the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} serializer based on the browser's default Accept header that's asking for HTML.
- REST resource classes and methods can be annotated with configuration annotations for the serializers and parsers (such as @HtmlConfig and @BeanConfig shown above).
- Annotations such as the title, summary, and descriptions shown above are used for auto-generated Swagger UI pages (described later).

##### REST Children

Child Resources are REST servlets or objects that are linked to parent resources through the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#children() @Rest(children)} annotation.

##### Example:

/** Parent Resource */ @Rest( path="/parent", children={ MyChildResource.class } ) public MyParentResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

/** Child Resource */ @Rest( path="/child" // Path relative to parent resource. ) public MyChildResource {...} // Note that we don't need to extend from RestServlet.

The path of the child resource gets appended to the path of the parent resource. So in the example above, the child resource is accessed through the URL /parent/child.

A HUGE advantage of using child resources is that they do not need to be declared in the JEE web.xml file. Initialization of and access to the child resources occurs through the parent resource. Children can be nested arbitrary deep to create complex REST interfaces with a single top-level REST servlet.

##### REST Group Pages

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup} class provides a default "router" page for child resources when a parent resource is nothing more than a grouping of child resources.

The RootResources class in the Samples project is an example of a router page:

/** * Sample REST resource showing how to implement a "router" resource page. */ @Rest( path="/", title="Root resources", description="Example of a router resource page.", children={ HelloWorldResource.class, PetStoreResource.class, DtoExamples.class, ConfigResource.class, LogsResource.class, ShutdownResource.class } ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { // NO CODE!!! }

When you bring up this resource in a browser, you see the following that provides a list of navigable links to your child resources:

http://localhost:10000

##### REST Resource Methods

The real power behind the REST server API is the ability to define Java methods as REST endpoints.

##### Example:

@RestPost(path="/pets", guards=AdminGuard.class) public Ok addPet( @Content CreatePet createPetBean, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ) throws BadRequest, Unauthorized, InternalServerError { // Process request. return Ok.OK; }

Java methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated classes have the following format:

@RestOp(method="...", path="...") <config-annotations> public <return-type> method(<args>) throws <throwables> { ... }

The various parts require their own topics to fully appreciate the scope of abilities, but the following is a summary:

- Annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}.

##### Deploying as a Servlet

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} class is the entry point for your REST resources. It extends directly from HttpServlet and is deployed like any other servlet (such as a standard web.xml file).

When the servlet init() method is called, it triggers the code to find and process the @Rest annotations on that class and all child classes. These get constructed into a {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext} object that holds all the configuration information about your resource in a read-only object.

Most developers are not going to be using the RestServlet class itself, and instead will extend from one of the preconfigured default servlets such as {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup} which provides universal language support, basic instrumentation, and auto-generated Swagger UI.

##### Deploying in Spring Boot

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} class is typically entry point for your REST resources when working within a Spring Boot environment.

The SpringRestServlet class provides additional capabilities including:

- Your REST resources can be defined as injectable Spring beans.
- Various capabilities within the REST Server library (e.g. logging, instrumentation, call handling, API extensions) can be defined via Spring beans and automatically pulled into the framework.

Most developers are not going to be using the RestServlet class itself, and instead will extend from one of the preconfigured default servlets such as {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup} that have the same capabilites as the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup} counterparts.

##### Example configuration file:

@Configuration public class MySpringConfiguration { /** * Our root REST bean. * Note that this must extend from SpringRestServlet so that child resources can be * resolved as Spring beans. * All REST objects are attached to this bean using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#children()} annotation. */ @Bean public RootResources getRootResources() { return new RootResources(); } /** * Optionally return the HelloWorldResource object as an injectable bean. */ @Bean public HelloWorldResource getHelloWorldResource() { return new HelloWorldResource(); } /** * Map our servlet to a path. */ @Bean public ServletRegistrationBean<Servlet> getRootServlet(RootResources rootResources) { return new ServletRegistrationBean<>(rootResources, "/*"); } }

@Rest( children={ HelloWorldResource.class } ) public class RootResources extends BasicSpringRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { // No code! }

### 1.6 - REST Client Overview created: 9.0.0

##### REST Client

Built upon the feature-rich Apache HttpClient library, the Juneau RestClient API adds support for fluent-style REST calls and the ability to perform marshalling of POJOs to and from HTTP parts.

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with JSON support and download a bean. MyBean bean = RestClient.create() .simpleJson() .build() .get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200) .assertHeader("Content-Type").matchesSimple("application/json*") .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

##### REST Testing Framework

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} class is used for performing serverless unit testing of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote @Remote}-annotated classes.

##### Example:

public class MockTest { // A simple bean with one field. public static class MyBean { public int foo = 1; } // Our REST resource to test. // Simply echos the response. @Rest public static class EchoRest implements BasicRestServlet { @RestPut public MyBean echo(@Content MyBean bean) { return bean; } } // Our JUnit test. @Test public void testEcho() throws Exception { MyBean myBean = new MyBean(); // Do a round-trip on the bean through the REST interface myBean = MockRestClient .create(EchoRest.class) .simpleJson() .build() .put("/echo", myBean) .run() .assertStatus().is(200) .assertContent().is("{foo:1}") .getContent().as(MyBean.class); assertEquals(1, myBean.foo); } }

##### Additional Information

- {@doc juneau-rest-client} for more information.

### 1.7 - General Design created: 9.0.0

The Juneau framework uses the design pattern of builders, context, and session objects:

- Context Builders - Modifiable objects that allow you to define configuration settings for contexts.
- Contexts - Unmodifiable thread-safe objects meant to be cacheable and reusable.
- Sessions - Modifiable objects usually meant for one-time use.

This is a general design pattern used throughout the framework including the REST client and server APIs.

The following shows the general pattern for creating sessions:

// Create a reusable context object (in this case a serializer). WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() // Instantiates a context builder. .findFluentSetters() // Sets a configuration value. .build(); // Creates a context. // Create a one-time session object. WriterSerializerSession session = serializer .createSession() // Instantiates a session builder. .useWhitespace() // Sets a session value. .build(); // Creates a session. // Use it. String json = session.serialize(myBean);

Typically developers will not deal with session objects and will just use convenience methods on the context classes themselves that handle creation of sessions:

// Just use serialize method on WriterSerializer class. String json = serializer.serialize(myBean);

Most context objects also have static default instances that can be used in leu of creating new contexts as well:

// Just use one of the static context instances. String json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(myBean);

Most context classes also have the ability to clone and modify existing context objects:

// Clone and modify an existing context object. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .DEFAULT .copy() // Instantiates a context builder. .findFluentSetters() // Sets a configuration value. .build(); // Creates a context.

The default values of many context settings can also be set via system properties and environment variables. The javadocs on these settings will identify when this is possible.

The framework makes heavy use of caching of existing context objects with the same builder settings. This is a critical reason why Juneau achieve impressive performance. Using Java reflection to find out all information about a bean type is expensive. By caching context objects, we only need to reflect that bean type once and store that information in the context for reuse by all serializers and parsers that share the same bean context configuration settings.

## 2 - juneau-marshall

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-marshall</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-marshall-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.marshall_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-marshall artifact contains the following:

- Foundation for all serializers and parsers.
- Implementations for all serializers and parsers except RDF languages.
- Extensions to Apache HttpCore components used by both client and server APIs.
- Assertions APIs.
- Various reusable utilities used throughout the framework.

### 2.1 - Bean Contexts updated: 9.0.0

At the heart of the marshalling APIs is the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext Bean Context} API that provides a common framework for marshalling beans and POJOs across all serializers and parsers. All serializers and parsers (and their builders) extend from the bean context API classes.

One important feature of the bean context API is the ability to wrap Java beans inside maps to allow properties to be accessed through a Map layer. Although this is used internally by all the serializers and parsers, it's often useful to use this feature by itself.

##### Example:

// Wrap a bean in a map and do some simple get/set calls. BeanMap<MyBean> myBeanMap = BeanContext.DEFAULT_SESSION.toBeanMap(myBean); myBeanMap.put("myProperty", 123); int myProperty = myBeanMap.get("myProperty", int.class);

The bean context API provides many settings that fine-tune how POJOs should be handled during marshalling.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}

### 2.2 - Serializers and Parsers updated: 9.0.0

One of the goals of Juneau was to make serialization as simple as possible. In a single line of code, you should be able to serialize and parse most POJOs. Despite this simplicity, Juneau provides lots of extensibility and configuration properties for tailoring how POJOs are serialized and parsed.

The built-in serializers in Juneau are fast, efficient, and highly configurable. They work by serializing POJOs directly to streams instead of using intermediate Document Object Model objects.

In most cases, you can serialize objects in one line of code by using one of the default serializers:

// A simple bean public class Person { public String name = "John Smith"; public int age = 21; } // Serialize to JSON, XML, or HTML Person person = new Person(); // Produces: // "{\"name\":\"John Smith\",\"age\":21}" String json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // "{name:'John Smith',age:21}" String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // <object> // <name>John Smith</name> // <age>21</age> // </object> String xml = XmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // <table> // <tr><th>key</th><th>value</th></tr> // <tr><td>name</td><td>John Smith</td></tr> // <tr><td>age</td><td>21</td></tr> // </table> String html = HtmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // "(name='John Smith',age=21)" String uon = UonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // "name='John+Smith'&age=21" String urlencoding = UrlEncodingSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // 82 A4 6E 61 6D 65 AA 4A 6F 68 6E 20 53 6D 69 74 68 A3 61 67 65 15 byte[] bytes = MsgPackSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person);

In addition to the default serializers, customized serializers can be created using various built-in options:

// Use one of the default serializers to serialize a POJO String json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(someObject); // Create a custom serializer for lax syntax using single quote characters JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().simple().sq().build(); // Clone an existing serializer and modify it to use single-quotes JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.copy().sq().build(); // Serialize a POJO to JSON String json = serializer.serialize(someObject);

Default serialization support is provided for Java primitives, Maps, Collections, beans, and arrays. Extensible support for other data types such as Calendars, Dates, Iterators is available through the use of POJO swaps (described later).

Parsers work by parsing input directly into POJOs instead of having to create intermediate Document Object Models. This allows them to parse input with minimal object creation.

Like the serializers, you can often parse objects in one line of code by using one of the default parsers:

// Use one of the predefined parsers. Parser parser = JsonParser.DEFAULT; // Parse a JSON object as a bean. String json = "{name:'John Smith',age:21}"; Person person = parser.parse(json, Person.class); // Or parse it into a generic Map. Map map = parser.parse(json, Map.class); // Parse a JSON string. json = "'foobar'"; String string = parser.parse(json, String.class); // Parse a JSON number as a Long or Float. json = "123"; Long _long = parser.parse(json, Long.class); Float _float = parser.parse(json, Float.class); // Parse a JSON object as a HashMap<String,Person>. json = "{a:{name:'John Smith',age:21},b:{name:'Joe Smith',age:42}}"; Map<String,Person> map2 = parser.parse(json, HashMap.class, String.class, Person.class) // Parse a JSON object as a HashMap<String,LinkedList<Person>>. json = "{a:[{name:'John Smith',age:21},{name:'Joe Smith',age:42}]}"; Map<String,List<Person>> map3 = parser.parse(json, HashMap.class, String.class, LinkedList.class, Person.class) // Parse a JSON array of integers as a Collection of Integers or int[] array. json = "[1,2,3]"; List<Integer> list = parser.parse(json, LinkedList.class, Integer.class); int[] ints = parser.parse(json, int[].class);

The parsers can also be used to populating existing bean and collection objects:

// Use one of the predefined parsers. Parser parser = JsonParser.DEFAULT; // Populate the properties on an existing bean from a JSON object. String json = "{name:'John Smith',age:21}"; Person person = new Person(); parser.parseIntoBean(json, person); // Populate an existing list from a JSON array of numbers. json = "[1,2,3]"; List<Integer> list = new LinkedList<Integer>(); parser.parseIntoCollection(json, list, Integer.class); // Populate an existing map from a JSON object containing beans. json = "{a:{name:'John Smith',age:21},b:{name:'Joe Smith',age:42}}"; Map<String,Person> map = new TreeMap<String,Person>(); parser.parseIntoMap(json, map, String.class, Person.class);

In the example above, we're parsing "lax" JSON (single quotes, unquoted attributes). The JSON parser can handle any valid JSON syntax (such as quoted or unquoted attributes, single or double quotes). It can also handle JSON fragments and embedded Javascript comments. Many of the JSON examples provided will use lax syntax which is easier to read since we don't have to deal with escapes.

### 2.3 - Marshalls

{@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall Marshalls} are simple pairings of a {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser} with convenience methods for serializing and parsing POJOs.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#read(Object,Class) read(Object,Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#read(Object,Type,Type...) read(Object,Type,Type...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#write(Object) write(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#write(Object,Object) write(Object,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#toString(Object) toString(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Marshall#println(Object) println(Object)}

Marshalls are often cleaner to use on-the-fly since they have simplified names.

The following shows the {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.Json} marshall in action:

##### Examples:

// Using instance. Json json = new Json(); MyPojo myPojo = json.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = json.write(myPojo);

// Using DEFAULT instance. MyPojo myPojo = Json.DEFAULT.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = Json.DEFAULT.write(myPojo);

- {@doc g.LanguageSupport Language Support} - Glossary of all supported languages.

### 2.4 - Java Beans Support created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

Out-of-the-box, Juneau supports marshalling of Java beans with standard public getters and setters, public fields, and fluent setters (e.g. withX naming convention). There are also many settings and annotations that can be used to customize how bean properties are detected. The following is an example of some of the ways to define bean properties:

public class MyBean { // Public field property. public String property1; // Standard public getters/setters. public String getProperty2() {...} public void setProperty2(String value) {...} // With fluent-style setter. public String getProperty3() {...} public MyBean withProperty3(String value) {...} // Read-only property (ignored by parsers). public String getProperty4() {...} // Write-only property (ignored by serializers). public void setProperty5(String value) {...} // Non-standard getters/setters identified by annotation. @Beanp public String property6() {...} @Beanp public void property6(String value) {...} // Non-standard getters/setters identified by annotation with overridden names. @Beanp("property7") public String property7X() {...} @Beanp("property7") public void property7X(String value) {...} // Non-public getters/setters identified by annotation. @Beanp private String getProperty8() {...} @Beanp private void setProperty8(String value) {...} // Ignore a method that looks like a getter. @BeanIgnore public String getNotAProperty() {...} }

Several settings exist to allow you to customize how bean properties are handled by serializers and parsers:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanClassVisibility(Visibility) beanClassVisibility(Visibility)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanConstructorVisibility(Visibility) beanConstructorVisibility(Visibility)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanFieldVisibility(Visibility) beanFieldVisibility(Visibility)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanMethodVisibility(Visibility) beanMethodVisibility(Visibility)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beansRequireDefaultConstructor() beansRequireDefaultConstructor()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beansRequireSerializable() beansRequireSerializable()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beansRequireSettersForGetters() beansRequireSettersForGetters()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#disableBeansRequireSomeProperties() disableBeansRequireSomeProperties()}

Settings and equivalent annotations are also available to control which properties are marshalled and how they are ordered.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanProperties(Class,String) beanProperties(Class,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanPropertiesExcludes(Class,String) beanPropertiesExcludes(Class,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanPropertiesReadOnly(Class,String) beanPropertiesReadOnly(Class,String) }
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanPropertiesWriteOnly(Class,String) beanPropertiesWriteOnly(Class,String)}

It's common to use the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#properties @Bean(properties|p)} annotation to force the ordering of properties during marshalling. IBM JVMs keep the ordering of fields and methods in the compiled bytecode, but Oracle JVMs do not and return fields/methods in random order. The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#properties @Bean(properties|p)} annotation was added to help with this limitation.

// Bean should be marshalled with properties in the specified order. @Bean(properties="foo,bar,baz") public class MyBean { ... }

Another option to force ordering of properties is to use {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#sort @Bean(sort)}.

@Bean(sort=true) public class MyBean { ... }

- {@doc jm.BeanDictionaries Bean Dictionaries} - Handling properties with subclassable types.

##### 2.4.1 - @Bean Annotation updated: 8.2.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotation is used to tailor how beans are interpreted by the framework.

Bean property inclusion and ordering on a bean class can be done using the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#properties() @Bean(properties|p)} annotation.

// Address class with only street/city/state properties (in that order). // All other properties are ignored. @Bean(properties="street,city,state") public class Address { ... }

Bean properties can be excluded using the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#excludeProperties() @Bean(excludeProperties|xp)} annotation.

// Address class with only street/city/state properties (in that order). // All other properties are ignored. @Bean(excludeProperties="city,state"}) public class Address { ... }

Bean properties can be sorted alphabetically using {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#sort() @Bean(sort)}

// Address class with only street/city/state properties (in that order). // All other properties are ignored. @Bean(sort=true) public class MyBean { ... }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#propertyNamer() @Bean(propertyNamer)} annotation is used to provide customized naming of properties.

Property namers are used to transform bean property names from standard form to some other form. For example, the {@link org.apache.juneau.PropertyNamerDLC} will convert property names to dashed-lowercase, and these will be used as attribute names in JSON and element names in XML.

// Define a class with dashed-lowercase property names. @Bean(propertyNamer=PropertyNamerDashedLC.class) public class MyBean { ... }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#interfaceClass @Bean(interfaceClass)} annotation is used to limit properties on beans to specific interface classes. When specified, only the list of properties defined on the interface class will be used during serialization. Additional properties on subclasses will be ignored.

// Parent class @Bean(interfaceClass=A.class) public abstract class A { public String f0 = "f0"; } // Child class public class A1 extends A { public String f1 = "f1"; } JsonSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT; A1 a1 = new A1(); String result = serializer.serialize(a1); assertEquals("{f0:'f0'}", result); // Note f1 is not serialized.

Note that this annotation can be used on the parent class so that it filters to all child classes. Or can be set individually on the child classes.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#stopClass @Bean(stopClass)} annotation is another way to limit which properties are serialized (except from the opposite direction). It's identical in purpose to the stop class specified by {@link java.beans.Introspector#getBeanInfo(Class, Class)}. Any properties in the stop class or in its base classes will be ignored during analysis.

For example, in the following class hierarchy, instances of C3 will include property p3, but not p1 or p2.

public class C1 { public int getP1(); } public class C2 extends C1 { public int getP2(); } @Bean(stopClass=C2.class) public class C3 extends C2 { public int getP3(); }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#interceptor() @Bean(interceptor)} annotation and {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.BeanInterceptor} class can be used to perform interception and inline handling of bean getter and setter calls.

// Interceptor that strips out sensitive information on Address beans. public class AddressInterceptor extends BeanInterceptor<Address> { @Override public Object readProperty(Address bean, String name, Object value) { if ("taxInfo".equals(name)) return "redacted"; return value; } @Override public Object writeProperty(Address bean, String name, Object value) { if ("taxInfo".equals(name) && "redacted".equals(value)) return TaxInfoUtils.lookup(bean.getStreet(), bean.getCity(), bean.getState()); return value; } } // Register interceptor on bean class. @Bean(interceptor=AddressInterceptor.class) public class Address { public String getTaxInfo() {...} public void setTaxInfo(String value) {...} }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#on() @Bean(on)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#onClass() @Bean(onClass)} annotations can be used to programmatically attach @Bean annotations to classes.

@Bean(onClass=Address.class, sort=true, excludeProperties="city,state") public class MyAnnotatedClass {...} // Create a serializer configured using annotations. JsonSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .applyAnnotations(MyAnnotatedClass.class) .build();

##### 2.4.2 - @Beanp Annotation updated: 8.1.0,8.1.2,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp @Beanp} annotation is used to tailor how individual bean properties are interpreted by the framework.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#name() @Beanp(name)} annotation is used to override the name of the bean property.

public class MyBean { @Beanp(name="Bar") public String getFoo() {...} }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Name @Name} annotation is a shortcut for specifying a bean property name:

public class MyBean { @Name("Bar") public String getFoo() {...} }

If the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanFieldVisibility(Visibility) beanFieldVisibility} setting on the bean context excludes this field (e.g. the visibility is set to the default of PUBLIC, but the field is PROTECTED), this annotation can be used to force the field to be identified as a property.

public class MyBean { @Beanp protected String getFoo() {...} }

The bean property named "*" is the designated "dynamic property" which allows for "extra" bean properties not otherwise defined. This is similar in concept to the Jackson @JsonGetterAll and @JsonSetterAll annotations, but generalized for all supported marshall languages. The primary purpose is for backwards compatibility in parsing newer streams with addition information into older beans.

The following shows various ways of using dynamic bean properties.

// Option #1 - A simple public Map field. // The field name can be anything. public class BeanWithDynaField { @Beanp("*") public Map<String,Object> extraStuff = new LinkedHashMap<String,Object>(); } // Option #2 - Getters and setters. // Method names can be anything. // Getter must return a Map with String keys. // Setter must take in two arguments, a String and Object. public class BeanWithDynaMethods { @Beanp("*") public Map<String,Object> getMyExtraStuff() { ... } @Beanp("*") public void setAnExtraField(String name, Object value) { ... } } // Option #3 - Getter only. // Properties will be added through the getter. public class BeanWithDynaGetterOnly { @Beanp("*") public Map<String,Object> getMyExtraStuff() { ... } }

Similar rules apply for value types and swaps. The property values optionally can be any serializable type or use swaps.

// A serializable type other than Object. public class BeanWithDynaFieldWithListValues { @Beanp("*") public Map<String,List<String>> getMyExtraStuff() { ... } } // A swapped value. public class BeanWithDynaFieldWithSwappedValues { @Beanp(name="*", swap=TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoOffsetDateTime.class) public Map<String,Calendar> getMyExtraStuff() { ... } }

Note that if you're not interested in these additional properties, you can also use the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#ignoreUnknownBeanProperties() ignoreUnknownBeanProperties} setting to ignore values that don't fit into existing properties.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#value() @Beanp(value)} annotation is a synonym for {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#name() @Beanp(name)}. Use it in cases where you're only specifying a name so that you can shorten your annotation.

The following annotations are equivalent:

@Beanp(name="foo") @Beanp("foo")

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#type() @Beanp(type)} annotation is used to identify a specialized class type for a generalized property. Normally the type is inferred through reflection of the field type or getter return type. However, you'll want to specify this value if you're parsing beans where the bean property class is an interface or abstract class to identify the bean type to instantiate. Otherwise, you may cause an {@link java.lang.InstantiationException} when trying to set these fields.

This property must denote a concrete class with a no-arg constructor.

public class MyBean { // Identify concrete type as a HashMap. @Beanp(type=HashMap.class) public Map p1; }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#params() @Beanp(params)} annotation is for bean properties of type map or collection. It's used to identify the class types of the contents of the bean property object when the general parameter types are interfaces or abstract classes.

public class MyBean { // This is a HashMap<String,Integer>. @Beanp(type=HashMap.class, params={String.class,Integer.class}) public Map p1; }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#properties() @Beanp(properties)} annotation is used to limit which child properties are rendered by the serializers. It can be used on any of the following bean property types:

- Beans - Only render the specified properties of the bean.
- Maps - Only render the specified entries in the map.
- Bean/Map arrays - Same, but applied to each element in the array.
- Bean/Map collections - Same, but applied to each element in the collection.

public class MyClass { // Only render 'f1' when serializing this bean property. @Beanp(properties={"f1"}) public MyChildClass x1 = new MyChildClass(); } public class MyChildClass { public int f1 = 1; public int f2 = 2; } // Renders "{x1:{f1:1}}" String json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(new MyClass());

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#format() @Beanp(format)} annotation specifies a String format for converting a bean property value to a formatted string.

// Serialize a float as a string with 2 decimal places. @Beanp(format="$%.2f") public float price;

##### 2.4.3 - @Beanc Annotation updated: 8.1.0,8.1.2

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc @Beanc} annotation is used to map constructor arguments to property names on bean with read-only properties. Since method parameter names are lost during compilation, this annotation essentially redefines them so that they are available at runtime.

The definition of a read-only bean is a bean with properties with only getters, like shown below:

// Our read-only bean. public class Person { private final String name; private final int age; @Beanc(properties="name,age"}) public Person(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } // Read only properties. // Getters, but no setters. public String getName() { return name; } public int getAge() { return age; } }

// Parsing into a read-only bean. String json = "{name:'John Smith',age:45}"; Person person = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(json); String name = person.getName(); // "John Smith" int age = person.getAge(); // 45

Beans can also be defined with a combination of read-only and read-write properties.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Name @Name} annotation can also be used instead of @Beanc(properties):

@Beanc public Person(@Name("name") String name, @Name("age") int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; }

If neither @Beanc(properties) or @Name is used to identify the bean property names, we will try to use the parameter names if they are available in the bytecode.

##### 2.4.4 - @BeanIgnore Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore} annotation is used to ignore classes, fields, and methods from being interpreted as beans or bean components.

When applied to classes, objects will be converted to strings even though they look like beans.

// Not really a bean! Use toString() instead! @BeanIgnore public class MyBean {...}

When applied to fields and getters/setters, they will be ignored as bean properties.

public class MyBean { // Not a bean property! @BeanIgnore public String foo; // Not a bean property! @BeanIgnore public String getBar() {...} }

##### 2.4.5 - @NameProperty Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NameProperty @NameProperty} annotation is used to identify a setter as a method for setting the name of a POJO as it's known by its parent object.

A commonly-used case is when you're parsing a JSON map containing beans where one of the bean properties is the key used in the map.

// JSON { id1: {name: 'John Smith', sex: 'M'}, id2: {name: 'Jane Doe', sex: 'F'} }

public class Person { @NameProperty public String id; // Value gets assigned from object key public String name; public char sex; }

##### 2.4.6 - @ParentProperty Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentProperty @ParentProperty} annotation is used to identify a setter as a method for adding a parent reference to a child object.

A commonly-used case is when you're parsing beans and a child bean has a reference to a parent bean.

public class AddressBook { public List<Person> people; } public class Person { @ParentProperty public AddressBook addressBook; // A reference to the containing address book. public String name; public char sex; }

Parsers will automatically set this field for you in the child beans.

##### 2.4.7 - POJO Builders updated: 9.0.0

Juneau parsers can use builders to instantiate POJOs. This is useful in cases where you want to create beans with read-only properties. Note that while it's possible to do this using the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc @Beanc} annotation, using builders can often be cleaner.

A typical builder usage is shown below:

MyBean bean = MyBean.create().foo("foo").bar(123).build();

The typical code for such a builder using a static inner class is shown below:

public class MyBean { // Read-only properties. public final String foo; public final int bar; // Private constructor. private MyBean(Builder builder) { this.foo = builder.foo; this.bar = builder.bar; } // Static method that creates a builder. public static Builder create() { return new Builder(); } // Builder class. public static class Builder { String foo; int bar; // Method that creates the bean. public MyBean build() { return new MyBean(this); } // Bean property setters. @Beanp public Builder foo(String foo) { this.foo = foo; return this; } @Beanp public Builder bar(int bar) { this.bar = bar; return this; } } }

The POJO class can be any type including beans. Builders MUST be beans with one or more writable properties. The bean properties themselves do not need to be readable (i.e. getters are optional).

Builders require two parts:

1. A way to detect and instantiate a builder using reflection.
2. A way to instantiate a POJO from a builder.

The first can be accomplished through any of the following:

- A static create() method on the POJO class that returns a builder instance.

  public static Builder create() {...}

- A public constructor on the POJO class that takes in a single parameter that implements the {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.Builder} interface.
  The builder class must have a public no-arg constructor.

  public MyBean(Builder builder) {...}

- A {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Builder @Builder} annotation on the POJO class to explicitly identify it.
  The builder class must have a public no-arg constructor.

  @Builder(Builder.class) public class MyBean {...}

The second can be accomplished through any of the following:

- The existence of a build() method on the builder class.

  public MyBean build() {...}

- The existence of a public constructor on the POJO class that takes in the builder instance.

  public MyBean(Builder builder) {...}

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Builder}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.Builder}

##### 2.4.8 - Bypass Serialization using Readers and InputStreams

Juneau serializers treat instances of Readers and InputStreams special by simply serializing their contents directly to the output stream or writer. This allows you to embed fully customized serializer output.

public class MyBean { // A bean property that produces raw JSON. public Reader f1 = new StringReader("{'foo':'bar'}"); } // Produces "{f1:{'foo':'bar'}}" String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT.toString(new MyBean());

Note that if you're serializing Readers and InputStreams, it's up to you to make sure you're producing valid output (in this case JSON).

A more typical scenario where this is useful is by using swaps to convert POJOs to Readers whose contents are determined via the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession#getMediaType()} method. In the following example, we're customizing the JSON output for a particular bean type, but leaving all other renditions as-is:

@Swap(MyBeanSwapSometimes.class) public class MyBean {...} // A swap that produces specialized output for JSON, but default serialization for // all other media types. public class MyBeanSwapSometimes extends ObjectSwap<MyBean,Object> { public Object swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo object) throws Exception { MediaType mediaType = session.getMediaType(); if (mediaType.hasSubType("json")) return new StringReader("{myPojo:'foobar'}"); // Custom JSON output return object; // Otherwise serialize it as a normal bean } }

Due to the nature of the RDF serializers, Readers and InputStreams are serialized as literals, not as RDF text. This is due to the fact that the RDF serializers use a DOM for serialization, so we don't have access to the underlying stream.

### 2.5 - HTTP Part Serializers and Parsers updated: 8.2.0,9.0.0

There is a separate set of serializers and parsers for marshalling HTTP parts (query, form-data, headers, path variables, and plain-text request bodies). The distinction is that these are designed to marshall directly to-and-from strings based on Open-API schema information.

// Schema information about our part. HttpPartSchema schema = HttpPartSchema .tArrayPipes() .items( HttpPartSchema .tArrayCsv() .items( HttpPartSchema.tInt64("integer","int64") ) ) .build(); // Our value to serialize Object value = new long[][]{{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}}; // Produces "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9" String output = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(HttpPartType.HEADER, schema, value); // Produces "[[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]] long[][] value = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT.parse(HttpPartType.HEADER, schema, output, long[][].class);

The {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchemaBuilder} class is provided for shortening the creation of schemas. The equivalent to the schema above can be structured like so:

import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchemaBuilder.*; // Schema information about our part. HttpPartSchema schema = tArrayPipes(tArrayCsv(tInt64())).build();

The class hierarchy for the part marshallers are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.SimplePartSerializer} - Serializes directly to strings.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer} - Serializes to UON notation.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} - Serializes using Open-API schema rules.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.SimplePartParser} - Parses directly from strings.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} - Parses from UON notation.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser} - Parses using Open-API schema rules.

### 2.6 - Context Settings updated: 8.1.3,9.0.0

Serializers and parsers have a wide variety of configurable settings. Their builders all extend from the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder} class that allows you to easily construct new instances from scratch or build upon existing instances. For example, the following code shows how to configure a JSON serializer:

WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() // Create a JsonSerializer.Builder .simpleMode() // Simple mode .ws() // Use whitespace .sq() // Use single quotes .sortProperties() // Sort bean properties by name .build(); // Create a JsonSerializer

However, each of the serializers and parsers already contain reusable instances with common configurations. For example, JSON has the following predefined reusable serializers and parsers:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer#DEFAULT_READABLE DEFAULT_READABLE}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer#DEFAULT_READABLE DEFAULT_READABLE}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser#DEFAULT_STRICT DEFAULT_STRICT}

These can be used directly, as follows:

// Serialize a POJO to LAX JSON. String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(myPojo);

For performance reasons, serializers and parsers are immutable. However, they can be 'copied' and modified using the copy() method.

// Clone and customize an existing serializer. WriterSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT .copy() // Create a new builder with copied settings. .quoteChar('"') // Use a different quote character. .build();

Default values for configurable settings can be set globally using either system properties or environment variables.
For example, the default useWhitespace setting can be set by either the system property "WriterSerializer.useWhitespace" or environment variable "WRITERSERIALIZER_USEWHITESPACE". The builder setters will identify when default values can be set this way.

### 2.7 - Context Annotations created: 8.1.0, updated: 8.1.3,8.2.0,9.0.0

All configurable properties described in the previous section have annotation equivalents that can be applied on classes or methods.

In the section on the REST server API, we describe how to configure serializers and parsers using @XConfig annotations like those shown below:

@Rest( path="/addressBook", title="Address Book REST API" ... ) @SerializerConfig(quoteChar="'") @RdfConfig(rdfxml_tab="5", addRootProperty="true") @BeanConfig(sortProperties="true", examples="Feed: $F{AddressBook_example.json}") @Bean(onClass=Address.class, properties="street,city,state") public class AddressBookResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

Config annotations defined on classes and methods can be applied to serializers and parsers using the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#applyAnnotations(Class...) applyAnnotations(Class...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#applyAnnotations(Method...) applyAnnotations(Method...)}

The following example shows how annotations defined on a dummy class can be applied to a serializer:

@SerializerConfig(quoteChar="'") @Bean(on="Address", properties="street,city,state") public static class DummyClass {} WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().applyAnnotations(DummyClass.class).build(); String json = serializer.toString(addressBean);

Config annotations are provided for all serializers and parsers:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanConfig BeanConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.csv.annotation.CsvConfig CsvConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlConfig HtmlConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig HtmlDocConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.JsonConfig JsonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.JsonSchemaConfig JsonSchemaConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.annotation.MsgPackConfig MsgPackConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.annotation.OpenApiConfig OpenApiConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.annotation.ParserConfig ParserConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.annotation.PlainTextConfig PlainTextConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.RdfConfig RdfConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.annotation.SerializerConfig SerializerConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.soap.annotation.SoapXmlConfig SoapXmlConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.annotation.UonConfig UonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncodingConfig UrlEncodingConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlConfig XmlConfig}

Annotations normally applied to bean classes/methods/fields/parameters can also be programmatically attatched to beans by using the "on" or "onClass" annotation values as seen on the @Bean annotation in the example above. These include:

Annotations can also be applied directly to serializers and parsers using the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#annotations(Annotation...) annotations(Annotation...)}

The following example shows a concrete implementation of an interface can be applied to a serializer:

public class Address {...} Bean ba = new BeanAnnotation("Address").properties("street,city,state"); WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().annotations(ba).build(); String json = serializer.toString(addressBean); // Will print street,city,state

Concrete annotation implementations are provided for all annotations.

Any number of matching config or concrete annotations can be applied. They are applied in the order they are provided to the context. Therefore any values can be overridden. Config and concrete annotations also override any class or method level annotations

@Bean(properties="street,city") // Will be overridden public class Address {...} Bean beanAnnotation = new BeanAnnotation("Address").properties("street,city,state"); WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().annotations(beanAnnotation).build(); String json = serializer.toString(addressBean); // Will print street,city,state

- {@doc g.Annotations Annotations Glossary} for the list of all annotations defined.

### 2.8 - JsonMap and JsonList updated: 8.2.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} and {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList} classes are generic Java representations of JSON objects and arrays. These classes can be used to create "unstructured" models for serialization (as opposed to "structured" models consisting of beans). If you want to quickly generate JSON/XML/HTML from generic maps/collections, or parse JSON/XML/HTML into generic maps/collections, these classes work well.

These classes extend directly from the following JCF classes:

- {@link java.util.LinkedHashMap java.util.LinkedHashMap}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap}
- {@link java.util.LinkedList java.util.LinkedList}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList}

The JsonMap and JsonList classes are very similar to the JSONObject and JSONArray classes found in other libraries. However, the names were chosen because the concepts of Maps and Lists are already familiar to Java programmers, and these classes can be used with any of the serializers or parsers.

These object can be serialized in one of two ways:

1. Using the provided {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap#writeTo(java.io.Writer)} or {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList#writeTo(java.io.Writer)} methods.
2. Passing them to one of the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer} serialize methods.
3. Simply calling the {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap#toString()} or {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList#toString()} methods which will serialize it as Simplified JSON.

Any valid JSON can be parsed into an unstructured model consisting of generic {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} and {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList} objects. (Any valid XML can also be parsed into an unstructured model)

// Parse an arbitrary JSON document into an unstructered data model // consisting of JsonMaps, JsonLists, and java primitive objects. Parser parser = JsonParser.DEFAULT; String json = "{a:{name:'John Smith',age:21},b:{name:'Joe Smith',age:42}}"; JsonMap map = parser.parse(json, JsonMap.class); // Use JsonMap API to extract data from the unstructured model. int johnSmithAge = map.getMap("a").getInt("age"); // Convert it back into JSON. json = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(map); // Or convert it to XML. String xml = XmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(map); // Or just use toString(). json = map.toString();

The JsonMap and JsonList classes have many convenience features:

// Convert the map to a bean. MyBean myBean = map.cast(MyBean.class); // Find entries by multiple keys. MyBean myBean = map.find(MyBean.class, "key1", "key2"); // Fluent-style appenders. map.append("key1", "val1").append("key2", "val2"); // REST-like functions for manipulating nodes in the data structure using URL-like notation. map.getAt("foo/bar/myBean", MyBean.class); map.putAt("foo/bar/myBean", MyBean.class); map.postAt("foo/bar/myListOfBeans", MyBean.class); map.deleteAt("foo/bar/myBean"); // Copy with inclusion or exclusion. JsonMap map2 = map.include("key1", "key2", "key3"); JsonMap map3 = map.exclude("key1", "key2", "key3"); // Serialize using another serializer. String xml = map.serializeTo(XmlSerializer.DEFAULT); // Nested maps. map.inner(anotherMap);

As a general rule, if you do not specify a target type during parsing, or if the target type cannot be determined through reflection, the parsers automatically generate JsonMaps and JsonLists.

### 2.9 - Complex Data Types created: 9.0.0

The Juneau parsers have the ability to parse into complex data types that consist of multidimensional arrays and nested maps and collections using the methods below:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,Class) parse(Object,Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,Type,Type...) parse(Object,Type,Type...)}

Arrays are simple enough and can be constructed using the first method:

ReaderParser parser = JsonParser.DEFAULT; String json = "[1,2,3]"; int[] array = parser.parse(json, int[].class);

For data types consisting of nested collections an maps such as Map<String,List<MyBean>>, you need to use the second parse method that allows you to define the parameter types of the collections classes. For example:

String json = "{foo:[{bar:'baz'}]}"; TreeMap<String,List<MyBean>> map = parser.parse( json, // Input being parsed. TreeMap.class, // Top-level data type. String.class, // Key type of map. LinkedList.class, // Value type of map. MyBean.class // Value type of list. );

Collection classes are assumed to be followed by zero or one objects indicating the element type.
Map classes are assumed to be followed by zero or two meta objects indicating the key and value types.
The arguments can be arbitrarily long to indicate arbitrarily complex data structures.

Similar methods for converting to complex types can be found on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestContent} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestHttpPart} classes, and the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession#convertToType(Object,Type,Type...)} method.

### 2.10 - SerializerSets and ParserSets updated: 9.0.0

On top of the serializers and parsers are the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserSet} classes. These classes allow serializers and parsers to be grouped and retrieved by W3C-compliant HTTP Accept and Content-Type values...

// Construct a new serializer group with configuration parameters that get applied // to all serializers. SerializerSet serializers = SerializerSet.create() .add(JsonSerializer.class, UrlEncodingSerializer.class) .forEach(x -> x.swaps(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoLocalDateTime.class)) .forEachWS(x -> x.ws()) // or .useWhitespace(true) .build(); // Find the appropriate serializer by Accept type and serialize our POJO to the // specified writer. serializers .getSerializer("text/invalid, text/json;q=0.8, text/*;q:0.6, *\/*;q=0.0") .serialize(myPerson, myWriter); // Construct a new parser group with configuration parameters that get applied to all parsers. ParserSet parsers = ParserSet.create() .add(JsonSerializer.class, UrlEncodingSerializer.class) .forEach(x -> x.swaps(CalendarSwap.IsoLocalDateTime.class)) .build(); Person myPerson = parsers .getParser("text/json") .parse(myReader, Person.class);

The REST servlet API builds upon the SerializerSet and ParserSet classes to provide annotated REST servlets that automatically negotiate the HTTP media types and allow the developer to work with requests and responses as POJOs.

### 2.11 - Swaps updated: 9.0.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap Swaps} are a critical component of Juneau. They allow the serializers and parsers to handle Java objects that wouldn't normally be serializable.

Swaps are, simply put, 'object swappers' that swap in serializable objects for non-serializable ones during serialization, and vis-versa during parsing.

Some examples of non-serializable objects are File, Reader, Iterable, etc... These are classes that aren't beans and cannot be represented as simple maps, collections, or primitives.

In the following example, we introduce a ObjectSwap that will swap in a bean of a particular type with a map containing customized key-value pairs:

// Sample swap for converting a bean to a specialized map of key-value pairs. public class MyBeanSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyBean,JsonMap> { // Converts a bean to a generic map. @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public JsonMap swap(BeanSession session, MyBean bean) { return JsonMap.of("foo", bean.getBar()); } // Converts the generic map back into a bean. @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public MyBean unswap(BeanSession session, JsonMap map, ClassMeta<?> hint) throws Exception { MyBean bean = new MyBean(); bean.setBar(map.getString("foo")); return bean; } }

The swap can then be associated with serializers and parsers like so:

// Create a new JSON serializer with our swap. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().simple().swaps(MyBeanSwap.class).build(); String json = serializer.serialize(new MyBean()); // Create a JSON parser with our swap. ReaderParser parser = JsonParser.create().swaps(MyBeanSwap.class).build(); MyBean bean = parser.parse(json, MyBean.class);

Another example of a ObjectSwap is one that converts byte[] arrays to BASE64-encoded strings:

public class ByteArrayBase64Swap extends StringSwap<byte[]> { @Override /* StringSwap */ public String swap(byte[] bytes) throws Exception { ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); OutputStream b64os = MimeUtility.encode(baos, "base64"); b64os.write(bytes); b64os.close(); return new String(baos.toByteArray()); } @Override /* StringSwap */ public byte[] unswap(String string, ClassMeta<?> hint) throws Exception { byte[] bytes = string.getBytes(); ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes); InputStream b64is = MimeUtility.decode(bais, "base64"); byte[] tmp = new byte[bytes.length]; int n = b64is.read(tmp); byte[] res = new byte[n]; System.arraycopy(tmp, 0, res, 0, n); return res; } }

The following example shows the BASE64 swap in use:

// Create a JSON serializer and register the BASE64 encoding swap with it. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().simple().swaps(ByteArrayBase64Swap.class).build(); ReaderParser parser = JsonParser.create().swaps(ByteArrayBase64Swap.class).build(); byte[] bytes = {1,2,3}; String json = serializer.serialize(bytes); // Produces "'AQID'" bytes = parser.parse(json, byte[].class); // Reproduces {1,2,3} byte[][] bytes2d = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},null}; json = serializer.serialize(bytes2d); // Produces "['AQID','BAUG',null]" bytes2d = parser.parse(json, byte[][].class); // Reproduces {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},null}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder#swap(Class,Class,ThrowingFunction)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder#swap(Class,Class,ThrowingFunction,ThrowingFunction)} methods are another way to define swaps by using functions.

// Use a function to convert beans to strings. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .simple() .swap(MyBean.class, String.class, x -> myBeanStringifier(x)) .build();

##### 2.11.1 - Default Swaps

By default, all serializers and parsers have built in ObjectSwaps defined for the following common data types:

- {@link java.util.Enumeration}
- {@link java.util.Iterator}
- {@link java.util.Locale}
- {@link java.util.Class}
- {@link java.util.Calendar}
- {@link java.util.Date}
- {@link java.time.Instant}
- {@link java.time.ZonedDateTime}
- {@link java.time.LocalDate}
- {@link java.time.LocalDateTime}
- {@link java.time.LocalTime}
- {@link java.time.OffsetDateTime}
- {@link java.time.OffsetTime}
- {@link java.time.Year}
- {@link java.time.YearMonth}
- {@link java.time.Temporal}
- {@link java.util.TimeZone}
- {@link javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar}
- {@link java.time.ZoneId}

Various other swaps are provided in the {@link org.apache.juneau.swaps} package.

##### 2.11.2 - Auto-detected swaps created: 8.1.0

Various methods can be defined on a class directly to affect how it gets serialized. This can often be simpler than using ObjectSwaps.

Objects serialized as Strings can be parsed back into their original objects by implementing one of the following methods on the class:

- public static T fromString(String) method.
  Any of the following method names also work:
  - valueOf(String)
  - parse(String)
  - parseString(String)
  - forName(String)
  - forString(String)
- public T(String) constructor.

Note that these methods cover conversion from several built-in Java types, meaning the parsers can automatically construct these objects from strings:

- fromString(String) - {@link java.util.UUID}
- valueOf(String) - {@link java.lang.Boolean}, {@link java.lang.Byte}, {@link java.lang.Double}, {@link java.lang.Float}, {@link java.lang.Integer}, {@link java.lang.Long}, {@link java.lang.Short}, {@link java.sql.Date}, {@link java.sql.Time}, {@link java.sql.Timestamp}
- parse(String) - {@link java.text.DateFormat}, {@link java.text.MessageFormat}, {@link java.text.NumberFormat}, {@link java.util.Date}, {@link java.util.logging.Level}
- parseString(String) - {@link javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter}
- forName(String) - {@link java.lang.Class}

If you want to force a bean-like class to be serialized as a string, you can use the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore} annotation on the class to force it to be serialized to a string using the toString() method.

Serializing to other intermediate objects can be accomplished by defining a swap method directly on the class:

- public X swap() method, where X is any serializable object.
- public X swap(BeanSession) method, where X is any serializable object.
- public static MyPojo unswap(X) method, where X is any serializable object.
- public static MyPojo swap(X,BeanSession) method, where X is any serializable object.

Serializing to and from Maps can be accomplished by defining any of the following methods:

- public Map toMap() method.
  Can be any type of map with string keys and object vals.
- public JsonMap toMap() method.
- public Map toMap(BeanSession) method.
  Can be any type of map with string keys and object vals.
- public JsonMap toMap(BeanSession) method.
- public static MyPojo fromMap(Map) method.
  Can be any type of map with string keys and object vals.
- public static MyPojo fromMap(JsonMap) method.
- public static MyPojo fromMap(Map,BeanSession) method.
  Can be any type of map with string keys and object vals.
- public static MyPojo fromMap(JsonMap,BeanSession) method.

The BeanSession parameter allows you access to various information about the current serialization session. For example, you could provide customized results based on the media type being produced ({@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession#getMediaType()}).

The following example shows how an HTML5 form template object can be created that gets serialized as a populated HTML5 {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.Form} bean.

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; /** * A simple HTML form template whose serialized form is an HTML5 Form object. */ public class FormTemplate { private String action; private int value1; private boolean value2; // Some constructor that initializes our fields. public FormTemplate(String action, int value1, boolean value2) { this.action = action; this.value1 = value1; this.value2 = value2; } // Special swap method that converts this template to a serializable bean public Form swap(BeanSession session) { return form(action, input("text").name("v1").value(value1), input("text").name("v2").value(value2) ); } }

Swapped objects can be converted back into their original form by the parsers by specifying one of the following methods:

- public static T unswap(BeanSession, X) method where X is the swap class type.
- public T(X) constructor where X is the swap class type.

The following shows how our form template class can be modified to allow the parsers to reconstruct our original object:

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; /** * A simple HTML form template whose serialized form is an HTML5 Form object. * This time with parsing support. */ @Bean(dictionary=HtmlBeanDictionary.class) public class FormTemplate { private String action; private int value1; private boolean value2; // Our 'unswap' constructor public FormTemplate(Form form) { this.action = form.getAttr("action"); this.value1 = form.getChild(Input.class, 0) .getAttr(int.class, "value"); this.value2 = form.getChild(Input.class, 1) .getAttr(boolean.class, "value"); } public FormTemplate(String action, int value1, boolean value2) { this.action = action; this.value1 = value1; this.value2 = value2; } public Form swap(BeanSession session) { return form(action, input("text").name("v1").value(value1), input("text").name("v2").value(value2) ); } }

##### 2.11.3 - Per-media-type Swaps updated: 8.1.0,8.2.0

Swaps can also be defined per-media-type.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap#forMediaTypes()} method can be overridden to provide a set of media types that the swap is invoked on. It's also possible to define multiple swaps against the same object as long as they're differentiated by media type. When multiple swaps are defined, the best-match media type is used.

In the following example, we define 3 swaps against the same object. One for JSON, one for XML, and one for all other types.

public class ObjectSwapTest { public static class MyPojo {} public static class MyJsonSwap extends StringSwap<MyPojo> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/json"); } @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo pojo) throws Exception { return "It's JSON!"; } } public static class MyXmlSwap extends StringSwap<MyPojo> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/xml"); } @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo pojo) throws Exception { return "It's XML!"; } } public static class MyOtherSwap extends StringSwap<MyPojo> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/*"); } @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo pojo) throws Exception { return "It's something else!"; } } @Test public void doTest() throws Exception { SerializerSet serializers = SerializersSet.create() .add(JsonSerializer.class, XmlSerializer.class, HtmlSerializer.class) .forEach(x -> x.swaps(MyJsonSwap.class, MyXmlSwap.class, MyOtherSwap.class)) .forEachWS(x -> x.ws()) .build(); MyPojo myPojo = new MyPojo(); String json = seralizers.getWriterSerializer("text/json").serialize(myPojo); assertEquals("'It\\'s JSON!'", json); String xml = seralizers.getWriterSerializer("text/xml").serialize(myPojo); assertEquals("<string>It's XML!</string>", xml); String html = seralizers.getWriterSerializer("text/html").serialize(myPojo); assertEquals("<string>It's something else!</string>", html); } }

When multiple swaps match the same media type, a best-match algorithm is applied to find the correct swap to use.

In later sections we describe how annotations can be used to shorten this syntax:

@Swap(MyJsonSwap.class) @Swap(MyXmlSwap.class) @Swap(MyOtherSwap.class) public static class MyPojo {} @Swap(mediaTypes="*/json") public static class MyJsonSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyPojo,String> {...} @Swap(mediaTypes="*/xml") public static class MyXmlSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyPojo,String> {...} @Swap(mediaTypes="*/*") public static class MyOtherSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyPojo,String> {...}

##### 2.11.4 - One-way Swaps

In the previous sections, we defined two-way swaps, meaning swaps where the original objects could be reconstructing during parsing. However, there are certain kinds of objects that we may want to support for serializing, but that are not possible to reconstruct during parsing. For these, we can use one-way object swaps.

A one-way swap is simply an object transform that only implements the {@code swap()} method. The {@code unswap()} method is simply left unimplemented.

An example of a one-way swaps would be one that allows {@code Iterators} to be serialized as JSON arrays. It can make sense to be able to render {@code Iterators} as arrays, but in general it's not possible to reconstruct an {@code Iterator} during parsing.

public class IteratorSwap extends ObjectSwap<Iterator,List> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public List swap(Iterator iterator) { List list = new LinkedList(); while (iterator.hasNext()) list.add(iterator.next()); return list; } }

Here is an example of our one-way swap being used. Note that trying to parse the original object will cause a {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParseException} to be thrown.

// Create a JSON serializer that can serialize Iterators. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer.create().simple().swaps(IteratorSwap.class).build(); // Construct an iterator we want to serialize. Iterator iterator = JsonList.of(1,2,3).iterator(); // Serialize our Iterator String json = serializer.serialize(iterator); // Produces "[1,2,3]" // Try to parse it. ReaderParser parser = JsonParser.create().swaps(IteratorSwap.class).build(); iterator = parser.parse(json, Iterator.class); // Throws ParseException!!!

##### 2.11.5 - @Swap Annotation updated: 8.0.0,9.0.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap @Swap} can be used to associate a swap class using an annotation. This is often cleaner than using the builder swaps() method since you can keep your swap class near your POJO class.

@Swap(MyObjectSwap.class) public class MyPojo { ... } // Sample swap for converting MyPojo classes to a simple string. public class MyObjectSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyPojo,String> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo pojo) { return pojo.toSomeSerializableForm(); } }

Multiple swaps can be associated with a class using multiple {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap @Swap} annotations:

@Swap(MyJsonSwap.class) @Swap(MyXmlSwap.class) @Swap(MyOtherSwap.class) public class MyPojo {}

Readers get serialized directly to the output of a serializer. Therefore it's possible to implement a swap that provides fully-customized output.

public class MyJsonSwap extends ObjectSwap<MyPojo,Reader> { public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/json"); } public Reader swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo pojo) throws Exception { return new StringReader("{message:'Custom JSON!'}"); } }

The @Swap annotation can also be used on getters and setters as well to apply a swap to individual property values:

public class MyBean { private MyPojo myPojo; // Swap applied to bean property. @Beanp(swap=MyPojoSwap.class) public MyPojo getMyPojo() { return myPojo; } }

When applied to bean properties, the swap annotation need only be applied to either the getter, setter, or field.

The swap annotation can also be applied to the private field of a bean property, like so:

public class MyBean { @Beanp(swap=MyPojoSwap.class) private MyPojo myPojo; public MyPojo getMyPojo() { return myPojo; } public MyBean setMyPojo(MyPojo myPojo) { this.myPojo = myPojo; return this; } }

##### 2.11.6 - Templated Swaps

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap#template() @Swap(template)} annotation allows you to associate arbitrary contextual strings with swaps. The primary purpose is for providing template names, such as for Apache FreeMarker, therefore the name 'template'. However, the usage of the string is open-ended.

For example, you could pair a template string like so:

@Swap(impl=FreeMarkerSwap.class, template="MyPojo.div.ftl") public class MyPojo {}

The implementation of the FreeMarker swap would look something like this:

// Our templated swap class. public class FreeMarkerSwap extends ObjectSwap<Object,Reader> { public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { // Make sure this only applies to the HTML serializer. return MediaType.forStrings("*/html"); } public Reader swap(BeanSession session, Object object, String template) throws Exception { // Call some method that uses FreeMarker to convert 'o' to raw HTML using // the 'MyPojo.div.ftl' template. return getFreeMarkerReader(template, object); } }

##### 2.11.7 - Surrogate Classes

Surrogate classes are very similar in concept to ObjectSwaps except they're simpler to define.

For example, let's say we want to be able to serialize the following class, but it's not serializable for some reason (for example, there are no properties exposed):

// Not serializable because it's not a bean because it has no public properties. public class MyNonSerializableClass { protected String foo; }

This could be solved with the following ObjectSwap.

// A serializable bean with 1 property. public class MySerializableSurrogate { public String foo; } // An ObjectSwap that swaps out our non-serializable object with our serializable object. public class MySwap extends ObjectSwap<MyNonSerializableClass,MySerializableSurrogate> { @Override /* ObjectSwap */ public MySerializableSurrogate swap(MyNonSerializableClass object) { // Create some serializable class and manually copy the data into it. MySerializableSurrogate surrogate = new MySerializableSurrogate(); surrogate.foo = object.foo; return surrogate; } }

However, the same can be accomplished by using a surrogate class that simply contains a constructor with the non-serializable class as an argument:

public class MySerializableSurrogate { public String foo; // Constructor takes in our non-serializable object! public MySerializableSurrogate(MyNonSerializableClass object) { this.foo = object.foo; } }

The surrogate class is registered in the same way as a ObjectSwap:

// Create a JSON serializer that can serialize our unserializable object. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .swaps(MySerializableSurrogate.class) .build();

When the serializer encounters the non-serializable class, it will serialize an instance of the surrogate instead.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.Surrogate}

### 2.12 - Dynamically Applied Annotations created: 8.1.3, updated: 9.0.0

In the section {@doc jm.Swaps Swaps}, you were introduced to annotations that can be applied to bean classes, methods, fields, and constructors such as {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean}:

// Address class with only street/city/state properties (in that order). // All other properties are ignored. @Bean(properties="street,city,state") public class Address { ... }

An alternate way of applying these annotations is to attach them to unrelated classes and methods and then tell your serializer or parser where to find them.

// Unannotated class. public class Address { ... } @Bean(onClass=Address.class, properties="street,city,state") public static class DummyClass {} WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer .create() .applyAnnotations(DummyClass.class) .build(); String json = serializer.toString(addressBean);

The advantage to this approach is it allows you to use Juneau annotations on classes/methods/fields/constructors where you might not have access to the source code, or when you only want to selectively apply the annotation under certain scenarios instead of globally.

For example, the following shows the @Bean annotation being selectively applied on a single REST method (described later in {@doc juneau-rest-server}):

@RestGet @Bean(onClass=Address.class, properties="street,city,state") public List<Address> getAddresses() {}

Any Juneau annotation that has an on()/onClass() method can be applied dynamically this way. These include:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Example}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NameProperty}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentProperty}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Uri}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.csv.annotation.Csv}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.Schema}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.annotation.MsgPack}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.annotation.OpenApi}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.annotation.PlainText}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.soap.annotation.SoapXml}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.annotation.Uon}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncoding}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf}

The valid pattern matches are:

- Classes:
  - Fully qualified:
    - "com.foo.MyClass"
  - Fully qualified inner class:
    - "com.foo.MyClass$Inner1$Inner2"
  - Simple:
    - "MyClass"
  - Simple inner:
    - "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2"
    - "Inner1$Inner2"
    - "Inner2"
- Methods:
  - Fully qualified with args:
    - "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod(String,int)"
    - "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod(java.lang.String,int)"
    - "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod()"
  - Fully qualified:
    - "com.foo.MyClass.myMethod"
  - Simple with args:
    - "MyClass.myMethod(String,int)"
    - "MyClass.myMethod(java.lang.String,int)"
    - "MyClass.myMethod()"
  - Simple:
    - "MyClass.myMethod"
  - Simple inner class:
    - "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2.myMethod"
    - "Inner1$Inner2.myMethod"
    - "Inner2.myMethod"
- Fields:
  - Fully qualified:
    - "com.foo.MyClass.myField"
  - Simple:
    - "MyClass.myField"
  - Simple inner class:
    - "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2.myField"
    - "Inner1$Inner2.myField"
    - "Inner2.myField"
- Constructors:
  - Fully qualified with args:
    - "com.foo.MyClass(String,int)"
    - "com.foo.MyClass(java.lang.String,int)"
    - "com.foo.MyClass()"
  - Simple with args:
    - "MyClass(String,int)"
    - "MyClass(java.lang.String,int)"
    - "MyClass()"
  - Simple inner class:
    - "MyClass$Inner1$Inner2()"
    - "Inner1$Inner2()"
    - "Inner2()"
- A comma-delimited list of anything on this list.

### 2.13 - Bean Names and Dictionaries updated: 9.0.0

While parsing into beans, Juneau attempts to determine the class types of bean properties through reflection on the bean property getter or setter. Often this is insufficient if the property type is an interface or abstract class that cannot be instantiated. This is where bean names and dictionaries come into play.

Bean names and dictionaries are used for identifying class types when they cannot be inferred through reflection.

Bean classes are given names through the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} annotation. These names are then added to the serialized output as virtual "_type" properties (or element names in XML).

On the parsing side, these type names are resolved to classes through the use of bean dictionaries.

For example, if a bean property is of type Object, then the serializer will add "_type" attributes so that the class can be determined during parsing.

@Bean(typeName="foo") public class Foo { // A bean property where the object types cannot be inferred since it's an Object[]. @Beanp(dictionary={Bar.class,Baz.class}) public Object[] x = new Object[]{new Bar(), new Baz()}; } @Bean(typeName="bar") public class Bar {} @Bean(typeName="baz") public class Baz {}

When serialized as JSON, "_type" attributes would be added when needed to infer the type during parsing:

{ x: [ {_type:'bar'}, {_type:'baz'} ] }

Type names can be represented slightly differently in different languages. For example, the dictionary name is used as element names when serialized to XML. This allows the typeName annotation to be used as a shortcut for defining element names for beans.

When serialized as XML, the bean is rendered as:

<foo> <x> <bar/> <baz/> </x> </foo>

Bean dictionaries are registered through the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#dictionary() dictionary}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#dictionary() dictionary}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanDictionary(Class...) beanDictionary(Class...)}

The bean dictionary setting can consist of any of the following types:

- Any bean class that specifies a value for {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)}.
- Any subclass of {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanDictionaryList} containing a collection of bean classes with type name annotations.
- Any subclass of {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanDictionaryMap} containing a mapping of type names to classes without type name annotations.
- Any array or collection of the objects above.

// Create a parser and tell it which classes to try to resolve. ReaderParser parser = JsonParser .create() .dictionary(Foo.class, Bar.class) .build(); // Use the predefined HTML5 bean dictionary which is a BeanDictionaryList. ReaderParser parser = HtmlParser .create() .dictionary(HtmlBeanDictionary.class) .build();

The "_type" property name can be overridden through the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typePropertyName() typePropertyName}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#typePropertyName(String) typePropertyName(String)}

When using the annotation, you'll typically want to define it on an interface class so that it can be inherited by all subclasses.

@Bean(typePropertyName="mytype", dictionary={MyClass1.class,MyClass2.class}) public interface MyInterface {...} @Bean(typeName="C1") public class MyClass1 implements MyInterface {...} @Bean(typeName="C2") public class MyClass2 implements MyInterface {...} MyInterface[] x = new MyInterface[]{ new MyClass1(), new MyClass2() }; // Produces "[{mytype:'C1',...},{mytype:'C2',...}]" String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(x);

Type names do not need to be universally unique. However, they must be unique within a dictionary.
The following reserved words cannot be used as type names: object, array, number, boolean, null.
Serialized type names are DISABLED by default. They must be enabled on the serializer using the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#addBeanTypes()} setting.

##### 2.13.1 - Bean Subtypes

In addition to the bean type name support described above, simplified support is provided for bean subtypes.

Bean subtypes are similar in concept to bean type names, except for the following differences:

- You specify the list of possible subclasses through an annotation on a parent bean class.
- You do not need to register the subtype classes on the bean dictionary of the parser.

In the following example, the abstract class has two subclasses:

// Abstract superclass @Bean( dictionary={A1.class, A2.class} ) public abstract class A { public String f0 = "f0"; } // Subclass 1 @Bean(typeName="A1") public class A1 extends A { public String f1; } // Subclass 2 @Bean(typeName="A2") public class A2 extends A { public String f2; }

When serialized, the subtype is serialized as a virtual "_type" property:

JsonSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT; A1 object = new A1(); object.f1 = "f1"; String json = serilalizer.serialize(object); assertEquals("{_type:'A1',f1:'f1',f0:'f0'}", json);

The following shows what happens when parsing back into the original object.

JsonParser parser = JsonParser.DEFAULT; A object = parser.parse(json, A.class); assertTrue(object instanceof A1);

### 2.14 - Virtual Beans updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#disableInterfaceProxies()} setting (enabled by default) allows the Juneau parsers to parse content into virtual beans (bean interfaces without implementation classes).

For example, the following code creates an instance of the specified unimplemented interface:

// Our unimplemented interface public interface Address { String getStreet(); void setStreet(String value); String getCity(); void setCity(String value); StateEnum getState(); void setState(StateEnum value); int getZip(); void setZip(int value); } // Our code Address address = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse( "{street:'123 Main St', city:'Anywhere', state:'PR', zip:12345}", Address.class ); int zip = address.getZip(); address.setState(StateEnum.NY);

Getter and setter values can be any {@doc jm.PojoCategories parsable} values, even other virtual beans.

Under-the-covers, a virtual bean is simply a proxy interface on top of an existing {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanMap} instance. From a programmatic point-of-view, they're indistinguishable from real beans, and can be manipulated and serialized like any other bean.

Virtual beans can also be created programmatically using the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} class:

Address address = BeanContext.DEFAULT.createSession().newBean(Address.class);

### 2.15 - Non-Tree Models and Recursion Detection updated: 9.0.0

The Juneau Serializer API is designed to be used against POJO tree structures. It expects that there not be loops in the POJO model (e.g. children with references to parents, etc...). If you try to serialize models with loops, you will usually cause a StackOverflowError to be thrown (if {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder#maxDepth(int)} is not reached first).

If you still want to use the Juneau serializers on such models, Juneau provides the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder#detectRecursions()} setting. It tells the serializer to look for instances of an object in the current branch of the tree and skip serialization when a duplicate is encountered.

For example, let's make a POJO model out of the following classes:

public class A { public B b; } public class B { public C c; } public class C { public A a; }

Now we create a model with a loop and serialize the results.

// Clone an existing serializer and set property for detecting recursions. JsonSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer .DEFAULT_READABLE .copy() .detectRecursions() .build(); // Create a recursive loop. A a = new A(); a.b = new B(); a.b.c = new C(); a.b.c.a = a; // Serialize to JSON. String json = serializer.serialize(a);

What we end up with is the following, which does not serialize the contents of the c field:

{ b: { c: { } } }

Without recursion detection enabled, this would cause a stack-overflow error.

Recursion detection introduces a performance penalty of around 20%. For this reason the setting is disabled by default.

### 2.16 - Parsing into Generic Models updated: 8.2.0

The Juneau parsers are not limited to parsing back into the original bean classes. If the bean classes are not available on the parsing side, the parser can also be used to parse into a generic model consisting of Maps, Collections, and primitive objects.

You can parse into any Map type (e.g. HashMap, TreeMap), but using {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} is recommended since it has many convenience methods for converting values to various types. The same is true when parsing collections. You can use any Collection (e.g. HashSet, LinkedList) or array (e.g. Object[], String[], String[][]), but using {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList} is recommended.

When the map or list type is not specified, or is the abstract Map, Collection, or List types, the parser will use JsonMap and JsonList by default.

For example, given the following JSON:

{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith', uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1', addressBookUri: 'http://sample/addressBook', birthDate: '1946-08-12T00:00:00Z', addresses: [ { uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/address/1', personUri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1', id: 1, street: '100 Main Street', city: 'Anywhereville', state: 'NY', zip: 12345, isCurrent: true } ] }

We can parse this into a generic JsonMap:

// Parse JSON into a generic POJO model. JsonMap map = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(json, JsonMap.class); // Convert it back to JSON. String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT_READABLE.serialize(map);

What we end up with is the exact same output. Even the numbers and booleans are preserved because they are parsed into Number and Boolean objects when parsing into generic models.

{ id: 1, name: 'John Smith', uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1', addressBookUri: 'http://sample/addressBook', birthDate: '1946-08-12T00:00:00Z', addresses: [ { uri: 'http://sample/addressBook/address/1', personUri: 'http://sample/addressBook/person/1', id: 1, street: '100 Main Street', city: 'Anywhereville', state: 'NY', zip: 12345, isCurrent: true } ] }

Once parsed into a generic model, various convenience methods are provided on the JsonMap and JsonList classes to retrieve values:

// Parse JSON into a generic POJO model. JsonMap map = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(json, JsonMap.class); // Get some simple values. String name = map.getString("name"); int id = map.getInt("id"); // Get a value convertable from a String. URI uri = map.get(URI.class, "uri"); // Get a value using a swap. TemporalCalendarSwap swap = new TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant(); Calendar birthDate = map.get(swap, "birthDate"); // Get the addresses. JsonList addresses = map.getList("addresses"); // Get the first address and convert it to a bean. Address address = addresses.get(Address.class, 0);

As a general rule, parsing into beans is often more efficient than parsing into generic models. And working with beans is often less error prone than working with generic models.

### 2.17 - Reading Continuous Streams updated: 9.0.0

The following parsers can be configured to read continuous streams of objects from the same input stream:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.MsgPackParser}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser} and {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} classes can read continuous streams by using the {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder#unbuffered()} setting. This prevents the parsers from using an internal buffer that would read past the end of the currently parsed POJO.

##### Examples:

// If you're calling parse on the same input multiple times, use a session instead of the parser directly. ReaderParserSession session = JsonParser.create().unbuffered().build().createSession(); Object pojo; Reader reader; reader = new StringReader("{foo:'bar'}{baz:'qux'}"); pojo = session.parse(reader, JsonMap.class); // {foo:'bar'} pojo = session.parse(reader, JsonMap.class); // {baz:'qux'} reader = new StringReader("[123][456]"); pojo = session.parse(reader, int[].class); // [123] pojo = session.parse(reader, int[].class); // [456]

Note that this isn't perfect in all cases since you can't combine two JSON numbers into a single reader (e.g. "123" + "456" = "123456").

For obvious reasons, do not use the following properties when reading continuous streams:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser.Builder#validateEnd() validateEnd()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser.Builder#validateEnd() validateEnd()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder#autoCloseStreams() validateEnd()}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.MsgPackParser} class doesn't use any internal buffering to begin with, so it can be used with continuous streams without any special properties.

### 2.18 - URIs updated: 9.0.0

Juneau serializers have sophisticated support for transforming relative URIs to absolute form.

The following example shows a bean containing URIs of various forms and how they end up serialized.

// Our bean with properties containing various kinds of URIs. public class TestURIs { public URI a = URI.create("http://www.apache.org/a"), b = URI.create("/b"), c = URI.create("/c/x/y"), d = URI.create("d"), e = URI.create("e/x/y"), f = URI.create(""), g = URI.create("context:/g/x"), h = URI.create("context:/h"), i = URI.create("context:/"), j = URI.create("context:/.."), k = URI.create("servlet:/k/x"), l = URI.create("servlet:/l"), m = URI.create("servlet:/"), n = URI.create("servlet:/.."), o = URI.create("request:/o/x"), p = URI.create("request:/p"), q = URI.create("request:/"), r = URI.create("request:/.."); } // Create a serializer. WriterSerializer serializer = JsonSerializer create() .simple() .uriContext( UriContext.of( "http://foo.com:123", // Authority "/myContext", // Context root "/myServlet", // Servlet path "/myPath" // Path info ) ) .uriResolution(ABSOLUTE) .uriRelativity(RESOURCE) .build(); // Produces: // { // a:'http://www.apache.org/a', // b:'http://foo.com:123/b', // c:'http://foo.com:123/c/x/y', // d:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/d', // e:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/e/x/y', // f:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet', // g:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/g/x', // h:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/h', // i:'http://foo.com:123/myContext', // j:'http://foo.com:123' // k:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/k/x', // l:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/l', // m:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet', // n:'http://foo.com:123/myContext', // o:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath/o/x', // p:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath/p', // q:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath', // r:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet' // } String json = serializer.serialize(new TestURIs());

URI resolution is controlled by the following settings:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriContext(UriContext)}
  Setting that defines the URI contextual information used to resolve relative URIs.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriRelativity(UriRelativity)}
  Setting that defines how relative URIs should be interpreted.
  Possible values:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriRelativity#RESOURCE}
    Relative URIs should be considered relative to the servlet URI.
    (e.g. "http://host:port/context-root/servlet-path").
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriRelativity#PATH_INFO}
    Relative URIs should be considered relative to the request URI.
    (e.g. "http://host:port/context-root/servlet-path/path-info").
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriResolution(UriResolution)}
  Setting that defines the final format of serialized URIs.
  Possible values:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriResolution#ABSOLUTE}
    Resolve to an absolute URL.
    (e.g. "http://host:port/context-root/servlet-path/path-info").
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriResolution#ROOT_RELATIVE}
    Resolve to a root-relative URL.
    (e.g. "/context-root/servlet-path/path-info").
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriResolution#NONE}
    Don't do any URL resolution.

Juneau automatically interprets any {@link java.net.URL} and {@link java.net.URI} objects as URIs and will resolve them accordingly. The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Uri @Uri} annotation can be used to extend that to other bean properties and class types so that they also get interpreted as URIs. For example:

// Applied to a class whose toString() method returns a URI. @URI public class MyURI { @Override /* Object */ public String toString() { return "http://localhost:9080/foo/bar"; } } // Applied to bean properties public class MyBean { @URI public String beanUri; @URI public String getParentUri() { ... } }

### 2.19 - Comparison with Jackson updated: 9.0.0

Juneau was developed independently from Jackson, but shares many of the same features and capabilities. Whereas Jackson was created to work primarily with JSON, Juneau was created to work for multiple languages. Therefore, the terminology and annotations in Juneau are similar, but language-agnostic.

The following charts describe equivalent features between the two libraries:

##### Annotations

Jackson | Juneau
--- | ---
@JsonGetter @JsonSetter | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp @Beanp}
@JsonAnyGetter @JsonAnySetter | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#name() @Beanp(name="*")}
@JsonIgnore @JsonIgnoreType | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore}
@JsonIgnoreProperties({...}) | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#excludeProperties @Bean(excludeProperties|xp)}
@JsonAutoDetect(fieldVisibility=...) | No equivalent annotation, but can be controlled via: {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanFieldVisibility(Visibility)} {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanMethodVisibility(Visibility)}
@JsonCreator @JsonProperty | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc @Beanc}
@JacksonInject | No equivalent.
@JsonSerialize @JsonDeserialize | Juneau uses swaps to convert non-serializable object to serializable forms: {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap @Swap}
@JsonInclude | No equivalent annotation, but can be controlled via various settings: {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer}
@JsonPropertyOrder | {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#properties @Bean(properties="...")} {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#sort @Bean(sort=x)}
@JsonValue @JsonRawValue | Can be replicated using swaps with Reader swapped values.

### 2.20 - POJO Categories

In general, Juneau allows for marshalling for a wide variety of POJO types including:

The following chart shows POJOs categorized into groups and whether they can be serialized or parsed:

##### General POJO serialization/parsing support

Group | Description | Examples | Can serialize? | Can parse?
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
1 | Java primitives and primitive objects | {@code String} {@code Integer} {@code Float} {@code Boolean} | yes | yes
2 | Java Collections Framework objects, Java arrays, Java Optionals |  |  |
2a | With standard keys/values Map keys are group [1, 4a, 6a] objects. Map, Collection, Optional, and array values are group [1, 2, 3ac, 4a, 6a] objects. | HashSet<String,Integer> TreeMap<Integer,Bean> List<int[][]> Bean[] Optional<Bean> | yes | yes
2b | With non-standard keys/values Map keys are group [2, 3, 4b, 5, 6b, 7] objects. Map, Collection, and array values are group [3b, 4b, 5, 6b, 7] objects. | HashSet<Bean,Integer> TreeMap<Integer,Reader> Optional<Reader> | yes | no
3 | Java Beans |  |  |
3a | With standard properties These are beans that have one or more properties defined by public getter or public fields. Properties can also be defined as final read-only fields and passed in as constructor args. Property values are group [1, 2, 3ac, 4a, 6a] objects. |  | yes | yes
3b | With non-standard properties or not true beans These include true beans that have one or more properties defined by getter and setter methods or properties, but property types include group [3b, 4b, 5, 6b, 7] objects. This also includes classes that look like beans but aren't true beans. For example, classes that have getters but not setters, or classes without no-arg constructors. |  | yes | no
3c | Virtual beans These are unimplemented bean interfaces with properties of type [1, 2, 3ac, 4a, 6a] objects. Parsers will automatically create interface proxies on top of BeanMap instances. |  | yes | yes
3d | Read-only beans without setters The same as 3a, but without property setters or constructor args. |  | yes | no
4 | Swapped objects These are objects that are not directly serializable, but have {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap ObjectSwaps} associated with them. The purpose of a POJO swap is to convert an object to another object that is easier to serialize and parse. For example, the {@link org.apache.juneau.swaps.TemporalDateSwap.IsoLocalDateTime} class can be used to serialize {@link java.util.Date} objects to ISO8601 strings, and parse them back into {@link java.util.Date} objects. |  |  |
4a | 2-way swapped to group [1, 2a, 3ac] objects For example, a swap that converts a {@code Date} to a {@code String}. | java.util.Date java.util.GregorianCalendar | yes | yes
4b | 1-way swapped to group [1, 2, 3] objects For example, a swap that converts an {@code Iterator} to a {@code List}. This would be one way, since you cannot reconstruct an {@code Iterator}. | java.util.Iterator | yes | no
5 | Readers and InputStreams Contents are serialized directly to the output stream or writer. Typically used for low-level language-specific replacement of POJOs using per-Media-Type POJO swaps. | {@code FileInputStream} {@code StringReader} | yes | no
6 | Non-serializable objects with standard methods for converting to a serializable form |  |  |
6a | Classes with a method that converts it to a serializable form: public X swap(BeanSession); where X is in groups [1, 2a, 3ac]. public String toString(); where the string is any meaningful data. And a method that converts it back into the original object: public static T fromString(String); public static T valueOf(String); public static T parse(String); public static T parseString(String); public static T forName(String); public static T forString(String); public T(X); where X is in groups [1, 2a, 3ac]. public static T unswap(BeanSession,X); where X is in groups [1, 2a, 3ac]. | java.lang.Class java.sql.Time java.sql.Timestamp java.text.MessageFormat java.text.NumberFormat java.util.Date java.util.UUID java.util.logging.Level javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter | yes | yes
6b | Classes that only have a method to convert to a serializable form: public X swap(BeanSession); where X is in groups [1, 2, 3]. public String toString(); where the string is any meaningful data. |  | yes | no
7 | All other objects Anything that doesn't fall into one of the groups above are simply converted to {@code Strings} using the {@code toString()} method. |  | yes | no

Serializers are designed to work on tree-shaped POJO models. These are models where there are no referential loops (e.g. leaves with references to nodes, or nodes in one branch referencing nodes in another branch). There is a serializer setting {@code detectRecursions} to look for and handle these kinds of loops (by setting these references to null), but it is not enabled by default since it introduces a moderate performance penalty.

##### POJOs convertible to/from Strings

A separate category exists for POJOs that can be converted to and from Strings. These are used in places such as:

- Serializing of POJOs to Strings in the REST client API when no serializers are registered.
- Parsing of POJOs from Strings in the REST server API for "text/plain" requests where "text/plain" is not already mapped to an existing serializer.

As a general rule, all POJOs are converted to Strings using the toString() method. However, there is one exception:

- {@link java.util.TimeZone} - Uses {@link java.util.TimeZone#getID()}

POJOs are convertible from Strings using any of the following (matched in the specified order):

- Any any of the following public static non-deprecated methods:
  - create(String)
  - fromString(String)
  - fromValue(String)
  - valueOf(String)
  - parse(String)
  - parseString(String)
  - forName(String)
  - forString(String)
- Has a public constructor that takes in a String.

Exceptions exist for the following classes:

- {@link java.util.TimeZone} - Uses {@link java.util.TimeZone#getTimeZone(String)}
- {@link java.util.Locale} - Uses {@link java.util.Locale#forLanguageTag(String)} after replacing '_' with '-'.
- {@link java.lang.Boolean} - Blank and "null" are interpreted as null values.
- Primitives (except for void.class) - Uses the primitive wrapper classes for instantiating from Strings.

##### POJOs convertible to/from other types

POJOs are also converted to various other types in places such as the Open-API serializers and parsers. In this section, the type being converted to will be referred to as X.

POJOs are considered convertible from X if it has any of the following (matched in the specified order):

- Any any of the following public static non-deprecated methods:
  - create(X)
  - from*(X)
- Has a public constructor that takes in an X.
- The X class has a public non-static no-arg non-deprecated method called to*().

POJOs are considered convertible from X if any of the reverse of above are true.

### 2.21 - Fluent Assertions created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions} package in Juneau is a powerful API for performing fluent style assertions. It is used throughout the REST client and server APIs for performing inline assertions on REST requests and responses.

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with JSON support and download a bean. MyBean bean = RestClient.create() .simpleJson() .build() .get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200) .assertHeader("Content-Type").isMatches("application/json*") .getContent().assertValue().asString().isContains("OK") .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

- The REST API is described later in the documentation.

The assertions API is designed to be used in both code (as it's done in the REST APIs) or for standalone use in unit tests.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions} class provides various static methods for invoking assertions on a variety of object types for simplified unit testing.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertAny(Object) assertAny(T)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertArray(Object[]) assertArray(E[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBean(Object) assertBean(V)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBeanList(List) assertBeanList(List)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBoolean(Boolean) assertBoolean(Boolean)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBooleanArray(boolean[]) assertBooleanArray(boolean[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertByteArray(byte[]) assertByteArray(byte[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBytes(byte[]) assertBytes(byte[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertBytes(InputStream) assertBytes(InputStream)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertCharArray(char[]) assertCharArray(char[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertCollection(Collection) assertCollection(Collection)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertComparable(Comparable) assertComparable(T)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertDate(Date) assertDate(Date)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertDoubleArray(double[]) assertDoubleArray(double[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertFloatArray(float[]) assertFloatArray(float[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertIntArray(int[]) assertIntArray(int[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertInteger(Integer) assertInteger(Integer)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertList(List) assertList(List)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertLong(Long) assertLong(Long)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertLongArray(long[]) assertLongArray(long[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertMap(Map) assertMap(Map)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertObject(Object) assertObject(T)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertOptional(Optional) assertOptional(Optional)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertReader(Reader) assertReader(Reader)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertShortArray(short[]) assertShortArray(short[])}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertString(Object) assertString(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertStringList(List) assertStringList(List)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertThrowable(Throwable) assertThrowable(V)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertThrown(Snippet) assertThrown(Snippet)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertVersion(Version) assertVersion(Version)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions#assertZonedDateTime(ZonedDateTime) assertZonedDateTime(ZonedDateTime)}

##### Examples:

import static org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions.*; import static org.apache.juneau.assertions.AssertionPredicates.*; // Check the contents of a string. assertString("foo, bar") .asSplit(",") .asTrimmed() .isHas("foo", "bar"); // Extract a subset of properties from a list of beans and compare using Simplified JSON. List<MyBean> myListOfBeans = ...; assertBeanList(myListOfBeans) .asPropertyMap("a,b") .asJson().is("[{a:1,b:'foo'}]"); // Perform an arbitrary Predicate check against a bean. MyBean myBeans = ...; assertBean(myBeans) .is(x -> isValidCheck(x)) // Check that a list of strings has less than 10 entries and the first // 3 entries are [foo, bar*, null] using assertion predicates. List<String> myListOfStrings = ...; assertStringList(myListOfStrings) .asSize().isLt(10) .asFirst(3) .isEach(eq("foo"),match("bar*"),isNull()) // Check that an exception is thrown and is the specified type and has the specified message. assertThrown(()->myBean.runBadMethod()) .exists() .isExactType(RuntimeException.class) .asMessage().is("foo");

Assertions have 3 categories of methods:

- Testing methods.
- Transform methods.
- Configuration methods.

Testing methods perform an assertion on the specified value and throws a {@link java.lang.AssertionError} if the test fails. Otherwise, the method returns the original assertion object to allow you to chain the command. Testing methods start with is.

##### Example:

// Test a string. assertString(myString) .isNotNull() // Perform test and returns original FluentStringAssertion. .isNotEmpty(); // Perform test and returns original FluentStringAssertion.

Transform methods allow you to convert assertions of one type to another type or to convert the tested value to some other form wrapped in another assertion. Transform methods start with as.

##### Example:

// Customize the behavior of an assertion. assertString(myString) .asString() // Converts to a FluentIntegerAssertion. .isLt(100) // Runs test and returns original FluentStringAssertion. .asUc() // Converts string to uppercase and returns a new FluentStringAssertion. .isContains("FOO"); // Runs test and returns original FluentStringAssertion.

Configuration methods allow you to tailor the behavior of assertions when they fail. They always return the same assertion object. Transformed assertions inherit the configurations of the created-by assertions. Configuration methods start with set.

##### Example:

// Customize the behavior of an assertion. assertString(myString) .setMsg("My string was null. Value was {VALUE}.") // Custom error message when error occurs. .setOut(myPrintWriter) // Print error message to a separate writer. .setThrowable(MyAssertionThrowable.class) // Throw a customized assertion exception. .isNotNull();

The following shows the class hierarchy for the {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.IntegerAssertion IntegerAssertion} class showing the general design pattern for assertion classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertion Assertion} - Base class for all assertion objects containing common configuration methods.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentAssertion FluentAssertion<R>} - Parent class for all fluent assertions.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentObjectAssertion FluentObjectAssertion<T,R>} - Tests and transforms for general POJOs.
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentComparableAssertion FluentComparableAssertion<T extends Comparable,R>} - Tests and transforms for Comparables.
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentIntegerAssertion FluentIntegerAssertion<R>} - Tests and transforms for Integers.
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.IntegerAssertion IntegerAssertion} - Assertion that returns itself.

In the design, the "Fluent" classes (e.g. {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentIntegerAssertion}) allow you to specify the object that gets returned when the test method is executed. When used in the RestClient class for example, the return object is the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} object so that you can perform multiple fluent operations against that object. The "Normal" classes (e.g. {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.IntegerAssertion}) are simply subclasses of the fluent equivalent which return the assertion itself, meaning the test method returns the original {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.IntegerAssertion} so that multiple tests can be performed per assertion.

For more information about the capabilities of the Assertions API, refer to the methods on the {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.Assertions} methods above.

### 2.22 - Simple Variable Language

The {@link org.apache.juneau.svl} packages defines an API for a language called "Simple Variable Language". In a nutshell, Simple Variable Language (or SVL) is text that contains variables of the form "$varName{varKey}". It is used extensively in the Config, REST and Microservice APIs.

Most variables can be recursively nested within the varKey (e.g. "$FOO{$BAR{xxx},$BAZ{xxx}}") and can return values that themselves contain more variables.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver} class is used to resolve variables. The {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#DEFAULT} resolver is a reusable instance of this class configured with the following basic variables:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar} - $S{key[,default]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar} - $E{key[,default]}

The following logic variables are also provided:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.IfVar} - $IF{arg,then[,else]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SwitchVar} - $SW{arg,pattern1:then1[,pattern2:then2...]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.CoalesceVar} - $CO{arg1[,arg2...]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternMatchVar} - $PM{arg,pattern}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternReplaceVar} - $PR{arg,pattern,replace}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternExtractVar} - $PE{arg,pattern,groupIndex}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.NotEmptyVar} - $NE{arg}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.UpperCaseVar} - $UC{arg}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar} - $LC{arg}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LenVar} - $LN{arg[,delimiter]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SubstringVar} - $ST{arg,start[,end]}

##### Example:

// Use the default variable resolver to resolve a string that contains // $S (system property) variables. String property = VarResolver.DEFAULT.resolve("The Java home directory is $S{java.home}");

The following shows how variables can be arbitrarily nested...

// Look up a property in the following order: // 1) MYPROPERTY environment variable. // 2) 'my.property' system property if environment variable not found. // 3) 'not found' string if system property not found. String property = VarResolver.DEFAULT.resolve("$E{MYPROPERTY,$S{my.property,not found}}");

##### 2.22.1 - SVL Variables updated: 8.0.0,8.1.0

Variables are defined through the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} API. The API comes with several predefined variables and is easily extensible.

The following is an example of a variable that performs URL-Encoding on strings.

// First create our var. public class UrlEncodeVar extends SimpleVar { // Must have a no-arg constructor! public UrlEncodeVar() { super("UE"); } // The method we must implement @Override public String resolve(VarResolverSession session, String key) { return URLEncoder.encode(key, "UTF-8"); } } // Next create a var resolver that extends the existing DEFAULT resolver // that supports resolving system properties. VarResolver varResolver = VarResolver.DEFAULT .copy() .vars(UrlEncodeVar.class) .build(); // Retrieve a system property and URL-encode it if necessary. String myProperty = varResolver.resolve("$UE{$S{my.property}}");

The following shows the class hierarchy of the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} class:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} - Superclass of all vars.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.SimpleVar} - Superclass of all vars that return strings.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.DefaultingVar} - Variables that define a default value if the resolve method returns null.
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.MapVar} - Variables that pull values from maps.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.MultipartVar} - Variables that consist of 2 or more comma-delimited arguments.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.StreamedVar} - Superclass of all vars that stream their value to writers.

The following is the list of default variables defined in all modules:

Module | Class | Pattern
--- | --- | ---
juneau-svl | {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar} | $E{key[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar} | $S{key[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ArgsVar} | $A{key[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ManifestFileVar} | $MF{key[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.IfVar} | $IF{arg,then[,else]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SwitchVar} | $SW{arg,pattern1:then1[,pattern2:then2...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.CoalesceVar} | $CO{arg1[,arg2...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternMatchVar} | $PM{arg,pattern}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternReplaceVar} | $PR{arg,pattern,replace}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternExtractVar} | $PE{arg,pattern,groupdIndex}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.NotEmptyVar} | $NE{arg}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.UpperCaseVar} | $UC{arg}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar} | $LC{arg}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LenVar} | $LN{arg[,delimiter]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SubstringVar} | $ST{arg,start[,end]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlWidgetVar} | $W{name}
juneau-config | {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar} | $C{key[,default]}
juneau-rest-server | {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar} | $F{path[,default]}}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.ServletInitParamVar} | $I{name[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.LocalizationVar} | $L{key[,args...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestAttributeVar} | $RA{key1[,key2...]}

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestQueryVar} | $RQ{key1[,key2...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestSwaggerVar} | $RS{key}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestVar} | $R{key1[,key2...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.SerializedRequestAttrVar} | $SA{contentType,key[,default]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.SwaggerVar} | $SS{key1[,key2...]}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.UrlVar} | $U{uri}>
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.UrlEncodeVar} | $UE{uriPart}

##### 2.22.2 - VarResolvers and VarResolverSessions updated: 9.0.0

The main class for performing variable resolution is {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver}. Two methods are provided for resolving variables:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#resolve(String) resolve(String)} - Resolves variables and returns the results as a simple string.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#resolveTo(String,Writer) resolveTo(String,Writer)} - Resolves variables and sends results to a writer.

Var resolvers can rely on the existence of other objects. For example, {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar} relies on the existence of a {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}. This is accomplished through the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver.Builder#bean(Class,Object) bean(Class<T>, T)} - Specify a bean for all sessions.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolverSession}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolverSession#bean(Class,Object) bean(Class<T>, T)} - Specify a bean for this session.

Beans are accessible through the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolverSession#getBean(Class)}

Var resolvers can be cloned and extended by using the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#copy()} method. Cloning a resolver will copy it's {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} class names and context objects.

##### Example:

// Create a resolver that copies the default resolver and adds $C and $A vars. VarResolver myVarResolver = VarResolver .DEFAULT .copy() .vars(ConfigVar.class, ArgsVar.class) .build();

##### 2.22.3 - VarResolver.DEFAULT created: 8.1.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#DEFAULT} is a reusable variable resolver with default support for the following variables:

- $S{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar}
- $E{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar}
- $A{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ArgsVar}
- $MF{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ManifestFileVar}
- $SW{stringArg,pattern:thenValue[,pattern:thenValue...]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SwitchVar}
- $IF{arg,then[,else]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.IfVar}
- $CO{arg[,arg2...]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.CoalesceVar}
- $PM{arg,pattern} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternMatchVar}
- $PR{stringArg,pattern,replace}- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternReplaceVar}
- $PE{arg,pattern,groupIndex} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternExtractVar}
- $UC{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.UpperCaseVar}
- $LC{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar}
- $NE{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.NotEmptyVar}
- $LN{arg[,delimiter]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LenVar}
- $ST{arg,start[,end]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SubstringVar}

##### 2.22.4 - Other Notes

- The escape character '\' can be used when necessary to escape the following characters: $ , { }
- WARNING: It is possible to cause {@link java.lang.StackOverflowError StackOverflowErrors} if your nested variables result in a recursive loop (e.g. the environment variable 'MYPROPERTY' has the value '$E{MYPROPERTY}'). So don't do that!
- As a general rule, this class tries to be as efficient as possible by not creating new strings when not needed.
  For example, calling the resolve method on a string that doesn't contain variables (e.g. resolver.resolve("foobar")) will simply be a no-op and return the same string.

### 2.23 - Encoders created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders} package defines an API for handling encoding-based matching of Accept-Encoding/Content-Encoding HTTP headers. It consists of the following classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.IdentityEncoder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.GzipEncoder}

##### EncoderSet

The {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet} class represents the set of {@link Encoder encoders} keyed by codings. It maintains a set of encoders and the codings that they can handle. The {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet#getEncoderMatch(String) getEncoderMatch(String)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet#getEncoder(String)} methods are then used to find appropriate encoders for specific Accept-Encoding and Content-Encoding header values.

##### Match ordering

Encoders are tried in the order they appear in the set. The {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet.Builder#add(Class...)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderSet.Builder#add(Encoder...)} methods prepend the values to the list to allow them the opportunity to override encoders already in the list.

For example, calling `builder.add(E1.class,E2.class).add(E3.class, E4.class)` will result in the order E3, E4, E1, E2.

##### Example:

// Create an encoder group with support for gzip compression. EncoderSet encoders = EncoderSet .create() .add(GzipEncoder.class) .build(); // Should return "gzip" String matchedCoding = encoders.findMatch("compress;q=1.0, gzip;q=0.8, identity;q=0.5, *;q=0"); // Get the encoder Encoder encoder = encoders.getEncoder(matchedCoding);

##### Encoder API

The {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder} interface is used for enabling decompression on requests and compression on responses, such as support for GZIP compression. It is used to wrap input and output streams within compression/decompression streams.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder#getCodings() getCodings()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder#getInputStream(InputStream) getInputStream(InputStream)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder#getOutputStream(OutputStream) getOutputStream(OutputStream)}

Encoders are registered with RestServlets through the @Rest(encoders) annotation.

### 2.24 - HTTP Parts created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http} package contains a slew of useful extensions to the Apache HttpComponents libraries and define APIs used extensively in the REST server and client APIs.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http} - Utility classes used for HTTP parts/headers/entities.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation} - Swagger-based annotations used on both server-side APIs and client-side proxy interfaces.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.entity} - HTTP entity classes.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header} - HTTP header classes.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.resource} - HTTP resource classes.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response} - HTTP response classes.

These APIs extend from the Apache HttpComponents libraries and can be used with libraries based on it such as Apache HttpClient. The REST Client API described later is built on top of Apache HttpClient and many of the classes defined in this package make up integral components of that API. Likewise, the APIs defined here are also used in the REST Server APIs also described later.

##### 2.24.1 - org.apache.juneau.http created: 9.0.0

The capabilities of the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} class is described later.

##### HttpEntities

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.HttpEntities} class contains convenience static methods for generating HTTP message entities. Returned objects extend from {@code org.apache.http.HttpEntity} but provides the following additional features:

- Caching.
- Fluent setters.
- Fluent assertions.
- Externally-supplied/dynamic content.

The following methods are provided for creating entities. Each accepts either static values or values from {@link java.util.function.Supplier Suppliers} and returns builders:

HTTP entities are automatically supported in both the server and client REST APIs for requests and responses.

##### HttpResources

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.HttpResources} class contains convenience static methods for generating HTTP message resources. Returned objects extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.http.resource.HttpResource} which extends from {@link org.apache.juneau.http.HttpEntity} but with additional arbitrary headers.

The following methods are provided for creating entities. Each accepts either static values or values from {@link java.util.function.Supplier Suppliers} and are in the form of builders.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.Via}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.Warning}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.WwwAuthenticate}

These headers extend from the following classes that provide data-type specific functionality:

- {@code org.apache.http.NameValuePair}

      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicEntityTagHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicEntityTagsHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicIntegerHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicLongHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicMediaRangesHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicMediaTypeHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicStringHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicStringRangesHeader}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicUriHeader}

These subclasses provide various convenience methods to allow for easy fluent-style coding.

##### Examples

// Validates the response body content is not expired. restClient .get(URL) .run() .getHeader("Expires").asDateHeader().assertZonedDateTime().isLessThan(new Date());

##### HeaderList

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList} class is a thread-safe immutable list of HTTP headers.

##### Example

// Construct using builder. HeaderList headers = HeaderList .create() .append(Accept.of("text/xml")) .append("Content-Type", ()->getDynamicContentTypeFromSomewhere()) .build(); // Construct using convenience creator. HeaderList headers = HeaderList.of(Accept.TEXT_XML, ContentType.TEXT_XML);

Header lists are immutable, but can be appended to using the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#copy() copy()} method:

headers = headers .copy() .append(AcceptEncoding.of("identity")) .build();

Static methods are provided on {@link org.apache.juneau.http.HttpHeaders} to further simplify creation of header lists.

import static org.apache.juneau.http.HttpHeaders.*; HeaderList headers = headerList(accept("text/xml"), contentType("text/xml"));

The builder class supports setting default header values (i.e. add a header to the list if it isn't otherwise in the list). Note that this is different from simply setting a value twice as using default values will not overwrite existing headers.
The following example notes the distinction:

headers = HeaderList .create() .set(Accept.TEXT_PLAIN) .set(Accept.TEXT_XML) .build(); assertObject(headers).isString("[Accept: text/xml]"); headers = HeaderList .create() .set(Accept.TEXT_PLAIN) .setDefault(Accept.TEXT_XML) .build(); assertObject(headers).isString("[Accept: text/plain]");

Various methods are provided for iterating over the headers in this list to avoid array copies.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#forEach(Consumer) forEach(Consumer)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#forEach(String,Consumer) forEach(String,Consumer)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#forEach(Predicate,Consumer) forEach(Predicate,Consumer)} - Use consumers to process headers.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#iterator() iterator()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#iterator(String) iterator(String)} - Use an {@link HeaderIterator} to process headers.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#stream() stream()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#stream(String) stream(String)} - Use a stream.

In general, try to use these over the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#getAll() getAll()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#getAll(String) getAll(String)} methods that require array copies.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#get(String) get(String)} method is special in that it will collapse multiple headers with the same name into a single comma-delimited list (see RFC 2616 Section 4.2 for rules).

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#get(Class) get(Class)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)} methods are provided for working with {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}-annotated beans.

##### Example

ContentType contentType = headers.get(ContentType.class);

By default, header names are treated as case-insensitive. This can be changed using the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList.Builder#caseSensitive() caseSensitive()} method.

A {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver} can be associated with this builder to create header values with embedded variables that are resolved at runtime.

##### Example

// Create a header list with dynamically-resolving values pulled from a system property. System.setProperty("foo", "bar"); HeaderList headers = HeaderList .create() .resolving() .append("X1", "$S{foo}") .append("X2", ()->"$S{foo}") .build(); assertObject(headers).isString("[X1: bar, X2: bar]");

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.HeaderList} object can be extended to defined pre-packaged lists of headers which can be used in various annotations throughout the framework.

##### Example

// A predefined list of headers. public class MyHeaderList extends HeaderList { public MyHeaderList() { super(Accept.TEXT_XML, ContentType.TEXT_XML); } } // Use it on a remote proxy to add headers on all requests. @Remote(path="/petstore", headerList=MyHeaderList.class) public interface PetStore { @RemotePost("/pets") Pet addPet( @Content CreatePet createPet, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ); }

##### 2.24.4 - org.apache.juneau.http.part created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part} package contains implementations of org.apache.http.NameValuePair to be used for query/form-data/path parts and part lists.

- {@code org.apache.http.NameValuePair}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicBooleanPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicCsvArrayPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicDatePart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicIntegerPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicLongPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicPartIterator}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicStringPart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.BasicUriPart}

##### PartList

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} class is a thread-safe immutable list of HTTP parts (form-data, query-parameters, path-parameters).

##### Example

PartList parts = PartList .create() .append(MyPart.of("foo")) .append("Bar", ()->getDynamicValueFromSomewhere()) .build();

Convenience creators are provided for creating lists with minimal code:

PartList parts = PartList.of(BasicIntegerPart.of("foo", 1));

Part lists are immutable, but can be appended to using the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#copy() copy()} method:

parts = parts .copy() .append(BasicIntegerPart.of("foo", 1)) .build();

Static methods are provided on {@link org.apache.juneau.http.HttpParts} to further simplify creation of part lists.

import static org.apache.juneau.http.HttpParts.*; PartList parts = partList(integerPart("foo", 1), booleanPart("bar", false));

The builder class supports setting default part values (i.e. add a part to the list if it isn't otherwise in the list). Note that this is different from simply setting a value twice as using default values will not overwrite existing parts.
The following example notes the distinction:

parts = PartList .create() .set("Foo", "bar") .set("Foo", "baz") .build(); assertObject(parts).isString("foo=baz"); parts = PartList .create() .set("Foo", "bar") .setDefault("Foo", "baz") .build(); assertObject(parts).isString("foo=bar");

Various methods are provided for iterating over the parts in this list to avoid array copies.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#forEach(Consumer) forEach(Consumer)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#forEach(String,Consumer) forEach(String,Consumer)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#forEach(Predicate,Consumer) forEach(Predicate,Consumer)} - Use consumers to process parts.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#iterator() iterator()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#iterator(String) iterator(String)} - Use an {@link PartIterator} to process parts.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#stream() stream()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#stream(String) stream(String)} - Use a stream.

In general, try to use these over the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#getAll() getAll()} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#getAll(String) getAll(String)} methods that require array copies.

Similar to the way multiple headers can be collapsed into a single value, the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#get(String) get(String)} method is special in that it will collapse multiple parts with the same name into a single comma-delimited list.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#get(Class) get(Class)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)} methods are provided for working with {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}-annotated beans.

##### Example

MyQueryBean foo = parts.get(MyQueryBean.class);

A {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver} can be associated with this builder to create part values with embedded variables that are resolved at runtime.

##### Example

// Create a part list with dynamically-resolving values pulled from a system property. System.setProperty("foo", "bar"); PartList parts = PartList .create() .resolving() .append("X1", "$S{foo}") .append("X2", ()->"$S{foo}") .build(); assertObject(parts).isString("X1=bar&X2=bar");

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} object can be extended to defined pre-packaged lists of parts which can be used in various annotations throughout the framework.

##### Example

// A predefined list of parts. public class MyPartList extends PartList { public MyPartList() { super(BasicIntegerPart.of("foo",1), BasicBooleanPart.of("bar",false)); } }

See {@doc jrc.Proxies Proxies} for more information on use of these annotations.

### 2.25 - Object Tools created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools} package defines convenience utility classes for accessing and manipulating POJOs. It consists of the following classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectSearcher}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectSorter}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectViewer}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectPaginator}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectIntrospector}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectMerger}

##### ObjectRest

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest} class provides the ability to perform standard REST operations (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) against nodes in a POJO model. Nodes in the POJO model are addressed using URLs.

A POJO model is defined as a tree model where nodes consist of consisting of the following:

- {@link Map Maps} and Java beans representing JSON objects.
- {@link Collection Collections} and arrays representing JSON arrays.
- Java beans.

Leaves of the tree can be any type of object.

Use {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest#get(String) get()} to retrieve an element from a JSON tree.
Use {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest#put(String,Object) put()} to create (or overwrite) an element in a JSON tree.
Use {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest#post(String,Object) post()} to add an element to a list in a JSON tree.
Use {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectRest#delete(String) delete()} to remove an element from a JSON tree.

##### Example:

// Construct an unstructured POJO model JsonMap map = JsonMap.ofJson("" + "{" + " name:'John Smith', " + " address:{ " + " streetAddress:'21 2nd Street', " + " city:'New York', " + " state:'NY', " + " postalCode:10021 " + " }, " + " phoneNumbers:[ " + " '212 555-1111', " + " '212 555-2222' " + " ], " + " additionalInfo:null, " + " remote:false, " + " height:62.4, " + " 'fico score':' > 640' " + "} " ); // Wrap Map inside an ObjectRest object ObjectRest johnSmith = ObjectRest.create(map); // Get a simple value at the top level // "John Smith" String name = johnSmith.getString("name"); // Change a simple value at the top level johnSmith.put("name", "The late John Smith"); // Get a simple value at a deep level // "21 2nd Street" String streetAddress = johnSmith.getString("address/streetAddress"); // Set a simple value at a deep level johnSmith.put("address/streetAddress", "101 Cemetery Way"); // Get entries in a list // "212 555-1111" String firstPhoneNumber = johnSmith.getString("phoneNumbers/0"); // Add entries to a list johnSmith.post("phoneNumbers", "212 555-3333"); // Delete entries from a model johnSmith.delete("fico score"); // Add entirely new structures to the tree JsonMap medicalInfo = JsonMap.ofJson("" + "{" + " currentStatus: 'deceased'," + " health: 'non-existent'," + " creditWorthiness: 'not good'" + "}" ); johnSmith.put("additionalInfo/medicalInfo", medicalInfo);

In the special case of collections/arrays of maps/beans, a special XPath-like selector notation can be used in lieu of index numbers on GET requests to return a map/bean with a specified attribute value.
The syntax is {@code @attr=val}, where attr is the attribute name on the child map, and val is the matching value.

##### Example:

// Get map/bean with name attribute value of 'foo' from a list of items Map map = objectRest.getMap("/items/@name=foo");

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Traversable} REST response converter.

##### ObjectSearcher

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectSearcher} class is designed to provide searches across arrays and collections of maps or beans. It allows you to quickly filter beans and maps using simple yet sophisticated search arguments.

##### Example:

MyBean[] arrayOfBeans = ...; ObjectSearcher searcher = ObjectSearcher.create(); // Returns a list of beans whose 'foo' property is 'X' and 'bar' property is 'Y'. List<MyBean> result = searcher.run(arrayOfBeans, "foo=X,bar=Y");

The tool can be used against the following data types:

- Arrays/collections of maps or beans.

The default searcher is configured with the following matcher factories that provides the capabilities of matching against various data types. This list is extensible:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.StringMatcherFactory}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.NumberMatcherFactory}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.TimeMatcherFactory}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.StringMatcherFactory} class provides searching based on the following patterns:

- "property=foo" - Simple full word match
- "property=fo*", "property=?ar" - Meta-character matching
- "property=foo bar"(implicit), "property=^foo ^bar"(explicit) - Multiple OR'ed patterns
- "property=+fo* +*ar" - Multiple AND'ed patterns
- "property=fo* -bar" - Negative patterns
- "property='foo bar'" - Patterns with whitespace
- "property=foo\\'bar" - Patterns with single-quotes
- "property=/foo\\s+bar" - Regular expression match

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.NumberMatcherFactory} class provides searching based on the following patterns:

- "property=1" - A single number
- "property=1 2" - Multiple OR'ed numbers
- "property=-1 -2" - Multiple OR'ed negative numbers
- "property=1-2","property=-2--1" - A range of numbers (whitespace ignored)
- "property=1-2 4-5" - Multiple OR'ed ranges
- "property=<1","property=<=1","property=>1","property=>=1" - Open-ended ranges
- "property=!1","property=!1-2" - Negation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.TimeMatcherFactory} class provides searching based on the following patterns:

- "property=2011" - A single year
- "property=2011 2013 2015" - Multiple years
- "property=2011-01" - A single month
- "property=2011-01-01" - A single day
- "property=2011-01-01T12" - A single hour
- "property=2011-01-01T12:30" - A single minute
- "property=2011-01-01T12:30:45" - A single second
- "property=>2011","property=>=2011","property=<2011","property=<=2011" - Open-ended ranges
- "property=>2011","property=>=2011","property=<2011","property=<=2011" - Open-ended ranges
- "property=2011 - 2013-06-30" - Closed ranges

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} REST response converter.

##### ObjectSorter

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectSorter} class is designed to sort arrays and collections of maps or beans.

##### Example:

MyBean[] arrayOfBeans = ...; ObjectSorter sorter = ObjectSorter.create(); // Returns a list of beans sorted accordingly. List<MyBean> result = sorter.run(arrayOfBeans, "foo,bar-");

The tool can be used against the following data types:

- Arrays/collections of maps or beans.

The arguments are a simple comma-delimited list of property names optionally suffixed with '+' and '-' to denote ascending/descending order.

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} REST response converter.

##### ObjectViewer

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectViewer} class is designed to extract properties from collections of maps or beans.

##### Example:

MyBean[] arrayOfBeans = ...; ObjectViewer viewer = ObjectViewer.create(); // Returns the 'foo' and 'bar' properties extracted into a list of maps. List<Map> result = viewer.run(arrayOfBeans, "foo,bar");

The tool can be used against the following data types:

- Arrays/collections of maps or beans.
- Singular maps or beans.

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} REST response converter.

##### ObjectPaginator

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectPaginator} class is designed to extract sublists from arrays/collections of maps or beans.

##### Example:

MyBean[] arrayOfBeans = ...; ObjectPaginator paginator = ObjectPaginator.create(); // Returns all rows from 100 to 110. List<MyBean> result = paginator.run(arrayOfBeans, 100, 10);

The tool can be used against the following data types:

- Arrays/collections of maps or beans.

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} REST response converter.

##### ObjectIntrospector

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectIntrospector} class is used to invoke methods on {@code Objects} using arguments in serialized form.

##### Example:

String string1 = "foobar"; String string2 = ObjectIntrospector .create(string) .invoke(String.class, "substring(int,int)", "[3,6]"); // "bar"

The arguments passed to the identified method are POJOs serialized in JSON format. Arbitrarily complex arguments can be passed in as arguments.

- This class is used in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Introspectable} REST response converter.
- This is an extremely powerful but potentially dangerous tool. Use wisely.

##### ObjectMerger

The {@link org.apache.juneau.objecttools.ObjectMerger} class is used for merging POJOs behind a single interface. This is particularly useful in cases where you want to define beans with 'default' values.

For example, given the following bean classes:

public interface IA { String getX(); void setX(String x); } public class A implements IA { private String x; public A(String x) { this.x = x; } public String getX() { return x; } public void setX(String x) { this.x = x; } }

The getters will be called in order until the first non-null value is returned:

merge = ObjectMerger.merger(IA.class, new A("1"), new A("2")); assertEquals("1", merge.getX()); merge = ObjectMerger.merger(IA.class, new A(null), new A("2")); assertEquals("2", merge.getX()); merge = ObjectMerger.merger(IA.class, new A(null), new A(null)); assertEquals(null, merge.getX());

### 2.26 - JSON Details

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from JSON using ultra-efficient serializers and parsers. The JSON serializer converts POJOs directly to JSON without the need for intermediate DOM objects using a highly-efficient state machine. Likewise, the JSON parser creates POJOs directly from JSON without the need for intermediate DOM objects.

The following example shows JSON for a typical bean:

##### Sample Beans

public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; @Swap(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.class) public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } public class Address { // Bean properties public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

##### Sample Code

Person person = new Person() .name("John Smith") .birthDate("1946-08-12T00:00:00Z") .addresses( new Address() .street("100 Main Street") .city("Anywhereville") .state(NY) .zip(12345) .isCurrent(true); );

##### Normal JSON

{ "name": "John Smith", "birthDate": "1946-08-12T00:00:00Z", "addresses": [ { "street": "100 Main Street", "city": "Anywhereville", "state": "NY", "zip": 12345, "isCurrent": true } ] }

##### Simplified JSON

{ name: 'John Smith', birthDate: '1946-08-12T00:00:00Z', addresses: [ { street: '100 Main Street', city: 'Anywhereville', state: 'NY', zip: 12345, isCurrent: true } ] }

##### 2.26.1 - JSON Methodology

The JSON data type produced depends on the Java object type being serialized.

- Primitives and primitive objects are converted to JSON primitives.
- Beans and Maps are converted to JSON objects.
- Collections and arrays are converted to JSON arrays.
- Anything else is converted to JSON strings.

##### Data type conversions:

POJO type | JSON type | Example | Serialized form
--- | --- | --- | ---
String | String | serialize("foobar"); | 'foobar'
Number | Number | serialize(123); | 123
Boolean | Boolean | serialize(true); | true
Null | Null | serialize(null); | null
Beans with properties of any type on this list | Object | serialize(new MyBean()); | {p1:'val1',p2:true}
Maps with values of any type on this list | Object | serialize(new TreeMap()); | {key1:'val1',key2:true}
Collections and arrays of any type on this list | Array | serialize(new Object[]{1,"foo",true}); | [1,'foo',true]

In addition, swaps can be used to convert non-serializable POJOs into serializable forms, such as converting Calendar object to ISO8601 strings, or byte[] arrays to Base-64 encoded strings.

##### 2.26.2 - JSON Serializers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} class is used to serialize POJOs into JSON.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured serializers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer#DEFAULT_READABLE DEFAULT_READABLE}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer#DEFAULT_READABLE DEFAULT_READABLE}

##### 2.26.3 - Simplified JSON updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer} class can be used to serialized POJOs into Simplified JSON notation.

Simplified JSON is identical to JSON except for the following:

- JSON attributes are only quoted when necessary.
- Uses single-quotes for quoting.

##### Examples:

// Some free-form JSON. JsonMap map = JsonMap.of( "foo", "x1", "_bar", "x2", " baz ", "x3", "123", "x4", "return", "x5", "", "x6" );

// Serialized to standard JSON { "foo": "x1", "_bar": "x2", " baz ": "x3", "123": "x4", "return": "x5", "": "x6" }

// Serialized to simplified JSON { foo: 'x1', _bar: 'x2', ' baz ': 'x3', // Quoted due to embedded spaces. '123': 'x4', // Quoted to prevent confusion with number. 'return': 'x5', // Quoted because it's a keyword. '': 'x6' // Quoted because it's an empty string. }

The advantage to simplified JSON is you can represent it in a Java String in minimal form with minimal escaping. This is particularly useful in cases such as unit testing where you can easily validate POJOs by simplifying them to Simplified JSON and do a simple string comparison.

WriterSerializer serializer = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT; assertEquals("{foo:'bar',baz:123}", serializer.toString(myPojo));

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer.Builder#simpleMode() simpleMode()}

##### 2.26.4 - JSON Parsers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser} class is used to parse JSON into POJOs.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this parser is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured parsers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser#DEFAULT_STRICT DEFAULT_STRICT}

The JSON parser supports ALL valid JSON, including:

- Javascript comments.
- Single or double quoted values.
- Quoted (strict) or unquoted (non-strict) attributes.
- JSON fragments (such as string, numeric, or boolean primitive values).
- Concatenated strings.

##### 2.26.5 - @Json Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json @Json} annotation is used to override the behavior of {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} on individual bean classes or properties.

The annotation can be applied to beans as well as other objects serialized to other types (e.g. strings).

- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json#wrapperAttr() wrapperAttr}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json#wrapperAttr() @Json(wrapperAttr)} annotation can be used to wrap beans inside a JSON object with a specified attribute name.

##### Example:

@Json(wrapperAttr="personBean") public class Person { public String name = "John Smith"; }

The following shows the JSON representation with and without the annotation present:

Without annotation | With annotation
--- | ---
{ name: 'John Smith' } | { personBean: { name: 'John Smith' } }

### 2.27 - JSON-Schema Support

Juneau provides the {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSchemaSerializer} class for generating JSON-Schema documents that describe the output generated by the {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} class. This class shares the same properties as JsonSerializer. For convenience the {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer#getSchemaSerializer()} method has been added for creating instances of schema serializers from the regular serializer instance.

##### Sample Beans

public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } public class Address { // Bean properties public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

The code for creating our POJO model and generating JSON-Schema is shown below:

// Get the one of the default schema serializers. JsonSchemaSerializer serializer = JsonSchemaSerializer.DEFAULT_SIMPLE_READABLE; // Get the JSON Schema for the POJO. String jsonSchema = serializer.serialize(new Person()); // This also works. jsonSchema = serializer.serialize(Person.class);

##### JSON Schema

{ type: 'object', description: 'org.apache.juneau.sample.Person', properties: { name: { type: 'string', description: 'java.lang.String' }, birthDate: { type: 'string', description: 'java.util.Calendar' }, addresses: { type: 'array', description: 'java.util.LinkedList<org.apache.juneau.sample.Address>', items: { type: 'object', description: 'org.apache.juneau.sample.Address', properties: { street: { type: 'string', description: 'java.lang.String' }, city: { type: 'string', description: 'java.lang.String' }, state: { type: 'string', description: 'java.lang.String' }, zip: { type: 'number', description: 'int' }, isCurrent: { type: 'boolean', description: 'boolean' } } } } } }

### 2.28 - XML Details

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from XML using ultra-efficient serializers and parsers. The XML serializer converts POJOs directly to XML without the need for intermediate DOM objects. Likewise, the XML parser uses a STaX parser and creates POJOs directly without intermediate DOM objects.

Unlike frameworks such as JAXB, Juneau does not require POJO classes to be annotated to produce and consume XML. However, several XML annotations are provided for handling namespaces and fine-tuning the format of the XML produced.

The following example shows XML for a typical bean:

##### Sample Beans

@Bean(typeName="person") public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; @Swap(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.class) public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } @Bean(typeName="address") public class Address { // Bean properties public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

##### Sample Code

Person person = new Person() .name("John Smith") .birthDate("1946-08-12T00:00:00Z") .addresses( new Address() .street("100 Main Street") .city("Anywhereville") .state(NY) .zip(12345) .isCurrent(true); );

##### Normal XML:

<person> <name>John Smith</name> <birthDate>1946-08-12T04:00:00Z</birthDate> <addresses> <address> <street>100 Main Street</street> <city>Anywhereville</city> <state>NY</state> <zip>12345</zip> <isCurrent>true</isCurrent> </address> </addresses> </person>

Juneau produces JSON-equivalent XML, meaning any valid JSON document can be losslessly converted into an XML equivalent. In fact, all of the Juneau serializers and parsers are built upon this JSON-equivalence.

##### 2.28.1 - XML Methodology

The following examples show how different data types are represented in XML. They mirror how the data structures are represented in JSON.

##### Simple types

The representation of loose (not a direct bean property value) simple types are shown below:

Data type | JSON example | XML
--- | --- | ---
string | 'foo' | <string>foo</string>
boolean | true | <boolean>true</boolean>
integer | 123 | <number>123</number>
float | 1.23 | <number>1.23</number>
null | null | <null/>

##### Maps

Loose maps and beans use the element <object> for encapsulation.

_type attributes are added to bean properties or map entries if the type cannot be inferred through reflection (e.g. an Object or superclass/interface value type).

Data type | JSON example | XML
--- | --- | ---
Map<String,String> | { k1: 'v1' k2: null } | <object> <k1>v1</k1> <k2 _type='null'/> </object>
Map<String,Number> | { k1: 123, k2: 1.23, k3: null } | <object> <k1>123</k1> <k2>1.23</k2> <k3 _type='null'/> </object>
Map<String,Object> | { k1: 'v1' k2: 123, k3: 1.23, k4: true, k5: null } | <object> <k1>v1</k1> <k2 _type='number'>123</k2> <k3 _type='number'>1.23</k3> <k4 _type='boolean'>true</k4> <k5 _type='null'/> </object>

##### Arrays

Loose collections and arrays use the element <array> for encapsulation.

Data type | JSON example | XML
--- | --- | ---
String[] | [ 'foo' null ] | <array> <string>foo</string> <null/> </array>
Number[] | [ 123, 1.23, null ] | <array> <number>123</number> <number>1.23</number> <null/> </array>
Object[] | [ 'foo', 123, 1.23, true, null ] | <array> <string>foo</string> <number>123</number> <number>1.23</number> <boolean>true</boolean> <null/> </array>
String[][] | [ ['foo', null], null, ] | <array> <array> <string>foo</string> <null/> </array> <null/> </array>
int[] | [ 123 ] | <array> <number>123</number> </array>
boolean[] | [ true ] | <array> <boolean>true</boolean> </array>
List<String> | [ 'foo' null ] | <array> <string>foo</string> <null/> </array>
List<Number> | [ 123, 1.23, null ] | <array> <number>123</number> <number>1.23</number> <null/> </array>
List<Object> | [ 'foo', 123, 1.23, true, null ] | <array> <string>foo</string> <number>123</number> <number>1.23</number> <boolean>true</boolean> <null/> </array>

##### Beans

Data type | JSON example | XML
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { public String a; public int b; public Object c; // String value public Object d; // Integer value public MyBean2 e; public String[] f; public int[] g; } class MyBean2 { String h; } | { a: 'foo', b: 123, c: 'bar', d: 456, e: { h: 'baz' } f: ['qux'] g: [789] } | <object> <a>foo</a> <b>123</b> <c>bar</c> <d _type='number'>456</d> <e> <h>baz</h> </e> <f> <string>qux</string> </f> <g> <number>789</number> </g> </object>

##### Beans with Map properties

Data type | JSON example | XML
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { public Map<String,String> a; public Map<String,Number> b; public Map<String,Object> c; } | { a: { k1: 'foo' }, b: { k2: 123 }, c: { k3: 'bar', k4: 456, k5: true, k6: null } } | <object> <a> <k1>foo</k1> </a> <b> <k2>123</k2> </b> <c> <k3>bar</k3> <k4 _type='number'>456</k4> <k5 _type='boolean'>true</k5> <k6 _type='null'/> </c> </object>

##### 2.28.2 - XML Serializers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer} class is used to serialize POJOs into XML.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlDocSerializer} class is the same, but serializes a <?xml?> header at the top of the file.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured serializers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_JUNEAU_NAMESPACE DEFAULT_JUNEAU_NAMESPACE}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_NS DEFAULT_NS}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_NS_SQ DEFAULT_NS_SQ}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_NS_SQ_READABLE DEFAULT_NS_SQ_READABLE}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_SQ DEFAULT_SQ}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_SQ_READABLE DEFAULT_SQ_READABLE}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_XS_NAMESPACE DEFAULT_XS_NAMESPACE}

##### 2.28.3 - XML Parsers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser} class is used to parse XML into POJOs.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this parser is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured parsers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

##### 2.28.4 - @Bean(typeName) Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} annotation can be used to override the Juneau default name on bean elements. Types names serve two distinct purposes:

1. To override the element name.
2. To serve as a class identifier so that the bean class can be inferred during parsing if it cannot automatically be inferred through reflection.

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { public String a; public int b; } | { a: 'foo', b: 123 } | <object> <a>foo</id> <b>123</name> </object> | <X> <a>foo</id> <b>123</name> </X>

On bean properties, a _type attribute will be added if a type name is present and the bean class cannot be inferred through reflection.

In the following example, a type attribute is used on property 'b' but not property 'a' since 'b' is of type Object and therefore the bean class cannot be inferred.

##### Example

Java | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { public BeanX a = new BeanX(); public Object b = new BeanX(); } @Bean(typeName="X") class BeanX { public String fx = "foo"; } | <object> <a> <fx>foo</fx> </a> <b> <fx>foo</fx> </b> </object> | <object> <a> <fx>foo</fx> </a> <b _type='X'> <fx>foo</fx> </b> </object>

string, number, boolean, object, array, and null are reserved keywords that cannot be used as type names.

Beans with type names are often used in conjunction with the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#dictionary() @Bean(dictionary)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#dictionary() @Beanp(dictionary)} annotations so that the beans can be resolved at parse time. These annotations are not necessary during serialization, but are needed during parsing in order to resolve the bean types.

The following examples show how type names are used under various circumstances.

Pay special attention to when _type attributes are and are not used.

##### Examples

Java | XML
--- | ---
@Bean(dictionary={BeanX.class}) class BeanWithArrayPropertiesWithTypeNames { public BeanX[] b1 = new BeanX[]{ new BeanX() }; public Object[] b2 = new BeanX[]{ new BeanX() }; public Object[] b3 = new Object[]{ new BeanX() }; } | <object> <b1> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </b1> <b2> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </b2> <b3> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </b3> </object>
@Bean(dictionary={BeanX.class}) class BeanWith2dArrayPropertiesWithTypeNames { public BeanX[][] b1 = new BeanX[][]{{ new BeanX() }}; public Object[][] b2 = new BeanX[][]{{ new BeanX() }}; public Object[][] b3 = new Object[][]{{ new BeanX() }}; } | <object> <b1> <array> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </array> </b1> <b2> <array> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </array> </b2> <b3> <array> <X> <fx>foo</fx> </X> </array> </b3> </object>
@Bean(dictionary={BeanX.class}) class BeanWithMapPropertiesWithTypeNames { public Map<String,BeanX> b1 = new HashMap<>() {{ put("k1", new BeanX()); }}; public Map<String,Object> b2 = new HashMap<>() {{ put("k2", new BeanX()); }} } | <object> <b1> <k1> <fx>foo</fx> </k1> </b1> <b2> <k2 _type='X'> <fx>foo</fx> </k2> </b2> </object>

Bean type names are also used for resolution when abstract fields are used. The following examples show how they are used in a variety of circumstances.

Java | XML
--- | ---
@Bean(dictionary={A.class}) class BeanWithAbstractFields { public A a = new A(); public IA ia = new A(); public AA aa = new A(); public Object o = new A(); } interface IA {} abstract class AA implements IA {} @Bean(typeName="A") class A extends AA { public String fa = "foo"; } | <object> <a> <fa>foo</fa> </a> <ia _type='A'> <fa>foo</fa> </ia> <aa _type='A'> <fa>foo</fa> </aa> <o _type='A'> <fa>foo</fa> </o> </object>
@Bean(dictionary={A.class}) class BeanWithAbstractArrayFields { public A[] a = new A[]{new A()}; public IA[] ia1 = new A[]{new A()}; public IA[] ia2 = new IA[]{new A()}; public AA[] aa1 = new A[]{new A()}; public AA[] aa2 = new AA[]{new A()}; public Object[] o1 = new A[]{new A()}; public Object[] o2 = new Object[]{new A()}; } | <object> <a> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </a> <ia1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </ia1> <ia2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </ia2> <aa1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </aa1> <aa2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </aa2> <o1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </o1> <o2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </o2> </object>
@Bean(dictionary={A.class}) class BeanWithAbstractMapFields { public Map<String,A> a = new HashMap<>() {{ put("k1", new A()); }}; public Map<String,AA> b = new HashMap<>() {{ put("k2", new A()); }}; public Map<String,Object> c = new HashMap<>() {{ put("k3", new A()); }}; } | <object> <a> <k1> <fa>foo</fa> </k1> </a> <b> <k2 _type='A'> <fa>foo</fa> </k2> </b> <c> <k3 _type='A'> <fa>foo</fa> </k3> </c> </object>
@Bean(dictionary={A.class}) class BeanWithAbstractMapArrayFields { public Map<String,A[]> a = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{ put("a1", new A[]{new A()}); }}; public Map<String,IA[]> ia = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{ put("ia1", new A[]{new A()}); put("ia2", new IA[]{new A()}); }}; public Map<String,AA[]> aa = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{ put("aa1", new A[]{new A()}); put("aa2", new AA[]{new A()}); }}; public Map<String,Object[]> o = new LinkedHashMap<>() {{ put("o1", new A[]{new A()}); put("o2", new AA[]{new A()}); }}; } | <object> <a> <a1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </a1> </a> <ia> <ia1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </ia1> <ia2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </ia2> </ia> <aa> <aa1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </aa1> <aa2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </aa2> </aa> <o> <o1> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </o1> <o2> <A> <fa>foo</fa> </A> </o2> </o> </object>

On a side note, characters that cannot be represented in XML 1.0 are encoded using a simple encoding. Note in the examples below, some characters such as '\n', '\t', and '\r' can be represented as XML entities when used in text but not in element names. Other characters such as '\b' and '\f' cannot be encoded in XML 1.0 at all without inventing our own notation. Whitespace characters in element names are encoded as well as whitespace end characters in text.

Java | XML

While it's true that these characters CAN be represented in XML 1.1, it's impossible to parse XML 1.1 text in Java without the XML containing an XML declaration. Unfortunately, this, and the uselessness of the {@link javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory#IS_REPLACING_ENTITY_REFERENCES} setting in Java forced us to make some hard design decisions that may not be the most elegant.

##### 2.28.5 - @Xml(childName) Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml#childName() @Xml(childName)} annotation can be used to specify the name of XML child elements for bean properties of type collection or array.

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(childName="X") public String[] a; @Xml(childName="Y") public int[] b; } | { a: ['foo','bar'], b: [123,456] } | <object> <a> <string>foo</string> <string>bar</string> </a> <b> <number>123</number> <number>456</number> </b> </object> | <object> <a> <X>foo</X> <X>bar</X> </a> <b> <Y>123</Y> <Y>456</Y> </b> </object>
class MyBean { @Xml(childName="child") public int[] a; } | { a: [123,456] } | <object> <a> <string>foo</string> <string>bar</string> </a> </object> | <object> <a> <child>foo</child> <child>bar</child> </a> </object>

##### 2.28.6 - @Xml(format) Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml#format() @Xml(format)} annotation can be used to tweak the XML format of a POJO. The value is set to an enum value of type {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat}. This annotation can be applied to both classes and bean properties.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTR} format can be applied to bean properties to serialize them as XML attributes instead of elements. Note that this only supports properties of simple types (e.g. strings, numbers, booleans).

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public String a; } | { a: 'foo' } | <object> <a>foo</a> </object> | <object a='foo'/>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTRS} format can be applied to bean classes to force all bean properties to be serialized as XML attributes instead of child elements.

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
@Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTRS) class MyBean { public String a; public int b; } | { a: 'foo', b: 123 } | <object> <a>foo</a> <b>123</b> </object> | <object a='foo' b='123'/>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ELEMENT} format can be applied to bean properties to override the {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTRS} format applied on the bean class.

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
@Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTRS) class MyBean { public String a; @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ELEMENT) public int b; } | { a: 'foo', b: 123 } | <object> <a>foo</a> <b>123</b> </object> | <object a='foo'> <b>123</b> </object>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTRS} format can be applied to a single bean property of type Map<String,Object> to denote arbitrary XML attribute values on the element. These can be mixed with other {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTR} annotated properties, but there must not be an overlap in bean property names and map keys.

##### Example

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTRS) public Map<String,Object> a; @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public int b; } | { a: { k1: 'foo', k2: 123, }, b: 456 } | <object> <a> <k1>foo</k1> <k2 _type='number'>123</k2> </a> <b>456</b> </object> | <object k1='foo' k2='123' b='456'/>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#COLLAPSED} format can be applied to bean properties of type array/Collection. This causes the child objects to be serialized directly inside the bean element. This format must be used in conjunction with {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml#childName() @Xml(childName)} to differentiate which collection the values came from if you plan on parsing the output back into beans. Note that child names must not conflict with other property names.

Data type | JSON example | Without annotation | With annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(childName="A",format=XmlFormat.COLLAPSED) public String[] a; @Xml(childName="B",format=XmlFormat.COLLAPSED) public int[] b; } | { a: ['foo','bar'], b: [123,456] } | <object> <a> <string>foo</string> <string>bar</string> </a> <b> <number>123</number> <number>456</number> </b> </object> | <object> <A>foo</A> <A>bar</A> <B>123</B> <B>456</B> </object>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ELEMENTS} format can be applied to a single bean property of either a simple type or array/Collection. It allows free-form child elements to be formed. All other properties on the bean MUST be serialized as attributes.

Data type | JSON example | With annotation
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public String a; @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ELEMENTS) public String b; } | { a: 'foo', b: 'bar' } | <object a='foo'> <string>bar</string> </object>
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public String a; @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ELEMENTS) public Object[] b; } | { a: 'foo', b: [ 'bar', 'baz', 123, true, null ] } | <object a='foo'> <string>bar</string> <string>baz</string> <number>123</number> <boolean>true</boolean> <null/> </object>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED} format is similar to {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ELEMENTS} except elements names on primitive types (string/number/boolean/null) are stripped from the output. This format particularly useful when combined with bean dictionaries to produce mixed content. The bean dictionary isn't used during serialization, but it is needed during parsing to resolve bean types.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED_PWS} format identical to {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED} except whitespace characters are preserved in the output.

Data type | JSON example | Without annotations | With annotations
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) @Beanp(dictionary={MyBeanX.class, MyBeanY.class}) public Object[] a; } @Bean(typeName="X") class MyBeanX { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public String b; } @Bean(typeName="Y") class MyBeanY { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.ATTR) public String c; } | { a: [ 'foo', { _type:'X', b:'bar' } 'baz', { _type:'Y', b:'qux' }, 'quux' ] } | <object> <a> <string>foo</string> <object> <b>bar</b> </object> <string>baz</string> <object> <b>qux</b> </object> <string>quux</string> </a> </object> | <object>foo<X b='bar'/>baz<Y c='qux'/>quux</object>

Whitespace (tabs and newlines) are not added to MIXED child nodes in readable-output mode. This helps ensures strings in the serialized output can be losslessly parsed back into their original forms when they contain whitespace characters. If the {@link javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory#IS_REPLACING_ENTITY_REFERENCES} setting was not useless in Java, we could support lossless readable XML for MIXED content. But as of Java 8, it still does not work.

XML suffers from other deficiencies as well that affect MIXED content. For example, <X></X> and <X/> are equivalent in XML and indistinguishable by the Java XML parsers. This makes it impossible to differentiate between an empty element and an element containing an empty string. This causes empty strings to get lost in translation. To alleviate this, we use the constructs "_xE000_" to represent an empty string, and "_x0020_" to represent leading and trailing spaces.

The examples below show how whitespace is handled under various circumstances:

Data type | XML
--- | ---
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a = null; } | <X/>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a = ""; } | <X>_xE000_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a = " "; } | <X>_x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a = " "; } | <X>_x0020__x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a = " foobar "; } | <X>_x0020_ foobar _x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT_PWS) public String a = null; } | <X/>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT_PWS) public String a = ""; } | <X>_xE000_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT_PWS) public String a = " "; } | <X> </X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT_PWS) public String a = " "; } | <X> </X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT_PWS) public String a = " foobar "; } | <X> foobar </X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) public String[] a = null; } | <X/>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) public String[] a = {""}; } | <X>_xE000_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) public String[] a = {" "}; } | <X>_x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) public String[] a = {" "}; } | <X>_x0020__x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED) public String[] a = {" foobar "}; } | <X>_x0020_ foobar _x0020_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED_PWS) public String[] a = null; } | <X/>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED_PWS) public String[] a = {""}; } | <X>_xE000_</X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED_PWS) public String[] a = {" "}; } | <X> </X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED_PWS) public String[] a = {" "}; } | <X> </X>
@Bean(typeName="X") class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.MIXED_PWS) public String[] a = {" foobar "}; } | <X> foobar </X>

It should be noted that when using MIXED, you are not guaranteed to parse back the exact same content since side-by-side strings in the content will end up concatenated when parsed.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT} format is similar to {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED} except it's meant for solitary objects that get serialized as simple child text nodes. Any object that can be serialize to a String can be used. The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT_PWS} is the same except whitespace is preserved in the output.

Data type | JSON example | Without annotations | With annotations
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.TEXT) public String a; } | { a: 'foo' } | <object> <a>foo</a> </object> | <object>foo</object>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#XMLTEXT} format is similar to {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT} except it's meant for strings containing XML that should be serialized as-is to the document. Any object that can be serialize to a String can be used. During parsing, the element content gets parsed with the rest of the document and then re-serialized to XML before being set as the property value. This process may not be perfect (e.g. double quotes may be replaced by single quotes, etc...).

Data type | JSON example | With TEXT annotation | With XMLTEXT annotation
--- | --- | --- | ---
class MyBean { @Xml(format=XmlFormat.XMLTEXT) public String a; } | { a: 'Some <b>XML</b> text' } | <object>Some &lt;b&gt;XML&lt;/b&gt; text</object> | <object>Some <b>XML</b> text</object>

##### 2.28.7 - Namespaces

Let's go back to the example of our original Person bean class, but add some namespace annotations:

##### Sample Beans

@Xml(prefix="per") @Bean(typeName="person") public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; @Swap(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.class) public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } @Xml(prefix="addr") @Bean(typeName="address") public class Address { // Bean properties @Xml(prefix="mail") public String street, city; @Xml(prefix="mail") public StateEnum state; @Xml(prefix="mail") public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

The namespace URLs can either be defined as part of the {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml @Xml} annotation, or can be defined at the package level with the {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlSchema @XmlSchema} annotation. Below shows it defined at the package level:

##### package-info.java

@XmlSchema( prefix="ab", // Default namespace xmlNs={ @XmlNs(prefix="ab", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/addressBook/"), @XmlNs(prefix="per", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/person/"), @XmlNs(prefix="addr", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/address/"), @XmlNs(prefix="mail", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/mail/") } ) package org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook;

##### Sample Code

Person person = new Person() .name("John Smith") .birthDate("1946-08-12T00:00:00Z") .addresses( new Address() .street("100 Main Street") .city("Anywhereville") .state(NY) .zip(12345) .isCurrent(true); ); // Create a new serializer with readable output, this time with namespaces enabled. // Note that this is identical to XmlSerializer.DEFAULT_NS_SQ_READABLE. XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.create().ns().ws().sq().build(); String xml = serializer.serialize(p);

Now when we run this code, we'll see namespaces added to our output:

<per:person> <per:name>John Smith</per:name> <per:birthDate>1946-08-12T04:00:00Z</per:birthDate> <per:addresses> <addr:address> <mail:street>100 Main Street</mail:street> <mail:city>Anywhereville</mail:city> <mail:state>NY</mail:state> <mail:zip>12345</mail:zip> <addr:isCurrent>true</addr:isCurrent> </addr:address> </per:addresses> </per:person>

Enabling the {@del org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#XML_addNamespaceUrisToRoot} setting results in the namespace URLs being added to the root node:

<per:person xmlns='http://www.apache.org/2013/Juneau' xmlns:per='http://www.apache.org/person/' xmlns:addr='http://www.apache.org/address/' xmlns:mail='http://www.apache.org/mail/' > <per:name>John Smith</per:name> <per:birthDate>1946-08-12T04:00:00Z</per:birthDate> <per:addresses> <addr:address> <mail:street>100 Main Street</mail:street> <mail:city>Anywhereville</mail:city> <mail:state>NY</mail:state> <mail:zip>12345</mail:zip> <addr:isCurrent>true</addr:isCurrent> </addr:address> </per:addresses> </per:person>

We can simplify the output by setting the default namespace on the serializer so that all the elements do not need to be prefixed:

// Create a new serializer with readable output, this time with namespaces enabled. XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.create().ws().sq().ns() .defaultNamespaceUri("http://www.apache.org/person/") .build();

This produces the following equivalent where the elements don't need prefixes since they're already in the default document namespace:

<person xmlns:juneau='http://www.apache.org/2013/Juneau' xmlns='http://www.apache.org/person/' xmlns:addr='http://www.apache.org/address/' xmlns:mail='http://www.apache.org/mail/' > <name>John Smith</name> <birthDate>1946-08-12T04:00:00Z</birthDate> <addresses> <addr:address> <mail:street>100 Main Street</mail:street> <mail:city>Anywhereville</mail:city> <mail:state>NY</mail:state> <mail:zip>12345</mail:zip> <addr:isCurrent>true</addr:isCurrent> </addr:address> </addresses> </person>

By default, the XML serializer class will make a first-pass over the data structure to look for namespaces defined on classes and bean properties. In high-performance environments, you may want to consider disabling auto-detection and providing your own explicit list of namespaces to the serializer to avoid this scanning step using {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer.Builder#disableAutoDetectNamespaces()}.

The following code will produce the same output as before, but will perform slightly better since it avoids this pre-scan step.

// Create a new serializer with readable output, this time with namespaces enabled. XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.create() .ws() .sq() .autoDetectNamespaces(false) .namespaces("{per:'http://www.apache.org/person/'}") .build();

### 2.29 - HTML Details

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from HTML. Built on top of the existing XML parser, it also uses a STaX parser and creates POJOs directly without intermediate DOM objects.

The primary use case for HTML serialization is rendering POJOs in easy-to-read format in REST interfaces.

##### 2.29.1 - HTML Methodology

The following examples show how different data types are represented in HTML. They mirror how the data structures are represented in JSON.

##### Simple types

The representation for simple types mirror those produced by the XML serializer. Tags are added to help differentiate data types when they cannot be inferred through reflection. These tags are ignored by browsers and treated as plain text.

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
string | 'foo' | <string>foo</string>
boolean | true | <boolean>true</boolean>
integer | 123 | <number>123</number>
float | 1.23 | <number>1.23</number>
null | null | <null/>

##### Maps

Maps and beans are represented as tables.

The _type attribute is added to differentiate between objects (maps/beans) and arrays (arrays/collections).

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
Map<String,String> | { k1: 'v1' k2: null } | <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k1</td> <td>v1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>k2</td> <td><null/></td> </tr> </table>
Map<String,Number> | { k1: 123, k2: 1.23, k3: null } | <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k1</td> <td>123</td> </tr> <tr> <td>k2</td> <td>1.23</td> </tr> <tr> <td>k3</td> <td><null/></td> </tr> </table>
Map<String,Object> | { k1: 'v1' k2: 123, k3: 1.23, k4: true, k5: null } | <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k1</td> <td>v1</td> </tr> <tr> <td>k2</td> <td><number>123</number></td> </tr> <tr> <td>k3</td> <td><number>1.23</number></td> </tr> <tr> <td>k4</td> <td><boolean>true</boolean></td> </tr> <tr> <td>k5</td> <td><null/></td> </tr> </table>

##### Arrays

Collections and arrays are represented as ordered lists.

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
String[] | [ 'foo' null ] | <ul> <li>foo</li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
Number[] | [ 123, 1.23, null ] | <ul> <li>123</li> <li>1.23</li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
Object[] | [ 'foo', 123, 1.23, true, null ] | <ul> <li>foo</li> <li><number>123</number></li> <li><number>1.23</number></li> <li><boolean>true</boolean></li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
String[][] | [ ['foo', null], null, ] | <ul> <li> <ul> <li>foo</li> <li><null/></li> </ul> </li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
int[] | [ 123 ] | <ul> <li>123</li> </ul>
boolean[] | [ true ] | <ul> <li>true</li> </ul>

##### Collections

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
List<String> | [ 'foo' null ] | <ul> <li>foo</li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
List<Number> | [ 123, 1.23, null ] | <ul> <li>123</li> <li>1.23</li> <li><null/></li> </ul>
List<Object> | [ 'foo', 123, 1.23, true, null ] | <ul> <li>foo</li> <li><number>123</number></li> <li><number>1.23</number></li> <li><boolean>true</boolean></li> <li><null/></li> </ul>

##### Beans

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { public String a; public int b; public Object c; // String value public Object d; // Integer value public MyBean2 e; public String[] f; public int[] g; } class MyBean2 { String h; } | { a: 'foo', b: 123, c: 'bar', d: 456, e: { h: 'baz' } f: ['qux'] g: [789] } | <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>a</td> <td>foo</td> </tr> <tr> <td>b</td> <td>123</td> </tr> <tr> <td>c</td> <td>bar</td> </tr> <tr> <td>d</td> <td><number>456</number></td> </tr> <tr> <td>e</td> <td> <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>h</td> <td>qux</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>f</td> <td> <ul> <li>baz</li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>g</td> <td> <ul> <li>789</li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table>

##### Beans with Map properties

Data type | JSON example | HTML
--- | --- | ---
class MyBean { public Map<String,String> a; public Map<String,Number> b; public Map<String,Object> c; } | { a: { k1: 'foo' }, b: { k2: 123 }, c: { k3: 'bar', k4: 456, k5: true, k6: null } } | <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>a</td> <td> <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k1</td> <td>foo</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>b</td> <td> <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k2</td> <td>123</td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>c</td> <td> <table _type='object'> <tr> <td>k3</td> <td>bar</td> </tr> <tr> <td>k4</td> <td><number>456</number></td> </tr> <tr> <td>k5</td> <td><boolean>true</boolean></td> </tr> <tr> <td>k6</td> <td><null/></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table>

##### 2.29.2 - HTML Serializers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer} class is used to serialize POJOs into HTML.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} class is the same, but wraps the serialized POJO inside a document template consisting of header, nav, aside, and footer sections.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer.Builder}
            - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured serializers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer#DEFAULT }
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer#DEFAULT_SQ }
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer#DEFAULT_SQ_READABLE }
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer#DEFAULT }

##### 2.29.3 - HTML Parsers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser} class is used to parse HTML into POJOs. They can also parse the contents produced by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this parser is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured parsers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

##### 2.29.4 - @Html Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html @Html} annotation can be used to customize how POJOs are serialized to HTML on a per-class/field/method basis.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#anchorText() anchorText}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#format() format}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#link() link}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#noTableHeaders() noTableHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#noTables() noTables}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#render() render}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#link @Html(link)} annotation adds a hyperlink to a bean property when rendered as HTML.

##### Example:

public class FileSpace { // Add a hyperlink to this bean property. @Html(link="servlet:/drive/{drive}") public String getDrive() {...} }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#anchorText @Html(anchorText)} annotation is used to specify the anchor text of a hyperlink.

##### Example:

// Produces <a ...>CLICK ME!</a> when serialized to HTML. public class FileSpace { // Add a hyperlink to this bean property. @Html(link="servlet:/drive/{drive}", anchorText="CLICK ME!") public String getDrive() {...} }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#format @Html(format)} annotation is used to specify what format to use for HTML elements. For example, the HTML beans defined in the {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5} package use format=XML so that the beans get serialized as standard XML:

##### Example:

// Parent class of all HTML DTO beans. @Html(format=XML) public abstract class HtmlElement {...}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#noTableHeaders @Html(noTableHeaders)} annotation is used to prevent beans from being serialized with table headers.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#noTables @Html(noTables)} annotation is used to force beans to be serialized as trees instead of tables

##### 2.29.5 - @Html(render) Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#render @Html(render)} annotation allows for custom rendering of bean property values when serialized as HTML. Using this class, you can alter the CSS style and HTML content of the bean property.

The following example shows two render classes that customize the appearance of the pctFull and status columns in the code below:

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; // Our bean class public class FileSpace { private final String drive; private final long total, available; public FileSpace(String drive, long total, long available) { this.drive = drive; this.total = total; this.available = available; } @Html(link="drive/{drive}") public String getDrive() { return drive; } public long getTotal() { return total; } public long getAvailable() { return available; } @Html(render=FileSpacePctRender.class) public float getPctFull() { return ((100 * available) / total); } @Html(render=FileSpaceStatusRender.class) public FileSpaceStatus getStatus() { float pf = getPctFull(); if (pf < 80) return FileSpaceStatus.OK; if (pf < 90) return FileSpaceStatus.WARNING; return FileSpaceStatus.SEVERE; } }

// Possible values for the getStatus() method public enum FileSpaceStatus { OK, WARNING, SEVERE; }

// Custom render for getPctFull() method public class FileSpacePctRender extends HtmlRender<Float> { @Override public String getStyle(SerializerSession session, Float value) { if (value < 80) return "background-color:lightgreen;text-align:center"; if (value < 90) return "background-color:yellow;text-align:center"; return "background-color:red;text-align:center;border:;animation:color_change 0.5s infinite alternate"; } @Override public Object getContent(SerializerSession session, Float value) { if (value >= 90) return div( String.format("%.0f%%", value), style("@keyframes color_change { from { background-color: red; } to { background-color: yellow; }") ); return String.format("%.0f%%", value); } }

// Custom render for getStatus() method public class FileSpaceStatusRender extends HtmlRender<FileSpaceStatus> { @Override public String getStyle(SerializerSession session, FileSpaceStatus value) { return "text-align:center"; } @Override public Object getContent(SerializerSession session, FileSpaceStatus value) { switch (value) { case OK: return img().src(URI.create("servlet:/htdocs/ok.png")); case WARNING: return img().src(URI.create("servlet:/htdocs/warning.png")); default: return img().src(URI.create("servlet:/htdocs/severe.png")); } } }

##### 2.29.6 - HtmlDocSerializer updated: 9.0.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} is an extension of {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer} that wraps serialized POJOs in a complete HTML document.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer.Builder}
            - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer.Builder}
              - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlStrippedDocSerializer.Builder}
                - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

This class is used extensively in the creation of POJO-based user interfaces in the REST API.

##### Example:

/** * Sample REST resource that prints out a simple "Hello world!" message. */ @Rest(path="/helloWorld") @HtmlDocConfig( navlinks={ "up: request:/..", "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" }, aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This page shows a resource that simply response with a 'Hello world!' message</p>", " <p>The POJO serialized is a simple String.</p>", "</div>" } ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer.Builder#template(Class)} setting defines a template for the HTML page being generated. The default template is described next.

##### 2.29.7 - BasicHtmlDocTemplate

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.BasicHtmlDocTemplate} class defines a default template for HTML documents created by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.

The HTML document created by this template consists of the following structure:

<html> <head> <style type='text/css'> CSS styles and links to stylesheets </style> </head> <body> <header> Page header </header> <nav> Navigation links </nav> <aside> Side-bar text </aside> <article> Contents of serialized object </article> <footer> Footer message </footer> </body> </html>

##### 2.29.8 - Custom Templates

Custom page templates can be created by implementing the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate} interface and associating it with your {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} using the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer.Builder#template(Class)} setting.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate#writeTo(HtmlDocSerializerSession,HtmlWriter,Object) writeTo(HtmlDocSerializerSession,HtmlWriter,Object)}

The interface implementation is open-ended allowing you to define the contents of the page any way you wish.

### 2.30 - HTML-Schema Support

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSchemaSerializer} class is the HTML-equivalent to the {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSchemaSerializer} class. It's used to generate HTML versions of JSON-Schema documents that describe the output generated by the {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} class.

##### Sample Beans

public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } public class Address { // Bean properties public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

The code for creating our POJO model and generating HTML-Schema is shown below:

// Get the one of the default schema serializers. HtmlSchemaSerializer serializer = HtmlSchemaSerializer.DEFAULT_SIMPLE_READABLE; // Get the HTML Schema for the POJO. String htmlSchema = serializer.serialize(new Person()); // This also works. htmlSchema = serializer.serialize(Person.class);

The result is the HTML table shown below:

type | object
properties |
name |
type | string
birthDate |
type | string
addresses |
type | array
items |
type | object
properties |
street |
type | string
city |
type | string
state |
type | string
enum | AL PA NC
zip |
type | integer
format | int32
isCurrent |
type | boolean

### 2.31 - UON Details

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from UON strings using ultra-efficient serializers and parsers. The serializer converts POJOs directly to UON strings without the need for intermediate DOM objects using a highly-efficient state machine. Likewise, the parser creates POJOs directly from UON strings without the need for intermediate DOM objects.

Juneau uses UON (URL-Encoded Object Notation) for representing POJOs. The UON specification can be found here.

The following example shows JSON for a typical bean:

##### Sample Beans

public class Person { // Bean properties public String name; @Swap(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.class) public Calendar birthDate; public List<Address> addresses; // Getters/setters omitted } public class Address { // Bean properties public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; public boolean isCurrent; // Getters/setters omitted }

##### Sample Code

Person person = new Person() .name("John Smith") .birthDate("1946-08-12T00:00:00Z") .addresses( new Address() .street("100 Main Street") .city("Anywhereville") .state(NY) .zip(12345) .isCurrent(true); );

##### UON

( name='John+Smith', birthDate='1946-08-12T00:00:00Z', addresses=@( ( street='100 Main Street', city=Anywhereville, state=NY, zip=12345, isCurrent=true ) ) )

##### 2.31.1 - UON Methodology

### 2.32 - URL-Encoding Details

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from URL-encoded strings using ultra-efficient serializers and parsers. The serializer converts POJOs directly to URL-encoded strings without the need for intermediate DOM objects using a highly-efficient state machine. Likewise, the parser creates POJOs directly from URL-encoded strings without the need for intermediate DOM objects.

Juneau uses UON (URL-Encoded Object Notation) for representing POJOs as URL-Encoded values in key-value pairs. The UON specification can be found here.

The following example shows JSON for a typical bean:

##### Sample Beans

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.MsgPackParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

### 2.34 - OpenAPI Details updated: 8.2.0

Juneau supports converting arbitrary POJOs to and from strings using OpenAPI-based schema rules.

The relevant classes for using OpenAPI-based serialization are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} - Converts POJOs to strings.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser} - Converts strings to POJOs.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema} - Defines the schema for your POJO.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema} class is used to define the formatting and validations for a POJO. It's used in conjunction with the serializer and parser to produce and consume HTTP parts based on OpenAPI rules.

Later in the rest-server and rest-client sections, we also describe how the following annotations can be applied to method parameters and class types to define the schema for various HTTP parts:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.ResponseHeader}

##### 2.34.1 - OpenAPI Methodology updated: 8.2.0

Unlike the other Juneau serializers and parsers that convert input and output directly to-and-from POJOs, the OpenAPI serializers and parsers use intermediate objects based on the type and format of the schema.

The following table shows the "natural" intermediate type of the object based on the type/format:

Type | Format | Intermediate Java Type
--- | --- | ---
string or empty | byte binary binary-spaced | byte[]
date date-time | {@link java.util.Calendar}
uon | No intermediate type. (serialized directly to/from POJO)
empty | {@link java.lang.String}
boolean | empty | {@link java.lang.Boolean}
integer | int32 | {@link java.lang.Integer}
int64 | {@link java.lang.Long}
number | float | {@link java.lang.Float}
double | {@link java.lang.Double}
array | empty | Arrays of intermediate types on this list.
uon | No intermediate type. (serialized directly to/from POJO)
object | empty | Map<String,Object>
uon | No intermediate type. (serialized directly to/from POJO)

The valid POJO types for serializing/parsing are based on the intermediate types above. As a general rule, any POJOs that are the intermediate type or transformable to or from the intermediate type are valid POJO types.

For example, the following POJO type can be transformed to and from a byte array.

// Sample POJO class convertable to and from a byte[]. public class MyPojo { // Constructor used by parser. public MyPojo(byte[] value) {...} // toX method used by serializer. public byte[] toBytes() {...} }

This example shows how that POJO can be converted to a BASE64-encoded string.

// Construct a POJO. MyPojo myPojo = ...; // Define a schema. HttpPartSchema schema = HttpPartSchema.tByte().build(); // Convert POJO to BASE64-encoded string. HttpPartSerializer serializer = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT; String httpPart = serializer.serialize(schema, myPojo); // Convert BASE64-encoded string back into a POJO. HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; myPojo = parser.parse(schema, httpPart, MyPojo.class);

In addition to defining format, the schema also allows for validations of the serialized form.

// Construct a POJO. MyPojo myPojo = ...; // Define a schema. // Serialized string must be no smaller than 100 characters. HttpPartSchema schema = HttpPartSchema.tByte().minLength(100).build(); // Convert POJO to BASE64-encoded string. HttpPartSerializer serializer = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT; String httpPart; try { httpPart = serializer.serialize(schema, myPojo); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, output too small. } // Convert BASE64-encoded string back into a POJO. HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; try { myPojo = parser.parse(schema, httpPart, MyPojo.class); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, input too small. }

It looks simple, but the implementation is highly sophisticated being able to serialize and parse and validate using complex schemas.

The next sections go more into depth on serializing and parsing various POJO types.

##### 2.34.2 - OpenAPI Serializers updated: 8.2.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} class is used to convert POJOs to HTTP parts.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer.Builder}
            - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

Later we'll describe how to use HTTP-Part annotations to define OpenAPI schemas for serialization and parsing of HTTP parts. The following example is a preview showing an HTTP body defined as pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited numbers (e.g. "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9"):

@RestPost("/2dLongArray") public void post2dLongArray( @Content( schema=@Schema( type="array", collectionFormat="pipes", items=@Items( type="array", collectionFormat="csv", items=@SubItems( type="integer", format="int64", minimum="0", maximum="100" minLength=1, maxLength=10 ) ) minLength=1, maxLength=10 ) ) Long[][] body ) {...} // Alternate shortened format. @RestPost("/2dLongArray") public void post2dLongArray( @Content( schema=@Schema( t="array", cf="pipes", i=@Items( t="array", cf="csv", i=@SubItems( t="integer", f="int64", min="0", max="100" minl=1, maxl=10 ) ) minl=1, maxl=10 ) ) Long[][] body ) {...}

Under-the-covers, this gets converted to the following schema object:

HttpPartSchema schema = HttpPartSchema.create() .items( HttpPartSchema.create() .type("array") .collectionFormat("pipes") .items( HttpPartSchema.create() .type("array") .collectionFormat("csv") .items( HttpPartSchema.create() .type("integer") .format("int64") .minimum(0) .maximum(100) .minLength(1) .maxLength(10) ) ) ) .build();

Various convenience methods exist for shortening this code.

HttpPartSchema schema = HttpPartSchema.tArrayPipes( tArrayCsv( tInt64().minimum(0).maximum(100).minLength(1).maxLength(10) ) ).build();

The following code shows how the schema above can be used to create our pipe+csv list of numbers:

// Our POJO being serialized. Long[][] input = .... // The serializer to use. HttpPartSerializer serializer = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT; // Convert POJO to a string. try { String httpPart = serializer.serialize(schema, input); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, one of the restrictions were not met. }

As a general rule, any POJO convertible to the intermediate type for the type/format of the schema can be serialized using the OpenAPI serializer. Here are the rules of POJO types allowed for various type/format combinations:

Type | Format | Valid parameter types
--- | --- | ---
string or empty | byte binary binary-spaced | byte[] (default) {@link java.io.InputStream} {@link java.io.Reader} - Read into String and then converted using {@link java.lang.String#getBytes()}. {@link java.lang.Object} - Converted to String and then converted using {@link java.lang.String#getBytes()}. Any POJO transformable to a byte[] via the following methods: public byte[] toBytes() {...} public byte[] toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a byte[] via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
date date-time | {@link java.util.Calendar} (default) {@link java.util.Date} Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.util.Calendar} via the following methods: public Calendar toCalendar() {...} public Calendar toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.util.Calendar} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Serializable POJO} type.
empty | {@link java.lang.String} (default) Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.String} via the following methods: public String toString() {...} Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.String} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
boolean | empty | {@link java.lang.Boolean} (default) boolean {@link java.lang.String} - Converted to a {@link java.lang.Boolean}. Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Boolean} via the following methods: public Boolean toBoolean() {...} public Boolean toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Boolean} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
integer | int32 | {@link java.lang.Integer} (default) int {@link java.lang.String} - Converted to an {@link java.lang.String}. Any POJO transformable to an {@link java.lang.Integer} via the following methods: public Integer toInteger() {...} public Integer toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to an {@link java.lang.Integer} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
int64 | {@link java.lang.Long} (default) long {@link java.lang.String} - Converted to a {@link java.lang.Long}. Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Long} via the following methods: public Long toLong() {...} public Long toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Long} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
number | float | {@link java.lang.Float} (default) float {@link java.lang.String} - Converted to a {@link java.lang.Float}. Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Float} via the following methods: public Float toFloat() {...} public Float toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Float} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
double | {@link java.lang.Double} (default) double {@link java.lang.String} - Converted to a {@link java.lang.Double}. Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Double} via the following methods: public Double toDouble() {...} public Double toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to a {@link java.lang.Double} via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}.
array | empty | Arrays or Collections of any defaults on this list. Any POJO transformable to arrays of the default types (e.g. Integer[], Boolean[][], etc...). For example: public Boolean[][] toFoo() {...} (any method name starting with "to") Any POJO transformable to arrays of the default types via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Serializable POJO} type.
object | empty | Map<String,Object> (default) Beans with properties of anything on this list. Any POJO transformable to a map via an {@link org.apache.juneau.swap.ObjectSwap}
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Serializable POJO} type.

For arrays, an example of "Any POJO transformable to arrays of the default types" is:

// Sample POJO class convertable to a Long[][]. public class MyPojo { // toX method used by serializer. public Long[][] to2dLongs() {...} }

In the example above, our POJO class can be used to create our pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited numbers:

// Our POJO being serialized. MyPojo input = .... // The serializer to use. HttpPartSerializer serializer = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT; // Convert POJO to a string. try { String httpPart = serializer.serialize(schema, input); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, one of the restrictions were not met. }

The object type is not officially part of the OpenAPI standard. However, Juneau supports serializing Maps and beans to HTTP parts using UON notation.

The following shows an example of a bean with several properties of various types.

public class MyBean { private static byte[] FOOB = "foo".getBytes(); public String f1 = "foo"; public byte[] f2 = FOOB; public byte[] f3 = FOOB; public byte[] f4 = FOOB; public Calendar f5 = parseIsoCalendar("2012-12-21T12:34:56Z"); public String f6 = "foo"; public int f7 = 1; public Long f8 = 2l; public float f9 = 1.0; public Double f10 = 1.0; public Boolean f11 = true; public Object fExtra = "1"; }

We define the following schema:

import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema.*; HttpPartSchema schema = tObject() .prop("f1", tString()) .prop("f2", tByte()) .prop("f3", tBinary()) .prop("f4", tBinarySpaced()) .prop("f5", tDateTime(>)) .prop("f6", tUon()) .prop("f7", tInteger()) .prop("f8", tInt64()) .prop("f9", tNumber()) .prop("f10", tDouble()) .prop("f11", tBoolean()) .ap(tInteger()) .build();

Then we serialize our bean:

HttpPartSerializer serializer = OpenApiSerializer.DEFAULT; String httpPart = serializer.serialize(schema, new MyBean());

The results of this serialization is shown below:

( f1=foo, f2=Zm9v, f3=666F6F, f4='66 6F 6F', f5=2012-12-21T12:34:56Z, f6=foo, f7=1, f8=2, f9=1.0, f10=1.0, f11=true, fExtra=1 )

The following is an example of a bean with various array property types:

public class MyBean { private static byte[] FOOB = "foo".getBytes(); public String[] f1 = {"a,b",null}, public byte[][] f2 = new byte[][]{FOOB,null}, public byte[][] f3 = new byte[][]{FOOB,null}, public byte[][] f4 = new byte[][]{FOOB,null}, public Calendar[] f5 = new Calendar[]{parseIsoCalendar("2012-12-21T12:34:56Z"),null}, public String[] f6 = {"a","b",null}, public int[] f7 = new int[]{1,2,null}, public Integer[] f8 = new Integer[]{3,4,null}, public float[] f9 = new float[]{1f,2f,null}, public Float[] f10 = new Float[]{3f,4f,null}, public Boolean[] f11 = new Boolean[]{true,false,null}, public Object[] fExtra = new Object[]{1,"2",null}; }

For this bean, we define the following schema:

import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema.*; HttpPartSchema schema = tObject() .prop("f1", tArray(tString())) .prop("f2", tArray(tByte())) .prop("f3", tArray(tBinary())) .prop("f4", tArray(tBinarySpaced())) .prop("f5", tArray(tDateTime())) .prop("f6", tArray(tUon())) .prop("f7", tArray(tInteger())) .prop("f8", tArray(tInt64())) .prop("f9", tArray(tNumber())) .prop("f10", tArray(tDouble())) .prop("f11", tArray(tBoolean())) .ap(tArray(tInteger())) .build();

Serializing this bean produces the following output:

( f1=@('a,b',null), f2=@(Zm9v,null), f4=@(2012-12-21T12:34:56Z,null), f5=@(666F6F,null), f6=@('66 6F 6F',null), f7=@(a,b,null), f8=@(1,2,null), f9=@(3,4,null), f10=@(1.0,2.0,null), f11=@(3.0,4.0,null), f12=@(true,false,null), fExtra=@(1,2,null) )

- Array properties can also use CSV/SSV/PIPES for array notation.
  Various notations can be mixed throughout.
- Schemas and POJOs can be defined arbitrarily deep.
- Schemas are optional. They can be skipped or partially defined.
- We make our best attempt to convert the input to the matching type. However, you will get SerializeExceptions if you attempt an impossible conversion. (e.g. trying to serialize the string "foo" as a boolean).

##### 2.34.3 - OpenAPI Parsers updated: 8.2.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser} class is used to convert HTTP parts back into POJOs.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this parser is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following is the previous example of a schema that defines the format of a pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited numbers (e.g. "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9"):

import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema.*; HttpPartSchema schema = tArrayPipes( tArrayCsv( tInt64().min(0).max(100).minl(1).maxl(10) ) ).build();

The following code shows how the schema above can be used to parse our input into a POJO:

// Our input being parsed. String input = "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9" // The parser to use. HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; // Convert string to a POJO. try { Long[][] pojo = parser.parse(schema, input, Long[][].class); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, one of the restrictions were not met. }

As a general rule, any POJO convertible from the intermediate type for the type/format of the schema can be parsed using the OpenAPI parser. Here are the rules of POJO types allowed for various type/format combinations:

Type | Format | Valid parameter types
--- | --- | ---
string or empty | byte binary binary-spaced | byte[] (default) {@link java.io.InputStream} - Returns a {@link java.io.ByteArrayInputStream}. {@link java.io.Reader} - Returns a {@link java.io.InputStreamReader} wrapped around a {@link java.io.ByteArrayInputStream}. {@link java.lang.String} - Constructed using {@link java.lang.String#String(byte[])}. {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default byte[]. Any POJO transformable from a byte[] (via constructors or static create methods).
date date-time | {@link java.util.Calendar} (default) {@link java.util.Date} {@link java.util.GregorianCalendar} {@link java.lang.String} - Converted using {@link java.util.Calendar#toString()}. {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.util.Calendar}. Any POJO transformable from a {@link java.util.Calendar} (via constructors or static create methods).
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Parsable POJO} type.
empty | {@link java.lang.String} (default) {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.String}. Any POJO transformable from a {@link java.lang.String} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
boolean | empty | {@link java.lang.Boolean} (default) boolean {@link java.lang.String} {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.Boolean}. Any POJO transformable from a {@link java.lang.Boolean} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
integer | int32 | {@link java.lang.Integer} (default) Any subclass of {@link java.lang.Number} Any primitive number: (e.g int, float...) {@link java.lang.String} {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.Integer}. Any POJO transformable from an {@link java.lang.Integer} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
int64 | {@link java.lang.Long} (default) Any subclass of {@link java.lang.Number} Any primitive number: (e.g int, float...) {@link java.lang.String} {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.Long}. Any POJO transformable from an {@link java.lang.Long} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
number | float | {@link java.lang.Float} (default) Any subclass of {@link java.lang.Number} Any primitive number: (e.g int, float...) {@link java.lang.String} {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.Float}. Any POJO transformable from an {@link java.lang.Float} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
double | {@link java.lang.Double} (default) Any subclass of {@link java.lang.Number} Any primitive number: (e.g int, float...) {@link java.lang.String} {@link java.lang.Object} - Returns the default {@link java.lang.Double}. Any POJO transformable from an {@link java.lang.Double} (via constructors, static create methods, or swaps).
array | empty | Arrays or Collections of anything on this list. Any POJO transformable from arrays of the default types (e.g. Integer[], Boolean[][], etc...).
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Parsable POJO} type.
object | empty | Map<String,Object> (default) Beans with properties of anything on this list. Maps with string keys.
uon | Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Parsable POJO} type.

Additionally, any of the type above can also be wrapped as {@link java.util.Optional Optionals}.

For arrays, an example of "Any POJO transformable from arrays of the default types" is:

// Sample POJO class convertable from a Long[][]. public class MyPojo { // Constructor used by parser. public MyPojo(Long[][] from2dLongs) {...} }

In the example above, our POJO class can be constructed from our pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited numbers:

// Our input being parsed. String input = "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9" // The parser to use. HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; // Convert string to a POJO. try { MyPojo pojo = parser.parse(schema, input, MyPojo.class); } catch (SchemaValidationException e) { // Oops, one of the restrictions were not met. }

Just like serialization, the object type is not officially part of the OpenAPI standard, but Juneau supports parsing HTTP parts in UON notation to Maps and beans.

The following shows an example of a bean with several properties of various types.

public class MyBean { public String f1; public byte[] f2; public byte[] f3; public byte[] f4; public Calendar f5; public String f6; public int f7; public Long f8; public float f9; public Double f10; public Boolean f11; public Object fExtra; }

We define the following schema again:

import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema.*; HttpPartSchema schema = tObject() .prop("f1", tString()) .prop("f2", tByte()) .prop("f3", tBinary()) .prop("f4", tBinarySpaced()) .prop("f5", tDateTime()) .prop("f6", tUon()) .prop("f7", tInteger()) .prop("f8", tInt64()) .prop("f9", tNumber()) .prop("f10", tDouble()) .prop("f11", tBoolean()) .ap(tInteger()) .build();

Then we parse our input into our POJO:

String input = "(f1=foo,f2=Zm9v,f3=666F6F,f4='66 6F 6F',f5=2012-12-21T12:34:56Z,f6=foo," + "f7=1,f8=2,f9=1.0,f10=1.0,f11=true,fExtra=1)"; HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; MyBean bean = parser.parse(schema, input, MyBean.class);

Note that serializing into generic Object properties would have produced similar results:

public class MyBean { public Object f1; public Object f2; public Object f3; public Object f4; public Object f5; public Object f6; public Object f7; public Object f8; public Object f9; public Object f10; public Object f11; public Object fExtra; }

We can also parse into Maps as well:

String input = "(f1=foo,f2=Zm9v,f3=666F6F,f4='66 6F 6F',f5=2012-12-21T12:34:56Z,f6=foo," + "f7=1,f8=2,f9=1.0,f10=1.0,f11=true,fExtra=1)"; HttpPartParser parser = OpenApiParser.DEFAULT; JsonMap map = parser.parse(schema, input, JsonMap.class);

- Array properties can also use CSV/SSV/PIPES for array notation.
  Various notations can be mixed throughout.
- Schemas and POJOs can be defined arbitrarily deep.
- Schemas are optional. They can be skipped or partially defined.
- We make our best attempt to convert the output to the matching type. However, you will get ParseExceptions if you attempt an impossible conversion. (e.g. trying to parse the string "foo" into a boolean).

### 2.35 - Best Practices

1. Reuse instances of serializers and parsers whenever possible.
   They are designed to be thread safe and maintain internal caches of bean metadata to increase performance.
2. The {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder#detectRecursions()} option can cause a performance penalty of around 20%.
   Therefore, it's recommended that this option be used only when necessary.
3. In general, JSON serialization and parsing is about 20% faster than XML. JSON is also more compact than XML.
   MessagePack is fastest and most compact of all.
4. The RDF parsers are SLOW.
   RDF simply isn't efficient with node traversal, so creating tree structures out of RDF models is highly inefficient.
5. The {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser} methods that take in {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta} parameters are slightly faster than methods that take in {@link java.lang.Class} or {@link java.lang.Object} parameters, since the latter methods involve hash lookups to resolve to {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta} parameters.

## 3 - juneau-marshall-rdf

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-marshall-rdf</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-marshall-rdf-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.marshall.rdf_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-marshall-rdf library provides additional serializers and parsers for RDF. These rely on the Apache Jena library to provide support for the following languages:

- RDF/XML
- RDF/XML-Abbrev
- N-Triple
- Turtle
- N3

### 3.1 - RDF Details

Juneau supports serializing and parsing arbitrary POJOs to and from the following RDF formats:

- RDF/XML
- Abbreviated RDF/XML
- N-Triple
- Turtle
- N3

The serializers and parsers work identically to those in juneau-marshall, but are packaged separately so that you don't need to pull in the Jena dependency unless you need it.

// A simple bean public class Person { public String name = "John Smith"; public int age = 21; } // Serialize a bean to JSON, XML, or HTML Person person = new Person(); // Produces: // <rdf:RDF // xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" // xmlns:jp="http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/" // xmlns:j="http://www.apache.org/juneau/"> // <rdf:Description> // <jp:name>John Smith</jp:name> // <jp:age>21</jp:age> // </rdf:Description> // </rdf:RDF> String rdfXml = RdfSerializer.DEFAULT_XMLABBREV.serialize(person); // Produces: // @prefix jp: <http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/> . // @prefix j: <http://www.apache.org/juneau/> . // [] jp:age "21" ; // jp:name "John Smith" . String rdfN3 = N3Serializer.DEFAULT.serialize(person); // Produces: // _:A3bf53c85X3aX157cf407e2dX3aXX2dX7ffd <http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/name> "John Smith" . // _:A3bf53c85X3aX157cf407e2dX3aXX2dX7ffd <http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/age> "21" . String rdfNTriple = RdfSerializer.DEFAULT_NTRIPLE.serialize(person);

##### 3.1.1 - RDF Serializers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfSerializer} class is the top-level class for all Jena-based serializers. Language-specific serializers are defined as inner subclasses of the RdfSerializer class:

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlAbbrevSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.N3Serializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.NTripleSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleSerializer}

The class hierarchy for the builder of this serializer is:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleSerializer}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleSerializer#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

Abbreviated RDF/XML is currently the most widely accepted and readable RDF syntax, so the examples shown here will use that format.

##### 3.1.2 - RDF Parsers updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser} class is the top-level class for all Jena-based parsers. Language-specific parsers are defined as inner subclasses of the RdfParser class:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.NTripleParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.N3Parser}

The RdfParser.Xml parser handles both regular and abbreviated RDF/XML.

The class hierarchy for the builder of this parser is:

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContextable.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser.Builder}

Refer to the builder javadocs for configurable settings.

The following pre-configured parsers are provided for convenience:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlParser}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

    - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.NTripleParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleParser}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleParser#DEFAULT DEFAULT}

##### 3.1.3 - @Rdf Annotation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf @Rdf} annotation is used to override the behavior of the RDF serializers and parsers on individual bean classes or properties.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf#beanUri() beanUri}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf#collectionFormat() collectionFormat}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf#namespace() namespace}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.Rdf#prefix() prefix}

##### 3.1.4 - Namespaces updated: 9.0.0

You'll notice in the previous example that Juneau namespaces are used to represent bean property names. These are used by default when namespaces are not explicitly specified.

The juneau namespace is used for generic names for objects that don't have namespaces associated with them.

The juneaubp namespace is used on bean properties that don't have namespaces associated with them.

The easiest way to specify namespaces is through annotations. In this example, we're going to associate the prefix 'per' to our bean class and all properties of this class. We do this by adding the following annotation to our class:

@Rdf(prefix="per") public class Person {

In general, the best approach is to define the namespace URIs at the package level using a package-info.java class, like so:

// RDF namespaces used in this package @RdfSchema( prefix="ab", rdfNs={ @RdfNs(prefix="ab", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/addressBook/"), @RdfNs(prefix="per", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/person/"), @RdfNs(prefix="addr", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/address/"), @RdfNs(prefix="mail", namespaceURI="http://www.apache.org/mail/") } ) package org.apache.juneau.sample.addressbook; import org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.*;

This assigns a default prefix of "ab" for all classes and properties within the project, and specifies various other prefixes used within this project.

Now when we rerun the sample code, we'll get the following:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:j="http://www.apache.org/juneau/" xmlns:jp="http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/" xmlns:per="http://www.apache.org/person/"> <rdf:Description> <per:id>1</per:id> <per:name>John Smith</per:name> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

Namespace auto-detection is enabled on serializers by default. This causes the serializer to make a first-pass over the data structure to look for namespaces. In high-performance environments, you may want to consider disabling auto-detection and providing an explicit list of namespaces to the serializer to avoid this scanning step using {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer.Builder#disableAutoDetectNamespaces()}.

// Create a new serializer, but manually specify the namespaces. RdfSerializer serializer = RdfSerializer.create() .xmlabbrev() .rdfxml_tab(3) .disableAutoDetectNamespaces() .namespaces("{per:'http://www.apache.org/person/'}") .build();

This code change will produce the same output as before, but will perform slightly better since it doesn't have to crawl the POJO tree before serializing the result.

##### 3.1.5 - URI Properties updated: 9.0.0

Bean properties of type java.net.URI or java.net.URL have special meaning to the RDF serializer. They are interpreted as resource identifiers.

In the following code, we're adding 2 new properties. The first property is annotated with @Beanp to identify that this property is the resource identifier for this bean. The second un-annotated property is interpreted as a reference to another resource.

public class Person { // Bean properties @Rdf(beanUri=true) public URI uri; public URI addressBookUri; ... // Normal constructor public Person(int id, String name, String uri, String addressBookUri) throws URISyntaxException { this.id = id; this.name = name; this.uri = new URI(uri); this.addressBookUri = new URI(addressBookUri); } }

We alter our code to pass in values for these new properties.

// Create our bean. Person person = new Person(1, "John Smith", "http://sample/addressBook/person/1", "http://sample/addressBook");

Now when we run the sample code, we get the following:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:j="http://www.apache.org/juneau/" xmlns:jp="http://www.apache.org/juneaubp/" xmlns:per="http://www.apache.org/person/"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://sample/addressBook/person/1"> <per:addressBookUri rdf:resource="http://sample/addressBook"/> <per:id>1</per:id> <per:name>John Smith</per:name> </rdf:Description> </rdf:RDF>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Uri @Uri} annotation can also be used on classes and properties to identify them as URLs when they're not instances of java.net.URI or java.net.URL (not needed if @Rdf(beanUri=true) is already specified).

The following properties would have produced the same output as before. Note that the @URI annotation is only needed on the second property.

public class Person { // Bean properties @Rdf(beanUri=true) public String uri; @URI public String addressBookUri;

Also take note of the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriResolution(UriResolution)}, {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriRelativity(UriRelativity)}, and and {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#uriContext(UriContext)} settings that can be specified on the serializer to resolve relative and context-root-relative URIs to fully-qualified URIs.

This can be useful if you want to keep the URI authority and context root information out of the bean logic layer.

The following code produces the same output as before, but the URIs on the beans are relative.

// Create a new serializer with readable output. RdfSerializer serializer = RdfSerializer.create() .xmlabbrev() .rdfxml_tab(3); .relativeUriBase("http://myhost/sample"); .absolutePathUriBase("http://myhost") .build(); // Create our bean. Person person = new Person(1, "John Smith", "person/1", "/"); // Serialize the bean to RDF/XML. String rdfXml = serializer.serialize(person);

##### 3.1.6 - Root Property updated: 9.0.0

For all RDF languages, the POJO objects get broken down into simple triplets. Unfortunately, for tree-structured data like the POJOs shown above, this causes the root node of the tree to become lost. There is no easy way to identify that person/1 is the root node in our tree once in triplet form, and in some cases it's impossible.

By default, the {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser} class handles this by scanning all the nodes and identifying the nodes without incoming references. However, this is inefficient, especially for large models. And in cases where the root node is referenced by another node in the model by URL, it's not possible to locate the root at all.

To resolve this issue, the property {@del org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfSerializer#RDF_addRootProperty} was introduced. When enabled, this adds a special root attribute to the root node to make it easy to locate by the parser.

To enable, set the RDF_addRootProperty property to true on the serializer:

// Create a new serializer. RdfSerializer serializer = RdfSerializer.create() .xmlabbrev() .rdfxml_tab(3), .addRootProperty() .build();

Now when we rerun the sample code, we'll see the added root attribute on the root resource.

##### 3.1.7 - Typed Literals updated: 9.0.0

XML-Schema data-types can be added to non-String literals through the {@del org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfSerializer#RDF_addLiteralTypes} setting.

To enable, set the RDF_addLiteralTypes property to true on the serializer:

// Create a new serializer (revert back to namespace autodetection). RdfSerializer serializer = RdfSerializer.create() .xmlabbrev() .rdfxml_tab(3), .addLiteralTypes() .build();

Now when we rerun the sample code, we'll see the added root attribute on the root resource.

## 4 - juneau-dto

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-dto</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-dto-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.dto_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-dto library contains several predefined POJOs for generating commonly-used document types. This section describes support for these POJOs.

### 4.1 - HTML5

The Juneau HTML5 DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters that allow you to quickly construct HTML fragments as Java objects. These object can then be serialized to HTML using one of the existing HTML serializers, or to other languages such as JSON using the JSON serializers.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder} class is a utility class with predefined static methods that allow you to easily construct DTO instances in a minimal amount of code.

The following examples show how to create HTML tables.

Java code | HTML
--- | ---
import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; Object mytable = table( tr( th("c1"), th("c2") ), tr( td("v1"), td("v2") ) ); String html = HtmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(mytablE); | <table> <tr> <th>c1</th> <th>c2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>v1</td> <td>v2</td> </tr> </table>
import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; Object mydiv = div().align("center").onmouseover("alert(\"boo!\");") .children( p("Juneau supports ", b(i("mixed")), " content!") ); String html = HtmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(mydiv); | <div align='center' onmouseover='alert("boo!");'> <p>Juneau supports <b><i>mixed</i></b> content!</p> </table>
import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; Object myform = form().action("/submit").method("POST") .children( "Position (1-10000): ", input("number").name("pos").value(1), br(), "Limit (1-10000): ", input("number").name("limit").value(100), br(), button("submit", "Submit"), button("reset", "Reset") ); String html = HtmlSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(myform); | <form action='/submit' method='POST'> Position (1-10000): <input name='pos' type='number' value='1'/><br/> Limit (1-10000): <input name='pos' type='number' value='100'/><br/> <button type='submit'>Submit</button> <button type='reset'>Reset</button> </form>

Using the HTML5 DTOs, you should be able to construct any valid HTML5 from full document bodies to any possible fragments.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser} class can be used convert these HTML documents back into POJOs.

Other serializers and parsers (e.g. {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer}) can be used to represent these POJOs in languages other than HTML.

##### Additional Information - org.apache.juneau.dto.html5

### 4.2 - Atom

The Juneau ATOM feed DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters. The following code shows a feed being created programmatically using the {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.atom.AtomBuilder} class.

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.atom.AtomBuilder.*; Feed feed = feed("tag:juneau.apache.org", "Juneau ATOM specification", "2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .subtitle(text("html").text("Describes <em>stuff</em> about Juneau")) .links( link("alternate", "text/html", "http://juneau.apache.org").hreflang("en"), link("self", "application/atom+xml", "http://juneau.apache.org/feed.atom") ) .rights("Copyright (c) ...") .generator( generator("Juneau").uri("http://juneau.apache.org/").version("1.0") ) .entries( entry("tag:juneau.sample.com,2013:1.2345", "Juneau ATOM specification snapshot", "2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .links( link"alternate", "text/html", "http://juneau.apache.org/juneau.atom"), link("enclosure", "audio/mpeg", "http://juneau.apache.org/audio/juneau_podcast.mp3").length(1337) ) .published("2016-01-02T03:04:05Z") .authors( person("Jane Smith").uri("http://juneau.apache.org/").email("janesmith@apache.org") ) .contributors( person("John Smith") ) .content( content("xhtml") .lang("en") .base("http://www.apache.org/") .text("<div><p><i>[Update: Juneau supports ATOM.]</i></p></div>") ) );

To serialize this to ATOM, use the {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer} class:

##### Example with no namespaces

// Create a serializer with readable output, no namespaces yet. XmlSerializer serializer = XmlSerializer.create().sq().ws().build(); // Serialize to ATOM/XML String atomXml = serializer.serialize(feed);

##### Results

<feed> <id> tag:juneau.apache.org </id> <link href='http://juneau.apache.org/' rel='alternate' type='text/html' hreflang='en'/> <link href='http://juneau.apache.org/feed.atom' rel='self' type='application/atom+xml'/> <rights> Copyright (c) ... </rights> <title type='text'> Juneau ATOM specification </title> <updated>2016-01-02T03:04:05Z</updated> <generator uri='http://juneau.apache.org/' version='1.0'> Juneau </generator> <subtitle type='html'> Describes <em>stuff</em> about Juneau </subtitle> <entry> <author> <name>Jane Smith</name> <uri>http://juneau.apache.org/</uri> <email>janesmith@apache.org</email> </author> <contributor> <name>John Smith</name> </contributor> <id> tag:juneau.apache.org </id> <link href='http://juneau.apache.org/juneau.atom' rel='alternate' type='text/html'/> <link href='http://juneau.apache.org/audio/juneau_podcast.mp3' rel='enclosure' type='audio/mpeg' length='12345'/> <title> Juneau ATOM specification snapshot </title> <updated>2016-01-02T03:04:05Z</updated> <content base='http://www.apache.org/' lang='en' type='xhtml'> <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ><p><i>[Update: Juneau supports ATOM.]</i></p></div> </content> <published>2016-01-02T03:04:05Z</published> </entry> </feed>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser} class can be used convert these Atom documents back into POJOs.

Other serializers and parsers (e.g. {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer}) can be used to represent these POJOs in languages other than XML.

##### Additional Information - org.apache.juneau.dto.atom

### 4.3 - Swagger

The Juneau Swagger DTOs are simply beans with fluent-style setters that allow you to quickly construct Swagger documents as Java objects. These object can then be serialized to JSON using one of the existing JSON serializers, or to other languages such as XML or HTML using the other serializers.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SwaggerBuilder} class is a utility class with predefined static methods that allow you to easily construct DTO instances in a minimal amount of code.

The following is an example Swagger document from the Swagger website.

{ "swagger": "2.0", "info": { "title": "Swagger Petstore", "description": "This is a sample server Petstore server.", "version": "1.0.0", "termsOfService": "http://swagger.io/terms/", "contact": { "email": "apiteam@swagger.io" }, "license": { "name": "Apache 2.0", "url": "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" } }, "host": "petstore.swagger.io", "basePath": "/v2", "tags": [ { "name": "pet", "description": "Everything about your Pets", "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more", "url": "http://swagger.io" } } ], "schemes": [ "http" ], "paths": { "/pet": { "post": { "tags": [ "pet" ], "summary": "Add a new pet to the store", "description": "", "operationId": "addPet", "consumes": [ "application/json", "text/xml" ], "produces": [ "application/json", "text/xml" ], "parameters": [ { "in": "body", "name": "body", "description": "Pet object that needs to be added to the store", "required": true } ], "responses": { "405": { "description": "Invalid input" } } } } } }

This document can be generated by the following Java code:

static import org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SwaggerBuilder.*; Swagger swagger = swagger() .swagger("2.0") .info( info("Swagger Petstore", "1.0.0") .description("This is a sample server Petstore server.") .termsOfService("http://swagger.io/terms/") .contact( contact().email("apiteam@swagger.io") ) .license( license("Apache 2.0").url("http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html") ) ) .host("petstore.swagger.io") .basePath("/v2") .tags( tag("pet").description("Everything about your Pets") .externalDocs( externalDocumentation("http://swagger.io", "http://swagger.io") ) ) .schemes("http") .path("/pet", "post", operation() .tags("pet") .summary("Add a new pet to the store") .description("") .operationId("addPet") .consumes(MediaType.JSON, MediaType.XML) .produces(MediaType.JSON, MediaType.XML) .parameters( parameterInfo("body", "body") .description("Pet object that needs to be added to the store") .required(true) ) .response(405, responseInfo("Invalid input")) ); // Serialize using JSON serializer. String swaggerJson = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT_READABLE.serialize(swagger); // Or just use toString(). String swaggerJson = swagger.toString();

Methods that take in beans and collections of beans can also take in JSON representations of those objects.

// Pass in a JSON object representation of an Info object. swagger.info("{title:'Swagger Petstore',...}");

Properties can also be accessed via the {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SwaggerElement#get(String,Class)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SwaggerElement#set(String,Object)} methods. These methods can also be used to set and retrieve non-Swagger attributes such as "$ref" (which is not a part of the Swagger spec, but is part of the JSON Schema spec).

// Set a non-standard attribute. swagger.set("$ref", "http://foo.com"); // Retrieve a non-standard attribute. URI ref = swagger.get("$ref", URI.class);

Swagger docs can be parsed back into Swagger beans using the following code:

Swagger swagger = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(swaggerJson, Swagger.class);

### 4.4 - Swagger UI

The {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI} class is a DTO class for generating Swagger user interfaces from {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} beans.

The PetStore example described later provides an example of auto-generated Swagger JSON:

Using {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI}, we're able to render that JSON as a Swagger user interface when the request is asking for HTML:

The class itself is nothing more than a POJO swap that swaps out {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} beans with {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.Div} elements:

public class SwaggerUI extends ObjectSwap<Swagger,Div> { @Override public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { // Only use this swap when the Accept type is HTML. return new MediaType[] {MediaType.HTML}; } @Override public Div swap(BeanSession beanSession, Swagger swagger) throws Exception { ... } }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} class (describe later) shows how this swap is used in the REST interface to generate the Swagger UI shown above:

@Rest( // Allow OPTIONS requests to be simulated using ?method=OPTIONS query parameter. allowedMethodParams="OPTIONS", ... ) @BeanConfig( // POJO swaps to apply to all serializers/parsers. swaps={ // Use the SwaggerUI swap when rendering Swagger beans. SwaggerUI.class } ) public abstract class BasicRestServlet extends RestServlet implements BasicRestConfig { /** * [OPTIONS /*] - Show resource options. */ @RestOp( method=OPTIONS, path="/*", summary="Swagger documentation", description="Swagger documentation for this resource." ) @HtmlDocConfig( // Override the nav links for the swagger page. navlinks={ "back: servlet:/", "json: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS&Accept=text/json&plainText=true" }, // Never show aside contents of page inherited from class. aside="NONE" ) public Swagger getOptions(RestRequest req) { // Localized Swagger for this resource is available through the RestRequest object. return req.getSwagger(); } }

## 5 - juneau-config

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-config</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-config-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.config_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

### 5.1 - Overview updated: 9.0.0

The juneau-config library contains a powerful API for creating and using INI-style config files.

##### Example configuration file:

# A set of entries [Section1] # An integer key1 = 1 # A boolean key2 = true # An array key3 = 1,2,3 # A POJO key4 = http://bar

Config files are accessed through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config} class which are created through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder} class. Builder creator methods are provided on the Config class:

// Create a Config object Config config = Config.create().name("MyConfig.cfg").build(); // Shortcut Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build();

Once instantiated, reading values from the config are simple:

// Read values from section #1 int key1 = config.get("Section1/key1").asInteger().orElse(-1); boolean key2 = config.get("Section1/key2").asBoolean().orElse(false); int[] key3 = config.get("Section1/key3").as(int[].class).orElse(null); URL key4 = config.get("Section1/key4").as(URL.class).orElse(null);

The config language may look simple, but it is a very powerful feature with many capabilities including:

- Support for storing and retrieving any of the following data types:
  - Primitives
  - POJOs
  - Beans
  - Arrays, Maps, and Collections of anything
  - Binary data
- Transactional modifications with commit/rollback capabilities.
- A listener API.
- Filesystem watcher integration allowing changes on the file system to be reflected in real-time.
- Modifications through the Config class (e.g. add/remove/modify sections and keys, add/remove comments and whitespace, etc...) DO NOT cause loss of formatting in the file.
  All existing whitespace and comments are preserved for you!
- Value encoding for added security.
- Support for SVL variables.
- Directly populate beans from config sections.
- Accessing config sections through Java interface proxies.
- An extensible storage API allows you to write your own config storage (e.g. storage in databases or the cloud).

##### 5.1.1 - Syntax Rules

- Each config file contains zero or more sections containing zero or more entries:

  [Section1] key1 = 1 [Section2] key1 = 2

- Unicode escapes can be used in values.

  key1 = \u0070\u0075\u0062\u006c\u0069\u0063

- Comment lines start with the '#' character and can be placed on lines before sections and entries:

  # A comment about this section [Section1] # A comment about this entry key1 = 1

- Comments can also be placed on the same line as entries:

  key1 = 1 # A comment about this entry

- Values containing '#' must be escaped to prevent identification as a comment character:

  valueContainingPound = Value containing \u0023 character

  Likewise, '\' should be escaped to prevent confusion with unicode escapes.
- Values containing newlines can span multiple lines.
  Subsequent lines start with a tab character.

  multiLineValue = line 1, line 2, line 3

  When retrieved, the above translates to "line1,\nline2,\nline3".
- Leading and trailing whitespace on values are ignored.
- Whitespace is not ignored within multi-line values (except for the leading tab character on each line).
- Blank lines can be used anywhere in the file.

  # A comment line # Another comment line [Section1] ...

- Values located before any sections are considered part of the no-name section, meaning they are accessed simply by key and not section/key.

  # Top of file # Use config.getString("key1") to retrieve. key1 = val1 # The first section [Section1] # Use config.getString("Section1/key2") to retrieve. key2 = val2

- Section and key names must be at least one character long and not consist of any of the following characters:

  / \ [ ] = #

- Whitespace in section and key names is technically allowed but discouraged.

### 5.2 - Reading Entries updated: 9.0.0

Configuration files can contain entries for anything from primitive types up to complex hierarchies of POJOs consisting of maps, collections, and/or beans.

Entries are accessed via the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#get(String)} method which returns the following bean:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry}
  - Primary methods
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#get() get()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#isNotEmpty() isNotEmpty()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#isPresent() isPresent()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#orElse(String) orElse(String)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#orElseGet(Supplier) orElseGet(Supplier)}
  - Conversion methods
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#as(Class) as(Class)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#as(Parser,Class) as(Parser,Class)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#as(Parser,Type,Type...) as(Parser,Type,Type...)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#as(Type,Type...) as(Type,Type...)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asBoolean() asBoolean()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asBytes() asBytes()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asDouble() asDouble()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asFloat() asFloat()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asInteger() asInteger()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asList() asList()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asList(Parser) asList(Parser)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asLong() asLong()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asMap() asMap()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asMap(Parser) asMap(Parser)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asString() asString()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#asStringArray() asStringArray()}
  - Metadata methods
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#getComment() getComment()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#getKey() getKey()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#getModifiers() getModifiers()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#getPreLines() getPreLines()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Entry#getValue() getValue()}

The most common case for configuration values are primitives.

# A string key1 = foo # A boolean key2 = true # An integer key3 = 123 # A long key4 = 10000000000 # Doubles key5 = 6.67e−11 key6 = Infinity

On integers and longs, "K", "M", and "G" can be used to identify kilo, mega, and giga.

key1 = 100K # Same as 1024000 key2 = 100M # Same as 104857600

Numbers can also use hexadecimal and octal notation:

hex1 = 0x12FE hex2 = 0X12FE octal1 = 01234

Strings with newlines are treated as multi-line values that get broken into separate lines:

key1 = This is a particularly long sentence that we want to split onto separate lines.

Typically, multi-line values are started on the next line for clarity like so:

key1 = This is a particularly long sentence that we want to split onto separate lines.

##### 5.2.1 - POJOs updated: 9.0.0

Entries can also be read as POJOs. In theory, any {@doc jm.PojoCategories parsable} POJO type can be represented as a config value. However in practice, we're typically talking about the following:

- Objects convertible from Strings.
- Beans.

An example of an object convertible from a String was already shown in an example above. In that case, it was a URL which has a public constructor that takes in a String:

# A POJO key4 = http://bar

// Read values from section #1 URL key4 = config.get("Section1/key4").as(URL.class).orElse(null);

Beans are represented as {@doc jm.SimplifiedJson Simplified JSON} by default:

// Contact information [ContactInfo] address = { street: '123 Main Street', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'NY', zip: 12345 }

// Example bean public class Address { public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; } // Example usage Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); Address myAddress = config.get("ContactInfo/address").as(Address.class).orElse(null);

The default serializer and parser is registered on the Config through the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#serializer(WriterSerializer) serializer(WriterSerializer)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#parser(ReaderParser) parser(ReaderParser)}

##### 5.2.2 - Arrays

The asStringArray() method allows you to retrieve comma-delimited lists of values:

key1 = foo, bar, baz

String[] key1 = config.get("key1").asStringArray().orElse(null);

String arrays can also be represented in JSON when the registered parser is a JSON parser:

key1 = ['foo','bar','baz']

String[] key1 = config.get("key1").asStringArray().orElse(null);

Primitive arrays can also be retrieved using the as() and to() methods:

key1 = [1,2,3]

int[] key1 = config.get("key1").as(int[].class).orElse(null);

Arrays of POJOs can also be retrieved using the methods as well:

addresses = [ { street: '123 Main Street', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'NY', zip: 12345 }, { street: '456 Main Street', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'NY', zip: 12345 } ]

Address[] addresses = config.get("addresses").as(Address[].class).orElse(null);

##### 5.2.3 - Java Collection Framework Objects updated: 9.0.0

Entries can also be read as Java Collection Framework objects. The Type,Type... arguments allow you to specify the component types for maps and collections. List class arguments can be followed by zero or one arguments representing the entry types. Map class arguments can be followed by zero or two arguments representing the key and value types. The arguments can be chained to produce any data structure consisting of maps, collections, or POJOs.

Examples are shown below:

- to(List.class)
  Produces: List<?>
- to(LinkedList.class)
  Produces: LinkedList<?>
- to(HashSet.class, Integer.class)
  Produces: HashSet<Integer>
- to(Map.class)
  Produces: Map<?,?>
- to(HashMap.class)
  Produces: HashMap<?,?>
- to(LinkedHashMap.class, String.class, MyBean.class)
  Produces: LinkedHashMap<String,MyBean>
- to(HashMap.class, Integer.class, ArrayList.class, MyBean[].class)
  Produces: LinkedHashMap<Integer,ArrayList<MyBean[]>>

##### Example:

addresses = [ { street: '123 Main Street', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'NY', zip: 12345 }, { street: '456 Main Street', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'NY', zip: 12345 } ]

List<Address> addresses = config.get("addresses").as(ArrayList.class, Address.class).orElse(null);

Oftentimes, it might be useful to parse into the {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonList} and {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} classes that provide the various convenience methods for working with JSON-like data structures:

JsonMap map = config.get("key1").asMap().orElse(null); JsonList list = config.get("key2").asList().orElse(null);

##### 5.2.4 - Binary Data updated: 9.0.0

Entries can also be accessed as binary data. Binary data can be represented in 3 formats:

- BASE-64 (default)
  Example: "Zm9vYmFycw=="
- Hexadecimal
  Example: "666F6F62617273"
- Spaced hexadecimal
  Example: "66 6F 6F 62 61 72 73"

The binary data format is controlled via the following setting:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#binaryFormat(BinaryFormat) binaryFormat(BinaryFormat)}

For example:

key = Zm9vYmFycw==

byte[] bytes = config.get("key").asBytes().orElse(null);

Binary lines can be split up into separate lines for readability:

key = Zm9vYm Fycw==

Binary data line wrapping can be controlled via the following setting:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#binaryLineLength(int) binaryLineLength(int)}

### 5.3 - Variables updated: 9.0.0

Config files can contain variables that get resolved dynamically using the previously-described {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver} API.

##### Example:

#-------------------------- # My section #-------------------------- [MySection] # A system property locale = $S{java.locale, en_US} # An environment variable path = $E{PATH, unknown} # Another value in this config file anotherLocale = $C{MySection/locale} # Look for system property, or env var if that doesn't exist, or a default value if that doesn't exist. nested = $S{mySystemProperty,$E{MY_ENV_VAR,$C{MySection/anotherLocale}}} # A POJO with embedded variables aBean = {foo:'$S{foo}',baz:$C{MySection/anInt}}

Config config = Config.create().build(); Locale locale = config.get("MySection/locale").as(Locale.class).orElse(null); String path = config.get("MySection/path").asString().orElse(null); int sameAsAnInt = config.get("MySection/sameAsAnInt").asInteger().orElse(null); ABean bean = config.get("MySection/aBean").as(ABean.class).orElse(null);

By default, Configs use the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.VarResolver#DEFAULT} variable resolver which provides support for the following variables and constructs:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar} - $S{key[,default]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar} - $E{key[,default]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar} - $C{key[,default]}

The variable resolver is controlled via the following setting:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#varResolver(VarResolver) varResolver(VarResolver)}

Additionally, the following method can be used to retrieve a Config with a different variable resolver:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#resolving(VarResolverSession) resolving(VarResolverSession)}

##### 5.3.1 - Logic Variables

The default variable resolver also provides the following logic variables for performing simple logical operations:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.IfVar} - $IF{arg,then[,else]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SwitchVar} - $SW{arg,pattern1:then1[,pattern2:then2...]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.CoalesceVar} - $CO{arg1[,arg2...]}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternMatchVar} - $PM{arg,pattern}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.NotEmptyVar} - $NE{arg}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.UpperCaseVar} - $UC{arg}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar} - $LC{arg}

The $IF variable can be used for simple if/else logic:

# Value set to 'foo' if myBooleanProperty is true key1 = $IF{ $S{myBooleanProperty}, foo } # Value set to 'foo' if myBooleanProperty is true, 'bar' if false. key2 = $IF{ $S{myBooleanProperty}, foo, bar } # Value set to key1 value if myBooleanProperty is true, key2 value if false. key3 = $IF{ $S{myBooleanProperty}, $C{key1}, $C{key2} }

The $SW variable can be used for switch blocks based on pattern matching:

# Shell command depends on the OS shellCommand = $SW{ $LC{$S{os.name}}, *win*: bat, linux: bash, *: sh }

The $CO variable can be used for coalescing of values (finding the first non-null/empty match):

# Debug flag can be enabled by system property or environment variable. debug = $CO{ $S{debug}, $E{DEBUG}, false }

The $PM variable can be used for calculating boolean values:

# Debug flag can be enabled by system property or environment variable. isWindows = $PM{ $LC{$S{os.name}}, *win* }

### 5.4 - Modded/Encoded Entries updated: 9.0.0

The following method can be used to associates entry modifiers to a config:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#mods(Mod...) mods(Mod...)}

Mods are used to modify values before being persisted. This can be used to replace or encode sensitive information. They are denoted by a single character that gets appended between angle brackets on the property name (e.g. key<X>). Multiple modifiers can be denoted by multiple characters (e.g. key<XYZ>) and are applied/removed in the order denoted.

The framework comes built-in with a simple {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.XorEncodeMod xor-encode} mod tied to the '*' character. The following shows how it is used:

[MyHost] url = http://localhost:9080/foo user = me password<*> = {AwwJVhwUQFZEMg==}

Custom encoders can be used to provide your own encoding support by implementing the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.Mod} class.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.Mod}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.Mod#apply(String) apply(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.Mod#remove(String) remove(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.mod.Mod#isApplied(String) isApplied(String)}

Unmodified values are encoded when the file is saved using the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#commit()} method. They can also be encoded immediately by calling {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#applyMods()} which can typically be done during JVM startup to immediately encode any unencoded passwords in the file.

### 5.5 - Sections updated: 9.0.0

Config sections can be retrieved in-bulk using the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#getSection(String)} method. It returns the following bean:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asBean(Class) asBean(Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asBean(Class,boolean) asBean(Class,boolean)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asInterface(Class) asInterface(Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asMap() asMap()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#isPresent() isPresent()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#writeToBean(Object,boolean) writeToBean(Object,boolean)}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asMap() asMap()} method allows you to access a section as simple key/value pairs.

##### Example:

// Example config file [MyAddress] street = 123 Main Street city = Anywhere state = NY zip = 12345

// Example usage Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); JsonMap map = config.getSection("MyAddress").asMap().get(); String street = map.getString("street"); String city = map.getString("city"); String state = map.getString("state"); int zip = map.getInt("zip");

Maps created this way are snapshot copies of the section at the time of the method call.

Config files can also be used to directly populate beans using {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asBean(Class) asBean()} or {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#writeToBean(Object,boolean) writeToBean()}.

##### Example:

// Example config file [MyAddress] street = 123 Main Street city = Anywhere state = NY zip = 12345

// Example bean public class Address { public String street, city; public StateEnum state; public int zip; } // Example usage Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); Address myAddress = config.getSection("MyAddress").as(Address.class).orElse(null);

Like maps, beans created this way are snapshot copies of the section at the time of the method call.

Config sections can also be accessed via interface proxies using {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Section#asInterface(Class)}.

While section maps and beans retrieve copies of the configuration data at the time of the method call, section interfaces can also be use to set values in the underlying configuration.

##### Example:

// Example config file [MySection] string = foo int = 123 enum = ONE bean = {foo:'bar',baz:123} int3dArray = [[[123,null],null],null] bean1d3dListMap = {key:[[[[{foo:'bar',baz:123}]]]]}

// Example interface. // Setters are optional. public interface MyConfigInterface { String getString(); void setString(String value); int getInt(); void setInt(int value); MyEnum getEnum(); void setEnum(MyEnum value); MyBean getBean(); void setBean(MyBean value); int[][][] getInt3dArray(); void setInt3dArray(int[][][] value); Map<String,List<MyBean[][][]>> getBean1d3dListMap(); void setBean1d3dListMap(Map<String,List<MyBean[][][]>> value); } // Example usage. Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); MyConfigInterface intf = config.getSection("MySection").asInterface(MyConfigInterface.class).get(); // Read a value. int myInt = intf.getInt(); // Write a value. intf.setBean(new MyBean()); // Commit your changes to the store. config.commit();

### 5.6 - Setting Values

The following methods allow you to add, remove, and modify entries and sections in a config file:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,Object) set(String,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,Object,Serializer) set(String,Object,Serializer)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,Object,Serializer,String,String,List) set(String,Object,Serializer,String,String,List)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,String) set(String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#remove(String) remove(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#setSection(String,List) setSection(String,List)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#setSection(String,List,Map) setSection(String,List,Map)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#removeSection(String) removeSection(String)}

// Construct the sample config file programmatically Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build() .set("key1", 1) .set("key2", true) .set("key3", new int[]{1,2,3}) .set("key4", new URI("http://foo")) .set("Section1/key1", 2) .set("Section1/key2", false) .set("Section1/key3", new int[]{4,5,6}) .set("Section1/key4", new URI("http://bar")) .commit();

The method {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,Object,Serializer,String,String,List)} can be used for adding comments and pre-lines to entries, and specifying encoded values.

// Set an encoded value with some comments. config.set("key1", 1, null, "*", "Same-line comment", Arrays.asList( "# Comment 1", "", "# Comment 2" ) );

# Comment 1 # Comment 2 key1 = 1 # Same-line comment

The last 4 arguments in {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#set(String,Object,Serializer,String,String,List)} are optional in that if you pass null, the current value will not be overwritten. To unset the same-line comment, you should pass in a blank string. To remove pre-lines, you should pass in an empty list.

Sections can be added with optional pre-lines using the setSection methods:

// Set an encoded value with some comments. config.setSection("NewSection", Arrays.asList( "# Section comment 1", "", "# Section comment 2" ) );

# Section comment 1 # Section comment 2 [NewSection]

Changes made to the configuration are transactional in nature. They are kept in memory until you call the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#commit()} method. Until then, you still see the modified values when you call any of the getters, but the modified values exist only in memory.

Changes can be rolled back using the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#rollback()} method.

##### 5.6.1 - File System Changes

In general, external file modifications will be detected immediately in the Config object when a watcher thread is enabled (explained later). Otherwise, they are detected when a commit is performed.

The Config object maintains an in-memory record of all changes that have been applied to it through getters and setters. When the underlying file changes, the new contents are loaded and the in-memory changes are then applied to the new configuration. This provides the benefits of real-time updates of configurations while not losing any changes made in the JVM.

If the commit() method is called on the Config objects after the file system contents have been modified, we will then reload the configuration from the file system, apply the changes, and then try to save to the file system again (up to 10 times).

If the same entry is both internally and externally modified, the external modification will be overwritten (although both change events will be seen by listeners).

##### 5.6.2 - Custom Entry Serialization

Setter methods that take in a Serializer can be used to provide custom serialization of entries instead of using the predefined serializer.

// Set an XML value instead of JSON. config.set("key1", myAddress, XmlSerializer.DEFAULT_SQ_READABLE);

key1 = <address> <street>123 Main Street</street> <city>Anywhere</city> <state>NY</state> <zip>12345</zip> </address>

The value can then be retrieved using the equivalent parser:

Address myAddress = config.get("key1").as(XmlParser.DEFAULT, Address.class).orElse(null);

##### 5.6.3 - Setting Values in Bulk

The following methods can be used to bulk-load configuration values:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#setSection(String,List,Map) setSection(String,List,Map)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#load(Map) load(Map)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#load(Reader,boolean) load(Reader,boolean)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#load(String,boolean) load(String,boolean)}

Changes can then be committed using the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#commit()} method.

### 5.7 - Listeners

Configuration change events can be listened for using the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#addListener(ConfigEventListener) addListener(ConfigEventListener)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#removeListener(ConfigEventListener) removeListener(ConfigEventListener)}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEventListener} interface consists of the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEventListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEventListener#onConfigChange(ConfigEvents) onConfigChange(ConfigEvents)}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent} class provides access to all the information about the updated entry:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getType() getType()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getSection() getSection()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getKey() getKey()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getValue() getValue()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getModifiers() getModifiers()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getComment() getComment()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEvent#getPreLines() getPreLines}

The listener method is triggered:

- After {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#commit()} is called.
- When the file changes on the file system.

In both cases, the listener is triggered after the changes have been committed.

final Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); // Add a listener for changes to MySection/key1 config.addListener( new ConfigEventListener() { @Override public void onConfigChange(ConfigEvents events) { for (ConfigEvent event : events) { if (event.getType() == SET_ENTRY) { String section = event.getSection(); String key = event.getKey(); if (section.equals("MySection") && key.equals("key1")) { // Get the new value from the event. String newVal = event.getValue(); // Or get the new value from the config (since the change has already been committed). newVal = config.getString("MySection/key1"); } } } } } )

### 5.8 - Serializing updated: 9.0.0

The following methods are used for serializing Config objects back into INI files:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#writeTo(Writer) writeTo(Writer)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#toString() toString()}

Both methods are thread safe.

### 5.9 - Imports updated: 8.1.0

Configurations can import values from other configurations using the following syntax:

# Import values from configuration 'ParentConfig' <ParentConfig> # Our normal section [Section1] ...

A configuration can contain zero or more imports anywhere in the file. However, for clarity, imports should normally be placed in the default section of the configuration file. The resolved configuration is retrieved from the configuration store used for the child configuration.

Configuration imports can be nested arbitrarily deep.

##### Example:

# MyConfig contents <ParentConfig1>

# ParentConfig1 contents <ParentConfig2>

# ParentConfig2 contents [Foo] bar = baz

// Java code Config config = Config.create("MyConfig").build(); String foo = config.get("Foo/bar").get(); // == "baz"

Values can be overridden by child configurations.

##### Example:

# MyConfig contents <ParentConfig1> [Foo] bar = baz

# ParentConfig1 contents <ParentConfig2> [Foo] bar = qux

# ParentConfig2 contents [Foo] bar = quux

Config config = Config.create("MyConfig").build(); String foo = config.get("Foo/bar").get(); // == "baz"

Changes made to imported configurations are automatically reflected in the child configuration and partake in the listener API as if the entries were part of the child configuration. Only non-overridden values trigger listener events. For example, if an imported configuration defines a value for "Foo/bar" and the child configuration does not, modifications to "Foo/bar" value in the parent configuration will trigger a listener event in the child config. However, if the child configuration does also specify a value for "Foo/bar", a change to the parent "Foo/bar" will NOT trigger a listener event because the value ends up not being changed from the perspective of the child configuration.

Values can be overwritten in child configurations, but the values will only be set in that configuration and not the imported configuration.

Dynamically adding an import will cause change events to be generated for imported values.

# MyConfig contents starting empty

# ParentConfig contents [Foo] bar = baz

// Create our configuration. Config config = Config.create("MyConfig").build(); // Create a listener that sets a flag if "Foo/bar" is set. final boolean[] triggered = new boolean[1]; ConfigEventListener listener = new ConfigEventListener() { public void onConfigChange(ConfigEvents events) { triggered[0] = events.isKeyModified("Foo", "bar")); } }; config.addListener(listener); // Dynamically add an import to ParentConfig in the default section. config.setImport("", "ParentConfig"); config.commit(); // The new import statement should have triggered a config changes for imported values. assertTrue(triggered[0]);

Dynamically removing an import has the same effect as removing keys and generates REMOVE_ENTRY events.

Note that when dynamically adding or removing imports, overridden keys in the child config will be filtered from the change events.

### 5.10 - Config Stores updated: 9.0.0

Configuration files are stored in entities called Stores.

The methods that need to be implemented on a store are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore#read(String) read(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore#write(String,String,String) write(String,String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore#update(String,String) update(String,String)}

Read is self-explanatory:

public String read(String name) { // Return the contents of the specified configuration. }

Write is slightly trickier:

public String write(String name, String oldContents, String newContents) { // If the old contents match the current stored contents, the new contents will get stored, // and the method returns null indicating success. // If the old contents DO NOT match the current stored contents (i.e. it was modified in some way), // the new contents are NOT stored, and the method returns the current stored contents. // If the old contents are null, then just always write the new contents. }

The update method is called whenever the stored file gets modified externally:

public String update(String name, String newContents) { // Do something with the updated contents. }

Two configuration stores are provided by default:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore} - File-system storage.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.MemoryStore} - In-memory storage.

The store is defined on the Config object via the following setting:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#store(ConfigStore) store(ConfigStore)}

##### Example:

// Create a config with in-memory storage. Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").store(ConfigMemoryStore.DEFAULT).build();

The default store used is {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore#DEFAULT} which defines the execution directory as the file system directory to store and retrieve files.

##### 5.10.1 - MemoryStore

The {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.MemoryStore} class is simply an in-memory storage location for configuration files. There is no hard persistence and is used primarily for testing purposes.

However, the implementation provides a good idea on how stores work (especially the write method):

public class MemoryStore extends ConfigStore { // Some methods ommitted. private final ConcurrentHashMap<String,String> cache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(); @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized String read(String name) { return emptyIfNull(cache.get(name)); } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized String write(String name, String expectedContents, String newContents) { // This is a no-op. if (isEquals(expectedContents, newContents)) return null; String currentContents = read(name); if (expectedContents != null && ! isEquals(currentContents, expectedContents)) return currentContents; update(name, newContents); // Success! return null; } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized MemoryStore update(String name, String newContents) { cache.put(name, newContents); super.update(name, newContents); // Trigger any listeners. return this; } }

##### 5.10.2 - FileStore updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore} is the typical store used for configuration files. It provides the following configurable settings:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder#charset(Charset) charset(Charset)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder#directory(File) directory(File)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder#updateOnWrite() updateOnWrite()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder#enableWatcher() enableWatcher()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.FileStore.Builder#watcherSensitivity(WatcherSensitivity) watcherSensitivity(WatcherSensitivity)}

##### Example:

// Create a config store with a watcher thread and high sensitivity. FileStore fileStore = FileStore .create() .directory("configs") .useWatcher() .watcherSensitivity(HIGH) .build(); // Create a config using the store defined above. Config config = Config .create("MyConfig.cfg") .store(fileStore) .build();

##### 5.10.3 - Custom ConfigStores updated: 9.0.0

The ConfigStore API has been written to allow easy development of custom configuration storage classes.

The example below shows a starting point for an implementation based on polling a relational database. The source can be found here: {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.core.config.store.SqlStore}. Completing it is left as an exercise:

##### Example Store Class:

public class SqlStore extends ConfigStore { private final String jdbcUrl; private final String tableName, nameColumn, valueColumn; private final Timer watcher; private final ConcurrentHashMap&låt;String,String> cache = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(); protected SqlStore(ConfigStore.Builder builder) { super(builder); this.jdbcUrl = builder.jdbcUrl; this.tableName = builder.tableName; this.nameColumn = builder.nameColumn; this.valueColumn = builder.valueColumn; int pollInterval = builder.pollInterval; TimerTask timerTask = new TimerTask() { @Override public void run() { SqlStore.this.poll(); } }; this.watcher = new Timer("MyTimer"); watcher.scheduleAtFixedRate(timerTask, 0, pollInterval * 1000); } synchronized void poll() { // Loop through all our entries and find the latest values. for (Map.Entry<String,String> e : cache.entrySet()) { String name = e.getKey(); String cacheContents = e.getValue(); String newContents = getDatabaseValue(name); // Change detected! if (! cacheContents.equals(newContents)) update(name, newContents); } } // Reads the value from the database. protected String getDatabaseValue(String name) { // Implement me! return null; } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public boolean exists(String name) { // Implement me! return false; } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized String read(String name) { String contents = cache.get(name); if (contents == null) { contents = getDatabaseValue(name); update(name, contents); } return contents; } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized String write(String name, String expectedContents, String newContents) { // This is a no-op. if (StringUtils.eq(expectedContents, newContents)) return null; String currentContents = read(name); if (expectedContents != null && StringUtils.ne(currentContents, expectedContents)) return currentContents; update(name, newContents); // Success! return null; } @Override /* ConfigStore */ public synchronized SqlStore update(String name, String newContents) { cache.put(name, newContents); super.update(name, newContents); // Trigger any listeners. return this; } @Override /* Closeable */ public synchronized void close() { if (watcher != null) watcher.cancel(); } }

##### 5.10.4 - ConfigStore Listeners

The ConfigStore class has the following listener methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore#register(String,ConfigStoreListener) register(String,ConfigStoreListener)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStore#unregister(String,ConfigStoreListener) unregister(String,ConfigStoreListener)}

Note that this is a different listener than {@link org.apache.juneau.config.event.ConfigEventListener}. In this case, we're just listening for changed files:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStoreListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.store.ConfigStoreListener#onChange(String) onChange(String)}

This listener is used by the Config class to listen for changes on the file system so that it can be updated in real-time.

### 5.11 - Read-only Configs updated: 9.0.0

The following settings can be used to create read-only Config objects:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config.Builder#readOnly() readOnly()}

##### Example:

// Create a read-only config Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").readOnly().build();

This causes all methods that make modifications to throw {@link java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException}.

### 5.12 - Closing Configs

In general, it's good practice to close Config if you're only creating them temporarily so that their listeners get unregistered from the underlying storage APIs.

##### Example:

// Create a transient config. Config config = Config.create("MyConfig.cfg").build(); // Do stuff with it. // Then close the config to unregister the listeners. config.close();

### 5.13 - System Default Config created: 8.0.0, updated: 8.1.0

Each JVM has a system default config. This is a configuration file that serves as the default configuration for the system. It's accessed using the following static methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#getSystemDefault() getSystemDefault()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#setSystemDefault(Config) setSystemDefault(Config)}

If you do not specify a system default config, one will be automatically searched for. The search is done in the following order:

1. If the system property "juneau.configFile" is set, we search for this file in first the home directory and then the classpath.
2. In the home directory:
   1. <jar-name>.cfg
   2. Any file that end with .cfg. First one matched alphabetically is used.
3. In the context classpath root package (i.e. inside the jar itself):
   1. <jar-name>.cfg
   2. juneau.cfg
   3. default.cfg
   4. application.cfg
   5. app.cfg
   6. settings.cfg
   7. application.properties

Later in the section on REST resources, we describe how to associate configurations with REST resources using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#config() @Rest(config)} annotation. The system default configuration can be referenced with the keyword SYSTEM_DEFAULT like so:

// Always use system default. @Rest(config="SYSTEM_DEFAULT") // Use system property if set or the system default if not. @Rest(config="$S{juneau.configFile,SYSTEM_DEFAULT}")

By default, all properties in the system default configuration are automatically set as system properties. This can be disabled by setting the system property "juneau.disableAutoSystemProps" to "true".

## 6 - juneau-rest-server updated: 9.0.0

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-rest-server</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-rest-server-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.rest.server_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-rest-server library allows you to quickly wrap POJOs and expose them as full-fledged REST resources served up in a servlet container using a bare-minimum amount of code. The primary goal for Juneau was to make it as easy as possible to implement easy-to-read and self-documenting REST resources using very little code.

One of the biggest advantages of the Juneau REST framework over similar architectures is that it hides the serialization layer from the developer. The developer can work entirely with POJOs and let the Juneau framework handle all the serialization and parsing work. The developer need never know what the Accept or Content-Type or Accept-Encoding (etc...) header values are because those details are all handled by the framework.

The API builds upon the existing JEE Servlet API. The root class, {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet} is nothing but a specialized {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet}, and the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse} classes are nothing more than specialized {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest} and {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse} objects. This allows maximum flexibility for the developer since you can let Juneau handle operations such as serialization, or you can revert to the existing servlet APIs to do low-level processing of requests yourself. It also means you need nothing more than a Servlet container such as Jetty to use the REST framework.

##### Features

- Deployable in standard Servlet containers.
- Deployable in Spring Boot environments with full support for injected beans.
- Serializes POJOs to JSON, XML, HTML, URL-Encoding, UON, RDF/XML, N-Triple, Turtle, N3, SOAP, or Java-serialized-object based on value of Accept header.
  No user code is required to handle these types.
  - Extensible design that provides ability to override existing content type handlers, or add the ability to handle other kinds of content types.
- Parses content of POST/PUT request bodies to POJOs.
- Automatic built-in ability to serialize POJO metadata to JSON+SCHEMA, XML+SCHEMA, or HTML+SCHEMA based on Accept header.
- Automatic negotiation of output Writer based on HTTP headers.
  - Automatic handling of Accept-Charset header for all character sets supported by the JVM.
  - Automatic handling of Accept-Encoding header with registered encoders.
- Automatic error handling.
  - Automatic 401 errors (Unauthorized) on failed guards.
  - Automatic 404 errors (Not Found) on unmatched path patterns.
  - Automatic 405 errors (Method Not Implemented) on unimplemented methods.
  - Automatic 406 errors (Not Acceptable) when no matching serializer was found to handle the Accept header.
  - Automatic 412 errors (Precondition Failed) when all matchers failed to match.
  - Automatic 415 errors (Unsupported Media Type) when no matching parser was found was found to handle the Content-Type header.
  - Automatic 500 errors on uncaught exceptions.
- Support for parsing all HTTP parts (headers, query, formData, path variables) using Swagger formatting rules and validations.
  Not limited to simple POJOs, but rather you can represent arbitrarily-complex POJOs in any HTTP part using UON notation.
- Auto-created Swagger JSON and Swagger UI available through OPTIONS requests of resources.
- Various useful debugging features that make debugging using a browser extremely simple...
  - Ability to pass HTTP header values as URL GET parameters (e.g. &Accept=text/xml).
  - Ability to pass HTTP content on PUT/POST requests as a URL GET parameter (e.g. &content=(foo=bar)).
  - Ability to simulate non-GET requests using a &method GET parameter (e.g. &method=POST).
  - Ability to force "text/plain" on response using GET parameter &plainText=true.
- Ability to implement overloaded HTTP methods through the use of the &method attribute (e.g. &method=FOO).
- Ability to match URL patterns (e.g. /foo/{fooId}/bar/{barId}) against URLs (e.g. /foo/123/bar/456/bing).
- Ability to associate guards at the resource or method levels through annotations.
  Typically useful for security, but can be used for a variety of purposes.
- Ability to associate converters at the resource or method levels through annotations.
  Typically useful for performing conversions on input and output, such as for supporting older input and output formats.

### 6.1 - Overview created: 9.0.0

A REST resource is simply a Java class annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}. The most common case is a class that extends {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet}, which itself is simply an extension of {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet} which allows it to be deployed as a servlet.

Juneau has two sample applications for demonstrating how to use the REST API, one using Jetty and one using Spring Boot:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.jetty}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.springboot}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.springboot} application is described in the section {@doc jrss.Overview}.

The Jetty application consists of the following application class that registers our top-level servlet:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { JettyMicroservice .create() .args(args) .servlet(RootResources.class) .build() .start() .startConsole() .join(); } }

The root resources class is an example of a router page that is used to attach children to:

@Rest( title="Root resources", description="Example of a router resource page.", children={ HelloWorldResource.class, DtoExamples.class, UtilityBeansResource.class, HtmlBeansResource.class, ConfigResource.class, ShutdownResource.class } ) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "api: servlet:/api", "stats: servlet:/stats", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/RootResources.java" }, aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>This is an example of a 'router' page that serves as a jumping-off point to child resources.</p>", " <p>Resources can be nested arbitrarily deep through router pages.</p>", " <p>Note the <span class='link'>API</span> link provided that lets you see the generated swagger doc for this page.</p>", " <p>Also note the <span class='link'>STATS</span> link to view runtime statistics on this page.</p>", " <p>Also note the <span class='link'>SOURCE</span> link to view the source code for the page.</p>", " <p>All content on pages in the UI are serialized POJOs. In this case, it's a serialized array of beans with 2 properties, 'name' and 'description'.</p>", " <p>Other features (such as this aside) are added through annotations.</p>", "</div>" }, asideFloat="RIGHT" ) @SerializerConfig( // For testing purposes, we want to use single quotes in all the serializers so it's easier to do simple // String comparisons. // You can apply any of the Serializer/Parser/BeanContext settings this way. quoteChar="'" ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalJenaConfig { // IMPORTANT! If you don't need RDF support, change the parent interface to BasicUniversalConfig. // It allows you to remove the Jena prerequisite. private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; }

This is what it looks like in a browser:

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.HelloWorldResource} class is our basic example of a child REST resource:

@Rest( title="Hello World", description="An example of the simplest-possible resource", path="/helloWorld" ) @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This page shows a resource that simply response with a 'Hello world!' message</p>", " <p>The POJO serialized is a simple String.</p>", "</div>" } ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestObject implements BasicUniversalConfig { @RestGet(path="/*", summary="Responds with \"Hello world!\"") public String sayHello() { return "Hello world!"; } }

This is what it looks like in a browser:

##### HTML representation

It doesn't much simpler than that. In this case, we're simply returning a string that will be converted to any of the supported languages (e.g. JSON, XML, HTML, ...). However, we could have returned any POJO consisting of beans, maps, collections, etc...

### 6.2 - @Rest-Annotated Classes updated: 8.1.2,9.0.0

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#uriResolution() uriResolution}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest} annotation in inheritable from parents and interfaces of resource classes. When multiple annotations are defined at different levels, the annotation values are combined. This is a particularly useful feature because it allows you to define your own configured parent resource classes that can be extended by all your child resources so that they all share common settings.

##### 6.2.1 - Predefined Classes updated: 9.0.0

The following example represents the bare-minimum needed for deploying a top-level REST endpoint with basic JSON marshalling support:

@Rest( path="/mypath", serializers=JsonSerializer.class, parsers=JsonParser.class ) public class MyResource extends RestServlet { @RestGet(path="/") public Object getPojo() { ... } }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet} class provides all the logic for starting up your REST application when the servlet container calls {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#init(ServletConfig) init(ServletConfig)}. On startup, it scans your class for annotations and sets up all of your serializers and parsers. It then does this recursively for all child resources.

Users will typically not extend directly from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet}. Instead, several classes are provided by the framework to provide additional functionality and to handle different use-cases. Users will typically extend from one of these Basic* classes:

- {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations}, {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicGroupOperations}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.SpringRestServlet}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations}, {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicGroupOperations}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestObject}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations}, {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObjectGroup} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicGroupOperations}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet} class itself is not configured with any serializers or parsers. However, it does provide several convenience methods to be aware of:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet}
  - Predefined lifecycle hook methods:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onInit(RestContext.Builder) onInit()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onPostInit(RestContext) onPostInit()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onPostInitChildFirst(RestContext) onPostInitChildFirst()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onStartCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse) onStartCall()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onPreCall(RestRequest,RestResponse) onPreCall()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onPostCall(RestRequest,RestResponse) onPostCall()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onEndCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse) onEndCall()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#onDestroy(RestContext) onDestroy()}
  - Logging methods:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#log(Level,String,Object...) log(Level,String,Object...)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#log(Level,Throwable,String,Object...) log(Level,Throwable,String,Object...)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#log(String) log(String)}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#log(String,Throwable) log(String,Throwable)}
  - Other methods:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#getContext() getContext()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#getPath() getPath()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#getRequest() getRequest()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet#getResponse() getResponse()}

The Basic* classes implement the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations} interface which defines common endpoints for swagger documentation, statistics, and serving static files:

public interface BasicRestOperations { @RestGet(path="/api/*") public {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations#getSwagger(RestRequest) getSwagger}({@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} req); @RestGet(path="/htdocs/*") public {@link org.apache.juneau.http.resource.HttpResource} {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations#getHtdoc(String,Locale) getHtdoc}(@Path String path, Locale locale); @RestGet(path="favicon.ico") public {@link org.apache.juneau.http.resource.HttpResource} {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations#getFavIcon() getFavIcon}(); @RestGet(path="/stats") public {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.stats.RestContextStats} {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations#getStats(RestRequest) getStats}({@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} req); @RestOp(method=ANY, path="/error") public void {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestOperations#error() error}(); }

The Basic* classes also implement {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig} interface which provides basic JSON marshalling support. Other config interfaces are available as well to quickly provide different types of marshalling support. Note that these interfaces do not define any methods, but rather simply provide a set of commonly-used annotations so that you don't need to define them on all your classes.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonHtmlConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicSimpleJsonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicOpenApiConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalJenaConfig}

For example, if you want to provide a resource that supports all languages in Juneau, simply add the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalConfig} interface like so:

@Rest(...) public class MyResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

The *Group classes implement the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicGroupOperations} interface which provides an additional REST endpoint for listing and navigating child resources:

public interface BasicGroupOperations { @RestGet(path="/") public {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.beans.ChildResourceDescriptions} {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicGroupOperations#getChildren(RestRequest) getChildren}({@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} req); }

The *Spring* classes are meant to be used in Spring Boot environments so that you can take full advantage of the Spring Framework for injecting dependencies on child resources and helper classes.

The *Object* classes provide the same functionality as the servlet classes but do not extend from {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet}. This becomes important in Spring Boot environments where you may want to define child resources as Spring Beans, but don't want Spring Boot to auto-detect them as servlets to be deployed as top-level resources. This is less important in standard servlet containers that don't auto-deploy servlets. In those environments, you can also use servlet classes for child resources.

The following is a breakdown of which classes you will use in different cases:

- Top level resources in a servlet container:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup}
- Top level resources in a Spring Boot environment:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup}
- Child resources:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObjectGroup}

##### 6.2.2 - Child Resources updated: 9.0.0

Child Resources are REST servlets or objects that are linked to parent resources through the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#children() @Rest(children)} annotation.

##### Example:

/** Parent Resource */ @Rest( path="/parent", children={MyChildResource.class} ) public MyRootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

/** Child Resource */ @Rest( path="/child" // Path relative to parent resource. ) public MyChildResource {...} // Note that we don't need to extend from RestServlet.

The path of the child resource gets appended to the path of the parent resource. So in the example above, the child resource is accessed through the URL /parent/child.

One advantage of using child resources is that they do not need to be declared in the JEE web.xml file. Initialization of and access to the child resources occurs through the parent resource. Children can be nested arbitrary deep to create complex REST interfaces with a single top-level REST servlet.

As explained earlier, child REST objects typically extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject} or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObjectGroup} and not from one of the servlet classes. They also technically don't even need to extend from those classes and can instead just be a normal class annotated with the bare-minimum {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp} annotations.

##### 6.2.3 - Path Variables updated: 9.0.0

The path can contain variables that get resolved to {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path @Path} parameters or access through the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getPathParams()} method.

##### Example:

@Rest( path="/myResource/{foo}/{bar}" ) public class MyResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { @RestPost("/{baz}") public void String doX(@Path String foo, @Path int bar) { ... } }

Variables can be used on either top-level or child resources and can be defined on multiple levels. Path variables resolved in parent resource paths are also available to the child resources.

All variables in the path must be specified or else the target will not resolve and a 404 will result.

##### 6.2.4 - Deployment updated: 9.0.0

REST resources are deployed in the following ways:

- Deployed in a J2EE container as a servlet.
- Deployed in a Spring Boot environment as a servlet.
- Deployed as a child of another REST resource.

When deployed in a J2EE container, you MUST extend from one of the servlet classes.

- When deployed as a child of another resource, you MAY extend from one of the servlet classes but it's not necessary. The only requirement is that the class be annotated with @Rest and have one of the following constructors if they aren't already Spring Beans:
  - public T()
  - public T(RestContext.Builder)

Deployment in a servlet container is typically done by adding a servlet entry for the top-level resources to the JEE web.xml.

Deployment in a Spring Boot environment involves defining your top-level resources as Spring Beans. Top-level resources must extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup} so that Juneau can hook into the injection framework provided by Spring. Child resource CAN be defined as injected Spring Beans as well but it is not a requirement.

##### Example Spring Boot Configuration

@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class SpringBootAppConfig { @Bean public MyRootResources getRootResources() { ... } @Bean public MyChildResource getMyChildResource() { ... } @Bean public ServletRegistrationBean>Servlet> getRootServlet(RootResources rootResources) { return new ServletRegistrationBean>>(rootResources, "/*"); } }

##### 6.2.5 - Lifecycle Hooks updated: 9.0.0

Lifecycle hooks allow you to hook into lifecycle events of the servlet/resource creation and REST calls.

For example, if you want to add an initialization method to your resource:

@Rest(...) public class MyResource { // Our database. private Map<Integer,Object> myDatabase; @RestHook(INIT) public void initMyDatabase(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { myDatabase = new LinkedHashMap<>(); } }

Or if you want to intercept REST calls:

@Rest(...) public class MyResource { // Add a request attribute to all incoming requests. @RestHook(PRE_CALL) public void onPreCall(RestRequest req) { req.setAttribute("foo", "bar"); } }

The hook events can be broken down into two categories:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent}
  - Resource lifecycle events:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#INIT INIT} - Right before initialization.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#POST_INIT POST_INIT} - Right after initialization.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#POST_INIT_CHILD_FIRST POST_INIT_CHILD_FIRST} - Right after initialization, but run child methods first.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#DESTROY DESTROY} - Right before servlet destroy.
  - REST call lifecycle events:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#START_CALL START_CALL} - At the beginning of a REST call.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#PRE_CALL PRE_CALL} - Right before the @RestOp method is invoked.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#POST_CALL POST_CALL} - Right after the @RestOp method is invoked.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#END_CALL END_CALL} - At the end of the REST call after the response has been flushed.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestHook}

### 6.3 - @RestOp-Annotated Methods updated: 9.0.0

REST Java methods are identified on REST servlets using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp} annotation. The annotation allows the framework to identify the available REST methods through reflection.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#clientVersion() clientVersion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#consumes() consumes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#contextClass() contextClass}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#converters() converters}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#debug() debug}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultAccept() defaultAccept}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultCharset() defaultCharset}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestFormData() defaultRequestFormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestHeaders() defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestQueryData() defaultRequestQueryData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultResponseHeaders() defaultResponseHeaders}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#maxInput() maxInput}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#method() method}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#on() on}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#parsers() parsers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#path() path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#produces() produces}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#roleGuard() roleGuard}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#rolesDeclared() rolesDeclared}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#swagger() swagger}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#value() value}

##### Example:

@RestOp(method=GET, path="/") public String sayHello() { return "Hello world!"; }

The following specialized annotations are also provided for specific HTTP methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestGet}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestPut}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestPost}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestDelete}

##### Example:

@RestGet(path="/") public String sayHello() { return "Hello world!"; }

##### 6.3.1 - Inferred HTTP Methods and Paths updated: 9.0.0

When the name and/or path values are not specified, their values are inferred from the Java method name.

The HTTP method can be inferred from the Java method by starting the method name with any of the following:

- get
- put
- post
- delete
- options
- head
- trace
- patch

If path is not defined, it's inferred from the Java method name (minus the prefix above).

##### Examples:

// Method="GET", path="/foo" @RestOp public String getFoo() {...}

// Method="DELETE", path="/foo" @RestOp public String deleteFoo() {...}

// Method="GET", path="/foo" // "GET" is default @RestOp public String foo() {...}

// Method="GET", path="/" @RestOp(path="/") public String foo() {...}

// Method="GET", path="/" @RestOp public String get() {...}

// Method="POST", path="/" @RestOp public String post() {...}

If name and path are both specified, the Java method name can be anything.

##### 6.3.2 - Java Method Parameters updated: 9.0.0

Additional parameter types can be defined by overriding {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createRestOpArgs(BeanStore,Supplier)} or by adding them to the bean store using {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createBeanStore(Class,Supplier)}.

##### 6.3.3 - Java Method Return Types updated: 9.0.0

The return type of the Java method can be any serializable POJO as defined in {@doc jm.PojoCategories POJO Categories}. It can also be void if the method is not sending any output (e.g. a request redirect) or is setting the output using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#setContent(Object)} method.

##### Example:

@RestGet public String doGet() { return "Hello World!"; }

Additional parameter types can be defined by overriding {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createResponseProcessors(BeanStore,Supplier)}.

##### 6.3.4 - Java Method Throwable Types updated: 9.0.0

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParseException}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.InvalidDataConversionException}
- Processed as 401/Unauthorized:
  - Any class named "*AccessDenied*" or "*Unauthorized*"
- Processed as 404/Not Found:
  - Any class named "*Empty*" or "*NotFound*"
- Anything else processed as 500/Internal Server Error.

##### Example:

@RestGet("/user/login") public Ok login( @FormData("username") String username, @FormData("password") String password ) throws Unauthorized { if (! isOK(username, password)) throw new Unauthorized("You're not welcome!"); return Ok.OK; }

##### 6.3.5 - Path Patterns updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#path() @RestOp(path)} annotation allows you to define URL path patterns to match against. These patterns can contain variables of the form "{xxx}" that can be passed in directly to the Java methods as extra parameters.

In the following example, 3 separate GET request handlers are defined with different path patterns. Note how the variables are passed in as additional arguments on the method, and how those arguments are automatically converted to the specified class type...

// Default method @RestGet(path="/*") public void doGetDefault() { ... } // Method with path pattern @RestGet(path="/xxx") public void doGetNoArgs(...) { ... } // Method with path pattern with arguments @RestGet(path="/xxx/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}/{bing}") public void doGetWithArgs( @Path("foo") String foo, @Path("bar") int bar, @Path("baz") MyEnum baz, @Path("bing") UUID qux ) { ... }

By default, path patterns are matched using a best-match heuristic. When overlaps occur, URLs are matched from most-specific to most-general order:

// Try first @RestGet("/foo/bar") public void method1() { ... } // Try second @RestGet("/foo/{bar}") public void method2(...) { ... } // Try third @RestGet("/foo/*") public void method3(...) { ... } // Try last @RestGet("/*") public void method4(...) { ... }

Paths that end with "/*" will do a prefix match on the incoming URL. Any remainder after the match can be accessed through {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestPathParams#getRemainder()} or parameters with the @Path("/*") annotation. On the other hand, paths that don't end with "/*" (e.g. "/" or "/foo") will require an exact URL match, and if any remainder exists, a 404 (not found) error will be thrown.

The following example shows the distinction.

@RestGet("/*") public void doGet(@Path("/*") String remainder) { // URL path pattern can have remainder accessible through req.getRemainder(). } @RestPut("/") public void doPut() { // URL path pattern must match exactly and will cause a 404 error if a remainder exists. }

##### 6.3.6 - Matchers updated: 9.0.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.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 @RestGet(path="/*", matchers=IsAdminMatcher.class) public Object doGetForAdmin() { ... } // GET method that gets invoked for everyone else @RestGet("/*") 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"); } }

- If no methods are found with a matching matcher, a 412 Precondition Failed status is returned.
- If multiple matchers are specified on the same method, ONLY ONE matcher needs to match for the method to be invoked.
- Note that you CANNOT define identical paths on different methods UNLESS you use matchers.
  That includes paths that are only different in variable names (e.g. "/foo/{bar}" and "/foo/{baz}").
  If you try to do so, a ServletException will be thrown on startup.
- Methods with matchers take precedence over methods without.
  Otherwise, methods are attempted in the order they appear in the class.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#matchers RestOp(matchers)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.matcher.MultipartFormDataMatcher}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.matcher.UrlEncodedFormMatcher}

##### 6.3.7 - Overloading HTTP Methods

Through the use of the built-in "method" GET parameter, you can implement requests beyond the basic REST http method types.

For example, the URL "/sample/foo?method=BAR" will cause the following method to be invoked...

@RestOp(method="BAR") public void doBar(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) { // Handle BAR requests }

To support overloaded methods, the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#allowedMethodParams() @Rest(allowedMethodParams)} setting must be enabled on your servlet.

@Rest( // Allow &method parameter on BAR requests allowedMethodParams="BAR" )

##### 6.3.8 - Additional Information updated: 9.0.0

Refer to the following Javadocs for more information:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestContent}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestHeaders}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestQueryParams}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestFormParams}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestPathParams}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestAttributes}

### 6.4 - HTTP Parts updated: 9.0.0

In previous examples we showed the ability to pass in annotated parameters on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}-annotated methods to parse standard HTTP parts:

##### Example:

@RestGet("/example1/{a1}/*") public String doGetExample1( @Path("a1") String a1, @Query("p1") int p1, @HasQuery("p2") boolean hasP3, @Path("/*") String remainder, @Header("Accept-Language") String lang ) { // Do something with all of those }

Annotations are provided for both request and response HTTP parts.

The annotations used for defining the schema for request HTTP parts are:

- HTTP request parts:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.HasFormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.HasQuery}
- HTTP response parts:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.StatusCode}
- Sub-annotations:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Items}

These annotation can be used on method parameters or on the parameter types themselves, or a combination of both.

- When defined on types, annotations are aggregated from parent to child with child values taking precedence. When defined on both, annotations are aggregated with values on parameters taking precedence.

##### 6.4.1 - Part Marshallers updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

Juneau comes with three basic marshall types for serializing and parsing Header, Query, Form, and Path parts:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.SimplePartSerializer} - Serializes directly to strings.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer} - Serializes to UON notation.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} - Serializes using Open-API schema rules.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.SimplePartParser} - Parses directly from strings.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} - Parses from UON notation.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser} - Parses using Open-API schema rules.

By default, the REST API uses the OpenAPI serializer and parser which allows for schema-based marshalling. You also have the option to use UON marshalling which is schema-less but allows for JSON-equivalent data structures (object/array/primitives/...) using URL-encoding notation. This can be done by overriding the part marshallers through the following APIs:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#partSerializer() partSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#partParser() partParser}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createPartSerializer(BeanStore,Supplier) createPartSerializer(BeanStore,Supplier)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createPartParser(BeanStore,Supplier) createPartParser(BeanStore,Supplier)}

The OpenAPI marshallers themselves also have the ability to support UON notation for individual parts via the schema itself:

@Query(..., schema=@Schema(format="uon")) Map<Integer,MyBean> myMap

##### 6.4.2 - HTTP Part Annotations updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

The following annotations allow for defining part schemas based on the OpenAPI standard.

- Request annotations:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request#on() on}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request#onClass() onClass}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request#parser() parser}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header @Header}/{@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query @Query}/ {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData @FormData}/{@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path @Path} annotations can be used on parameters of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}-annotated methods to get access to request headers, query parameters, form-data parameters, and path parts.

The most typical scenario is to simply use the value field to define parameter names:

##### Example:

@RestGet public void doGet( @Query("p1") int p1, @Query("p2") String p2, @Query("p3") UUID p3) {...}

This is functionally equivalent to the following code:

@RestGet public void doGet(RestRequest req) { RequestQueryParams query = req.getQueryParams(); int p1 = query.get("p1").asInteger().orElse(0); String p2 = query.get("p2").orElse(null); UUID p3 = query.get("p3").as(UUID.class).orElse(null); }

The special name "*" (or blank) can be used to represent all values. When used, the data type must be a Map or bean.

##### Examples:

// Multiple values passed as a map. @RestGet public void doGet(@Query("*") Map<String,Object> map) {...}

// Same, but name "*" is inferred. @RestGet public void doGet(@Query Map<String,Object> map) {...}

// Multiple values passed as a bean. @RestGet public void doGet(@Query MyQueryBean bean) {...}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content @Content} annotation is used to identify POJOs to be used as the body of an HTTP request.

##### Examples:

// Defined on parameter @RestPost public void addPet(@Content Pet pet) {...}

// Defined on POJO class @RestPost public void addPet(Pet pet) {...} @Content public class Pet {...}

This is functionally equivalent to the following code:

@RestPost public void addPet(RestRequest req) { Pet pet = req.getContent().as(Pet.class); ... }

In addition to {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content @Content}-annotated parameters/types, the body of an HTTP request can be retrieved by passing in parameters of the following types (matched in the specified order):

1. {@link java.io.Reader}
   @Content annotation is optional.
   Content-Type is ignored.
2. {@link java.io.InputStream}
   @Content annotation is optional.
   Content-Type is ignored.
3. Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories Parsable POJO} type.
   Content-Type is required to identify correct parser.
4. Objects convertible from {@link java.io.Reader} by having one of the following non-deprecated methods:
   - public T(Reader in) {...}
   - public static T create(Reader in) {...}
   - public static T fromReader(Reader in) {...}
   Content-Type must not be present or match an existing parser so that it's not parsed as a POJO.
5. Objects convertible from {@link java.io.InputStream} by having one of the following non-deprecated methods:
   - public T(InputStream in) {...}
   - public static T create(InputStream in) {...}
   - public static T fromInputStream(InputStream in) {...}
   Content-Type must not be present or match an existing parser so that it's not parsed as a POJO.
6. Objects convertible from {@link java.lang.String} by having one of the following non-deprecated methods:
   - public T(String in) {...}
   - public static T create(String in) {...}
   - public static T fromString(String in) {...}
   - public static T parse(String in) {...}
   - public static T parseString(String in) {...}
   - public static T forName(String in) {...}
   - public static T forString(String in) {...}
   Note that this also includes all enums.
7. Any {@link java.util.Optional} of anything on this list.

When used in combination with the mutable {@link org.apache.juneau.Value} object, the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.StatusCode @StatusCode} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header @Header} annotations can be used on parameters {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}-annotated methods to to define to response codes and headers.

##### Example:

@RestGet("/user/login") public void login( @FormData("username") String username, @FormData("password") String password, @StatusCode Value<Integer> status, @Header("My-Response-Header") Value<String> myResponseHeader ) { if (isValid(username, password)) { status.set(200); myResponseHeader.set("Welcome " + username + "!"); } else { status.set(401); } }

This is functionally equivalent to the following code:

@RestGet("/user/login") public void doGet(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) { RequestFormParams form = req.getFormParams(); String username = form.get("username").orElse(null); String password = form.get("password").orElse(null); if (isValid(username, password) { res.setStatus(200); res.setHeader("My-Response-Header", "Welcome " + username + "!"); } else { res.setStatus(401); } }

The default registered part marshallers, {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser}, are used to marshall POJOs using schemas defined via the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema @Schema} annotation.

For example, the following shows how a pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited numbers (e.g. "1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,9") can be converted to a 2-dimensional array of Longs:

@RestGet("/testQuery1") public void testQuery1( @Query("queryParamName") @Schema( collectionFormat="pipes", items=@Items( collectionFormat="csv", type="integer", format="int64", minimum="0", maximum="100" minLength=1, maxLength=10 ), minLength=1, maxLength=10 ) Long[][] queryParameter ) {...} // Same but using condensed notation. @RestGet("/testQuery2") public void testQuery2( @Query("queryParamName") @Schema( cf="pipes", minl=1, maxl=10, i=@Items(cf="csv", t="integer", f="int64", min="0", max="100", minl=1, maxl=10) ) Long[][] queryParameter ) {...}

Schema-based marshalling works for both request and response parts. Input will be converted based on the types and formats defined in the schema definition. Input validations such as minLength/maxLength that don't match the input will result in automatic 400 Bad Request responses.

The part and schema annotations are also used for supplying swagger information about the HTTP part. This information is used to populate the auto-generated Swagger documentation and UI.

##### Example:

@Query("name") @Schema( description="Pet name", required=true )

{@doc jrs.SvlVariables SVL Variables} (e.g. "$L{my.localized.variable}") are supported on annotation fields as well. Among other things, this allow for annotation values to be defined externally and the ability to produce localized swagger documents based on the Accept-Language on a request.

##### Example:

@Schema( description="$L{PetNameDescription}" )

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content @Content} annotation can also be used to parse HTTP request bodies using OpenAPI schemas when the body content type matches the {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser} parser via the header Content-Type: text/openapi.

The following shows the same for a request body:

@RestPost("/testContent") public void testContent( @Content @Schema( items=@Items( collectionFormat="pipes", items=@SubItems( collectionFormat="csv", type="integer", format="int64", minimum="0", maximum="100" minLength=1, maxLength=10 ) ), minLength=1, maxLength=10 ) Long[][] content ) {...}

The list of valid POJO types for parameters depends on type and format of the value or items/entries of the value. For example, instead of Longs in the example above, we could also define a 2-dimensional array of POJOs convertible from Longs:

// Content is a 2-dimensional array of POJOs convertible from Longs: @RestPost("/example1") public void testContent(@Content(...) MyPojo1[][] content) {...} public class MyPojo1 { public MyPojo1(Long input) {...} }

// Content is a POJO that takes in a Long array: @RestPost("/example2") public void testContent(@Content(...) MyPojo2[] content) {...} public class MyPojo2 { public MyPojo2(Long[] input) {...} }

// Content is a POJO that takes in the whole 2-dimensional array: @RestPost("/example3") public voidtestContent@Content(...) MyPojo3 content) {...} public class MyPojo3 { public MyPojo3(Long[][] input) {...} }

As you can see, the complexity of possible input types expands significantly. For more information about valid parameter types, see {@doc jm.OpenApiParsers OpenAPI Parsers}

##### 6.4.3 - Default Parts created: 9.0.0

The following annotations are provided for specifying default part values for requests and responses:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#defaultAccept() defaultAccept}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#defaultCharset() defaultCharset}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#defaultRequestHeaders() defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#defaultResponseHeaders() defaultResponseHeaders}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultAccept() defaultAccept}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultCharset() defaultCharset}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultContentType() defaultContentType}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestAttributes() defaultRequestAttributes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestFormData() defaultRequestFormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestHeaders() defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultRequestQueryData() defaultRequestQueryData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#defaultResponseHeaders() defaultResponseHeaders}

##### Example:

// Servlet with default headers @Rest( // Assume "text/json" Accept value when Accept not specified defaultRequestHeaders={"Accept: text/json"}, // Add a version header attribute to all responses defaultResponseHeaders={"X-Version: 1.0"} ) public MyRestServlet extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

Default parts can also be specified programmatically through any of the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createDefaultRequestAttributes(BeanStore,Supplier) createDefaultRequestAttributes(BeanStore,Supplier)}

##### 6.4.4 - @Request Beans updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request @Request} annotation can used to define proxy interfaces against HTTP requests in combination with the following annotations used on methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema}

##### Example:

@RestPut("/pets/{petId}") public void addPet(UpdatePetBean updatePet) {...} @Request public interface UpdatePetBean { @Path // {petId} inferred. int getPetId(); @Query("verbose") boolean isDebug(); @Header("*") Map<String,Object> getAllHeaders(); @Content Pet getPet(); }

The example above is identical in behavior to specifying individual annotated parameters on the @RestOp-annotated method:

@RestPut("/pets/{petId}") public void addPet( @Path("petId") int petId, @Query("verbose") boolean debug, @Header("*") Map<String,Object> allHeaders, @Content UpdatePetBean pet ) {...}

The return types of the getters must be the supported parameter types for the HTTP-part annotation used. Schema-based serialization and parsing is used just as if used as individual parameter types. Annotations used are the exact same used on REST parameters and have all the same feature support including automatic Swagger validation and documentation. Part names can either be explicitly specified or automatically inferred from the getter names.

##### Example:

@Request public interface MyRequest { // Schema-based query parameter "pipedCdlInts": // Pipe-delimited list of comma-delimited lists of integers. @Query @Schema( collectionFormat="pipes" items=@Items( items=@SubItems( collectionFormat="csv" type="integer", minimum=1, maximum=100 ), maximumLength=10 ) ) int[][] getPipedCdlInts(); }

For clarity, the @Request annotation can be defined on the parameter, class, or both.

##### Example:

@RestPut("/pets/{petId}") public void addPet(@Request UpdatePetBean updatePet) {...} @Request public interface UpdatePetBean {...}

##### 6.4.5 - @Response Beans updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response} annotation can be used to define beans that return HTTP response parts via annotations and methods. They are used in combination with the following annotations:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.StatusCode}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema}

Response beans can either be returned or thrown from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}-annotated methods.

- As a general convention, response beans with return codes <400 should be defined as regular classes and >=400 should be defined as exceptions.

The following example shows the @Response annotation used to define an exception for an invalid login attempt:

// Our annotated normal response. @Response @StatusCode(200) @Schema( description="User was good." // Description show in Swagger ) public class ValidLogin { public ValidLogin() { ... } // Response bean converted to output based on Accept header. @Content public WelcomeMessageBean getContent() { return new WelcomeMessageBean(); } }

// Our annotated exception. @Response @StatusCode(401) @Schema( description="Invalid username or password provided" // Description show in Swagger ) public class InvalidLogin extends Exception { public InvalidLogin() { super("Invalid username or password."); // Message sent in response } @Header("My-Message") public String getMyMessage() { return "Nope!"; } }

// Our REST method that throws an annotated exception. @RestGet("/user/login") public ValidLogin login( @FormData("username") String username, @FormData("password") String password ) throws InvalidLogin { if (isValid(username, password)) { return new ValidLogin(); } throw new InvalidLogin(); }

Custom exceptions can also extend from one of the predefined HTTP exceptions such as the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response.Unauthorized} exception:

// Our annotated exception. @Response @Schema( description="Invalid username or password provided" // Overridden from parent class ) public class InvalidLogin extends Unauthorized { public InvalidLogin() { super("Invalid username or password."); } } // Parent predefined exception class. @Response @StatusCode(401) @Schema( description="Unauthorized" ) public class Unauthorized extends RestException {...}

##### 6.4.6 - HTTP Part APIs created: 9.0.0

Request HTTP parts can also be retrieved programmatically through the following classes that can be passed in as parameters or access through {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} bean:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestHeaders}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestQueryParams}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestFormParams}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestPathParams}

##### Example:

@RestPost(...) public Object myMethod(RequestHeaders headers) { // Add a default value. headers.addDefault("ETag", DEFAULT_UUID); // Get a header value as a POJO. UUID etag = headers.get("ETag").as(UUID.class).get(); // Get a header as a standard HTTP part. ContentType contentType = headers.get(ContentType.class).orElse(ContentType.TEXT_XML); }

Built in to these APIs are various convenience methods such as converting parts to different types or inline fluent assertions:

##### Example:

// Inline fluent assertion and retrieval. String foo = request .getHeader("Foo") .assertString().contains("bar") .get();

### 6.5 - Marshalling updated: 9.0.0

Juneau uses {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser Parsers} and {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer Serializers} for marshalling HTTP request and response bodies to POJOs using the Content-Type header to match the best parser and the Accept header to match the best serializer.

Serializers and parsers can be associated with REST servlets using the following annotations:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#serializers() serializers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#serializers() parsers}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#serializers() serializers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#serializers() parsers}

Request bodies are parsed and passed in via {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content @Content}-annotated parameters, and response bodies are returned or thrown by {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}-annotated methods and serialized.

##### Example:

@Rest( serializers={JsonParser.class, HtmlSerializer.class}, parsers={JsonParser.class, HtmlParser.class} ) public class MyResource { // Override at the method level. @RestPost(parsers={XmlParser.class}) public MyPojo myMethod(@Content MyPojo myPojo) { // Do something with your parsed POJO. // Then return it and serialize the POJO. } }

The following classes provide common default serializers and parsers that can be used as-is or augmented by child classes:

- Classes:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObjectGroup}
- Interfaces:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicJsonHtmlConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicSimpleJsonConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicOpenApiConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalJenaConfig}

Serializers and parsers can also be defined programmatically using an INIT hook method like shown below:

@Rest public class MyResource { @RestHook(INIT) public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) { builder.serializers().add(JsonSerializer.class, HtmlSerializer.class); builder.parsers().add(JsonParser.class, HtmlParser.class); } }

They can also be defined through {@doc jrs.RestContext custom REST context and builders}.

Config annotations allow you to define serializer and parser properties using specialized annotations at either the class or operation levels:

@Rest( ... ) @BeanConfig(sortProperties="true") @SerializerConfig(trimNulls="true") @JsonConfig(escapeSolidus="true") public class MyResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { @RestPost @BeanConfig(sortProperties="false") @SerializerConfig(trimNulls="false") public MyPojo myMethod(@Content MyPojo myPojo) { ... } }

Swaps are associated serializers and parsers registered on a REST resource via the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanConfig} annotation on either the class or method level:

// Servlet with transforms applied @Rest( ... ) @BeanConfig( swaps={ // Calendars should be serialized/parsed as ISO8601 date-time strings TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoInstant.class, // Byte arrays should be serialized/parsed as BASE64-encoded strings ByteArraySwap.Base64.class }, beanFilters={ // Subclasses of MyInterface will be treated as MyInterface objects. // Bean properties not defined on that interface will be ignored. MyInterface.class } ) public MyResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

Config annotations are defined for all serializers and parsers:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanConfig BeanConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.csv.annotation.CsvConfig CsvConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlConfig HtmlConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig HtmlDocConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.JsonConfig JsonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.JsonSchemaConfig JsonSchemaConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.annotation.MsgPackConfig MsgPackConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.annotation.OpenApiConfig OpenApiConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.annotation.ParserConfig ParserConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.annotation.PlainTextConfig PlainTextConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.annotation.RdfConfig RdfConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.annotation.SerializerConfig SerializerConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.soap.annotation.SoapXmlConfig SoapXmlConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.annotation.UonConfig UonConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncodingConfig UrlEncodingConfig}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlConfig XmlConfig}

- {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.PhotosResource} - An example of a REST resource that uses a custom serializer and parser.

### 6.6 - Form Posts updated: 9.0.0

HTTP form posts can be handled two ways:

1. By parsing the entire HTTP body into a POJO using the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser}
2. By access the form post entries as HTTP parts.

The following example shows the first approach of handling an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request of the form "aString=foo&aNumber=123&aDate=2001-07-04T15:30:45Z" and loading it into a simple bean.

// A simple bean. public static class FormInputBean { public String aString; public int aNumber; @Swap(TemporalCalendarSwap.IsoLocalDateTime.class) public Calendar aDate; }

@Rest(...) public class MyRestResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { // Our form input endpoint. @RestPost("/") public Object doPost(@Content FormInputBean input) { // Just mirror back the request return input; } }

The next example shows handling it as individual parts:

// Our form input endpoint. @RestPost("/") public Object doPost( @FormData("aString") String aString, @FormData("aNumber") int aNumber, @FormData("aDate") Calendar aDate) { ... }

The advantage to the form input bean is that it can handle any of the parsable types (e.g. JSON, XML...) in addition to URL-Encoding while the latter approach only supports URL-Encoding.

If you're using form input beans, DO NOT use the @FormData attribute or {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest#getParameter(String)} method since this will cause the underlying JEE servlet to parse the HTTP body as a form post.
Your input bean will end up being null since there won't be any content left after the servlet has parsed the body of the request.
This applies to WHENEVER you use @Content or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getContent()}
If you want to be able to consume url-encoded form post bodies as POJOs in Spring Boot, you'll need to add the following Spring Bean to your configuration to prevent Spring Boot from automatically consuming the body itself:

@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class SpringBootAppConfig { @Bean public FilterRegistrationBean<HiddenHttpMethodFilter> registration(HiddenHttpMethodFilter filter) { FilterRegistrationBean<HiddenHttpMethodFilter> reg = new FilterRegistrationBean>>(filter); reg.setEnabled(false); return reg; } }

##### Multi-part Form Posts

The Juneau framework does not natively support multipart form posts. However, it can be done in conjunction with the Apache Commons File Upload library or through the Servlet 3.0 API directly.

The following is an example that uses the File Upload library to allow files to be uploaded as multipart form posts.

##### Example:

@Rest( path="/tempDir" ) public class TempDirResource extends DirectoryResource { @RestPost(path="/upload", matchers=TempDirResource.MultipartFormDataMatcher.class) public Redirect uploadFile(RestRequest req) throws Exception { ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(); FileItemIterator iter = upload.getItemIterator(req); while (iter.hasNext()) { FileItemStream item = iter.next(); if (item.getFieldName().equals("contents")) { File file = new File(getRootDir(), item.getName()); IOPipe.create(item.openStream(), new FileOutputStream(file)).closeOut().run(); } } return new Redirect(); // Redirect to the servlet root. } /** Causes a 404 if POST isn't multipart/form-data */ public static class MultipartFormDataMatcher extends RestMatcher { @Override /* RestMatcher */ public boolean matches(RestRequest req) { String contentType = req.getContentType(); return contentType != null && contentType.startsWith("multipart/form-data"); } }

The following shows using the HttpServletRequest.getParts() method to retrieve multi-part form posts when using Jetty. This example is pulled from the PetStore application.

@RestPost public SeeOtherRoot uploadFile(RestRequest req) throws Exception { // Required for Jetty. MultipartConfigElement mce = new MultipartConfigElement((String)null); req.setAttribute("org.eclipse.jetty.multipartConfig", mce); String id = UUID.randomUUID().toString(); BufferedImage img = null; for (Part part : req.getParts()) { switch (part.getName()) { case "id": id = IOUtils.read(part.getInputStream()); break; case "file": img = ImageIO.read(part.getInputStream()); } } addPhoto(id, img); return new SeeOtherRoot(); // Redirect to the servlet root. }

### 6.7 - Guards updated: 9.0.0

Guards control access to REST classes and methods. When guards are associated at the class-level, it's equivalent to associating guards on all Java methods on the servlet. If multiple guards are present, ALL guards must pass. (Note that this is different in behavior to {@doc jrs.Matchers Matchers} which require only one matcher to pass.)

Guards are associated with resource classes and methods via the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#guards() guards}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#guards() guards}

##### Example:

// Define a guard that only lets Billy make a request public BillyGuard extends RestGuard { @Override /* RestGuard */ public boolean isRequestAllowed(RestRequest req) { return req.getUserPrincipal().getName().equals("Billy"); } } // Servlet with class-level guard applied @Rest(guards=BillyGuard.class) public MyRestServlet extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { // Delete method that only Billy is allowed to call. @RestDelete public doDelete(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) throws Exception {...} }

A common use for guards is to only allow admin access to certain Java methods...

// DELETE method @RestDelete(guards={AdminGuard.class}) public void doDelete(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) throws Exception {...}

public class AdminGuard extends RestGuard { @Override /* RestGuard */ public boolean isRequestAllowed(RestRequest req) { return req.getUserPrincipal().isUserInRole("ADMIN"); } }

A guard failure results in an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response. However, this can be configured by overriding {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.guard.RestGuard#guard(RestRequest,RestResponse)} and processing the response yourself.

public class AdminGuard extends RestGuard { @Override /* RestGuard */ public boolean guard(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) throws BasicHttpException { if (! isOkay(req)) throw new Forbidden("Access denied!!!"); return true; } }

A simplified format is available for matching based on the user role on the request using the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#roleGuard() roleGuard}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#roleGuard() roleGuard}

##### Example:

@Rest( path="/foo", roleGuard="ROLE_ADMIN || (ROLE_READ_WRITE && ROLE_SPECIAL)" ) public class MyResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

### 6.8 - Converters updated: 9.0.0

Converters can be thought of as "post-processors" for response POJOs before they get passed to the serializer.

Converters are associated with resource classes and methods via the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#converters() converters}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#converters() converters}

##### Example:

// GET person request handler. // Traversable conversion enabled to allow nodes in returned POJO tree to be addressed. // Queryable conversion enabled to allow returned POJO to be searched/viewed/sorted. @RestGet( path="/people/{id}/*", converters={Traversable.class,Queryable.class} ) public Person getPerson(@Path("id") int id) { return findPerson(id); }

Juneau defines the following converters out-of-the-box:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.RestConverter}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable}
    Provides query parameters that can be used to transform the response (i.e. search/view/sort the POJO response before being serialized).
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Traversable}
    Allows nodes in the POJO response tree to be individually accessed through additional path info on the request.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Introspectable}
    Allows method calls to be made on the response POJO, and for the result of that method call to be serialized as the response.

### 6.9 - Localized Messages updated: 8.2.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#messages @Rest(messages)} annotation identifies the location of the resource bundle for a @Rest-annotated class if it's different from the class name.

By default, the resource bundle name is assumed to match the class name. For example, given the class MyClass.java, the resource bundle is assumed to be MyClass.properties. This property allows you to override this setting to specify a different location such as MyMessages.properties by specifying a value of "MyMessages".

Resource bundles are searched using the following base name patterns:

- "{package}.{name}"
- "{package}.i18n.{name}"
- "{package}.nls.{name}"
- "{package}.messages.{name}"

This annotation is used to provide request-localized (based on Accept-Language) messages for the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getMessage(String,Object...) getMessage(String,Object)}

Request-localized messages are also available by passing either of the following args into your Java method:

- {@link java.util.ResourceBundle} - Basic Java resource bundle.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.cp.Messages} - Extended resource bundle with several convenience methods.

The value can be a relative path like "nls/Messages", indicating to look for the resource bundle "com.foo.sample.nls.Messages" if the resource class is in "com.foo.sample", or it can be an absolute path like "com.foo.sample.nls.Messages"

##### Examples:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Contents of org/apache/foo/nls/MyMessages.properties #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HelloMessage = Hello {0}!

// Contents of org/apache/foo/MyResource.java @Rest(messages="nls/MyMessages") public class MyResource { @RestGet("/hello/{you}") public Object helloYou(RestRequest req, Messages messages, @Path("name") String you) { String msg; // Get it from the RestRequest object. msg = req.getMessage("HelloMessage", you); // Or get it from the method parameter. msg = messages.getString("HelloMessage", you); // Or get the message in a locale different from the request. msg = messages.forLocale(Locale.UK).getString("HelloMessage", you); return msg; } }

When using shared resource bundles, keys can be prefixed by class names like so and still retrieve by simple key names:

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Contents of shared org/apache/foo/nls/MyMessages.properties #-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MyResource.HelloMessage = Hello {0}!

Messages are automatically inherited from super classes. If a string cannot be found in the bundle of the current class, it will be searched for up the class hierarchy.

### 6.10 - Encoders updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#encoders @Rest(encoders)} annotation can be used to associate character encoders with a servlet class. Encoders can be used to enable various kinds of compression (e.g. "gzip") on requests and responses based on the request Accept-Encoding and Content-Encoding headers.

##### Example:

// Servlet with automated support for GZIP compression @Rest(encoders={GzipEncoder.class}) public MyRestServlet extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

Juneau defines the following encoders out-of-the-box:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.GzipEncoder}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.IdentityEncoder}

### 6.11 - Configuration Files updated: 9.0.0

The Server API provides methods for associating configuration files with REST servlets so that configuration properties can be defined in external files. It uses the following annotation:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#config() config}

##### Example:

@Rest( // Config file is located at ./config_dir/myconfig.cfg config="config_dir/myconfig.cfg", ... ) public class MyResource {...}

In recap, the Configuration API provides support for INI-style configuration files with embedded string variables:

##### Example:

#-------------------------- # Examples #-------------------------- [MyProperties] path = $E{PATH} javaHome = $S{java.home} customMessage = Java home is $C{MyProperties/javaHome} and the environment path is $C{MyProperties/path}.

These properties are then accessible through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config} class.

@RestGet("/") public String sample(Config config) { String path = config.get("MyProperties/path").get(); File javaHome = config.get("MyProperties/javaHome").as(File.class).orElse(null); String customMessage = config.get("MyProperties/customMessage").orElse("Hello"); ... }

The annotation itself can contain string variables. For example, the Microservice API {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} class defines the location of the config file as a system property "juneau.configFile":

@Rest( // Config file location is defined as a system property config="$S{juneau.configFile}", ... ) public class MyResource {...}

Spring Boot applications typically define an application.properties file. You can reuse it as a config file like so:

@Rest( config="application.properties", ... ) public class MyResource {...}

Note that properties files are a subset of functionality of INI files (they're basically just INI files with a single default section). It's therefore possible to use INI-style syntax such as sections in your application.properties file.

Once a config file has been associated with a REST resource, it can be accessed through one of the following: {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#getConfig()} method. It can also be access by passing in a {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config} bean to any of your REST OP methods.

A common usage is to use this method to initialize fields in your servlet.

@Rest( // Config file is located at ./config_dir/myconfig.cfg config="config_dir/myconfig.cfg", ... ) public class MyResource { private final String path; private final File javaHome; public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) { Config config = builder.getConfig(); path = config.get("MyProperties/path").orElse("mypath"); javaHome = config.get("MyProperties/javaHome").as(File.class).orElse(null); }

Another common usage is to refer to config properties through $C variables in your annotations:

@Rest // Get stylesheet from myconfig.cfg, but default to devops.css if it's not specified @HtmlDoc( stylesheet="$C{MyServlet/stylesheet,servlet:/styles/devops.css}", ) public class MyResource {...}

It's even possible to reference request-level variables in your config file if you use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getConfig()} to access the config file:

#------------------------------------- # Contents of config_dir/myconfig.cfg #------------------------------------- [HelloWorldResource] message = Hello $RQ{person}!

/** * Sample REST resource that prints out a simple "Hello world!" message. */ @Rest( config="config_dir/myconfig.cfg", ... ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { /** * GET request handler. * Specify the GET parameter "?person=X" for a specialized message! */ @RestGet("/") public String sayHello(Config config) { return config.get("HelloWorldResource/message").get(); } }

You can even add resource bundles into the mix:

#------------------------------------- # Contents of config_dir/myconfig.cfg #------------------------------------- [HelloWorldResource] message = $L{localizedMessage,$RQ{person}}

#------------------------------------------- # Contents of HelloWorldResource.properties #------------------------------------------- localizedMessage = Hello {0}!

/** * Sample REST resource that prints out a simple "Hello world!" message. */ @Rest( messages="HelloWorldResources", config="config_dir/myconfig.cfg", ... ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { /** * GET request handler. * Specify the GET parameter "?person=X" for a specialized message! */ @RestGet("/") public String sayHello(Config config) { return config.get("HelloWorldResource/message").get(); } }

- {@doc juneau-config}

### 6.12 - SVL Variables updated: 9.0.0

In the previous examples, there were several cases where embedded variables were contained within annotation values:

@Rest( title="$L{my.label}" )

Variables take the form $X{contents} where X can consist of zero or more ASCII characters and contents can be virtually anything. This is called Simple Variable Language, or SVL, and is defined here: {@doc jm.SimpleVariableLanguage Simple Variable Language}.

##### Features

- Variables can be nested arbitrarily deep (e.g. "$X{$Y{foo}}").
- Variables can contain arguments (e.g. "$L{my.label,arg1,arg2}").
- Variables are recursively resolved.
  i.e., if a variable results to a value with another variable in it, that variable will also be resolved (restricted for security reasons on variables that involve user input).

There are two distinct groups of variables:

- Initialization-time variables
  These are variables that can be used in many of the annotations in {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}.
  The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#getVarResolver()} method returns initialization-time variables only.
- Request-time variables
  These are variables that are available during HTTP-requests and can be used on annotation such as {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc @HtmlDoc}.
  {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getVarResolverSession()} method returns initialization and request-time variables.

The following is the default list of supported variables.

##### Default REST SVL Variables:

Module | Class | Pattern | Initialization time | Request time | Examples
--- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---
juneau-svl | {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar} | $E{key[,default]} | yes | yes | $E{PATH}
{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar} | $S{key[,default]} | yes | yes | $S{java.home}

{@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar} | $LC{arg} | yes | yes | $LC{$S{foo}}
juneau-config | {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar} | $C{key[,default]} | yes | yes | $C{REST/staticFiles}
juneau-rest-server | {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar} | $F{path[,default]}} | yes | yes | $F{resources/MyAsideMessage.html, Oops not found!}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.ServletInitParamVar} | $I{name[,default]} | yes | yes | $I{my.param}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.LocalizationVar} | $L{key[,args...]} | no | yes | $L{MyMessage,foo,bar}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestAttributeVar} | $RA{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $RA{attrName}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestFormDataVar} | $RF{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $RF{paramName}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestHeaderVar} | $RH{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $RH{Header-Name}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestPathVar} | $RP{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $RP{pathVAr}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestQueryVar} | $RQ{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $RQ{paramName}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestSwaggerVar} | $RS{key} | no | yes | $RS{title}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.RequestVar} | $R{key1[,key2...]} | no | yes | $R{contextPath}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.SerializedRequestAttrVar} | $SA{contentType,key[,default]} | no | yes | $SA{application/json,$RA{foo}}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.UrlVar} | $U{uri}> | no | yes | $U{servlet:/foo}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.UrlEncodeVar} | $UE{uriPart} | yes | yes | $U{servlet:/foo?bar=$UE{$RA{bar}}
{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget} | $W{name} | no | yes | $W{MenuItemWidget}

Custom variables can be defined on resources via the following API:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createVarResolver(BeanStore,Class) createVarResolver(BeanStore,Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#varResolver() varResolver()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#varResolver(Consumer) varResolver(Consumer)}

##### Example:

// Defined a variable that simply wrapps all strings inside [] brackets. // e.g. "$BRACKET{foobar}" -> "[foobar]" public class BracketVar extends SimpleVar { public BracketVar() { super("BRACKET"); } @Override /* Var */ public String resolve(VarResolverSession session, String arg) { return '[' + arg + ']'; } } // Register it with our resource. @Rest(...) public class MyResource { public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) { builder.varResolver().vars(BracketVar.class); } }

The methods involved with variables are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#getVarResolver() getVarResolver()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getVarResolverSession() getVarResolverSession()}

### 6.13 - Static files updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject} classes come with built-in support for serving up static files through the following REST operation:

@RestGet(path="/htdocs/*") public HttpResource getHtdoc(@Path("/*") String path, Locale locale) throws NotFound { return getContext().getStaticFiles().resolve(path, locale).orElseThrow(NotFound::new); }

The static file finder can be accessed through the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#getStaticFiles() getStaticFiles()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getStaticFiles() getStaticFiles()}

By default, the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.staticfile.StaticFiles} bean is configured as follows:

StaticFiles .create() .beanStore(beanStore) // Allow injected beans in constructor. .type(BasicStaticFiles.class) // Default implementation class. .dir("static") // Look in working /static directory. .dir("htdocs") // Look in working /htdocs directory. .cp(resourceClass, "htdocs", true) // Look in htdocs subpackage. .cp(resourceClass, "/htdocs", true) // Look in htdocs package. .caching(1_000_000) // Cache files in memory up to 1MB. .exclude("(?i).*\\.(class|properties)") // Ignore class/properties files. .headers(cacheControl("max-age=86400, public")); // Add cache control.

Static files can be configured programmatically through the following APIs:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createStaticFiles(BeanStore,Supplier) createStaticFiles(BeanStore,Supplier)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#staticFiles() staticFiles()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#staticFiles(Consumer) staticFiles(Consumer)}

### 6.14 - Client Versioning updated: 9.0.0

Client version headers are used to support backwards compatibility for breaking REST interface changes. Using them, you're able to return different responses based on which client is making a request.

The APIs involved with defining client version headers are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#clientVersionHeader() clientVersionHeader}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#clientVersion() clientVersion}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#clientVersionHeader(String) clientVersionHeader(String)}

##### Example:

// Option #1 - Defined via annotation resolving to a config file setting with default value. @Rest(clientVersionHeader="Client-Version") public class MyResource { // Call this method if Client-Version is at least 2.0. // Note that this also matches 2.0.1. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="2.0") public Object method1() { ... } // Call this method if Client-Version is at least 1.1, but less than 2.0. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="[1.1,2.0)") public Object method2() { ... } // Call this method if Client-Version is less than 1.1. @RestGet(path="/foobar", clientVersion="[0,1.1)") public Object method3() { ... }

### 6.15 - Swagger

One of the most useful features of Juneau is the ability to generate Swagger-based OPTIONS pages for self-documenting designs (i.e. REST interfaces that document themselves).

As described previously, the PetStore example provides an example of auto-generated Swagger JSON:

Using {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI}, we're able to render that JSON as a Swagger user interface:

##### 6.15.1 - BasicRestServlet/BasicRestObject updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

Any subclass of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject} gets an auto-generated Swagger UI when performing an OPTIONS request with Accept:text/html due to the following method:

@RestGet( path="/api/*", summary="Swagger documentation", description="Swagger documentation for this resource." ) @HtmlDocConfig( // Should override config annotations defined on class. rank=10, // Override the nav links for the swagger page. navlinks={ "back: servlet:/", "json: servlet:/?Accept=text/json&plainText=true" }, // Never show aside contents of page inherited from class. aside="NONE" ) @BeanConfig( // POJO swaps to apply to all serializers/parsers on this method. swaps={ // Use the SwaggerUI swap when rendering Swagger beans. // This is a per-media-type swap that only applies to text/html requests. SwaggerUI.class } ) @Override /* BasicRestOperations */ public Swagger getSwagger(RestRequest req) { return req.getSwagger().orElseThrow(NotFound::new); }

The underlying mechanics are simple. The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet#getSwagger(RestRequest)} method returns a {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} bean consisting of information gathered from annotations and other sources. Then that bean is swapped for a {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI} bean when rendered as HTML.

Note that to have your resource create Swagger UI, you must either extend from one of the basic resource classes or provide your own @RestOp-annotated method that returns a {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.Swagger} object and a {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.ui.SwaggerUI} swap.

##### 6.15.2 - Basic Swagger Info updated: 9.0.0

Let's look at the various parts of the Petstore application Swagger UI to see how they are defined.

The top part of the page shows general information about the REST interface:

The information is pulled from the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#swagger() @Rest(swagger)} annotation.

##### org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.petstore.PetStoreResource

@Rest( path="/petstore", title="Petstore application", ... swagger=@Swagger("$F{PetStoreResource.json}"), ... ) public class PetStoreResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

In this particular case, the Swagger is pulled in from a localized Swagger JSON file located in the org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.petstore package using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar $F} variable.

##### PetStoreResource.json

{ "swagger": "2.0", "info": { "version": "1.0.0", "title": "Swagger Petstore", "termsOfService": "You are on your own.", "contact": { "name": "Juneau Development Team", "email": "dev@juneau.apache.org", "url": "http://juneau.apache.org" }, "license": { "name": "Apache 2.0", "url": "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" } }, "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more about Juneau", "url": "http://juneau.apache.org" }, ... }

Note that the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar $F} variable allows for request-locale-sensitive name matching so that you can provide localized Swagger information.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar $F} variable simply expands to a string to fill the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Swagger#value() @Swagger(value)} annotation. You could equivalently embed JSON directly into your annotation like so:

@Rest( path="/petstore", title="Petstore application", ... swagger=@Swagger( // Raw Simplified JSON. // Values are concatenated. "{", "swagger: '2.0',", "version: '1.0.0',", ... "}" ), ... ) public class PetStoreResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

However, a more typical (and less error-prone) scenario is to define all of your Swagger as annotations:

@Rest( path="/petstore", title="Petstore application", ... swagger=@Swagger( version="1.0.0", title="Swagger Petstore", termsOfService="You are on your own.", contact=@Contact( name="Juneau Development Team", email="dev@juneau.apache.org", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ), license=@License( name="Apache 2.0", url="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" ), externalDocs=@ExternalDocs( description="Find out more about Juneau", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ) ), ... ) public class PetStoreResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

All annotations support {@doc jrs.SvlVariables SVL variables}, so you could for example pull localized strings from resource bundles using {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.LocalizationVar $L} variables.

@Rest( path="/petstore", title="Petstore application", messages="nls/MyMessages", ... swagger=@Swagger( version="1.0.0", title="$L{myTitle}", termsOfService="$L{myTermsOfService}", contact=@Contact( name="$L{myTeam}", email="dev@juneau.apache.org", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ), license=@License( name="Apache 2.0", url="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html" ), externalDocs=@ExternalDocs( description="$L{myExternalDocsDescription}", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ) ), ... ) public class PetStoreResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

A third option is to define your Swagger information in your {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#messages @Rest(messages)} resource bundle using predefined Swagger keywords:

PetStoreResource.version = 1.0.0 PetStoreResource.title = Swagger Petstore PetStoreResource.termsOfService = You are on your own. PetStoreResource.contact = {name:'Juneau Development Team', email:'dev@juneau.apache.org',...} PetStoreResource.license = {name:'Apache 2.0',...} PetStoreResource.externalDocs = {description:'Find out more about Juneau',...}

Information defined in multiple locations are merged into a single set of data. When the same information is provided in multiple locations, the following order-of-precedence is used:

1. Java annotations
2. Resource bundle
3. Swagger JSON file

##### 6.15.3 - Tags

Tags allow you to group operations into general categories. In the user interface, these can be expanded/collapsed by clicking on the tag sections. In the example below, the pet and store tag sections are collapsed and the user section is not:

Tags are also defined in the @Swagger annotation

##### PetStoreResource.json

"tags": [ { "name": "pet", "description": "Everything about your Pets", "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more", "url": "http://juneau.apache.org" } }, { "name": "store", "description": "Access to Petstore orders" }, { "name": "user", "description": "Operations about user", "externalDocs": { "description": "Find out more about our store", "url": "http://juneau.apache.org" } } ],

The annotation-only approach is shown here:

##### org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.petstore.PetStoreResource

swagger=@Swagger( ... tags={ @Tag( name="pet", description="Everything about your Pets", externalDocs=@ExternalDocs( description="Find out more", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ) ), @Tag( name="store", description="Access to Petstore orders" ), @Tag( name="user", description="Operations about user", externalDocs=@ExternalDocs( description="Find out more about our store", url="http://juneau.apache.org" ) ) } ),

Tags are associated with operations using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.OpSwagger#tags() @OpSwagger(tags)} annotation:

##### GET /user operation

@RestGet( path="/user", summary="Petstore users", swagger=@OpSwagger( tags="user" ) ) public Collection<User> getUsers() throws NotAcceptable {...}

Operations can be mapped to multiple tags.

Tags are optional. Operations not mapped to tags are listed in the UI before tagged operations.

For example, the getTopPage() method in PetStoreResource is not tagged, as well as the getOptions() method inherited from BaseRestServlet, so these show up at the top of the page:

##### 6.15.4 - Operations

@RestOp-annotated methods automatically get rendered as Swagger operations:

The following shows the annotations defined on the GET /pet operation:

##### PetStoreResource.getPets()

@RestGet( path="/pet", summary="All pets in the store", swagger=@OpSwagger( tags="pet", ... ), ... ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() throws NotAcceptable { return store.getPets(); }

Methods marked as deprecated will show up as deprecated in the Swagger UI:

##### PetStoreResource.findPetsByTag()

@RestGet( path="/pet/findByTags", summary="Finds Pets by tags", ... ) @Deprecated public Collection<Pet> findPetsByTags(...) { ... }

##### 6.15.5 - Parameters updated: 9.0.0

Expanding operations shows you a list of parameters:

Parameter information can be defined in a couple of ways. The typical way is through annotations on parameters being passed to your @RestOp-annotated method, like so:

@RestGet public Collection<Pet> getPets( @Query( name="s", schema=@Schema( description={ "Search.", "Key/value pairs representing column names and search tokens.", "'*' and '?' can be used as meta-characters in string fields.", "'>', '>=', '<', and '<=' can be used as limits on numeric and date fields.", "Date fields can be matched with partial dates (e.g. '2018' to match any date in the year 2018)." }, type="array", collectionFormat="csv" ) ) String[] s, @Query( name="v", schema=@Schema( description={ "View.", "Column names to display." }, type="array", collectionFormat="csv" ) ) String[] v, ... ) throws NotAcceptable { ... }

- The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema @Schema} annotation can also be attached directly to the parameter or parameter type as well.
- The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema#type() type} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Schema#collectionFormat() collectionFormat} values above are optional and auto-detected based on the parameter class type if omitted. They're included here for clarity. The examples will be explained in the next section.

Another option is to specify your parameter information in the parameters annotation as free-form Simple JSON. In the case of the PetStoreResource.getPets() method, we pull this information from a static field defined in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} class:

##### PetStoreResource.getPets()

@RestGet( path="/pet", summary="All pets in the store", swagger=@OpSwagger( tags="pet", parameters={ Queryable.SWAGGER_PARAMS } ), ... converters={Queryable.class} ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() throws NotAcceptable { return store.getPets(); }

##### Queryable

public class Queryable implements RestConverter { public static final String SWAGGER_PARAMS="" + "{" + "in:'query'," + "name:'s'," + "description:'" + "Search.\n" + "Key/value pairs representing column names and search tokens.\n" + "\\'*\\' and \\'?\\' can be used as meta-characters in string fields.\n" + "\\'>\\', \\'>=\\', \\'<\\', and \\'<=\\' can be used as limits on numeric and date fields.\n" + "Date fields can be matched with partial dates (e.g. \\'2018\\' to match any date in the year 2018)." + "'," + "type:'array'," + "collectionFormat:'csv'," + "x-examples:{example:'?s=Bill*,birthDate>2000'}" + "}," + "{" + "in:'query'," + "name:'v'," + "description:'" + "View.\n" + "Column names to display." + "'," + "type:'array'," + "collectionFormat:'csv'," + "x-examples:{example:'?v=name,birthDate'}" + "}," ... ; }

This information could have also been defined in the Swagger JSON for the resource as well.

The parameter section contains information about the request body as well for PUT and POST methods, as shown here:

The definition of this method is shown here:

@RestPost( summary="Add a new pet to the store", swagger=@OpSwagger( tags="pet" ) ) public Ok postPet( @Content @Schema(description="Pet object to add to the store") PetCreate pet ) throws IdConflict, NotAcceptable, UnsupportedMediaType { store.create(pet); return OK; }

Note that the schema information on the body parameter is automatically detected if not provided.

##### 6.15.6 - Responses

Under the input parameters are listed the possible responses for the resource:

The 200 response is determined by the return type on the method, in this case a collection of Pet objects:

@RestGet( path="/pet", summary="All pets in the store", ... ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() throws NotAcceptable { return store.getPets(); }

Note that additional responses can be specified by throwing exceptions annotated with the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response @Response} annotation such as this one:

@Response @StatusCode(406) @Schema(description="Not Acceptable") public class NotAcceptable extends BasicHttpException {...}

Like input parameters, the Swagger for responses can be define in multiple locations such as:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response @Response} annotated classes, methods, and parameters.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#swagger() @Rest(swagger)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#swagger() @RestOp(swagger)} annotations.

- {@doc jrs.ResponseBeans}

##### 6.15.7 - Models updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.JsonSchemaGenerator.Builder#useBeanDefs()} setting can be used to reduce the size of your generated Swagger JSON files by creating model definitions for beans and referencing those definitions through $ref attributes.

This setting is disabled by default, but can be set on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder} object:

@HookEvent(INIT) public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) { builder.jsonSchemaGenerator().useBeanDefs(); }

In the Swagger UI, this causes bean definitions to show up in the Models section at the bottom of the page:

##### Models section

##### Models section with Order bean expanded

In the generated Swagger JSON, embedded schema information for beans will be replaced with references such as the one shown below for the Order bean:

{ "swagger": "2.0", "paths": { "/store/order": { "get": { "operationId": "getOrders", "summary": "Petstore orders", "responses": { "200": { "description": "OK", "schema": { "description": "java.util.Collection<org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.petstore.Order>", "type": "array", "items": { "$ref": "#/definitions/Order" } }, ... ... ... ... ... }, "definitions": { "Order": { "type": "object", "properties": { "id": { "type": "integer", "format": "int64" }, "petId": { "type": "integer", "format": "int64" }, "shipDate": { "type": "string" }, "status": { "type": "string", "enum": [ "PLACED", "APPROVED", "DELIVERED" ] } }, "description": "org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.petstore.Order", "example": { "id": 123, "petId": 456, "shipDate": "2012-12-21", "status": "APPROVED" } }, ... }

Note that this does not affect how the information is rendered for that bean in the Swagger UI:

##### 6.15.8 - SwaggerUI.css

The look-and-feel of the Swagger UI is controlled via a single CSS file: SwaggerUI.css.

In the microservice template, this file is located in the files/htdocs/styles directory. It's a simple straightforward file consisting of less than 350 lines. This file can be modified to change the look-and-feel of your Swagger UI.

### 6.16 - REST method execution statistics created: 8.1.3, updated: 9.0.0

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}-annotated classes get automated timing and error statistic information for all @RestOp and @RestHook annotated methods on the class.

If you extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestObject}, then the statics are made available through the REST interface via the following method:

@RestGet( path="/stats", summary="Timing statistics", description="Timing statistics for method invocations on this resource." ) @Override /* BasicRestOperations */ public RestContextStats getStats(RestRequest req) { return req.getContext().getStats(); }

Rendered in a browser, it looks like this:

The default REST configuration provides a link to the stats in the navlinks section of the page:

The exception hash shown is the same hash that is shown in the log file and provides a quick way of locating the exception in the logs.

Programmatic access to the statistics are provided via the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#getStats() getStats()}

### 6.17 - @HtmlDocConfig updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig @HtmlDocConfig} annotation is used to customize the HTML view of POJOs serialized by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#aside() aside}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#asideFloat() asideFloat}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#footer() footer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#head() head}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#header() header}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#nav() nav}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#navlinks() navlinks}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#noResultsMessage() noResultsMessage}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#nowrap() nowrap}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#rank() rank}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#script() script}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#style() style}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#stylesheet() stylesheet}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#template() template}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#widgets() widgets}

It's used in the following locations:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated classes.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp}-annotated methods.

For example, the following shows setting the title on a page:

@Rest @HtmlDocConfig( title="My Resource Page" )

The purpose of this annotation is to populate the HTML document view which by default consists of the following structure:

<html> <head> <style type='text/css'> CSS styles and links to stylesheets </style> </head> <body> <header> Page header </header> <nav> Navigation links </nav> <aside> Side-bar text </aside> <article> Contents of serialized object </article> <footer> Footer message </footer> </body> </html>

The outline above is controlled by the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate} interface which can be overridden via the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#template() @HtmlDocConfig(template)} annotation.

The HelloWorldResource class was an example of the @HtmlDocConfig annotation in use:

/** * Sample REST resource that prints out a simple "Hello world!" message. */ @Rest( path="/helloWorld" ) @HtmlDocConfig( navlinks={ "up: request:/..", "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" }, aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This page shows a resource that simply response with a 'Hello world!' message</p>", " <p>The POJO serialized is a simple String.</p>", "</div>" } ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

SVL variables can be used in any of these annotations:

@Rest( path="/helloWorld", // Register a config file. config="MyConfig.cfg" ) @HtmlDocConfig( navlinks={ "up: request:/..", "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS", // Add a nav link to view the source code for this class. "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/$R{servletClassSimple}.java" }, aside={ // Localize our messages. "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>$L{localizedMessage1}</p>", " <p>$L{localizedMessage2}</p>", "</div>" } ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

##### 6.17.1 - User Interfaces (UI) vs. Developer Interfaces (DI)

An important distinction needs to be made about the HTML representations produced by the REST API. These should not be considered User Interfaces, but rather Developer Interfaces.

UIs should hide the end-user from the underlying architecture. The audience generally consists of non-technical people not interested in how the UI works.

DIs, on the other hand, should NOT hide the end-user from the underlying architecture. Instead, it's a thin veneer over the REST interface with the following goals:

- Make it easy for the developer to explore and understand the REST API.
- Make it easy for the developer to debug the REST API using simple tools (hopefully just a browser).

As a result, the following guidelines are recommended:

- Use titles/descriptions/asides to describe why the REST interface exists. A developer knowing little about it should be able to access it with a browser and quickly understand what it is and how to use it.
- Don't hide the raw data! The HTML view should simply be considered an easier-to-read representation of the data normally rendered in JSON or some other format.
- Limit your use of Javascript! You can use it sparingly if you want to implement something simple like a pull-down menu to simplify some debug task, but remember that your audience cares more about interacting with your service programmatically using REST. Remember that the HTML is just icing on the cake.
- Don't use it to implement a Web 2.0 interface! If you want a Web 2.0 UI, implement it separately ON TOP OF this REST interface. The architecture is flexible enough that you could in theory pull in and use jQuery, React, Angular, or any number of sophisticated Javascript UI frameworks. Resist the urge to do so.

##### 6.17.2 - Widgets updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget} class allows you to add arbitrary HTML, CSS, and Javascript to HTML pages.
They are registered in the following location:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#widgets() widgets}

##### Example:

@RestGet(...) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ MyWidget.class }, navlinks={ "$W{MyWidget}" }, aside={ "Check out this widget: $W{MyWidget}" } )

The Widget class is composed of the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse) getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getStyle(RestRequest,RestResponse) getStyle(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse) getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse)}

The HTML content returned by the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse) getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse)} method is added wherever the "$W{...}" variable is used.

The CSS returned by {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse) getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse)} is added to the style section in the page header.

The Javascript returned by {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse) getScript(RestRequest,RestResponse)} is added to the script section in the page header.

The following examples shows how to associate a widget with a REST method and then have it rendered in the links and aside section of the page. It shows an example of a widget that renders an image located in the htdocs static files directory in your classpath (see {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#staticFiles() @Rest(staticFiles)}):

public class MyWidget extends Widget { @Override /* Widget */ public String getHtml(RestRequest req) throws Exception { UriResolver resolver = req.getUriResolver(); // API used for resolving URIs. return "<img class='myimage' onclick='myalert(this)' src='"+resolver.resolve("servlet:/htdocs/myimage.png")+"'>"; } @Override /* Widget */ public String getScript(RestRequest req) throws Exception { return "" + "\n function myalert(imageElement) {" + "\n alert('cool!');" + "\n }"; } @Override /* Widget */ public String getStyle(RestRequest req) throws Exception { return "" + "\n .myimage {" + "\n border: 10px solid red;" + "\n }"; } }

##### 6.17.3 - Predefined Widgets updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget} package contains predefined reusable widgets.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ContentTypeMenuItem}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.QueryMenuItem}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ThemeMenuItem}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.PoweredByJuneau}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Tooltip}

##### MenuItemWidget

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget} is an abstract class for rendering menu items with drop-downs. It defines some simple CSS and Javascript for enabling drop-down menus in the nav section of the page (although nothing keeps you from using it in an arbitrary location in the page).

The script specifies a menuClick(element) function that toggles the visibility of the next sibling of the element.

Subclasses implement the following two methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget#getLabel(RestRequest,RestResponse) getLabel(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget#getContent(RestRequest,RestResponse) getContent(RestRequest,RestResponse)}

For example, to render a link that brings up a simple dialog in a div tag:

@Override public String getLabel() { return "my-menu-item"; }; @Override public Div getContent() { return Html5Builder.div("Surprise!").style("color:red"); };

The HTML content returned by the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget#getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse) getHtml(RestRequest,RestResponse)} method is added where the "$W{...}" is referenced in the page.

##### ContentTypeMenuItem

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ContentTypeMenuItem} is a predefined Widget that returns back a list of hyperlinks for rendering the contents of a page in a variety of content types.

The variable it resolves is "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}".

An example of this widget can be found in the PetStoreResource in the examples that provides a drop-down menu item for rendering all other supported content types in plain text:

@RestGet(path="/") @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class, }, navlinks={ "up: ...", "options: ...", "$W{QueryMenuItem}", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{ThemeMenuItem}", "source: ..." } ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() {

It renders the following popup-box:

##### QueryMenuItem

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.QueryMenuItem} is a predefined Widget that returns a menu-item drop-down form for entering search/view/sort arguments.

The variable it resolves is "$W{QueryMenuItem}".

This widget is designed to be used in conjunction with the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} converter, although implementations can process the query parameters themselves if they wish to do so by using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.httppart.RequestQueryParams#getSearchArgs()} method to retrieve the arguments and process the data themselves.

An example of this widget can be found in the PetStoreResource in the examples that provides search/view/sort capabilities against the collection of POJOs:

@RestGet( path="/", converters=Queryable.class ) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ QueryMenuItem.class, }, navlinks={ "up: ...", "options: ...", "$W{QueryMenuItem}", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{ThemeMenuItem}", "source: ..." } ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() {

It renders the following popup-box:

Tooltips are provided by hovering over the field names.

When submitted, the form submits a GET request against the current URI with special GET search API query parameters. (e.g. "?s=column1=Foo*&v=column1,column2&o=column1,column2-&p=100&l=100"). The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.converter.Queryable} class knows how to perform these filters against collections of POJOs.

##### ThemeMenuItem

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ThemeMenuItem} is a predefined Widget that returns back a list of hyperlinks for rendering the contents of a page in the various default styles.

The variable it resolves is "$W{ThemeMenuItem}".

An example of this widget can be found in the PetStoreResource in the examples that provides a drop-down menu item for rendering all other supported content types in plain text:

@RestGet(path="/") @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ThemeMenuItem.class, }, navlinks={ "up: ...", "options: ...", "$W{QueryMenuItem}", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{ThemeMenuItem}", "source: ..." } ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() {

##### PoweredByJuneau

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.PoweredByJuneau} is a predefined Widget that places a powered-by-Juneau message on a page.

The variable it resolves is "$W{PoweredByJuneau}".

It produces a simple Apache Juneau icon floating on the right. Typically it's used in the footer of the page, as shown below in the AddressBookResource from the examples:

@Rest(path="/addressBook") @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ PoweredByJuneau.class }, footer="$W{PoweredByJuneau}" )

It renders the following image:

##### Tooltip

{@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Tooltip} is a predefined template for adding tooltips to HTML5 bean constructs, typically in menu item widgets.

The following examples shows how tooltips can be added to a menu item widget.

public class MyFormMenuItem extends MenuItemWidget { @Override public String getLabel(RestRequest req) throws Exception { return "myform"; } @Override public Object getContent(RestRequest req) throws Exception { return div( form().id("form").action("servlet:/form").method(POST).children( table( tr( th("Field 1:"), td(input().name("field1").type("text")), td(new Tooltip("(?)", "This is field #1!", br(), "(e.g. '", code("Foo"), "')")) ), tr( th("Field 2:"), td(input().name("field2").type("text")), td(new Tooltip("(?)", "This is field #2!", br(), "(e.g. '", code("Bar"), "')")) ) ) ) ); } }

##### 6.17.4 - UI Customization updated: 9.0.0

The HTML views of POJOs can somewhat be considered a rudimentary User Interface. In reality, a better term for them would be a Developer Interface as they're meant to be used primarily by developers and not end users. Despite that distinction, it is possible to 'brand' the HTML page to whatever you desire.

The sample root page below includes some default branding for Juneau and Apache:

http://localhost:10000/helloWorld

The Juneau REST framework does not provide specific branding support (i.e. there is no concept of a brand icon). Instead, it just uses the existing open-ended API for defining branding via annotations on your REST classes.

@Rest( // Optional external configuration file. config="$S{juneau.configFile}", ) @HtmlDocConfig( // Default stylesheet to use for the page. // Can be overridden from external config file. // Default is DevOps look-and-feel (aka Depression look-and-feel). stylesheet="$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}", // Default page header contents. header={ "<h1>$RS{title}</h1>", // Use @Rest(title) "<h2>$RS{operationSummary,description}</h2>", // Use either @RestOp(summary) or @Rest(description) "$C{REST/header}" // Extra header HTML defined in external config file. }, // Default contents to add to the <head> section of the HTML page. // Use it to add a favicon link to the page. head={ "<link rel='icon' href='$U{$C{REST/favicon}}'/>" }, // Basic page navigation links. navlinks={ "up: request:/.." }, // No default page footer contents. // Can be overridden from external config file. footer="$C{REST/footer}" ) public interface BasicUniversalConfig {}

@Rest(...) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class, ThemeMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "options: ?method=OPTIONS", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{ThemeMenuItem}", "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/$R{servletClassSimple}.java" }, aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This is an example of a 'router' page that serves as a jumping-off point to child resources.</p>", " <p>Resources can be nested arbitrarily deep through router pages.</p>", " <p>Note the <span class='link'>options</span> link provided that lets you see the generated swagger doc for this page.</p>", " <p>Also note the <span class='link'>sources</span> link on these pages to view the source code for the page.</p>", " <p>All content on pages in the UI are serialized POJOs. In this case, it's a serialized array of beans with 2 properties, 'name' and 'description'.</p>", " <p>Other features (such as this aside) are added through annotations.</p>", "</div>" }, asideFloat="RIGHT" ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalJenaConfig {...}

The default annotation values use {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar $C} variables to pull in values from an optional external configuration file such as the one shown below:

#======================================================================================================================= # REST settings #======================================================================================================================= [REST] staticFiles = htdocs:files/htdocs # Stylesheet to use for HTML views. theme = servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css headerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/juneau.png headerLink = http://juneau.apache.org footerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/asf.png footerLink = http://www.apache.org favicon = $C{REST/headerIcon} header = <a href='$U{$C{REST/headerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/headerIcon}}' style='position:absolute;top:5;right:5;background-color:transparent;height:30px'/> </a> footer = <a href='$U{$C{REST/footerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/footerIcon}}' style='float:right;padding-right:20px;height:32px'/> </a>

The take-away here is that the "User Interface" is open-ended, lets you define pretty much anything you want through arbitrary HTML, and allows you either hardcode your interface inside annotations or pull them in via string variables from other places such as external config files.

##### 6.17.5 - Stylesheets updated: 8.1.0,9.0.0

The sample root page renders in the default "devops" look-and-feel:

http://localhost:10000

The sample root page provides a dropdown widget to try out the other default look-and-feels:

For example, the "light" look-and-feel:

http://localhost:10000/?stylesheet=styles%2Flight.css

And the "dark" look-and-feel:

http://localhost:10000/?stylesheet=styles%2Fdark.css

The stylesheet URL is controlled by the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#stylesheet() @HtmlDocConfig(stylesheet)} annotation. The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config.BasicUniversalConfig} interface defines the stylesheet served up as a static file:

@HtmlDocConfig( stylesheet="$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}" ) public interface BasicUniversalConfig {...}

The "$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}" variable says to use the URI defined in your servlet's config file, if there is one, and to default to serving up the file htdocs/themes/devops.css which is in the resource folder of the juneau-rest-server module.

To provide your own stylesheet, simply override the stylesheet attribute and point to a different file:

@HtmlDocConfig( stylesheet="servlet:/htdocs/themes/my-style.css" ) public class MyResourceBaseClass extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

You can try out different stylesheets by passing in a stylesheet attribute in the request URL. The example above show this in use.

In case you're curious about how the menu item works, it's defined via a widget:

@Rest(...) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ PoweredByApache.class, ContentTypeMenuItem.class, StyleMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "options: ?method=OPTIONS", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{StyleMenuItem}", "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/$R{servletClassSimple}.java" } ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig {...}

The StyleMenuItem is a widget that extends from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget}, a specialized widget for creating pop-up menus. In the case of StyleMenuItem, it's simply returning a list of links wrapped in a div tag:

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; public class StyleMenuItem extends MenuItemWidget { private static final String[] BUILT_IN_STYLES = {"devops", "light", "original", "dark"}; @Override /* Widget */ public String getLabel(RestRequest req) { return "styles"; } @Override /* MenuItemWidget */ public Div getContent(RestRequest req) throws Exception { Div div = div(); for (String style : BUILT_IN_STYLES) { java.net.URI uri = req.getUri(true, new AMap<String,String>().append("stylesheet", "styles/"+s+".css")); div.children(a(uri, style), br()); } return div; } }

### 6.18 - Logging / Debugging created: 9.0.0

The REST APIs provides supports enabling logging of HTTP requests and responses through the following annotations:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#debug() debug}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#debugOn() debugOn}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#debug() debug}

Debug mode enables the following:

- HTTP request/response bodies are cached in memory for logging purposes.
- HTTP requests/responses are logged to the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLogger}.

The possible annotation values are:

- "true" - Debug is enabled for all requests.
- "false" - Debug is disabled for all requests.
- "conditional" - Debug is enabled only for requests that have a Debug: true header.

##### Example

// Enable debugging on all op calls on this resource @Rest(debug="true") public class MyResource {...}

These annotations support SVL variables, so it's possible to define them as a system property for example.

// Enable via system property 'MyResource.debug' @Rest(debug="$S{MyResource.debug}") public class MyResource {...}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#debugOn() @Rest(debugOn)} annotation can also be used to enable debugging. It takes a comma-delimited list of key-value pairs, the keys being class or method names, and the values being one of true|false|conditional.

// Turn on debug per-request on the class and always on the doX() method @Rest(debugOn="MyResource=conditional,MyResource.doX=true") public class MyResource {...}

The primary advantage of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#debugOn() @Rest(debugOn)} is that you can control debugging externally such as through a system property or environment variable:

// Turn on debug per-request on the class and always on the doX() method @Rest(debugOn="$E{DEBUG}") public class MyResource {...}

Debugging can also be enabled programmatically with the use of the following APIs:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.debug.DebugEnablement}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.debug.BasicDebugEnablement}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createDebugEnablement(BeanStore,Supplier) createDebugEnablement(BeanStore,Supplier)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debugEnablement() debugEnablement()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debugEnablement(Consumer) debugEnablement(Consumer)}

HTTP calls can be logged with the following levels of granularity:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLoggingDetail}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLoggingDetail#STATUS_LINE STATUS_LINE}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLoggingDetail#HEADER HEADER}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLoggingDetail#ENTITY ENTITY}

The following examples show the output format for each detail type:

##### STATUS_LINE

WARNING: [500] HTTP POST /foo?foo=bar

##### HEADER

WARNING: === HTTP Call (incoming) =================================================== [500] HTTP POST /foo?foo=bar Request length: 3 bytes Response code: 500 Response length: 3 bytes Exec time: 20ms ---Request Headers--- Foo: bar ---Response Headers--- Foo: bar Content-Type: text/plain === END ===================================================================

##### ENTITY

WARNING: === HTTP Call (incoming) =================================================== [500] HTTP POST /foo?foo=bar Request length: 3 bytes Response code: 500 Response length: 3 bytes Exec time: 20ms ---Request Headers--- Foo: bar ---Response Headers--- Foo: bar Content-Type: text/plain ---Request Content UTF-8--- Foo ---Request Content Hex--- 46 6F 6F ---Response Content UTF-8--- Foo ---Response Content Hex--- 46 6F 6F === END ===================================================================

The interface responsible for generating the log entries is {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLogger} and the default is {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.BasicRestLogger} which produces the output above. It can be changed through any of the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#callLogger() callLogger()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createCallLogger(BeanStore,Supplier) createCallLogger(BeanStore,Supplier)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#callLogger() callLogger()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#callLogger(Consumer) callLogger(Consumer)}

The call logger uses logging rules to map requests to logging detail levels. By default, these are the logging rules:

RestLogger .create() .beanStore(beanStore) // Allow injected beans in constructor .normalRules( // Rules when debugging is not enabled RestLoggerRule.create() // Log 500+ errors with status-line and header information .statusFilter(x -> x >= 500) .level(SEVERE) .requestDetail(HEADER) .responseDetail(HEADER) .build(), RestLoggerRule.create() // Log 400-500 errors with just status-line information .statusFilter(x -> x >= 400) .level(WARNING) .requestDetail(STATUS_LINE) .responseDetail(STATUS_LINE) .build() ) .debugRules( // Rules when debugging is enabled RestLoggerRule.create() // Log everything with full details .level(SEVERE) .requestDetail(ENTITY) .responseDetail(ENTITY) .build() );

Thrown exceptions get logged with a stack trace hash and a counter like below:

WARNING: [500,9b85cc96.13] HTTP POST /foo?foo=bar

Stack trace hashes are controlled by the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.stats.ThrownStore} bean which is configured via the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#createThrownStore(BeanStore,Supplier,RestContext) createThrownStore(BeanStore,Supplier)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#thrownStore() thrownStore()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#thrownStore(Consumer) thrownStore(Consumer)}

- The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.BasicTestRestLogger} class is useful for testing and allows you to suppress logging when testing error conditions by passing in a noTrace=true query parameter or No-Trace: true header on requests.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.debug.DebugEnablement}, {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.logging.RestLogger}, and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.stats.ThrownStore} can all be defined globally as Spring beans in a Spring Boot environment.

### 6.19 - HTTP Status Codes updated: 9.0.0

By default, a 200 (OK) status is automatically set as the HTTP status when a Java method executes successfully.

Other status codes can be generated by throwing a {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response.BasicHttpException} with a specific HTTP status code, or calling {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse#setStatus(int)}.

Non-OK (200) status codes are automatically triggered by the following conditions:

Code | Description | When triggered
--- | --- | ---
401 | Unauthorized | A {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.guard.RestGuard guard} prevented the method from being executed
404 | Not Found | No matching path patterns were found on any method
405 | Method Not Implemented | A path pattern matched, but no Java methods were found for the HTTP method
406 | Not Acceptable | A path pattern matched, but no Java methods were found with a matching serializer for the Accept on the request
412 | Precondition Failed | A path pattern matched, but no Java methods were found that were not rejected by {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestMatcher matchers}
415 | Unsupported Media Type | A path pattern matched, but no Java methods were found with a matching parser for the Content-Type on the request
500 | Internal Server Error | The Java method threw an exception other than {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response.BasicHttpException}

### 6.20 - Built-in Parameters updated: 9.0.0

The following URL parameters have special meaning and can be passed in through the URL of the request:

GET Parameter | Description
--- | ---
&plainText=true | Response will always be Content-Type: text/plain and the returned text will be human-readable ({@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer.Builder#useWhitespace()} enabled). Useful for debugging.
&debug=true | Enable debug mode for request.
&noTrace=true | If an error occurs, don't log the stack trace to the log file. Useful for automated JUnit testcases testing error states to prevent the log file from filling up with useless stack traces.
&method=X | Overload the HTTP method as a GET parameter (e.g "POST"). Must be enabled via {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#allowedMethodParams() @Rest(allowedMethodParams)} setting.
&Header-Name=headerValue | Specify a header value as a GET parameter. Must be enabled via {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#allowedHeaderParams() @Rest(allowedHeaderParams)} setting.
&body=X | Pass in the HTTP body content on PUT and POST methods as a UON-encoded GET parameter. Can be disabled via {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#disableContentParam() @Rest(disableContentParam)} setting.
&x-response-headers=X | Pass-through headers to the response. Must be a UON-encoded map of key-value pairs.

### 6.21 - Using with OSGi

Since REST servlets are basically just HttpServlets, incorporating them into an OSGi environment is pretty straightforward.

The following code shows how to register your REST servlets in an OSGi Activator:

package org.apache.juneau.examples.rest; import org.osgi.framework.*; import org.osgi.service.http.*; import org.osgi.util.tracker.*; import org.apache.juneau.rest.samples.*; /** * Activator class used when running samples as a bundle in an OSGi environment. */ public class Activator implements BundleActivator, ServiceTrackerCustomizer { private ServiceTracker httpServiceTracker; private BundleContext context; @Override /* BundleActivator */ public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception { this.context = context; httpServiceTracker = new ServiceTracker(context, HttpService.class.getName(), this); httpServiceTracker.open(); } @Override /* BundleActivator */ public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception { httpServiceTracker.close(); } @Override /* ServiceTrackerCustomizer */ public Object addingService(ServiceReference reference) { Object service = context.getService(reference); if (service instanceof HttpService) { HttpService service = (HttpService)service; try { service.registerServlet("/sample", new MyRestServlet(), null, null); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } return service; } @Override /* ServiceTrackerCustomizer */ public void modifiedService(ServiceReference reference, Object service) { } @Override /* ServiceTrackerCustomizer */ public void removedService(ServiceReference reference, Object service) { } }

### 6.22 - RestContext created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext} object is the workhorse class for all of the configuration of a single REST resource class. It's by-far the most important class in the REST API.

Every class annotated with @Rest ends up with an instance of this object. The object itself is read-only and unchangeable and is initialized with all of the various annotations pulled from the class and methods. All functionality available through annotations have programmatic equivalents through the builder of this class.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder} class extends {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder} allowing you to programmatically set any properties defined on that builder class. It also implements {@link javax.servlet.ServletConfig}

To access this object, simply pass it in as a constructor argument or in an INIT hook:

// Option #1 - Pass in through constructor. public MyResource(RestContext.Builder builder) { builder .beanContext(x -> x.swaps(TemporalCalendarSwap.Rfc1123DateTime.class)) .debugEnablement(CONDITIONAL); } // Option #2 - Use an INIT hook. @RestHook(INIT) public void init(RestContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder .beanContext(x -> x.swaps(TemporalCalendarSwap.Rfc1123DateTime.class)) .debugEnablement(CONDITIONAL); }

This class is vast. Combined with {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext} (which is the equivalent per-method context), these classes define the entire configuration and workflow of the REST API.

There are multiple ways to programmatically alter how RestContext behaves. The most straightforward are the following builder methods which are direct equivalents to values defined on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest} annotation:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#allowedHeaderParams(String) allowedHeaderParams}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#allowedMethodHeaders(String) allowedMethodHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#allowedMethodParams(String) allowedMethodParams}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#clientVersionHeader(String) clientVersionHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#child(String, Object) child}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#children(Object...) children}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#config(Config) config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#consumes(MediaType...) consumes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debug(Enablement) debug}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debugDefault(Enablement) debugDefault}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debugOn(String) debugOn}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultAccept(String) defaultAccept}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultCharset(Charset) defaultCharset}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultClasses(Class...) defaultClasses}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultContentType(String) defaultContentType}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultRequestAttributes(NamedAttribute...) defaultRequestAttributes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultRequestHeaders(Header...) defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultResponseHeaders(Header...) defaultResponseHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultSetting(String, Object) defaultSetting}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#disableContentParam(boolean) disableContentParam}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#logger(Logger) logger}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#maxInput(String) maxInput}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#path(String) path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#parserListener(Class) parserListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#produces(MediaType...) produces}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#renderResponseStackTraces(boolean) renderResponseStackTraces}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#restOpArgs(Class...) restOpArgs}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#serializerListener(Class) serializerListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#swaggerProvider(Class) swaggerProvider}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriAuthority(String) uriAuthority}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriContext(String) uriContext}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriRelativity(UriRelativity) uriRelativity}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriResolution(UriResolution) uriResolution}

For more complex configurations, access to sub-builders is provided via the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#callLogger() callLogger}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#config() config}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#consumes() consumes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#debugEnablement() debugEnablement}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultClasses() defaultClasses}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultRequestAttributes() defaultRequestAttributes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultRequestHeaders() defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultResponseHeaders() defaultResponseHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#defaultSettings() defaultSettings}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#encoders() encoders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#fileFinder() fileFinder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#jsonSchemaGenerator() jsonSchemaGenerator}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#logger() logger}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#messages() messages}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#methodExecStore() methodExecStore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#parsers() parsers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#partParser() partParser}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#partSerializer() partSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#produces() produces}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#responseProcessors() responseProcessors}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#restOpArgs() restOpArgs}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#rootBeanStore() rootBeanStore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#serializers() serializers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#staticFiles() staticFiles}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#swaggerProvider() swaggerProvider}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#thrownStore() thrownStore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#varResolver() varResolver}

- The builders or built objects above can also be defined as injected beans defined in a Spring Configuration if you wish to do all your app configuration Spring-style. This is described in detail in the {@doc juneau-rest-server-springboot} documentation.

The programmatic equivalent to the annotated lifecycle methods are below:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#postInitMethods() postInitMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#postInitChildFirstMethods() postInitChildFirstMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#startCallMethods() startCallMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#preCallMethods() preCallMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#postCallMethods() postCallMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#endCallMethods() endCallMethods}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#destroyMethods() destroyMethods}

- It is also possible to override methods on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext} class itself by providing your own specialized subclass via the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#type(Class)} method.

### 6.23 - RestOpContext created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext} object is the workhorse class for an individual {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}-annotated method.

Every class annotated with @RestOp ends up with an instance of this object. Similar to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext}, the object is read-only and unchangeable and is initialized with all of the various annotations pulled from the method. All functionality available through annotations have programmatic equivalents through the builder of this class.

To access the builder for these objects, simply implement the following init method that will be called for each {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp}-annotated method.

// Use an INIT hook with RestOpContext.Builder as a parameter. @RestHook(INIT) public void init(RestOpContext.Builder builder) throws Exception { builder .beanContext(x -> x.swaps(TemporalCalendarSwap.Rfc1123DateTime.class)) .debugEnablement(CONDITIONAL); }

There are multiple ways to programmatically alter how RestOpContext behaves. The most straightforward are the following builder methods which are direct equivalents to values defined on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp} annotation:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#clientVersion(String) clientVersion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#consumes(MediaType...) consumes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#debug(Enablement) debug}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultCharset(Charset) defaultCharset}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#dotAll() dotAll}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#httpMethod(String) httpMethod}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#maxInput(String) maxInput}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#path(String...) path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#produces(MediaType...) produces}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#roleGuard(String) roleGuard}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#rolesDeclared(String...) rolesDeclared}

For more complex configurations, access to sub-builders is provided via the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#converters() converters}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultClasses() defaultClasses}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultRequestAttributes() defaultRequestAttributes}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultRequestFormData() defaultRequestFormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultRequestHeaders() defaultRequestHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultRequestQueryData() defaultRequestQueryData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#defaultResponseHeaders() defaultResponseHeaders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#encoders() encoders}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#guards() guards}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#jsonSchemaGenerator() jsonSchemaGenerator}

  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#partSerializer() partSerializer}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#serializers() serializers}

- It is also possible to override methods on the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext} class itself by providing your own specialized subclass via the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpContext.Builder#type(Class)} method.

### 6.24 - Response Processors created: 9.0.0

The REST Server API uses the concept of registered response processors for converting objects returned by REST methods or set through {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#setContent(Object)} into appropriate HTTP responses.

By default, REST resource classes are registered with the following response processors:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.HttpEntityProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.HttpResourceProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.HttpResponseProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.InputStreamProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.PlainTextPojoProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.ReaderProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.ResponseBeanProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.SerializedPojoProcessor}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.processor.ThrowableProcessor}

Custom response processors can be associated with REST resources via the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#responseProcessors}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#responseProcessors()}

Response processors can be used to process POJOs that cannot normally be handled through Juneau serializers, or because it's simply easier to define response processors for special cases.

The following example shows how to create a response processor to handle special Foo objects outside the normal Juneau architecture.

@Rest( path="/example", responseProcessors=FooProcessor.class ) public class Example extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { @RestGet("/") public Foo test1() { return new Foo("123"); } public static class FooProcessor implements ResponseProcessor { @Override public int process(RestOpSession opSession) { RestResponse res = opSession.getRestResponse(); Foo foo = res.getOutput(Foo.class); if (foo == null) return NEXT; // Let the next processor handle it. // Set some headers and body content. res.setHeader("Foo-ID", foo.getId()); res.getWriter().write("foo.id=" + foo.getId()); return FINISHED; // We handled it. } } }

### 6.25 - REST/RPC updated: 8.0.0,9.0.0

The REST/RPC (RPC over REST) API allows the creation of client-side remote proxy interfaces for calling methods on server-side POJOs using entirely REST.

- This is not to be confused with {@doc juneau-rest-server-springboot REST Proxies} which are entirely client-side driven Java interfaces against arbitrary backend REST interfaces.

##### Remote Interfaces

The following example shows a remote interface:

@RemoteInterface // Annotation is optional public interface IAddressBook { void init() throws Exception; List<Person> getPeople(); List<Address> getAddresses(); int createPerson(CreatePerson cp) throws Exception; Person findPerson(int id); Address findAddress(int id); Person findPersonWithAddress(int id); Person removePerson(int id); }

The requirements for a remote interface method are:

- Must be public.
- Can be called anything.
- Can have any number of {@doc jm.PojoCategories serializable and parsable} parameters.
- Can return a {@doc jm.PojoCategories serializable and parsable} value.
- Can throw any Throwables.

Throwables with public no-arg or single-arg-string constructors are automatically recreated on the client side when thrown on the server side.

##### Client side

Remote Interface proxies are instantiated on the client side using one of the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRrpcInterface(Class) getRrpcInterface(Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRrpcInterface(Class,Object) getRrpcInterface(Class,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRrpcInterface(Class,Object,Serializer,Parser) getRrpcInterface(Class,Object,Serializer,Parser)}

Since we build upon the existing RestClient API, we inherit all of it's features. For example, convenience methods for setting POJO filters and properties to customize the behavior of the serializers and parsers, and the ability to provide your own customized Apache HttpClient for handling various scenarios involving authentication and Internet proxies.

Here's an example of the above interface being used:

// Create a RestClient using JSON for serialization, and point to the server-side remote interface servlet. RestClient client = RestClient.create() .json() .rootUrl("http://localhost:10000/remote") .build(); // Create a proxy interface. IAddressBook ab = client.getRrpcInterface(IAddressBook.class); // Invoke a method on the server side and get the returned result. Person p = ab.createPerson( new Person( "John Smith", "Aug 1, 1999", new Address("My street", "My city", "My state", 12345, true) ) );

Under the covers, this method call gets converted to a REST POST.

HTTP POST http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.IAddressBook/createPerson(org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.Person) Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json [ { "name":"John Smith", "birthDate":"Aug 1, 1999", "addresses":[ { "street":"My street", "city":"My city", "state":"My state", "zip":12345, "isCurrent":true } ] } ]

Note that the body of the request is an array. This array contains the serialized arguments of the method. The object returned by the method is then serialized as the body of the response.

##### Server side

There are two ways to expose remote interfaces on the server side:

1. Extending from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.remote.RrpcServlet}.
2. Using a @RestOp(method=RRPC) annotation on a Java method.

In either case, the proxy communications layer is pure REST. Therefore, in cases where the interface classes are not available on the client side, the same method calls can be made through pure REST calls. This can also aid significantly in debugging, since calls to the remote interface service can be made directly from a browser with no coding involved.

##### RrpcServlet

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.remote.RrpcServlet} class is a simple specialized servlet with an abstract getServiceMap() method to define the server-side POJOs:

@Rest( path="/remote" ) public class SampleRrpcServlet extends RrpcServlet { // Our server-side POJO. private AddressBook addressBook = new AddressBook(); @Override /* RrpcServlet */ protected Map<Class<?>,Object> getServiceMap() throws Exception { Map<Class<?>,Object> map = new LinkedHashMap<Class<?>,Object>(); // In this simplified example, we expose the same POJO service under two different interfaces. // One is IAddressBook which only exposes methods defined on that interface, and // the other is AddressBook itself which exposes all methods defined on the class itself (dangerous!). map.put(IAddressBook.class, addressBook); map.put(AddressBook.class, addressBook); return map; } }

##### @RestOp(method=RRPC)

The @RestOp(method=RRPC) approach is easier if you only have a single interface you want to expose. You simply define a Java method whose return type is an interface, and return the implementation of that interface:

// Our exposed interface. @RestOp(method=RRPC, path="/addressbookproxy/*") public IAddressBook getProxy() { return addressBook; }

##### RrpcServlet in a browser

If you point your browser to the servlet above, you get a list of available interfaces:

http://localhost:10000/remote

Clicking the hyperlinks on each shows you the list of methods that can be invoked on that service. Note that the IAddressBook link shows that you can only invoke methods defined on that interface, whereas the AddressBook link shows ALL public methods defined on that class.

##### IAddressBook

http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.IAddressBook

Since AddressBook extends from LinkedList, you may notice familiar collections framework methods listed.

##### AddressBook

http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.AddressBook

Let's see how we can interact with this interface through nothing more than REST calls to get a better idea on how this works. We'll use the same method call as in the introduction. First, we need to create the serialized form of the arguments:

Object[] args = new Object[] { new CreatePerson("Test Person", AddressBook.toCalendar("Aug 1, 1999"), new CreateAddress("Test street", "Test city", "Test state", 12345, true)) }; String asJson = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT_READABLE.toString(args); System.err.println(asJson);

That produces the following JSON output:

[ { name: 'Test Person', birthDate: 'Aug 1, 1999', addresses: [ { street: 'Test street', city: 'Test city', state: 'Test state', zip: 12345, isCurrent: true } ] } ]

Note that in this example we're using JSON. However, various other content types can also be used such as XML, URL-Encoding, UON, or HTML. In practice however, JSON will preferred since it is often the most efficient.

Next, we can use a tool such as Poster to make the REST call. Methods are invoked by POSTing the serialized object array to the URI of the interface method. In this case, we want to POST our JSON to the following URL:

http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.IAddressBook/createPerson(org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.CreatePerson)

Make sure that we specify the Content-Type of the body as text/json. We also want the results to be returned as JSON, so we set the Accept header to text/json as well.

When we execute the POST, we should see the following successful response whose body contains the returned Person bean serialized to JSON:

From there, we could use the following code snippet to reconstruct the response object from JSON:

String response = "output from above"; Person p = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(response, Person.class);

If we alter our servlet to allow overloaded GET requests, we can invoke methods using nothing more than a browser...

@Rest( path="/remote", // Allow us to use method=POST from a browser. allowedMethodParams="*" ) public class SampleRrpcServlet extends RrpcServlet {

For example, to invoke the getPeople() method on our bean:

http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.IAddressBook/getPeople?method=POST

Here we call the findPerson(int) method to retrieve a person and get the returned POJO (in this case as HTML since that's what's in the Accept header when calling from a browser):

http://localhost:10000/remote/org.apache.juneau.examples.addressbook.IAddressBook/findPerson(int)?method=POST&body=@(3)

When specifying the POST body as a &body parameter, the method arguments should be in UON notation. See {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer} for more information about this encoding. Usually you can also pass in JSON if you specify &Content-Type=text/json in the URL parameters but passing in unencoded JSON in a URL may not work in all browsers. Therefore, UON is preferred.

The hyperlinks on the method names above lead you to a simple form-entry page where you can test passing parameters in UON notation as URL-encoded form posts.

##### Sample form entry page

##### Sample form entry page results

### 6.26 - Serializing URIs updated: 9.0.0

As mention earlier {@doc jm.MarshallingUris here}, Juneau serializers have sophisticated support for transforming relative URIs to absolute form.

The following example shows a REST method that returns a list of URIs of various forms:

@Rest( uriAuthority="http://foo.com:123", uriContext="/myContext" ) public class MyResource { @RestGet public URI[] getURIs() { return new URI[] { URI.create("http://www.apache.org/f1a"), URI.create("/f1b"), URI.create("/f1c/x/y"), URI.create("f1d"), URI.create("f1e/x/y"), URI.create(""), URI.create("context:/f2a/x"), URI.create("context:/f2b"), URI.create("context:/"), URI.create("context:/.."), URI.create("servlet:/f3a/x"), URI.create("servlet:/f3b"), URI.create("servlet:/"), URI.create("servlet:/.."), URI.create("request:/f4a/x"), URI.create("request:/f4b"), URI.create("request:/"), URI.create("request:/..") }; } }

When requested as JSON, it produces the following result:

{ f1a:'http://www.apache.org/f1a', f1b:'http://foo.com:123/f1b', f1c:'http://foo.com:123/f1c/x/y', f1d:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/f1d', f1e:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/f1e/x/y', f1f:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet', f2a:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/f2a/x', f2b:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/f2b', f2c:'http://foo.com:123/myContext', f2d:'http://foo.com:123', f3a:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/f3a/x', f3b:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/f3b', f3c:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet', f3d:'http://foo.com:123/myContext', f4a:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath/f4a/x', f4b:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath/f4b', f4c:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet/myPath', f4d:'http://foo.com:123/myContext/myServlet' }

URI resolution is controlled by the following settings:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriAuthority(String) uriAuthority(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriContext(String) uriContext(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriRelativity(UriRelativity) uriRelativity(UriRelativity)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#uriResolution(UriResolution) uriResolution(UriResolution)}

URIs are resolved by both regular and part serializers.

### 6.27 - Utility Beans created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.beans} package contains a set of reusable utility beans meant to help with putting together explorable REST interfaces.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.UtilityBeansResource} class shows how these beans are used. The resource class is hosted in the example REST applications rendered below:

##### ResourceDescriptions

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.UtilityBeansResource#getChildDescriptions() getChildDescriptions()} method shows an example of rendering a list of descriptive links for child endpoints.

@RestGet("/") public ResourceDescriptions getChildDescriptions() { return ResourceDescriptions .create() .append("BeanDescription", "Example of BeanDescription bean") .append("Hyperlink", "Example of Hyperlink bean") .append("SeeOtherRoot", "Example of SeeOtherRoot bean"); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

##### BeanDescription

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.UtilityBeansResource#aBeanDescription() aBeanDescription()} method shows an example of rendering simple schema information about an arbitrary bean class.

@RestGet("/BeanDescription") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized org.apache.juneau.rest.utilitybeans.ResourceDescriptions bean.</p>", "</div>" } ) public BeanDescription aBeanDescription() { return BeanDescription.of(Address.class); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

##### Hyperlink

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.UtilityBeansResource#aHyperlink() aHyperlink()} method shows an example of rendering a simple hyperlink.

@RestGet("/Hyperlink") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized org.apache.juneau.rest.utilitybeans.Hyperlink bean.</p>", "</div>" } ) public Hyperlink aHyperlink() { return Hyperlink.create("/utilitybeans", "Back to /utilitybeans"); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

##### SeeOtherRoot

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.UtilityBeansResource#aSeeOtherRoot() aSeeOtherRoot()} method shows an example of sending a 303 See Other with a Location header pointing to the servlet root.

@RestGet("/SeeOtherRoot") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized org.apache.juneau.rest.utilitybeans.SeeOtherRoot bean.</p>", "</div>" } ) public SeeOtherRoot aSeeOtherRoot() { return SeeOtherRoot.INSTANCE; }

Clicking on the link will just redirect to this same page.

Typically this is useful for endpoints where you want to redirect back to the servlet root, such as a DELETE.

### 6.28 - Using with HTML Beans created: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.HtmlBeansResource} class shows how {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5 HTML5 beans} can be used to generate arbitrary HTML on REST endpoints.

##### table

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.HtmlBeansResource#aTable() aTable()} method shows an example of rendering an HTML table.

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; @RestGet("/table") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized table.</p>", "</div>" } ) public Table aTable() { return table( tr( th("c1"), th("c2") ), tr( td("v1"), td("v2") ) ); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

##### div

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.HtmlBeansResource#aDiv() aDiv()} method shows an example of rendering a div tag with mixed content.

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; @RestGet("/div") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized div tag.</p>", "</div>" } ) public HtmlElement aDiv() { return div() .children( p("Juneau supports ", b(i("mixed")), " content!") ) .onmouseover("alert(\"boo!\");"); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

##### form

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.HtmlBeansResource#aForm() aForm()} method shows an example of rendering an HTML form.

import static org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlBuilder.*; @RestGet("/form") @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>Example of serialized HTML form.</p>", "</div>" } ) public Form aForm() { return form().action("/submit").method("POST") .children( "Position (1-10000): ", input("number").name("pos").value(1), br(), "Limit (1-10000): ", input("number").name("limit").value(100), br(), button("submit", "Submit"), button("reset", "Reset") ); }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

### 6.29 - Other Notes

- Subclasses can use either {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet#init(ServletConfig)} or {@link javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet#init()} for initialization just like any other servlet.
- The X-Response-Headers header can be used to pass through header values into the response. The value should be a URL-encoded map of key-value pairs. For example, to add a "Refresh: 1" header to the response to auto-refresh a page, the following parameter can be specified: "/sample?X-Response-Headers={Refresh=1}"

The juneau-rest-server-jaxrs library provides an implementation of a MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter to allow any of the Juneau serializers and parsers to be used in a JAX/RS environment.

### 8.1 - Juneau JAX-RS Provider

The Juneau framework contains the juneau-rest-server-jaxrs bundle for performing simple integration of Juneau serializers and parsers in JAX-RS compliant environments.

It should be noted that although some of the functionality of the Juneau Server API is provided through the JAX-RS integration components, it is not nearly as flexible as using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.RestServlet} class directly.

What you can do with the Juneau JAX-RS provider classes:

- Use existing Juneau serializers and parsers for converting streams to POJOs and vis-versa.
- Use annotations to specify filters and properties using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp @RestOp} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.jaxrs.JuneauProvider} annotations.

What you can't do with the Juneau JAX-RS provider classes:

- Specify or override serializers/parsers at the Java class and method levels.
  JAX-RS does not provide the capability to use different providers for the same media types at the class or method levels.
- Specify or override filters and properties at the Java class level.
- Default stylesheets for the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} class.
  It will produce HTML, but it won't contain any styles applied.
- The ability to specify HTTP method, headers, and content using GET parameters.
  These make debugging REST interfaces using only a browser possible.
- Class or method level encoding.
- Class or method level guards.
- Class or method level converters.

The Juneau JAX-RS provider API consists of the following classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.jaxrs.BaseProvider} - The base provider class that implements the JAX-RS MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter interfaces.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.jaxrs.JuneauProvider} - Annotation that is applied to subclasses of BaseProvider to specify the serializers/parsers associated with a provider, and optionally filters and properties to apply to those serializers and parsers.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.jaxrs.BasicProvider} - A default provider that provides the same level of media type support as the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} class.

For the most part, when using these components, you'll either use the existing BasicProvider, or define your own by subclassing BaseProvider.

## 9 - juneau-rest-server-springboot created: 8.0.0, updated: 9.0.0

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-rest-server-springboot</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.rest.server.springboot_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-rest-server-springboot library provides classes to make it easy to integrate Juneau REST resources with Spring and Spring Boot.

### 9.1 - Overview created: 8.0.0, updated: 9.0.0

The Juneau REST servlet APIs are designed to work seemlessly with the Spring Boot framework. The only restriction is that your top-level REST resource must extend from one of the following classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} - Basic servlet
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup} - Basic servlet group

These classes are the equivalent to the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServletGroup} except they hook into the injection framework of Spring Boot to provide resolution of beans (e.g. child resources, various configuration classes).

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.springboot} package and {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.springboot.App} application are a basic Spring Boot application that shows off simple Juneau examples including injection beans.

@SpringBootApplication @Controller public class App { //Entry point method. public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(App.class).run(args); } // Our root REST bean. // Note that this must extend from {@link SpringRestServlet} to allow use of injection. // All REST objects are attached to this bean using the {@link Rest#children()} annotation. @Bean public RootResources getRootResources() { return new RootResources(); } // Registers our REST bean at the URI root. @Bean public ServletRegistrationBean<Servlet> getRootServlet(RootResources rootResources) { return new ServletRegistrationBean<>(rootResources, "/*"); } // Injected child resource. @Bean public HelloWorldResource getHelloWorldResource() { return new HelloWorldResource(); } // Injected child bean used in injected child resource. @Bean public HelloWorldMessageProvider getHelloWorldMessageProvider() { return new HelloWorldMessageProvider("Hello Spring injection user!"); } }

Our root resource servlet serves as a router page. It is defined as follows:

@Rest( title="Root resources", description="Example of a router resource page.", children={ HelloWorldResource.class, DtoExamples.class, UtilityBeansResource.class, HtmlBeansResource.class, ConfigResource.class, ShutdownResource.class } ) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "api: servlet:/api", "stats: servlet:/stats", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/$R{servletClassSimple}.java" }, aside={ "<div class='text'>", " <p>This is an example of a 'router' page that serves as a jumping-off point to child resources.</p>", " <p>Resources can be nested arbitrarily deep through router pages.</p>", " <p>Note the <span class='link'>API</span> link provided that lets you see the generated swagger doc for this page.</p>", " <p>Also note the <span class='link'>STATS</span> link that provides basic usage statistics.</p>", " <p>Also note the <span class='link'>SOURCE</span> link on these pages to view the source code for the page.</p>", " <p>All content on pages in the UI are serialized POJOs. In this case, it's a serialized array of beans with 2 properties, 'name' and 'description'.</p>", " <p>Other features (such as this aside) are added through annotations.</p>", "</div>" }, asideFloat="RIGHT" ) @SerializerConfig( quoteChar="'" ) public class RootResources extends BasicSpringRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; }

##### HTML representation

##### JSON representation

The {@link org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.springboot.HelloWorldResource} class shows an example of a child resource defined as an injected bean.

@Rest( title="Hello World", description="An example of the simplest-possible resource", path="/helloWorld" ) @HtmlDocConfig( aside={ "<div style='max-width:400px' class='text'>", " <p>This page shows a resource that simply response with a 'Hello world!' message</p>", " <p>The POJO serialized is a simple String.</p>", "</div>" } ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestObject implements BasicUniversalConfig { @Inject private HelloWorldMessageProvider messageProvider; @RestGet(path="/*", summary="Responds with injected message") public String sayHello() { return messageProvider.get(); } }

Note that the message rendered is coming from our injected message provider:

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-rest-client</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-rest-client-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.rest.client_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

Built upon the feature-rich Apache HttpClient library, the Juneau RestClient API adds support for fluent-style REST calls and the ability to perform marshalling of POJOs to and from HTTP parts.

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with JSON support and download a bean. MyBean bean = RestClient.create() .simpleJson() .build() .get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200) .assertHeader("Content-Type").matchesSimple("application/json*") .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

Breaking apart the fluent call, we can see the classes being used:

RestClient.Builder builder = RestClient.create().simpleJson(); RestClient client = builder.build(); RestRequest req = client.get(URI); RestResponse res = req.run(); RestResponseStatusLineAssertion statusLineAssertion = res.assertStatus(); FluentIntegerAssertion<RestResponse> codeAssertion = statusLineAssertion.asCode(); res = codeAssertion.is(200); FluentStringAssertion<RestResponse> headerAssertion = res.assertHeader("Content-Type"); res = headerAssertion.matchesSimple("application/json*"); ResponseContent content = res.getContent(); MyBean bean = content.as(MyBean.class);

It additionally provides support for creating remote proxy interfaces using REST as the transport medium.

##### Example:

// Define a Remote proxy for interacting with a REST interface. @Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemotePost("/pets") Pet addPet( @Content CreatePet pet, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ); } PetStore store = RestClient .create() .simpleJson() .build() .getRemote(PetStore.class, "http://localhost:10000"); CreatePet createPet = new CreatePet("Fluffy", 9.99); Pet pet = store.addPet(createPet, UUID.randomUUID(), true);

The classes are closely tied to Apache HttpClient, yet provide lots of additional functionality:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} implements {@link org.apache.http.client.HttpClient}, creates {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest} objects.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest} implements {@link org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest}, creates {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} objects.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} implements {@link org.apache.http.HttpResponse}, creates {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader} objects.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent} implements {@link org.apache.http.HttpEntity}

Instances of this class are built using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} class which can be constructed using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#create() RestClient.create()} method as shown above.

Clients are typically created with a root URI so that relative URIs can be used when making requests. This is done using the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#rootUri(Object)} method.

##### Example:

// Create a client where all URIs are relative to localhost. RestClient client = RestClient.create().json().rootUri("http://localhost:10000").build(); // Use relative paths. String content = client.get("/subpath").run().getContent().asString();

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} class creates {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest} objects using the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#get(Object) get(uri)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#get() get()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#put(Object,Object) put(uri,body)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#put(Object) put(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#post(Object) post(uri,body)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#post(Object) post(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#patch(Object,Object) patch(uri,body)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#patch(Object) patch(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#delete(Object) delete(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#head(Object) head(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#options(Object) options(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#formPost(Object,Object) formPost(uri,body)} / {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#formPost(Object) formPost(uri)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#formPostPairs(Object,Object...) formPostPairs(uri,parameters...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#request(String,Object,Object) request(method,uri,body)}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest} class creates {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} objects using the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#run() run()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#complete() complete()}

The distinction between the two methods is that {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#complete() complete()} automatically consumes the response body and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#run() run()} does not. Note that you must consume response bodies in order for HTTP connections to be freed up for reuse! The {@link java.io.InputStream InputStreams} returned by the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent} object are auto-closing once they are exhausted, so it is often not necessary to explicitly close them.

The following examples show the distinction between the two calls:

// Consuming the response, so use run(). String content = client.get(URI).run().getContent().asString(); // Only interested in response status code, so use complete(). int status = client.get(URI).complete().getStatusCode();

### 10.1 - POJO Marshalling created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

By default, JSON support is provided for HTTP request and response bodies. Other languages can be specified using any of the following builder methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#json() json()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#simpleJson() simpleJson()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#xml() xml()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#html() html()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#plainText() plainText()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#msgPack() msgPack()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#uon() uon()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#urlEnc() urlEnc()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#openApi() openApi()}

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with Simplified-JSON support. // Typically easier to use when performing unit tests. RestClient client = RestClient.create().simpleJson().build();

Clients can also support multiple languages:

##### Example:

// Create a REST client with support for multiple languages. RestClient client1 = RestClient.create().json().xml().openApi().build(); // Create a REST client with support for all supported languages. RestClient client2 = RestClient.create().universal().build();

When using clients with multiple language support, the request language is selected by setting the Content-Type request header.

// Create a REST client with support for multiple languages. RestClient client = RestClient.create().universal().build(); client.post(URI, myBean) .contentType("application/json") .complete() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200);

Languages can also be specified per-request.

// Create a REST client with no default languages supported. RestClient client = RestClient.create().build(); // Use JSON for this request. client.post(URI, myBean) .json() .complete() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200);

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} class provides convenience methods for setting common serializer and parser settings.

##### Example:

// Create a basic REST client with JSON support. // Use single-quotes and whitespace. RestClient client1 = RestClient.create().json().sq().ws().build();

Other methods are also provided for specifying the serializers and parsers used for lower-level marshalling support:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#serializer(Serializer) serializer(Serializer)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#parser(Parser) parser(Parser)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#marshall(Marshall) marshall(Marshall)}

HTTP parts (headers, query parameters, form data...) are serialized and parsed using the {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartParser} APIs. By default, clients are configured to use {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiParser}. These can be overridden using the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#partSerializer(Class) partSerializer(Class<? extends HttpPartSerializer>)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#partParser(Class) partParser(Class<? extends HttpPartParser>)}

### 10.2 - Request Parts created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

Per-client or per-request HTTP parts (headers, query/form data, path parameters) can be manipulated via the following methods that return back builders for those parts:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#headers() headers()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#formData() formData()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#queryData() queryData()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#pathData() pathData()}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#headers() headers()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formData() formData()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#queryData() queryData()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#pathData() pathData()}

Convenience methods are also provided for quickly adding parts:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#header(String,String) header(String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#header(String,Supplier) header(String,Supplier<String>)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#headers(Header...) headers(Header...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#headersDefault(Header...) headersDefault(Header...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#formData(NameValuePair...) formData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#formData(String,String) formData(String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#formData(String,Supplier) formData(String,Supplier<String>)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#formDataDefault(NameValuePair...) formDataDefault(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#queryData(NameValuePair...) queryData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#queryData(String,String) queryData(String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#queryData(String,Supplier) queryData(String,Supplier<String>)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#queryDataDefault(NameValuePair...) queryDataDefault(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#pathData(NameValuePair...) pathData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#pathData(String,String) pathData(String,String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#pathData(String,Supplier) pathData(String,Supplier<String>)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#pathDataDefault(NameValuePair...) pathDataDefault(NameValuePair...)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#header(Header) header(Header)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#header(String,Object) header(String,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#headerPairs(String...) headerPairs(String...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#headers(Header...) headers(Header...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#headersBean(Object) headersBean(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formData(NameValuePair...) formData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formData(String,Object) formData(String,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formDataBean(Object) formDataBean(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formDataCustom(Object) formDataCustom(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#formDataPairs(String...) formDataPairs(String...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#queryData(NameValuePair...) queryData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#queryData(String,Object) queryData(String,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#queryDataBean(Object) queryDataBean(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#queryDataPairs(String...) queryDataPairs(String...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#pathData(NameValuePair...) pathData(NameValuePair...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#pathData(String,Object) pathData(String,Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#pathDataBean(Object) pathDataBean(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#pathDataPairs(String...) pathDataPairs(String...)}

##### Example:

// Create a client that adds a "Foo: bar" header to every request. RestClient client = RestClient.create().header("Foo","bar").build(); // Or do it on every request. String response = client.get(URI).header("Foo","bar").run().getContent().asString();

The supplier methods are particularly useful for header values whose values may change over time (such as Authorization headers which may need to change every few minutes).

##### Example:

// Create a client that adds a dynamic Authorization header to every request. RestClient client = RestClient.create().header("Authorization", ()->getMyAuthToken()).build();

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header} - Predefined {@link org.apache.http.Header} beans.

### 10.3 - Request Content created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

The request body can either be passed in with the client creator method (e.g. {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#post(Object,Object) post(uri,body)}), or can be specified via the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#content(Object) content(Object)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#content(Object,HttpPartSchema) content(Object,HttpPartSchema)}

The request body can be any of the following types:

- {@link java.lang.Object} - POJO to be converted to text using the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer} defined on the client or request.
- {@link java.io.Reader} - Raw contents of {@code Reader} will be serialized to remote resource.
- {@link java.io.InputStream} - Raw contents of {@code InputStream} will be serialized to remote resource.
- {@link org.apache.http.HttpEntity} - Bypass Juneau serialization and pass HttpEntity directly to HttpClient.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} - Converted to a URL-encoded FORM post.
- {@link java.util.function.Supplier} - A supplier of anything on this list.

##### Examples:

// Create a client with Simple-JSON support. RestClient client = RestClient.create().simpleJson().build(); // Post a JSON-serialized bean. client .post(URI) .content(bean) .complete() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200); // Post contents from a reader. client .post(URI) .content(new FileReader("/tmp/foo.json")) .complete() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200); // Post contents from an Apache HttpEntity object. client .post(URI) .content(new StringEntity(jsonString, ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON)) .complete() .assertStatus().asCode().is(200);

- If the serializer on the client or request is explicitly set to null, POJOs will be converted to strings using the registered part serializer as content type "text/plain. If the part serializer is also null, POJOs will be converted to strings using {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta#toString(Object)} which typically just calls {@link java.lang.Object#toString()}.

### 10.4 - Response Status created: 8.1.0, updated: 9.0.0

After execution using {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#run()} or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#complete()}, the following methods can be used to get the response status:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getStatusLine() getStatusLine()} returns {@link org.apache.http.StatusLine}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getStatusCode() getStatusCode()} returns int
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getReasonPhrase() getReasonPhrase()} returns String
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#assertStatus() assertStatus()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponseStatusLineAssertion}

##### Example:

// Only interested in status code. int statusCode = client.get(URI).complete().getStatusCode();

Equivalent methods with mutable parameters are provided to allow access to status values without breaking fluent call chains.

##### Example:

// Interested in multiple values. Value<Integer> statusCode = Value.empty(); Value<String> reasonPhrase = Value.empty(); client.get(URI).complete().getStatusCode(statusCode).getReasonPhrase(reasonPhrase); System.err.println("statusCode="+statusCode.get()+", reasonPhrase="+reasonPhrase.get());

- If you are only interested in the response status and not the response body, be sure to use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#complete()} instead of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#run()} to make sure the response body gets automatically cleaned up. Otherwise you must consume the response yourself.

The assertion method is provided for quickly asserting status codes in fluent calls.

##### Example:

// Status assertion using a static value. String content1 = client.get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().isBetween(200,399) .getContent().asString(); // Status assertion using a predicate. String content2 = client.get(URI) .run() .assertStatus().asCode().is(x -> x<400) .getContent().asString();

### 10.5 - Response Headers created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

Response headers are accessed through the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getHeader(String) getHeader(String)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getHeaders(String) getHeaders(String)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}[]
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getFirstHeader(String) getFirstHeader(String)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getLastHeader(String) getLastHeader(String)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getAllHeaders() getAllHeaders()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}[]
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getStringHeader(String) getStringHeader(String)} returns String
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#containsHeader(String) containsHeader(String)} returns boolean

Unlike {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getFirstHeader(String)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getLastHeader(String)}, the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getHeader(String)} method returns an empty {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader} object instead of returning null. This allows it to be used more easily in fluent calls.

##### Example:

RestResponse res = client.get(URI).complete(); ResponseHeader header = res.getHeader("Location"); // See if response contains Location header. boolean hasLocationHeader = header.isPresent(); // Get actual value if it exists. String locationHeader1 = header.orElse("http://localhost"); // Converted to object. URI locationHeader2 = header.as(URI.class).orElse(null);

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader} class extends from the HttpClient {@link org.apache.http.Header} class and provides several convenience methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#isPresent() isPresent()} returns boolean
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asString() asString()} returns String
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#as(Type,Type...) as(Type,Type...)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#as(Class) as(Class<T>)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asMatcher(Pattern) asMatcher(Pattern)} returns {@link java.util.regex.Matcher}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asMatcher(String) asMatcher(String)} returns {@link java.util.regex.Matcher}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asHeader(Class) asHeader(Class<T extends BasicHeader> c)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.BasicHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asStringHeader() asStringHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicIntegerHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asIntegerHeader() asIntegerHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicStringHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asLongHeader() asLongHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicLongHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asDateHeader() asDateHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicDateHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asCsvHeader() asCsvHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicCsvHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asEntityTagsHeader() asEntityTagsHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicEntityTagsHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asStringRangesHeader() asStringRangesHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicStringRangesHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#asUriHeader() asUriHeader()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.http.header.BasicUriHeader}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#schema(HttpPartSchema)} method allows you to perform parsing of OpenAPI formats for header parts.

##### Example:

// Parse the header "Foo: bar|baz". List<String> fooHeader = client .get(URI) .complete() .getHeader("Foo").schema(T_ARRAY_PIPES).as(List.class, String.class);

Assertion methods are also provided for fluent-style calls:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#assertString() assertString()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentStringAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#assertInteger() assertInteger()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentIntegerAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#assertLong() assertLong()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentLongAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseHeader#assertZonedDateTime() assertZonedDateTime()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentZonedDateTimeAssertion}

Note how in the following example, the fluent assertion returns control to the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} object after the assertion has been completed:

##### Example:

// Assert the response content type is any sort of JSON. String content = client.get(URI) .run() .getHeader("Content-Type").assertString().matchesSimple("application/json*") .getContent().asString();

### 10.6 - Response Content created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

The response body is accessed through the following method:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#getContent() getContent()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent} class extends from the HttpClient {@link org.apache.http.HttpEntity} class and provides several convenience methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asInputStream() asInputStream()} returns InputStream
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asReader() asReader()} returns Reader
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asReader(Charset) asReader(Charset)} returns Reader
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#pipeTo(OutputStream) pipeTo(OutputStream)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#pipeTo(Writer) pipeTo(Writer)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#as(Type,Type...) as(Type,Type...)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#as(Class) as(Class<T>)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asFuture(Class) asFuture(Class<T>)} returns Future<T>
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asFuture(Type,Type...) asFuture(Type,Type...)} returns Future<T>
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asString() asString()} returns String
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asStringFuture() asStringFuture()} returns Future<String>
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asAbbreviatedString(int) asAbbreviatedString(int)} returns String
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asMatcher(Pattern) asMatcher(Pattern)} returns {@link java.util.regex.Matcher}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asMatcher(String) asMatcher(String)} returns {@link java.util.regex.Matcher}

##### Examples:

// Parse into a bean. MyBean bean = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(MyBean.class); // Parse into a linked-list of strings. List<String> list1 = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(LinkedList.class, String.class); // Parse into a linked-list of beans. List<MyBean> list2 = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(LinkedList.class, MyBean.class); // Parse into a linked-list of linked-lists of strings. List<List<String>> list3 = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(LinkedList.class, LinkedList.class, String.class); // Parse into a map of string keys/values. Map<String,String> map1 = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(TreeMap.class, String.class, String.class); // Parse into a map containing string keys and values of lists containing beans. Map<String,List<MyBean>> map2 = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().as(TreeMap.class, String.class, List.class, MyBean.class);

The response body can only be consumed once unless it has been cached into memory. In many cases, the body is automatically cached when using the assertions methods or methods such as {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#asString()}. However, methods that involve reading directly from the input stream cannot be called twice. In these cases, the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse#cacheContent()} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#cache()} methods are provided to cache the response body in memory so that you can perform several operations against it.

// Cache the response body so we can access it twice. InputStream inputStream = client .get(URI) .run() .cacheContent() .getContent().pipeTo(someOtherStream) .getContent().asInputStream();

Assertion methods are also provided for fluent-style calls:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#assertString() assertString()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentStringAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#assertBytes() assertBytes()} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentByteArrayAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#assertObject(Class) assertObject(Class)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentObjectAssertion}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.ResponseContent#assertObject(Type,Type...) assertObject(Type,Type...)} returns {@link org.apache.juneau.assertions.FluentObjectAssertion}

##### Example:

// Assert that the body contains the string "Success". String content = client .get(URI) .run() .getContent().assertString().contains("Success") .getContent().asString();

Object assertions allow you to parse the response body into a POJO and then perform various tests on that resulting POJO.

##### Example:

// Parse bean into POJO and then validate that it was parsed correctly. MyBean bean = client.get(URI) .run() .getContent().assertObject(MyBean.class).asJson().is("{foo:'bar'}") .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

### 10.7 - Custom Call Handlers created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallHandler} interface provides the ability to provide custom handling of requests.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#callHandler(Class) callHandler(Class<? extends RestCallHandler>)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallHandler}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallHandler#run(HttpHost,HttpRequest,HttpContext) run(HttpHost,HttpRequest,HttpContext)} returns HttpResponse

##### Example:

// Our custom call handler. public class MyRestCallHandler implements RestCallHandler { private final RestClient client; public MyRestCallHandler(RestClient client) { this.client = client; } @Override public HttpResponse run(HttpHost target, HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws IOException { // Insert any special handling here. // The following is the default behavior: if (target == null) return client.execute((HttpUriRequest)request, context); return client.execute(target, request, context); } } // Create a client that uses our custom handler. RestClient client = RestClient() .create() .json() .callHandler(MyCallHandler.class) .build();

Note that there are other ways of accomplishing this such as extending the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} class and overriding the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#run(HttpHost,HttpRequest,HttpContext)} method or by defining your own {@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpRequestExecutor}. Using this interface is often simpler though.

### 10.8 - Interceptors created: 8.2.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallInterceptor} API provides a quick way of intercepting and manipulating requests and responses beyond the existing {@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpRequestInterceptor} and {@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpResponseInterceptor} APIs.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#interceptors(Object...) interceptors(Object...)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest#interceptors(RestCallInterceptor...) interceptors(RestCallInterceptor...)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallInterceptor}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallInterceptor#onInit(RestRequest) onInit(RestRequest)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallInterceptor#onConnect(RestRequest,RestResponse) onConnect(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallInterceptor#onClose(RestRequest,RestResponse) onClose(RestRequest,RestResponse)}

##### Example:

// Create a client with a customized interceptor. RestClient client = RestClient .create() .interceptors( new RestCallInterceptor() { @Override public void onInit(RestRequest req) throws Exception { // Intercept immediately after RestRequest object is created and all headers/query/form-data has been // set on the request from the client. } @Override public void onConnect(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) throws Exception { // Intercept immediately after an HTTP response has been received. } @Override public void onClose(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) throws Exception { // Intercept when the response body is consumed. } } ) .build();

### 10.9 - REST Proxies created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

One of the more powerful features of the REST client class is the ability to produce Java interface proxies against arbitrary 3rd party REST resources.

The methods to retrieve remote interfaces are:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemote(Class) getRemote(Class<T>)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemote(Class,Object) getRemote(Class<T>,Object)} returns T
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemote(Class,Object,Serializer,Parser) getRemote(Class<T>,Object,Serializer,Parser)} returns T

Annotations are used on the interface and interface methods to specify how to convert input and output to HTTP headers, query parameters, form post parameters, or request/response bodies.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote} - Applied to interface class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp} - Applied to interface methods.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response}

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemotePost("/pets") Pet addPet( @Content CreatePet createPet, @Header("E-Tag") UUID etag, @Query("debug") boolean debug ); }

// Use a RestClient with default Simple JSON support. RestClient client = RestClient.create().simpleJson().build(); // Instantiate our proxy interface. PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class, "http://localhost:10000"); // Use it to create a pet. CreatePet createPet = new CreatePet("Fluffy", 9.99); Pet pet = store.addPet(createPet, UUID.randomUUID(), true);

The call above translates to the following REST call:

POST http://localhost:10000/petstore/pets?debug=true HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json E-Tag: 475588d4-0b27-4f56-9296-cc683251d314 { name: 'Fluffy', price: 9.99 }

The @RemoteOp annotations can be eliminated if you use specific naming conventions on your method names to identify the HTTP method and path.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { // @RemoteOp optional since method and path is inferred from method name. String postPets(@Content CreatePet pet); }

##### 10.9.1 - @Remote updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote @Remote} annotation is used on your interface class to identify it as a REST proxy interface.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#path path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#headers headers}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#version version}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#versionHeader versionHeader}

The @Remote annotation is optional, but often included for code readability.

##### @Remote(path)

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#path @Remote(path)} annotation is used to define the HTTP path of the REST service.

The path can be an absolute path to your REST service.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="http://localhost:10000/petstore") public interface PetStore {...}

PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class);

{@doc jm.DefaultVarResolver} can also be used in the path.

##### Example:

// URL is specified via a system property. @Remote(path="$S{PetStoreUrl}") public interface PetStore {...}

When a relative path is specified, it's relative to the root-url defined on the RestClient used to instantiate the interface.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore {...}

RestClient client = RestClient .create() .json() .rootUrl("http://localhost:10000") .build(); PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class);

When no path is specified, the root-url defined on the RestClient is used.

##### Example:

@Remote public interface PetStore {...}

RestClient client = RestClient .create() .json() .rootUrl("http://localhost:10000/petstore") .build(); PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class);

##### @Remote(headers/headerList)

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#headers @Remote(headers)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#headerList @Remote(headerList)} annotations are used to add headers on all requests.

##### Example:

@Remote( path="/petstore", headers={ "Foo: bar", "Baz: $S{bazProperty}" }, headerList=MyHeaderList.class ) public interface PetStore {...}

// Our dynamic supplier. public class MyHeaderList extends HeaderList { ... }

##### @Remote(version/versionHeader)

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#version @Remote(version)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#versionHeader @Remote(versionHeader)} annotations are used to specify the client-side version of this interface that can be used on the server side to perform version-specific handling.

##### Example:

@Remote( path="/petstore", version="1.2.3" // Adds "Client-Version: 1.2.3" header to all requests. ) public interface PetStore {...}

This can be used in conjunction with the server-side client-versioning support.

// Call this method if Client-Version is at least 2.0. // Note that this also matches 2.0.1. @RestGet(clientVersion="2.0") public Object foo() {...} // Call this method if Client-Version is at least 1.1, but less than 2.0. @RestGet(clientVersion="[1.1,2.0)") public Object foo() {...} // Call this method if Client-Version is less than 1.1. @RestGet(clientVersion="[0,1.1)") public Object foo() {...}

- {@doc jrs.ClientVersioning}

##### 10.9.2 - @RemoteOp updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp @RemoteOp} annotation is applied to methods of @Remote-annotated interfaces to identify REST endpoints.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp#method method}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp#path path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp#returns returns}

##### @RemoteOp(method/path)

The HTTP method and path are mapped to a Java method using the method and path annotations.

##### Example:

@Remote public interface PetStore { // GET /pets/{petId} @RemoteGet("/pets/{petId}") Pet getPet(@Path("petId") int id); }

The Java method name can be anything.

##### Inferred method/path

In such cases, method and path annotations are optional if you follow certain naming conventions on your method that identify the method and path.

For example, the getPet method below defaults to GET /pet:

@Remote public interface PetStore { // GET /pet @RemoteOp Pet getPet(...); }

In such cases, the @RemoteOp annotation is optional.

Method names matching the following pattern are assumed to be implying the HTTP method name:

(get|put|post|delete|options|head|connect|trace|patch).*

do(?i)(get|put|post|delete|options|head|connect|trace|patch)

##### Examples:

Java method name | Inferred HTTP method | Inferred HTTP path
--- | --- | ---
getPet() | GET | /pet
get() | GET | /
postPet() | POST | /pet
fooPet() | [default] | /fooPet
doGet() | GET | /
doGET() | GET | /
doFoo() | [default] | /doFoo

##### @RemoteOp(returns)

The return type of the Java methods of can be any of the following:

- void/{@link java.lang.Void} - Don't parse any response.
  Note that the method will still throw a runtime exception if an error HTTP status is returned.
- Any {@doc jm.PojoCategories parsable} POJO - The body of the response will be converted to the POJO using the parser defined on the RestClient based on the Content-Type of the response.
- Any {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response @Response}-annotated type. (described later)
- HttpResponse - Returns the raw HttpResponse returned by the inner HttpClient.
- {@link java.io.Reader} - Returns access to the raw reader of the response.
- {@link java.io.InputStream} - Returns access to the raw input stream of the response.
- A {@link java.util.concurrent.Future} or {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture} of anything on this list.

If you're only interested in the HTTP status code of the response, you can use the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp#returns() returns} annotation with a value of {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteReturn#STATUS STATUS}:

##### Example:

@Remote public interface PetStore { // POST /pets // Returns HTTP status code. @RemotePost(returns=STATUS) int pets(...); }

If your RestClient does not have a parser associated with it, then the value is converted directly from a String using the rules defined in {@doc jm.PojoCategories}.

##### 10.9.3 - @Content updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content @Content} annotation can be applied to arguments of @RemoteOp-annotated methods to denote that they are the HTTP body of the request.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content#schema() schema}

##### Examples:

// Used on parameter @Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemotePost("/pets") String addPet(@Content Pet pet); }

// Used on class @Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemotePost("/pets") String addPet(Pet pet); } @Content public class Pet {...}

The argument can be any of the following types:

- Any serializable POJO - Converted to output using the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer} registered with the RestClient.
  Content-Type is set to that of the Serializer.
- {@link java.io.Reader} - Raw contents of {@code Reader} will be serialized to remote resource.
  Content-Type is set to "text/plain".
- {@link java.io.InputStream} - Raw contents of {@code InputStream} will be serialized to remote resource.
  Content-Type is set to "application/octet-stream".
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} - Converted to a URL-encoded FORM post.
  Content-Type is set to "aplication/x-www-form-urlencoded".
- HttpEntity - Bypass Juneau serialization and pass HttpEntity directly to HttpClient.

OpenAPI schema based serialization can be used by using the {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} class.

@RemotePost("/comma-delimited-pipe-delimited-ints") String addCommaDelimitedPipeDelimitedInts( @Content( serializer=OpenApiSerializer.class, schema=@Schema( type="array", collectionFormat="pipes", items=@Items( type="array" items=@SubItems( type="int32", // Auto-validates on client side! minimum="0", maximum="64" ) ) ) ) int[][] input );

// Same as above but using free-form schema. // Format is simplified-JSON (outer {} brackets are optional). @RemotePost("/comma-delimited-pipe-delimited-ints") String addCommaDelimitedPipeDelimitedInts( @Content( serializer=OpenApiSerializer.class, schema=@Schema( "type:'array',collectionFormat:'pipes',items:[type:'array',items:[type:'int32',minimum:0,maximum:64]]" ) ) int[][] input );

See {@doc jm.OpenApiSerializers} for information about supported data types in OpenAPI serialization.

If your RestClient class does not have a serializer associated with it, the body will automatically be serialized to a string using the rules defined in {@doc jm.PojoCategories}.

##### 10.9.4 - @FormData updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData @FormData} annotation can be applied to arguments of @RemoteOp-annotated methods to denote that they are form-data parameters on the request.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData#name() name} - Form data entry name.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData#serializer() serializer} - Override the part serializer.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/myproxy") public interface MyProxy { // Explicit names specified for form data parameters. @RemotePost String postParameters( @FormData("foo") String foo, @FormData("bar") MyPojo pojo ); // Multiple values pulled from a PartList object. // Name "*" is inferred. @RemotePost String postPartList(@FormData PartList partList); // Multiple values pulled from a Map. @RemotePost String postMap(@FormData Map<String,Object> map); // Multiple values pulled from a bean. @RemotePost String postBean(@FormData MyBean bean); // An entire form-data HTTP body as a String. @RemotePost String postString(@FormData String string); // An entire form-data HTTP body as a Reader. @RemotePost String postReader(@FormData Reader reader); }

Single-part arguments (i.e. those with name != "*") can be any of the following types:

- Any serializable POJO - Converted to a string using the {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} registered with the RestClient ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default) or associated via the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData#serializer() @FormData(serializer)} annotation.

Multi-part arguments (i.e. those with name == "*" or empty) can be any of the following types:

- {@link java.io.Reader} - Raw contents of {@code Reader} will be serialized to remote resource.
- {@link java.io.InputStream} - Raw contents of {@code InputStream} will be serialized to remote resource.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} - Converted to a URL-encoded FORM post.
- Map - Converted to key-value pairs.
  Values serialized using the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default).
- Bean - Converted to key-value pairs.
  Values serialized using the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default).
- CharSequence - Used directly as am "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" entity.

See the link below for information about supported data types in OpenAPI serialization.

- {@doc jm.OpenApiSerializers}

##### 10.9.5 - @Query updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query @Query} annotation can be applied to arguments of @RemoteOp-annotated methods to denote that they are query parameters on the request.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query#name() name} - Query parameter name.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query#serializer() serializer} - Override the part serializer.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/myproxy") public interface MyProxy { // Explicit names specified for query parameters. @RemoteGet String parameters( @Query("foo") String foo, @Query("bar") MyPojo pojo); // Multiple values pulled from a PartList object. // Same as @Query("*"). @RemoteGet String partList(@Query PartList partList); // Multiple values pulled from a Map. // Same as @Query("*"). @RemoteGet String map(@Query Map<String,Object> map); // Multiple values pulled from a bean. // Same as @Query("*"). @RemoteGet String bean(@Query MyBean myBean); // An entire query string as a String. // Same as @Query("*"). @RemoteGet String string(@Query String string); // An entire query string as a Reader. // Same as @Query("*"). @RemoteGet String reader(@Query Reader reader); }

Single-part arguments (i.e. those with name != "*") can be any of the following types:

- Any serializable POJO - Converted to a string using the {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} registered with the RestClient ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default) or associated via the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query#serializer() @Query(serializer)} annotation.

Multi-part arguments (i.e. those with name == "*" or empty) can be any of the following types:

- {@link java.io.Reader} - Raw contents of {@code Reader} will be serialized directly a query string.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.part.PartList} - Serialized as individual query parameters.
- Map - Converted to key-value pairs.
  Values serialized using the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default).

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path#name() name} - Path variable name.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path#serializer() serializer} - Override the part serializer.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/myproxy") public interface MyProxy { // Explicit names specified for path parameters. // pojo will be converted to UON notation (unless plain-text parts enabled). @RemoteGet("/mymethod1/{foo}/{bar}") String myProxyMethod1(@Path("foo") String foo, @Path("bar") MyPojo pojo); // Multiple values pulled from a PartList object. // Same as @Path("*"). @RemoteGet("/mymethod2/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}") String myProxyMethod2(@Path PartList partList); // Multiple values pulled from a Map. // Same as @Path("*"). @RemoteGet("/mymethod3/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}") String myProxyMethod3(@Path Map<String,Object> map); // Multiple values pulled from a bean. // Same as @Path("*"). @RemoteGet("/mymethod4/{foo}/{bar}/{baz}") String myProxyMethod4(@Path MyBean myBean); }

Single-part arguments (i.e. those with name != "*") can be any of the following types:

- Any serializable POJO - Converted to a string using the {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} registered with the RestClient ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default) or associated via the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path#serializer() @Path(serializer)} annotation.

  Values serialized using the registered {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer} ({@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiSerializer} by default).

See the link below for information about supported data types in OpenAPI serialization.

- {@doc jm.OpenApiSerializers}

##### 10.9.8 - @Request updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request @Request} annotation can be applied to a type of a @RemoteOp-annotated method to identify it as a bean for setting HTTP parts through a bean-like interface.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request#serializer() serializer} - Override the part serializer.

##### Example:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemotePost String postPet(CreatePetRequest bean); }

@Request public class CreatePetRequest { private CreatePet pet; public CreatePetRequest(String name, float price) { this.pet = new CreatePet(name, price); } @Content public CreatePet getContent() { return this.pet; } @Query public Map<String,Object> getQueryParams() { return AMap.of("debug", true); } @Header("E-Tag") public static UUID getUUID() { return UUID.generatedUUID(); } }

PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class, "http://localhost:10000"); CreatePetRequest requestBean = new CreatePetRequest("Fluffy", 9.99); String response = store.postPet(requestBean);

The @Request annotation can be applied to either the class or argument.

The annotated methods must be no-arg and public. They can be named anything.

Any of the following annotations can be used on the methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}

The behavior and functionality of all of the annotations are the same as if they were used on method arguments directly. This means full support for OpenAPI serialization and validation.

Annotations on methods are inherited from parent classes and interfaces. For example, the request bean above could have defined annotations in an interface to keep them clear from the implementation:

@Request public interface CreatePetRequest { @Content CreatePet getContent(); @Query Map<String,Object> getQueryParams(); @Header("E-Tag") UUID getUUID(); }

public class CreatePetRequestImpl implements CreatePetRequest { public CreatePetRequestImpl(String name, float price) {...} @Override public CreatePet getContent() { return this.pet; } @Override public Map<String,Object> getQueryParams() { return JsonMap.of("debug", true); } @Override public UUID getUUID() { return UUID.generateUUID(); } }

##### 10.9.9 - @Response updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response @Response} annotation can be applied to types returned by @RemoteOp-annotated methods.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Response#parser() parser} - Override the part parser.

The @Response annotation can be used to define interfaces for retrieving response parts using a bean-like proxy.

##### Example:

@Remote public interface PetStore { @RemotePost CreatePetResponse postPet(...); }

@Response public interface CreatePetResponse { @Content Pet getContent(); @Header("E-Tag") UUID getUUID(); @StatusCode int getStatus(); }

PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class, "http://localhost:10000"); CreatePetResponse response = store.postPet(...); Pet pet = response.getContent(); UUID uuid = response.getUUID(); int status = response.getStatus();

The annotated methods must be no-arg. They can be named anything.

Any of the following annotations can be used on the methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Content}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.StatusCode}

The behavior and functionality of all of the annotations are the same as if they were used on method arguments directly. This means full support for OpenAPI serialization and validation.

##### 10.9.10 - Dual-purpose (end-to-end) interfaces created: 8.0.0

A common coding practice is to use the same Java interface to define both your server and client side REST interfaces. The advantage to this approach is that changes that you make to your REST interface can be reflected in both places at the same time, reducing the chances for compatibility mistakes.

What makes this possible is that method-level annotations such as @RestOp and parameter-level annotations such as @Query are inherited from parent classes. This normally isn't possible, but the framework will spider up the parent hierarchy of classes to find method and parameter level annotations defined on overridden methods.

The general approach is to define your {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote @Remote}-annotated interface first. The following example is pulled from the PetStore app:

@Remote(path="/petstore") public interface PetStore { @RemoteGet("/pet") public Collection<Pet> getPets() throws NotAcceptable; @RemotDelete("/pet/{petId}") public Ok deletePet( @Header( name="api_key", description="Security API key", required=true, example="foobar" ) String apiKey, @Path( name="petId", description="Pet id to delete", example="123" ) long petId ) throws IdNotFound, NotAcceptable; ...

Next you define the implementation of your interface as a normal Juneau REST resource:

@Rest( path="/petstore", title="Petstore application", ... ) public class PetStoreResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalJenaConfig, PetStore { ... @Override /* PetStore */ @RestOp( method=GET, path="/pet", summary="All pets in the store", ... ) public Collection<Pet> getPets() throws NotAcceptable { return store.getPets(); } @Override /* PetStore */ @RestOp( method=DELETE, path="/pet/{petId}", summary="Deletes a pet", ... ) public Ok deletePet(String apiKey, long petId) throws IdNotFound, NotAcceptable { store.removePet(petId); return OK; }

Then use the interface as a remote resource like so:

RestClient client = RestClient.create().json().rootUrl("http://localhost:10000").build(); PetStore store = client.getRemote(PetStore.class); for (Pet pet : store.getPets()) { store.deletePet("my-special-key", pet.getId()); System.err.println("Deleted pet: id=" + pet.getId()); }

In the example above, we chose to add the @RestOp annotation to the implementation class. However, they could have been added to the interface instead. It's personal preference where you want to place the annotations.

Note how we didn't need to use the @Header and @Path annotations in our implementation since the annotations were inherited from the interface.

### 10.10 - Logging and Debugging created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

The following methods provide logging of requests and responses:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#logger(Logger) logger(Logger)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#logToConsole() logToConsole()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#logRequests(DetailLevel,Level,BiPredicate) logRequests(DetailLevel,Level,BiPredicate)}

The following example shows the results of logging all requests that end with /bean.

##### Examples:

// A simple bean we're going to round-trip. MyBean bean = new MyBean(); bean = RestClient .create() .simpleJson() .logRequests(DetailLevel.FULL, Level.SEVERE, (req,res)->req.getUri().endsWith("/bean")) .logToConsole() .build() .post("http://localhost/bean", bean) .run() .getContent().as(MyBean.class);

This produces the following console output:

=== HTTP Call (outgoing) ====================================================== === REQUEST === POST http://localhost/bean ---request headers--- Accept: application/json+simple ---request entity--- Content-Type: application/json+simple ---request content--- {f:1} === RESPONSE === HTTP/1.1 200 ---response headers--- Content-Type: application/json ---response content--- {f:1} === END =======================================================================",

It should be noted that if you enable request logging detail level {@link org.apache.juneau.DetailLevel#FULL}, response bodies will be cached by default which may introduce a performance penalty.

Additionally, the following method is also provided for enabling debug mode:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#debug() debug()}

Enabling debug mode has the following effects:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#logToConsole()} is called.

### 10.11 - Customizing HttpClient created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

Several methods are provided for customizing the underlying HTTP client and client builder classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#httpClientBuilder(HttpClientBuilder) httpClientBuilder(HttpClientBuilder)} - Set the client builder yourself.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#createHttpClientBuilder() createHttpClientBuilder()} - Override to create the client builder.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#createHttpClient() createHttpClient()} - Override to create the client.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#createConnectionManager() createConnectionManager()} - Override to create the connection management.

Additionally, all methods on the HttpClientBuilder class have been extended with fluent setters.

##### Example:

// Create a client with customized HttpClient settings. MyBean bean = RestClient .create() .disableRedirectHandling() .connectionManager(myConnectionManager) .addInterceptorFirst(myHttpRequestInterceptor) .build();

Refer to the {@code org.apache.http.client.impl.HttpClientBuilder} docs for more information.

### 10.12 - Extending RestClient created: 8.2.0

The RestClient API has been designed to allow for the ability to be easily extended. The following example that overrides the primary run method shows how this can be done.

##### Example:

public class MyRestClient extends RestClient { // Must provide this constructor! public MyRestClient(ContextProperties ps) { super(ps); } @Override public HttpResponse run(HttpHost target, HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws IOException { // Perform special handling of requests. } } // Instantiate your client. MyRestClient client = RestClient.create().json().build(MyRestClient.class);

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequest} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestResponse} objects can also be extended and integrated by overriding the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#createRequest(URI, String, boolean)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#createResponse(RestRequest, HttpResponse, Parser)} methods.

### 10.13 - Authentication updated: 8.2.0

The Juneau REST client itself does not implement any support for authentication. Instead, it delegates it to the underlying Apache HTTP Client interface.

The following sections show how some common authentication mechanisms can be set up using HTTP Client APIs.

##### 10.13.1 - BASIC Authentication

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#basicAuth(String,int,String,String)} method can be used to quickly enable BASIC authentication support.

##### Example:

// Create a client that performs BASIC authentication using the specified user/pw. RestClient client = RestClient.create() .basicAuth(HOST, PORT, USER, PW) .build();

This is functionally equivalent to the following:

RestClient.Builder builder = RestClient.create(); AuthScope scope = new AuthScope(HOST, PORT); Credentials up = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(USER, PW); CredentialsProvider provider = new BasicCredentialsProvider(); provider.setCredentials(scope, up); builder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(provider);

##### 10.13.2 - FORM-based Authentication

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} class does not itself provide FORM-based authentication since there is no standard way of providing such support. Typically, to perform FORM-based or other types of authentication, you'll want to create your own subclass of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} and override the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#createHttpClient()} method to provide an authenticated client.

The following example shows an implementation of a client that performs FORM-based authentication against the IBM Jazz platform.

/** * Constructor. */ public JazzRestClient.Builder(URI jazzUri, String user, String pw) throws IOException { ... } /** * Override the createHttpClient() method to return an authenticated client. */ @Override /* RestClient.Builder */ protected CloseableHttpClient createHttpClient() throws Exception { CloseableHttpClient client = super.createHttpClient(); formBasedAuthenticate(client); visitAuthenticatedURL(client); return client; } /* * Performs form-based authentication against the Jazz server. */ private void formBasedAuthenticate(HttpClient client) throws IOException { URI uri2 = jazzUri.resolve("j_security_check"); HttpPost request = new HttpPost(uri2); request.setConfig(RequestConfig.custom().setRedirectsEnabled(false).build()); // Charset must explicitly be set to UTF-8 to handle user/pw with non-ascii characters. request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"); List<NameValuePair> params = AList.of( BasicNameValuePair.of("j_username"", user), BasicNameValuePair.of("j_password", pw) ); request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params)); HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); try { int rc = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); Header authMsg = response.getFirstHeader("X-com-ibm-team-repository-web-auth-msg"); if (authMsg != null) throw new IOException(authMsg.getValue()); // The form auth request should always respond with a 200 ok or 302 redirect code if (rc == SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY) { if (response.getFirstHeader("Location").getValue().isPattern("^.*/auth/authfailed.*$")) throw new IOException("Invalid credentials."); } else if (rc != SC_OK) { throw new IOException("Unexpected HTTP status: " + rc); } } finally { EntityUtils.consume(response.getEntity()); } } /* * This is needed for Tomcat because it responds with SC_BAD_REQUEST when the j_security_check URL is visited before an * authenticated URL has been visited. This same URL must also be visited after authenticating with j_security_check * otherwise tomcat will not consider the session authenticated */ private int visitAuthenticatedURL(HttpClient httpClient) throws IOException { HttpGet authenticatedURL = new HttpGet(jazzUri.resolve("authenticated/identity")); HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(authenticatedURL); try { return response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); } finally { EntityUtils.consume(response.getEntity()); } }

##### 10.13.3 - OIDC Authentication

The following example shows an implementation of a client that performs OIDC authentication against the IBM Jazz platform.

/** * Constructor. */ public JazzRestClient.Builder(URI jazzUri, String user, String pw) throws IOException { ... } /** * Override the createHttpClient() method to return an authenticated client. */ @Override /* RestClient.Builder */ protected CloseableHttpClient createHttpClient() throws Exception { CloseableHttpClient client = super.createHttpClient(); oidcAuthenticate(client); return client; } private void oidcAuthenticate(HttpClient client) throws IOException { HttpGet request = new HttpGet(jazzUri); request.setConfig(RequestConfig.custom().setRedirectsEnabled(false).build()); // Charset must explicitly be set to UTF-8 to handle user/pw with non-ascii characters. request.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"); HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); try { int code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); // Already authenticated if (code == SC_OK) return; if (code != SC_UNAUTHORIZED) throw new RestCallException("Unexpected response during OIDC authentication: " + response.getStatusLine()); // x-jsa-authorization-redirect String redirectUri = getHeader(response, "X-JSA-AUTHORIZATION-REDIRECT"); if (redirectUri == null) throw new RestCallException("Expected a redirect URI during OIDC authentication: " + response.getStatusLine()); // Handle Bearer Challenge HttpGet method = new HttpGet(redirectUri + "&prompt=none"); addDefaultOidcHeaders(method); response = client.execute(method); code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); if (code != SC_OK) throw new RestCallException("Unexpected response during OIDC authentication phase 2: " + response.getStatusLine()); String loginRequired = getHeader(response, "X-JSA-LOGIN-REQUIRED"); if (! "true".equals(loginRequired)) throw new RestCallException("X-JSA-LOGIN-REQUIRED header not found on response during OIDC authentication phase 2: " + response.getStatusLine()); method = new HttpGet(redirectUri + "&prompt=none"); addDefaultOidcHeaders(method); response = client.execute(method); code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); if (code != SC_OK) throw new RestCallException("Unexpected response during OIDC authentication phase 3: " + response.getStatusLine()); // Handle JAS Challenge method = new HttpGet(redirectUri); addDefaultOidcHeaders(method); response = client.execute(method); code = response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode(); if (code != SC_OK) throw new RestCallException("Unexpected response during OIDC authentication phase 4: " + response.getStatusLine()); cookie = getHeader(response, "Set-Cookie"); Header[] defaultHeaders = new Header[] { BasicStringHeader.of("User-Agent", "Jazz Native Client"), BasicStringHeader.of("X-com-ibm-team-configuration-versions", "com.ibm.team.rtc=6.0.0,com.ibm.team.jazz.foundation=6.0"), BasicStringHeader.of("Accept", "text/json"), BasicStringHeader.of("Authorization", "Basic " + StringUtils.base64EncodeToString(user + ":" + pw)), BasicStringHeader.of("Cookie", cookie) }; setDefaultHeaders(AList.of(defaultHeaders)); } finally { EntityUtils.consume(response.getEntity()); } } private void addDefaultOidcHeaders(HttpRequestBase method) { method.addHeader("User-Agent", "Jazz Native Client"); method.addHeader("X-com-ibm-team-configuration-versions", "com.ibm.team.rtc=6.0.0,com.ibm.team.jazz.foundation=6.0"); method.addHeader("Accept", "text/json"); if (cookie != null) { method.addHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + StringUtils.base64EncodeToString(user + ":" + pw)); method.addHeader("Cookie", cookie); } }

## 11 - juneau-rest-mock created: 8.1.0, updated: 8.2.0

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-rest-mock</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-rest-mock-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.rest.mock_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

The juneau-rest-mock module contains convenience APIs for performing serverless unit testing of your REST APIs. Each of the APIs provide the ability to fully test your server and client REST interfaces without the need for a running servlet container.

### 11.1 - MockRestClient created: 8.2.0, updated: 9.0.0

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} class is used for performing serverless unit testing of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated and {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote @Remote}-annotated classes.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} itself extends from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} providing it with the rich feature set of that API. The following shows a simple example of invoking a PUT method on a simple REST interface and asserting the correct status code and response body:

public class MockTest { // A simple bean with one field. public static class MyBean { public int foo = 1; } // Our REST resource to test. // Simply echos the response. @Rest public static class EchoRest implements BasicRestServlet { @RestPut public MyBean echo(@Content MyBean bean) { return bean; } } // Our JUnit test. @Test public void testEcho() throws Exception { MyBean myBean = new MyBean(); // Do a round-trip on the bean through the REST interface myBean = MockRestClient .create(EchoRest.class) .simpleJson() .build() .put("/echo", myBean) .run() .assertStatus().is(200) .assertContent().is("{foo:1}") .getContent().as(MyBean.class); assertEquals(1, myBean.foo); } }

Breaking apart the fluent method call above will help you understand how this works.

@Test public void testEcho() throws Exception { // Instantiate our mock client. MockRestClient client = MockRestClient .create(EchoRest.class) .simpleJson() .build(); // Create a request. RestRequest req = client.put("/echo", myBean); // Execute it (by calling RestCallHandler.service(...) and then returning the response object). RestResponse res = req.run(); // Run assertion tests on the results. res.assertStatus().is(200); res.assertContent().is("'foo'"); myBean = res.getContent().as(MyBean.class); }

The concept of the design is simple. The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} class is used to create instances of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockServletRequest} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockServletResponse} which are passed directly to the call handler on the resource class {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestOpInvoker#invoke(RestOpSession)}. In effect, you're fully testing your REST API as if it were running in a live servlet container, yet not actually having to run in a servlet container. All aspects of the client and server side code are tested, yet no servlet container is required. The actual over-the-wire transmission is the only aspect being bypassed.

The create(Object) method can take in either Class objects or pre-instantiated beans. The latter is particularly useful for testing REST APIs written as Spring beans.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration(classes = {MyApp.class}) @SpringBootTest public class MockTest { @Autowired EchoRest echoRest; MockRestClient client; @Before public void setup() { // Instantiate our mock client. client = MockRestClient .create(echoRest) .simpleJson() .build(); } // Our JUnit test. @Test public void testEcho() throws Exception { MyBean myBean = new MyBean(); // Do a round-trip on the bean through the REST interface myBean = client .put("/echo", myBean) .run() .assertStatus().is(200) .assertContent().is("{foo:1}") .getContent().as(MyBean.class); assertEquals(1, myBean.foo); } }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestRequest} object has convenience methods provided to allow you to set properties directly on the underlying {@link javax.servlet.HttpServletRequest} object. The following example shows how this can be used to directly set roles on the request object to perform security testing.

##### Example:

@Rest(roleGuard="ADMIN") public class A { @RestGet public String get() { return "OK"; } } @Test public void mytest() throws Exception { MockRestClient client = MockRestClient.build(A.class); // Admin user should get 200, but anyone else should get 403-Unauthorized. client.get().roles("ADMIN").run().assertStatus().is(200); client.get().roles("USER").run().assertStatus().is(403); }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} class has a debug mode that will cause your HTTP requests and responses to be sent to the console:

MockRestClient client = MockRestClient .create(MyRest.class) .debug() .simpleJson() .build();

The {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.mock.MockRestClient} class can also be used for testing of {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote}-annotated interfaces against {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated resources.

##### Example:

// Our remote resource to test. @Remote public interface MyRemoteInterface { @RemoteGet("/echoQuery") public int echoQuery(@Query(name="id") int id); } // Our mocked-up REST interface to test against. @Rest public class MyRest { @RestGet public int echoQuery(@Query("id") String id) { return id; } } @Test public void testProxy() { MyRemoteInterface mri = MockRestClient .create(MyRest.class) .json() .build() .getRemote(MyRemoteInterface.class); assertEquals(123, mri.echoQuery(123)); }

## 12 - juneau-microservice-core created: 8.1.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Juneau Microservice libraries are likely to be removed in Juneau 9.0 due to the popularity of the Spring Boot framework for creating microservices and the ability for Juneau to be used within Spring Boot.

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-microservice-core</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-microservice-core-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.microservice.core_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

Juneau Microservice is an API for creating stand-alone executable jars with automatic support for Juneau configurations and console commands.

Features include:

- A builder-based API for defining and starting microservices.
- An extensible API that allows you to hook into various lifecycle events.
- Simple-to-use APIs for accessing manifest file entries, command-line arguments, and external configuration file properties.

### 12.1 - Microservice Overview created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Microservice API consists of a base class for defining executable microservices.

Features include:

- A builder-based API for defining and starting microservices.
- An extensible API that allows you to hook into various lifecycle events.
- Simple-to-use APIs for accessing manifest file entries, command-line arguments, and external configuration file properties.

The Microservice API consists of the following packages and classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} - The base microservice class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder} - Builder for the microservice class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener} - Interface for hooking into lifecyle events of the microservice.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.BasicMicroserviceListener} - Adapter for MicroserviceListener class.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand} - Abstract class for defining console commands.

By itself the Microservice API doesn't provided much functionality, but it does provide the basis for the {@doc juneau-microservice-jetty Jetty Microservice} described later.

The most-basic creation of a microservice from an entry-point method is shown below:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { Microservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. ; } }

### 12.2 - Lifecycle Methods created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The lifecycle methods of the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} class consists of the following:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#start() start()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#startConsole() startConsole()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#join() join()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#stop() stop()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#stopConsole() stopConsole()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#exit() exit()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#kill() kill()}

A typical implementation of an app with lifecycle methods might look like the following:

public class App { private static final Microservice MICROSERVICE; public static void main(String[] args) { MICROSERVICE = Microservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. .startConsole() // Start console. .join() // Join thread. ; } public static void restart() { MICROSERVICE.stop().start(); } public static void exit() { MICROSERVICE.exit(); } }

If your application consists of a single microservice, you can use the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getInstance()} method from anywhere in your code:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { Microservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. .startConsole() // Start console. .join() // Join thread. ; } public static void restart() { Microservice.getInstance().stop().start(); } public static void exit() { Microservice.getInstance().exit(); } }

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#startConsole()} and {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#stopConsole()} control the lifecycle of the console commands. Typically you'll want to control these separately from the app so that you can easily restart your application from the console without affecting the console itself.

The lifecycle methods on the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} class are purposely left non-final so that subclasses can override them to provide customized behavior.

### 12.3 - Args created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

Command-line arguments can be associated with a microservice using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#args(String...)} method.

##### Example:

public static void main(String[] args) { Microservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. .join() // Join thread. ; }

When specified, the arguments can be retrieved using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getArgs()} method which provides an API for easily accessing command-line arguments using common notation:

Args args = Microservice.getInstance().getArgs(); // One main argument // a1 String a1 = args.getArg(0); // "a1" String a2 = args.getArg(1); // null // Two main arguments // a1 a2 String a1 = args.getArg(0); // "a1" String a2 = args.getArg(1); // "a2" // One main argument and one optional argument with no value // a1 -a2 String argsa1 = args.getArg(0); boolean hasA2 = args.hasArg("a2"); // true boolean hasA3 = args.hasArg("a3"); // false // One main argument and one optional argument with one value // a1 -a2 v2 String a1 = args.getArg(0); String a2 = args.getArg("a2"); // "v2" String a3 = args.getArg("a3"); // null // One main argument and one optional argument with two values // a1 -a2 v2a v2b String a1 = args.getArg(0); List<String> a2 = args.getArgs("a2"); // Contains ["v2a","v2b"] List<String> a3 = args.getArgs("a3"); // Empty list // Same as previous, except specify optional argument name multiple times // a1 -a2 v2a -a2 v2b String a1 = args.getArg(0); List<String> a2 = args.getArgs("a2"); // Contains ["v2a","v2b"]

Specifying the command-line arguments also makes them available through {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ArgsVar $A} SVL variables. These can be used in the configuration file and throughout various Juneau annotations.

##### Example:

// $A used in variable resolver. VarResolver varResolver = Microservice.getInstance().getVarResolver(); System.out.println(varResolver.resolve("Arg #1 is set to $A{1}"));

// $A used in annotation. @Rest( title="$A{title}", ... )

### 12.4 - Manifest created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#manifest(Object)} method can be used to specify the contents or location of of the main manifest file of the executable jar.

If you do not specify the location/contents of the manifest file, the microservice will attempt to resolve it through the following methods:

1. Looking on the file system for a file at "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF". This is primarily to allow for running microservices from within eclipse workspaces where the manifest file is located in the project root.
2. Using the class loader for this class to find the file at the URL "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF".

If you do manually specify the manifest file, you can pass in any of the following types:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.utils.ManifestFile} - A pre-parsed manifest file.
- {@link java.util.jar.Manifest} - A pre-parsed manifest file.
- {@link java.io.Reader} - Containing the raw contents of the manifest.
- {@link java.io.InputStream} - Containing the raw contents of the manifest.
- {@link java.io.File} - File containing the raw contents of the manifest.
- {@link java.lang.String} - Path to file containing the raw contents of the manifest.
- {@link java.lang.Class} - Finds and loads the manifest file of the jar file that the specified class is contained within.

The manifest file can be retrieved using the the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getManifest()} method which provides an API for accessing manifest file entries. This method returns an instance of {@link org.apache.juneau.utils.ManifestFile} which extends from {@link org.apache.juneau.collections.JsonMap} allowing you to retrieve entries as any data types supported by that class.

##### Example:

ManifestFile manifestFile = Microservice.getInstance().getManifest(); String mainClass = manifestFile.getString("Main-Class"); int myInt = manifestFile.getInt("My-Int", 123); boolean myBoolean = manifestFile.getBoolean("My-Boolean");

The manifest is also used for the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ManifestFileVar $MF} SVL variable.

##### Examples:

// $MF used in variable resolver. VarResolver var = Microservice.getInstance().getVarResolver(); System.out.println(vr.resolve("The main class is $MF{Main-Class}"));

// $MF used in annotation. @Rest( title="$MF{Application-Title}", ... )

### 12.5 - Config created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The following methods can be used to define the configuration for your microservice using the powerful Config API:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#config(Config) config(Config)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#configName(String) configName(String)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#configStore(ConfigStore) configStore(ConfigStore)}

If you do not specify any of this information, we attempt to resolve it through the following methods:

1. Resolve file first in working directory, then in classpath, using the following names:
   1. The "configFile" argument in the command line arguments passed in through the constructor.
   2. The value of the Main-Config entry in the manifest file.
   3. A config file in the same location and with the same name as the executable jar file. (e.g. "java -jar myjar.jar" will look for "myjar.cfg").
2. Resolve any "*.cfg" file that can be found in the working directory.
3. Resolve any of the following files in the classpath:
   1. juneau.cfg
   2. default.cfg
   3. application.cfg
   4. app.cfg
   5. settings.cfg

If no configuration file is found, and empty in-memory configuration is used.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#configName(String) configName(String)} method allows you to explicitly specify the name of the external configuration file location for your microservice.

Microservice .create() .config("my-files/MyMicroservice.cfg") .build() .start() ;

By default, we try to find the file on the file system and then the classpath. If located on the file system, then the configuration is writeable and the microservice can automatically listen for and react to changes in the configuration file on the file system. If located on the classpath, then the configuration can still react to modifications made to it through the Config API, but the changes cannot be persisted since the location prevents the file from being modified.

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#configStore(ConfigStore) configStore(ConfigStore)} method can be used to explicitly specify a configuration store. This can include your own custom configuration store, such as one that's implemented in a relational database.

Microservice .create() .configStore(new MyConfigSqlStore()) .configName("MyConfig") .build() .start() ;

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#config(Config) config(Config)} method can be used to explicitly specify a {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config} file as the microservice configuration. When this method is used, the above two methods are bypassed entirely.

Config config = getMyOwnConfig(); Microservice .create() .config(config) .build() .start() ;

Once the configuration is resolved, it is made as the system default configuration available through the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.Config#getSystemDefault()}. This in turn allows it to be used by REST resources that reference the system default configuration via the "SYSTEM_DEFAULT" such as those implementing the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestConfig} interface.

##### BasicRestConfig.java

@Rest( config="$S{juneau.configFile,SYSTEM_DEFAULT}" ... )

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getConfig()} method can be used to get access to the configuration.

Config config = Microservice.getInstance().getConfig(); File logDir = config.get("Logging/logDir").as(File.class).orElse(null); boolean append = config.get("Logging/append").asBoolean().orElse(null); String format = config.get("Logging/format", "[{date} {level}] {msg}%n").orElse(null); long limit = config.get("Logging/limit").asLong().orElse(null); Map<String,Level> levels = config.get("Logging/levels").as(Map.class, String.class, Level.class).orElse(null); Changes to the configuration file can trigger notifications that can be used to restart your microservice or make various other on-the-fly changes. This can be accomplished by either overriding the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#onConfigChange(ConfigEvents)} or implementing a listener and using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener#onConfigChange(Microservice,ConfigEvents)} methods. These will be described in detail later.

- {@doc juneau-config}

### 12.6 - System properties created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

As a convenience, the SystemProperties section of your configuration file can be used to define system properties to set during initialization of your microservice:

#======================================================================================================================= # System properties #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # These are arbitrary system properties that are set during startup. #======================================================================================================================= [SystemProperties] # Configure Jetty for StdErrLog Logging # org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.class = org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.StrErrLog # Configure Jetty to log using java-util logging org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.class = org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyLogger # Jetty logging level # Possible values: ALL, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, OFF org.eclipse.jetty.LEVEL = WARN derby.stream.error.file = $C{Logging/logDir}/derby-errors.log

### 12.7 - VarResolver created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Microservice API incorporates the {@doc jm.SimpleVariableLanguage Simple Variable Language} API.

The variable resolver can be augmented through the following methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#vars(Class...) vars(Class...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#varBean(Class,Object) varBean(Class,Object)}

A typical usage pattern is shown below:

// $A used in variable resolver. VarResolver varResolver = Microservice.getInstance().getVarResolver(); System.out.println(varResolver.resolve("Main class is set to $MF{Main-Class, unknown}"));

The variable resolver becomes much more powerful when used in REST resource annotations which will be described latter in {@doc juneau-microservice-jetty}

By default, support for the following variables are provided:

- $S{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SystemPropertiesVar}
- $E{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.EnvVariablesVar}
- $A{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ArgsVar}
- $C{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar}
- $MF{key[,default]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.ManifestFileVar}
- $IF{arg,then[,else]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.IfVar}
- $SW{arg,pattern1:then1[,pattern2:then2...]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.SwitchVar}
- $CO{arg[,arg2...]} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.CoalesceVar}
- $PM{arg,pattern} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.PatternMatchVar}
- $UC{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.UpperCaseVar}
- $LC{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.LowerCaseVar}
- $NE{arg} - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.vars.NotEmptyVar}

### 12.8 - Console Commands created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Microservice API provides support for simple console commands.

public static void main(String[] args) { Microservice .create() .args(args) .build() .start() .startConsole() // Start console. .join() ; }

When started, the console renders the following output:

Running class 'Microservice' using config file 'my-microservice.cfg'. List of available commands: exit -- Shut down service restart -- Restarts service help -- Commands help >

The builder methods for controlling the console are as follows:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#consoleEnabled(boolean) consoleEnabled(boolean)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#consoleCommands(ConsoleCommand...) consoleCommands(ConsoleCommand...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#consoleCommands(Class...) consoleCommands(Class...)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#console(Scanner,PrintWriter) console(Scanner,PrintWriter)}

By default, the supported commands are pulled from the configuration file:

#======================================================================================================================= # Console settings #======================================================================================================================= [Console] enabled = true # List of available console commands. # These are classes that implements ConsoleCommand that allow you to submit commands to the microservice via # the console. # When listed here, the implementations must provide a no-arg constructor. # They can also be provided dynamically by overriding the Microservice.createConsoleCommands() method. commands = org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ExitCommand, org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.RestartCommand, org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.HelpCommand

New commands can be added by adding them to the configuration file, or programmatically using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#consoleCommands(ConsoleCommand...) consoleCommands(ConsoleCommand...)} builder method.

The API for defining console commands is shown below:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#execute(Scanner,PrintWriter,Args) execute(Scanner,PrintWriter,Args)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#getDescription() getDescription()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#getExamples() getExamples()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#getInfo() getInfo()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#getName() getName()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand#getSynopsis() getSynopsis()}

By default, the console input and output are taken from {@link java.lang.System.in} and {@link java.lang.System.out}. These can be overridden using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#console(Scanner,PrintWriter) console(Scanner,PrintWriter)} method.

### 12.9 - Listeners created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

As mentioned previously, the lifecycle methods for the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} class are explicitly defined as non-final so that they can be overridden by subclasses.

In addition to this support, an interface for defining event listeners for your microservice:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice.Builder#listener(MicroserviceListener) listener(MicroserviceListener)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener#onStart(Microservice) onStart(Microservice)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener#onStop(Microservice) onStop(Microservice)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.MicroserviceListener#onConfigChange(Microservice,ConfigEvents) onConfigChange(Microservice,ConfigEvents)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.BasicMicroserviceListener}

This listener API can be used for listening for and reacting to configuration changes on the file system.

public class MyMicroserviceListener extends BasicMicroserviceListener { @Override /* MicroserviceListener */ public void onConfigChange(Microservice microservice, ConfigEvents events) { // Restart the microservice if anything was modified in one of our sections if (events.isSectionChanged("MySection")) microservice.stop().start(); } }

Note that the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#onConfigChange(ConfigEvents)} method can also be overridden to react to configuration changes as well:

public class MyMicroservice extends Microservice { @Override /* MicroserviceListener */ public void onConfigChange(ConfigEvents events) { // Restart the microservice if anything was modified in one of our sections if (events.isSectionChanged("MySection")) this.stop().start(); } }

## 13 - juneau-microservice-jetty created: 8.1.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Juneau Microservice libraries are likely to be removed in Juneau 9.0 due to the popularity of the Spring Boot framework for creating microservices and the ability for Juneau to be used within Spring Boot.

##### Maven Dependency

<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.juneau</groupId> <artifactId>juneau-microservice-jetty</artifactId> <version>{@property juneauVersion}</version> </dependency>

##### Java Library

juneau-microservice-jetty-{@property juneauVersion}.jar

##### OSGi Module

org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty_{@property juneauVersion}.jar

Juneau Microservice Jetty is an API for creating stand-alone executable jars that can be used to start lightweight configurable REST interfaces with all the power of the Juneau REST server and client APIs.

### 13.1 - Overview created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Jetty Microservice API consists of a combination of the Juneau Core, Server, and Client APIs and an embedded Eclipse Jetty Servlet Container.

The API builds upon the {@doc juneau-microservice-core Core Microservice} classes to produce easy-to-create and easy-to-use microservices in a standard Java 1.8+ environment.

The juneau-microservice-jetty library consists of the following classes:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice} - The Jetty microservice class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder} - Builder for the microservice class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroserviceListener} - Interface for hooking into lifecyle events of the microservice.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.BasicJettyMicroserviceListener} - Adapter for JettyMicroserviceListener class.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyServerFactory} - Interface for defining custom Jetty servers.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.BasicJettyServerFactory} - Adapter for JettyServerFactory class.

The most-basic creation of a Jetty microservice from an entry-point method is shown below:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { JettyMicroservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .servlets(RootResource.class) // A Juneau RestServlet class. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. ; } }

### 13.2 - Lifecycle Methods created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

To review, the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} class contains the following lifecycle methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#start() start()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#startConsole() startConsole()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#join() join()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#stop() stop()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#stopConsole() stopConsole()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#exit() exit()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#kill() kill()}

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice} class which extends from {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} provides the following additional lifecycle methods:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice#createServer() createServer()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice#startServer() startServer()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice#destroyServer() destroyServer()}

The additional lifecycle methods are typically not called directly, but are exposed to allow subclasses to provide customized behavior for these events. For this reason, these methods are left as non-final so that they can be overridden.

A typical implementation of an app with lifecycle methods might look like the following:

public class App { private static final JettyMicroservice MICROSERVICE; public static void main(String[] args) { MICROSERVICE = JettyMicroservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .servlets(RootResource.class) // A Juneau RestServlet class. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. .startConsole() // Start console. .join() // Join thread. ; } public static void restart() { MICROSERVICE.stop().start(); } public static void exit() { MICROSERVICE.exit(); } }

Similar to {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getInstance()}, the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice#getInstance()} also allows easy access to the microservice:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { JettyMicroservice .create() // Create builder. .args(args) // Pass in args. .servlets(RootResource.class) // A Juneau RestServlet class. .build() // Create microservice. .start() // Start microservice. .startConsole() // Start console. .join() // Join thread. ; } public static void restart() { JettyMicroservice.getInstance().stop().start(); } public static void exit() { JettyMicroservice.getInstance().exit(); } }

### 13.3 - Resource Classes created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

This section describes how to define a top-level REST resource page and deploy it in our microservice. The example is a router page that serves as a jumping off page to child resources.

@Rest( path="/*", title="My Microservice", description="Top-level resources page", htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( navlinks={ "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" } ), children={ HelloWorldResource.class, ConfigResource.class, LogsResource.class } ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { // No code! }

When deployed, it looks like this in a browser:

http://localhost:10000

- The title and description annotations define the titles on the page.
  These can be globalized using $L{...} variables, or by defining specially-named properties in the properties file for the resource.
- In this case, the path annotation defines the context root of your application since it was not specified in the manifest or config file.
  Therefore, this resource is mapped to http://localhost:10000.
- The children annotation make up the list of child resources.
  These child resources can be anything that extends from Servlet, although usually they will be subclasses of {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} or other resource groups.

If you click the helloWorld link in your application, you'll get a simple hello world message:

http://localhost:10000/helloWorld

...which is generated by this class...

@Rest( path="/helloWorld", title="Hello World example", description="Simplest possible REST resource" ) public class HelloWorldResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { @RestGet("/*") public String sayHello() { return "Hello world!"; } }

The most-common case for deploying the top-level resource is to use the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder#servlet(Class)} method:

public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { JettyMicroservice .create() .args(args) .servlet(RootResources.class) // Our root resource. .build() .start() ; } }

However, there are multiple ways of deploying top-level resources:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder#servlet(Class)} - Using the builder. Several methods provided.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice#addServlet(Servlet,String)} - After the Jetty container has been started.
- As a configuration variable "Jetty/servlets".

  #======================================================================================================================= # Jetty settings #======================================================================================================================= [Jetty] # Subclasses of RestServlet servlets = org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.RootResources

- As a configuration variable "Jetty/servletMap".

  #======================================================================================================================= # Jetty settings #======================================================================================================================= [Jetty] # Any servlets and their path specs servletMap = { '/*': 'org.apache.juneau.examples.rest.RootResources' }

- Directly in the jetty.xml file.

  <Configure id="ExampleServer" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server"> ... <New id="context" class="org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler"> <Set name="contextPath">/</Set> <Call name="addServlet"> <Arg>org.apache.juneau.rest.test.Root</Arg> <Arg>/*</Arg> </Call> <Set name="sessionHandler"> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler" /> </Set> </New> ...

### 13.4 - Predefined Resource Classes created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The following predefined resource classes are also provided for easy inclusion into your microservice:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.resources.ConfigResource} - View and modify the external INI config file.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.resources.DirectoryResource} - View and modify file system directories.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.resources.LogsResource} - View and control generated log files.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.resources.SampleRootResource} - A sample root resource class to get started from.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.resources.ShutdownResource} - Shutdown and/or restart the JVM.

### 13.5 - Config created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

In {@doc jmc.Config}, we described how to associate a configuration file with your microservice. In this section we describe how that configuration can be used to customize the behavior or your REST resource classes.

The most common usage for the configuration file is to reference values using the {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar $C} variable in annotations. For example, the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestConfig} interface that defines the annotations that control the look-and-feel of classes that extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} use several $C variables to externalize values:

@Rest( ... // These are static files that are served up by the servlet under the specified sub-paths. // For example, "/servletPath/htdocs/javadoc.css" resolves to the file "[servlet-package]/htdocs/javadoc.css" // By default, we define static files through the external configuration file. staticFiles="$C{REST/staticFiles}" ) // HTML-page specific settings @HtmlDocConfig( // Default page header contents. header={ "<h1>$RS{title}</h1>", // Use @Rest(title) "<h2>$RS{operationSummary,description}</h2>", // Use either @RestOp(summary) or @Rest(description) "$C{REST/header}" // Extra header HTML defined in external config file. }, // Default stylesheet to use for the page. // Can be overridden from external config file. // Default is DevOps look-and-feel (aka Depression look-and-feel). stylesheet="$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}", // Default contents to add to the <head> section of the HTML page. // Use it to add a favicon link to the page. head={ "<link rel='icon' href='$U{$C{REST/favicon}}'/>" }, // No default page footer contents. // Can be overridden from external config file. footer="$C{REST/footer}", ... ) public interface BasicRestConfig {}

These values in turn are pulled from the external configuration file shown below. Note that the configuration file can also contain $C variables.

#======================================================================================================================= # REST settings #======================================================================================================================= [REST] # Mappings to folders containing static files. # Can be in the working directory or in the classpath. staticFiles = htdocs:files/htdocs # Stylesheet to use for HTML views. theme = servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css headerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/juneau.png headerLink = http://juneau.apache.org footerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/asf.png footerLink = http://www.apache.org favicon = $C{REST/headerIcon} header = <a href='$U{$C{REST/headerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/headerIcon}}' style='position:absolute;top:5;right:5;background-color:transparent;height:30px'/> </a> footer = <a href='$U{$C{REST/footerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/footerIcon}}' style='float:right;padding-right:20px;height:32px'/> </a>

Configuration files can also be accessed programmatically. There are 3 primary ways of getting access to the config file:

- {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getConfig()}

  Any {@doc jrs.SvlVariables initialization-time variables} can be used.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#getConfig()}

  Any {@doc jrs.SvlVariables initialization-time variables} can be used.

  ##### Example usage:

  #---------------------------------- # Configuration for MyHelloResource #---------------------------------- [MyHelloResource] greeting = Hello world!

  #--------------------------------- # Contents of MyHelloResource.java #--------------------------------- @Rest(...) public class MyHelloResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { private String greeting; // Or access config file in servlet init method. @Override /* Servlet */ public void init() { Config config = getContext().getConfig(); this.greeting = config.getString("MyHelloResource/greeting"); } }

  Additional user-defined variables at the servlet level can be defined by adding a {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#INIT} hook method and using the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#vars(Class...)} method.

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getConfig()} - An instance method to access it from inside a REST method.

  Any {@doc jrs.SvlVariables initialization-time or request-time variables} can be used.

  ##### Example usage:

  #---------------------------------- # Configuration for MyHelloResource #---------------------------------- [MyHelloResource] greeting = Hello $RP{person}! // $RP is RequestPathVar localizedGreeting = $L{HelloMessage,$RP{person}} // $L is LocalizationVar with args

  #--------------------------------- # Contents of MyHelloResource.java #--------------------------------- @Rest( path="/hello", messages="nls/Messages", ... ) public class MyHelloResource extends BasicRestServlet implements BasicUniversalConfig { /** Standard hello message. */ @RestGet("/{person}") public String sayHello(RestRequest req) { return req.getConfig().getString("MyHelloResource/greeting"); } /** Hello message in users language. */ @RestGet("/localized/{person}") public String sayLocalizedHello(RestRequest req) { return req.getConfig().getString("MyHelloResource/localizedGreeting"); } }

  #--------------------------------------- # Contents of nls/Messages_en.properties #--------------------------------------- MyHelloResource.HelloMessage = Hello {0}!

  Additional user-defined variables can be defined at this level by overriding the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext.Builder#vars(Class...)} method.

That sayLocalizedHello() example might need some explanation since there's a lot going on there. Here's what happens when an HTTP call is made to GET /hello/localized/Bob:

1. The HTTP call matches the /hello path on the MyHelloResource class.
2. The HTTP call matches the /localized/{person} path on the sayLocalizedHello() method.
3. The request attribute person gets assigned the value "Bob".
4. The call to req.getConfig().getString("MyHelloResource/localizedGreeting") finds the value "$L{HelloMessage,$RP{person}}".
5. The arguments in the $L{} variable get resolved, resulting in "$L{HelloMessage,Bob}".
6. The $L{} variable gets resolved to the message "Hello {0}!" in the localized properties file of the servlet based on the Accept-Language header on the request.
7. The arguments get replaced in the message resulting in "Hello Bob!".
8. The resulting message "Hello Bob!" is returned as a POJO to be serialized to whatever content type was specified on the Accept header on the request.

This particular example is needlessly complex, but it gives an idea of how variables can be used recursively to produce sophisticated results

- {@doc juneau-config}

### 13.6 - Jetty.xml file created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Jetty microservice comes with a bare-bones jetty.xml file which can be modified to suite any needs.

The jetty.xml can be located in either the "." or "files" working directory or classpath. It can also be specified in any of the following ways:

- Using the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder#jettyXml(Object,boolean)} method to specify the location or contents of the file.
- Specifying the location using a Jetty-Config value in the MANIFEST.MF file.

  Jetty-Config: files/jetty.xml

- Specifying the location using the "Jetty/jettyXml" configuration value.

  #======================================================================================================================= # Jetty settings #======================================================================================================================= [Jetty] # Path of the jetty.xml file used to configure the Jetty server. config = files/jetty.xml

SVL variables in the jetty.xml file are automatically resolved by the microservice. This allows you to reference values in your configuration file from the jetty.xml file.

The HTTP port used is controlled via the following:

- The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder#ports(int...)} method.

  JettyMicroservice .create() .args(args) .servlets(RootResource.class) .port(1000,2000,0,0,0) // Try port 1000, then 2000, then 3 random ports. .build() .start()

- The "Jetty/ports" configuration property.

  #======================================================================================================================= # Jetty settings #======================================================================================================================= [Jetty] # Port to use for the jetty server. # You can specify multiple ports. The first available will be used. '0' indicates to try a random port. port = 1000,2000,0,0,0

The first available port is then made available through the system property "availablePort" so that it can be referenced in our jetty.xml file.

<Set name="connectors"> <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Connector"> <Item> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector"> <Arg> <Ref refid="ExampleServer" /> </Arg> <Set name="port">$S{availablePort,8080}</Set> </New> </Item> </Array> </Set>

The {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder#jettyServerFactory(JettyServerFactory)} method is also provided to use your own customized Jetty server.

### 13.7 - UI Customization created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Microservice project contains a files/htdocs folder with predefined stylesheets and images.

These files can be used to tailor the look-and-feel of your microservice.

http://localhost:10000/helloWorld

The REST configuration section of your microservice configuration file can be used to tailor the header and footer on the pages:

#======================================================================================================================= # REST settings #======================================================================================================================= [REST] staticFiles = htdocs:files/htdocs # Stylesheet to use for HTML views. theme = servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css headerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/juneau.png headerLink = http://juneau.apache.org footerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/asf.png footerLink = http://www.apache.org favicon = $C{REST/headerIcon} header = <a href='$U{$C{REST/headerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/headerIcon}}' style='position:absolute;top:5;right:5;background-color:transparent;height:30px'/> </a> footer = <a href='$U{$C{REST/footerLink}}'> <img src='$U{$C{REST/footerIcon}}' style='float:right;padding-right:20px;height:32px'/> </a>

The {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestConfig} interface (which defines the default settings for {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet.BasicRestServlet} pulls in this information using {@link org.apache.juneau.config.vars.ConfigVar $C} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.UrlVar $U} variables:

@Rest( ... // Optional external configuration file. config="$S{juneau.configFile}", // These are static files that are served up by the servlet under the specified sub-paths. // For example, "/servletPath/htdocs/javadoc.css" resolves to the file "[servlet-package]/htdocs/javadoc.css" // By default, we define static files through the external configuration file. staticFiles="$C{REST/staticFiles}" ) // HTML-page specific settings @HtmlDocConfig( // Default page header contents. header={ "<h1>$RS{title}</h1>", // Use @Rest(title) "<h2>$RS{operationSummary,description}</h2>", // Use either @RestOp(summary) or @Rest(description) "$C{REST/header}" // Extra header HTML defined in external config file. }, // Default stylesheet to use for the page. // Can be overridden from external config file. // Default is DevOps look-and-feel (aka Depression look-and-feel). stylesheet="$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}", // Default contents to add to the <head> section of the HTML page. // Use it to add a favicon link to the page. head={ "<link rel='icon' href='$U{$C{REST/favicon}}'/>" }, // No default page footer contents. // Can be overridden from external config file. footer="$C{REST/footer}" ) public interface BasicRestConfig {}

Note that the files/htdocs directory is mapped to "servlet:/htdocs" using the staticFiles setting. This allows those files to be served up through the servlet through the URL "/[servlet-path]/htdocs"

The theme files are externally accessible and can be modified to produce any look-and-feel you desire. The microservice still works without the files directory. An embedded devops.css is included in the jar as a default spreadsheet.

If you're testing out changes in the theme stylesheets, you may want to set the following system property that prevents caching of those files so that you don't need to restart the microservice each time a change is made:

#======================================================================================================================= # System properties #----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # These are arbitrary system properties that are set during startup. #======================================================================================================================= [SystemProperties] # Disable classpath resource caching. # Useful if you're attached using a debugger and you're modifying classpath resources while running. RestContext.disableClasspathResourceCaching.b = true

### 13.8 - Extending JettyMicroservice created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

This example shows how the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice} class can be extended to implement lifecycle listener methods or override existing methods. We'll create a new class com.foo.MyJettyMicroservice.

/** * Sample subclass of a JettyMicroservice that provides customized behavior. */ public class MyJettyMicroservice extends JettyMicroservice { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { JettyMicroservice.Builder builder = JettyMicroservice.create(); new MyJettyMicroservice(builder).start().join(); } public MyJettyMicroservice(JettyMicroservice.Builder builder) throws Exception { super(builder); } // Customized code here.

Optionally, you can extend the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.jetty.JettyMicroservice.Builder} class as well:

public class MyJettyMicroservice.Builder extends JettyMicroservice.Builder { int extraField; /** * Constructor (required). */ protected MyJettyMicroservice.Builder() {} /** * Copy constructor (required). * * @param copyFrom The builder to copy settings from. */ protected MyJettyMicroservice.Builder(MyJettyMicroservice.Builder copyFrom) { super(copyFrom); } // Additional setters public MyJettyMicroservice.Builder extraField(int extraField) { this.extraField = extraField; return this; } // Overridden methods @Override /* JettyMicroservice.Builder */ public MyJettyMicroservice.Builder copy() { return new MyJettyMicroservice.Builder(this); } @Override /* JettyMicroservice.Builder */ public MyJettyMicroservice.Builder ports(int...ports) { super.ports(ports); return this; } @Override /* JettyMicroservice.Builder */ public MyJettyMicroservice.Builder servlet(Class<? extends RestServlet> cls) throws InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException { super.servlet(cls); return this; } ... }

## 14 - my-jetty-microservice created: 8.1.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The Juneau Microservice libraries are likely to be removed in Juneau 9.0 due to the popularity of the Spring Boot framework for creating microservices and the ability for Juneau to be used within Spring Boot.

##### Starter Project Zip

my-jetty-microservice-{@property juneauVersion}.zip

The my-jetty-microservice.zip file is a predefined starter Eclipse project for developing REST microservices using the {@doc juneau-microservice-jetty juneau-microservice-jetty} package.

It includes a combination of the Juneau Core, Server, and Client APIs and all libraries needed to execute in a Java 1.8+ environment.

### 14.1 - Installing in Eclipse created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

Follow these instructions to create a new template project in Eclipse.

1. Download the my-jetty-microservice-{@property juneauVersion}.zip file from the downloads page (located in the binaries) and import it into your workspace as an existing project:
2. Select the archive file and import the project:
3. In your workspace, you should now see the following project:

The important elements in this project are:

- App.java - The entry point.
  This class creates and starts our microservice:

  public class App { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { JettyMicroservice .create() .args(args) .servlet(RootResources.class) .build() .start() .startConsole() .join(); } }

- RootResources.java - The top-level REST resource.
  This class routes HTTP requests to child resources:

  @Rest( path="/", title="My Microservice", description="Top-level resources page", children={ HelloWorldResource.class, ConfigResource.class, LogsResource.class } ) @HtmlDocConfig( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class, StyleMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" } ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { // No code }

- mjm.cfg - The external configuration file.
  Contains various useful settings.
  Can be used for your own resource configurations.

- jetty.xml - The Jetty configuration file.
  A bare-bones config file that can be extended to use any Jetty features.

  <Configure id="ExampleServer" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server"> <Set name="connectors"> <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Connector"> <Item> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector"> <Arg> <Ref refid="ExampleServer"/> </Arg> <Set name="port">$S{availablePort,8080}</Set> </New> </Item> </Array> </Set> <New id="context" class="org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler"> <Set name="contextPath">/</Set> <!-- Optionally specify your servlets here --> <!--Call name="addServlet"> <Arg>org.apache.juneau.microservice.sample.RootResources</Arg> <Arg>/*</Arg> </Call--> <Set name="sessionHandler"> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.SessionHandler"/> </Set> </New> <Set name="handler"> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.HandlerCollection"> <Set name="handlers"> <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.server.Handler"> <Item> <Ref refid="context"/> </Item> <Item> <New class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.DefaultHandler"/> </Item> </Array> </Set> </New> </Set> <Set name="requestLog"> <New id="RequestLogImpl" class="org.eclipse.jetty.server.NCSARequestLog"> <Set name="filename"><Property name="jetty.logs" default="$C{Logging/logDir,logs}"/>/jetty-requests.log</Set> <Set name="filenameDateFormat">yyyy_MM_dd</Set> <Set name="LogTimeZone">GMT</Set> <Set name="retainDays">90</Set> <Set name="append">false</Set> <Set name="LogLatency">true</Set> </New> </Set> <Get name="ThreadPool"> <Set name="minThreads" type="int">10</Set> <Set name="maxThreads" type="int">100</Set> <Set name="idleTimeout" type="int">60000</Set> <Set name="detailedDump">true</Set> </Get> </Configure>

At this point, you're ready to start the microservice from your workspace.

### 14.2 - Running in Eclipse created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The mjm.launch file is already provided to allow you to quickly start your new microservice.

Go to Run -> Run Configurations -> Java Application -> my-jetty-microservice and click Run. In your console view, you should see the following output:

Running class 'JettyMicroservice' using config file 'mjm.cfg'. Server started on port 10000 List of available commands: exit -- Shut down service restart -- Restarts service help -- Commands help >

Now open your browser and point to http://localhost:10000. You should see the following:

http://localhost:10000

You can enter the command exit to shut it down.

### 14.3 - Building and Running from Command-Line created: 8.0.0, deprecated: 8.1.2

The pom.xml file is a basic Maven build script for creating your microservice as an executable uber-jar.

The easiest way to build your microservice is to run the following from the project root.

mvn clean install

Your target directory should now contain the following files:

- my-jetty-microservice-1.0.jar
- mjm.cfg

To start from a command line, run the following command from inside your target directory:

java -jar my-jetty-microservice-1.0.jar

You should see the following console output:

Running class 'JettyMicroservice' using config file 'mjm.cfg'. Server started on port 10000 List of available commands: exit -- Shut down service restart -- Restarts service help -- Commands help >

If you get this error message: `java.net.BindException: Address already in use`, then this microservice is already running elsewhere and so it cannot bind to port 10000.

## 15 - my-springboot-microservice created: 8.0.0

##### Starter Project Zip

my-springboot-microservice-{@property juneauVersion}.zip

The my-springboot-microservice.zip file is a predefined starter Eclipse project for developing REST microservices using the {@doc juneau-rest-server-springboot juneau-rest-server-springboot} package with Spring Boot.

It includes a combination of the Juneau Core, Server, and Client APIs and all libraries needed to execute in a Java 1.8+ environment.

One significant difference is that we are not using the Juneau {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} API for our application but instead using the existing Spring Boot API.

### 15.1 - Installing in Eclipse created: 8.0.0

Follow these instructions to create a new template project in Eclipse.

1. Download the my-springboot-microservice-{@property juneauVersion}.zip file from the downloads page (located in the binaries) and import it into your workspace as an existing project:
2. Select the archive file and import the project:
3. In your workspace, you should now see the following project:

The important elements in this project are:

- App.java - The entry point.
  This class creates and starts our microservice.
  Note that we're using the existing Spring Boot application logic for the microservice and we're retrieving our root resource as a spring bean.
  Only the top-level resource needs to be annotated with {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.annotation.JuneauRestRoot @JuneauRestRoot}

  @SpringBootApplication @Controller public class App { public static void main(String[] args) { new SpringApplicationBuilder(App.class) .initializers(new JuneauRestInitializer(App.class)) .run(args); } @Bean @JuneauRestRoot public RootResources getRootResources() { return new RootResources(); } }

- RootResources.java - The top-level REST resource.
  This class routes HTTP requests to child resources.
  This is identical to the Jetty example.

  @Rest( path="/", title="My Microservice", description="Top-level resources page", htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( widgets={ ContentTypeMenuItem.class, StyleMenuItem.class }, navlinks={ "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS" } ), children={ HelloWorldResource.class, ConfigResource.class, LogsResource.class } ) public class RootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicUniversalConfig { // No code }

- juneau.cfg - The configuration file.
  Contains various useful settings.
  Can be used for your own resource configurations.
  Note that the Jetty configuration is not present.
  Also it's located in the classpath so that our microservice can be built as a single executable jar.

  #======================================================================================================================= # Basic configuration file for REST microservices # Subprojects can use this as a starting point. #======================================================================================================================= #======================================================================================================================= # REST settings #======================================================================================================================= [REST] # Comma-delimited list of key-value pairs that represent locations of static files that can be served up by your @Rest-annotated # classes.

At this point, you're ready to start the microservice from your workspace.

### 15.2 - Running in Eclipse created: 8.0.0

The msm.launch file is already provided to allow you to quickly start your new microservice.

Go to Run -> Run Configurations -> Java Application -> my-springboot-microservice and click Run. In your console view, you should see the following output:

## 18 - Security Best-Practices

Security is always an ongoing concern in any library. If you discover any security vulnerabilities in this code, please refer to the instructions found here:

- {@doc http://www.apache.org/security SECURITY}

### 18.1 - juneau-marshall created: 8.2.0

##### Demarshalling vulnerabilities

One common security vulnerability is the ability to create arbitrary Java object instances through crafted user input. For example, support for constructing POJOs based on an input attribute defining a fully-qualified class name like "{class:'com.foo.MyBean',...}"

Fortunately, Juneau does not support an open-ended "class attribute. As a rule, it should not be possible to create arbitrary POJOs by any of the parsers. The demarshalled object types are inferred via reflection of the class objects passed in through the parser method (e.g. JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(input, MyBean.class)). As long as the Class object passed into this method is not constructed from user-generated input, it should be free from demarshalling vulnerabilities.

The following example shows a potential vector that circumvents the restriction above:

// Don't do this! Class c = Class.forName(someUserInputString); JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(input, c); // Oops! Security hole!

Juneau does support something similar to a "class" attribute that allows you to define the POJO type at runtime. This is the "type" attribute. The difference is that it's not possible to specify fully-qualified class names in "type" attributes, and instead can only specify type keys defined through bean dictionaries. Instead of serializing the fully-qualified class names in the output, we instead serialize type names that represent those POJO types. i.e. instead of "class='com.foo.MyBean'", we instead serialize "type='MyBeanIdentifier'". Since bean types are defined at compile time, it's impossible to instantiate arbitrary POJOs.

POJO types of generalized input are also inferred through swaps. Again, since the POJO types are hardcoded at compile time, these should not be subject to demarshalling vulnerabilities. However, it is possible to circumvent this through your swap implementation as shown below:

// Don't do this! public class MyInsecureSwap extends ObjectSwap<JsonMap,Object> { public Object swap(BeanSession session, JsonMap input) throws Exception { // Security hole! return Class.forName(input.getString("class")).newInstance(); } }

All other parsers (JSON, URL-Encoding, MessagePack, etc...) work the same way in determining POJO types, so should be safe from demarshalling vulnerabilities.

##### Dependent libraries

When accessing security vulnerabilities of any library, dependent libraries must also be taken into account:

- The JSON, HTML, MsgPack, URL-Encoding, and UON parsers are written from scratch and do not rely on any other parsing technologies.
- The XML and HTML parsers uses the built-in Java StAX parser. This *should* be free from vulnerabilities.
- The RDF parsers rely on Apache Jena 2.7.1. As of 7.0.1, no known security vulnerabilities exist that affect Juneau at this time.

### 18.2 - juneau-svl created: 8.2.0

Care must be used when defining new {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var Vars} using the SVL API since mistakes could potentially expose system properties, environment variables, or even file system files.

For recap, the SVL support allows you to embed variables of the form "$X{key}" inside strings that get resolved to other strings. The resolved strings themselves can also contain variables that also get recursively resolved.

An example of a potential security hole is shown below that could potentially expose any file on a file system through a REST request:

public String doUnsafeGet(RestRequest req) { // Security hole! return req.getVarResolver().resolve("$RQ{foo}"); }

This code is simply echoing the value of the foo query parameter. Now say for example that a bad actor passes in the query string "foo=$F{/some/file/on/file/system}". The $F variable allows you to resolve the contents of files using SVL, and is provided by default using the built-in variable resolver returned by the RestRequest object. You've potentially just exposed the contents of that file through your REST interface.

In reality, the above security hole does not exist because of the following restrictions:

- Vars have two methods {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowNested()} and {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowRecurse()} that can be overridden to prevent recursive processing of string variables. These are both false for the $R variable, so the $F variable in the result will never get processed and instead be treated as plain text.
- The $F variable only allows you to retrieve files within the JVM starting directory.

Even though the built-in Juneau variables are safe, special care is needed when defining your own custom variables. If your variable resolves user input in any way, it's HIGHLY recommended that you override the {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowNested()} and {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowRecurse()} methods to prevent recursive handling of variables.

### 18.3 - juneau-rest-server created: 8.2.0

Denial of service attacks can be alleviated through the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#maxInput() maxInput()} setting. Arbitrarily-large input will trigger an exception before causing out-of-memory errors. The default value for this setting is 100MB.

Since the parsers do not use intermediate DOMs and instead parse directly into Java objects, deeply nested data structures will almost always trigger stack overflow errors long before memory consumption becomes an issue. However, this is NOT true of the RDF parsers that use an intermediate DOM. If parsing RDF, you may want to consider lowering the max-input value above.

## Release Notes

### 5.0.0.0 (Jun 11, 2012)

Version 5.0 marks a major release milestone for the Juno/JJSON library. It is now available for download from iRAM under the name "Juno (previously JJSON)". The Juno Starters Guide has been updated to reflect new functionality in this release.

- New name.
  Unfortunately, "JJSON" was already trademarked by another similar library. Therefore, it's been renamed "Juno" (after the Roman goddess and wife of Jupiter) which does not appear to have any similar trademark issues (crosses fingers). The name is also a play on the word "Uno", indicating that this is a single simple unifying interface of several kinds of technology.
- Simplified APIs for working with beans.
  Significant improvements have been made to the parsers to make it easier to convert serialized POJOs back into their original forms.
- Serializer/Parser classes now directly subclass from {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext}.
  In previous releases, if you wanted to change the way beans were handled by the serializers and parsers, you had to construct a separate bean map factory and pass it to the serializer or parser. Now, you can call the bean map factory methods directly on the serializer or parser class.
- Simplified Filter API for handling non-standard POJOs.
  The API for handling non-standard POJOs has been simplified by introducing the concept of a {@del Transform} class, which is associated with the BeanContext class (and thus the Serializer and Parser classes too) through the BeanContext.addTransforms(Class[]) method.
  Two new subclasses of {@del Transform}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter} - Filter POJO beans.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap} - Filter POJOs that aren't beans.
  This new API replaces the previous separate Cast and BeanFilter APIs which were considerably more complicated and puts them under a common API.
- Elimination of _class attributes in parsable output.
  One of the complaints about the previous version of JJSON was that if you wanted to have the resulting JSON or XML be parsable back into beans, you had to enable the "addClassAttrs" property on the bean map factory class so that "_class" attributes could be added to the output.
  This requirement is virtually eliminated in v5. In many cases, the parsers are able to determine through reflection what the correct target type is based on the top-level class passed in on the parse method.
- Performance improvements.
  Several significant performance improvements have been made in this release.
  - New Reader-based JSON parser.
    Previously, the JSON parser required that the entire JSON text be loaded into memory as a String before being parsed. The new JSON parser is Reader-based which significantly reduces memory consumption.
  - New StAX-based XML parser.
    The old XML parser was based on DOM. The new XML parser uses a StAX parser which significantly reduces memory consumption.
  - Caching of reflection data in the BeanMap API.
    The number of reflection calls have been significantly reduced in the BeanMap API code. Reflection is used to determine the class types of property values on beans. This information is now cached and persisted so that the reflection API calls to determine class types are only performed the first time a bean type is encountered.
  - Automatic support for GZIP compression/decompression in RestServlets.
    This is completely transparent to the developer. The output writer is negotiated by the framework to automatically handle compression and charset requests without the developer needing to know anything about it.
- Cognos/XML support.
- JSON-schema support.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoIntrospector} class.
- Significant REST servlet API improvements.
  - Defining child resources is considerably simpler now. In addition to the standard doX() methods for handling the requests for the current resource, you can also define getX() methods for returning child resources which automatically become available under the child URL specified by the getter name.
  - Initialization of the child resources occurs automatically when the parent resource initialization occurs.
  - Other improvments have been made in the area of automatic negotiation of input and output type streams. For example, automatic support is provided for GZIP (Accept-Encoding: gzip) and charsets (e.g Accept-Charset: SJIS) on both incoming and outgoing data. It's all transparent from a developers perspective. The developer simply working with POJOs, and all details about content types, encoding, charsets, and so forth are handled by the framework.
  - Support for generating complex OPTIONS pages for resources.
- Automatic support for SOAP XML output on "text/soap+xml" requests against RestServlet.
- Support for XML namespaces.
- Support for setting the XML root element name by either passing in a parameter on the serializer, or by specifying it via a @Bean annotation.
- Support for loading beans directly from Readers and Strings.
- Parsing support for POJOs of type Enum.
- Significant improved support for various flavors of parameterized types, such as subclasses of parameterized types (e.g. MyBeanList extends LinkedList<MyBean>).
- Improved ordering of bean properties (should now be ordered as they are defined in the class).
- Various default filters provided:
  - byte[]<-->Base64 encoded strings
  - Date/Calendar<-->ISO8601/RFC822/Long
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser} and {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser} classes.
- HtmlSerializer now produces XHTML.

  The code examples are also syntax-highlighted using CSS.
- Support for defining default XML namespaces on packages and classes for the XML and RDF serializers.
- Restructured the packages along content type support (e.g. all JSON support moved to org.apache.juneau.json).
- Automatic support for parsing maps with Enum keys, and parsing Enum strings.
  This was previously possible using filters, but now it's built-in for all the parsers.
- Replaced the ObjectList.toXArray() methods with a new elements(Class<T> type) method that's more efficient and avoids creating an unnecessary array.
- Support for parsing into beans with read-only properties.

  - New {@del org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderGroup} class for managing multiple encoders and finding them based on RFC2616 Accept-Encoding header values.
- New org.apache.juneau.plaintext package.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.PlainTextSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.PlainTextParser} classes for serializing/parsing text/plain content.
- New org.apache.juneau.jso package.
  - New {@del org.apache.juneau.jso.JsoSerializer} class for serializing application/x-java-serialized-object content.
- New org.apache.juneau.soap package.

- Improved cloning support on the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} class.
  - Better caching. Improved caching performance.
- JsonMap and JsonList changed to {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap} and {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList} to better reflect that they're not limited to just JSON support.
- Renamed PojoSwap to {@link org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoQuery} to not confuse it with the new Filter API.

##### REST server API changes

- Eliminated org.apache.juneau.rest.serializers and org.apache.juneau.rest.parsers packages.
  - All existing REST serializers and parsers merged into the core API.

##### REST client API changes

- Simplified {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} API.
  - You can now only specify a single serializer or parser per client. This significantly simplifies the code.
  - Support for {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder Encoders}.
- Eliminated RestCmdLine (since it's essentially redundant with CURL).

### 5.0.0.15 (Mar 24, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.15 is a moderate update.

- Juno-Wink integration components that have been requested by many for a long time!
  Refer to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.jaxrs} for information.
- New {@del @Produces} annotation in place of ISerializer.getMediaTypes() for specifying what media types a serializer produces.
  Available when subclassing from {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer}.
- New {@del @Consumes} annotation in place of IParser.getMediaTypes() for specifying what media types a parser consumes.
  Available when subclassing from {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser}.

### 5.0.0.16 (Mar 25, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.16 is a minor update.

- New {@del @Properties} REST method parameter annotation that can be used to get the runtime properties map through a parameter instead of through {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse}.

### 5.0.0.17 (Mar 25, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.17 is a minor update.

- Charset now passed as a parameter to IOutputStreamSerializer.serialize() and IInputStreamParser.parse().

### 5.0.0.18 (Mar 27, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.18 is a moderate update.

The biggest change is the introduction of the {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfSerializer} class that uses Jena to generate RDF/XML, RDF/XML-ABBREV, N-Tuple, N3, and Turtle output.

This code should be considered prototype-quality, and subject to change in the future.
There are plans of adding an equivalent RdfParser class in the future, so the serializer logic may need to be tweaked to allow POJOs to be reconstituted correctly in the parser.

The RdfXmlSerializer class should be considered deprecated for now.
However, I'm keeping it around, since it's considerably faster and uses far less memory than the Jena-based serializer since it serializes directly from POJOs to RDF/XML.
It may or may not be removed in the future depending on demand.

##### Other changes

- New {@del org.apache.juneau.jso.JsoParser} class.

### 5.0.0.19 (Apr 1, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.19 is a minor update.

- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}:
  - {@del RestServlet#onPreCall(RestRequest)}
  - {@del RestServlet#onPostCall(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
- TRIM_NULLS setting changed to {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_trimNullProperties}.
  New property default is true. Only applies to bean properties, not map or collection entries.

### 5.0.0.20 (Apr 7, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.20 is a major update.

##### Core API changes

- New Jena-based {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfSerializer} for serializing POJOs to RDF/XML, RDF/XML-ABBREV, N-Triple, Turtle, and N3.
  Serializes ANY POJOs to RDF, even simple objects and primitives.
- New Jena-based {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfParser} for parsing RDF/XML, RDF/XML-ABBREV, N3, Turtle, and N-Triple back into POJOs.
- {@del XmlSerializerContext#XML_autoDetectNamespaces} default changed to true.
  The old default value would cause XML with unmapped namespaces if you didn't manually specify them via the {@del XmlSerializerContext#XML_namespaces} annotation.
  While setting the default to true is somewhat slower (since the serializer must crawl the POJO tree to find namespaces), the benefits of having it work out-of-the-box outweighs the performance concerns.
  For developers concerned about performance, they can always change it back to false and specify the namespaces themselves.

##### REST server API changes

- Allow inheritance of {@del @RestResource} annotation.
  Serializers, parsers, filters, properties , guards, and converters definitions are automatically inherited from parent classes and interfaces.
- Enhancements to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod} annotation:
  - New RestMethod.filters() annotation for defining POJO filters at the method level.
  - New {@del RestMethod#serializersInherit()} and {@del RestMethod#parsersInherit()} annotations for controlling how serializers and parsers (and associated filters and properties) are inherited from the class.
    This replaces the previous addSerializers and addParsers annotations.
- New {@del RestServletJenaDefault} servlet that includes serialization/parsing support for all Jena-based serializers and parsers.
- New {@del DefaultJenaProvider} JAX-RS provider that includes serialization/parsing support for all Jena-based serializers and parsers.
- Eliminated RestServletChild class.
  It's redundant with the introduction of inheritable annotations.
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}:
  - RestServlet.createConfigFactory()
  - RestServlet.createSerializers()
  - RestServlet.createParsers()
  These augment the existing getBeanContext() / getSerializers() / getParsers() methods.

##### REST client API changes

- New RestCall.setDateHeader(String,Object) method for setting ISO8601 datetime headers.

### 5.0.0.21 (Apr 9, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.21 is a minor update.

##### Core API changes

- New {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_navlinks} annotation for addint links to HTML page views.
- Renamed the properties in {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext} for clarity.

##### Servlet API changes

- Added new RestServlet.addDefaultProperties(ObjectMap,RestRequest) method for programatically adding properties to the property map per request.
- Added the following new properties in the properties map to make them easily available to serializers and parsers (since they don't have access to the HTTP request object).
  Note that the SerializerContext.SERIALIZER_uriAuthority and SerializerContext.SERIALIZER_uriContext properties were previously available.
  - RestServletProperties.REST_servletPath
  - RestServletProperties.REST_pathInfo
  - RestServletProperties.REST_method
- Path variables annotated with {@del @Attr} are now automatically URL-decoded.

### 5.0.0.22 (Apr 12, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.22 is a minor update.

##### Core API changes

- New @Property.nls() annotation for specifying localized property values.
  For example, allows you to set the HTMLDOC_title and HTMLDOC_description properties to localized values pulled from a resource bundle.
  See the AddressBookResource class for an example.

##### REST Servlet API changes

- Fix a bug where the &Content query parameter was not always parsed correctly.

### 5.0.0.23 (Apr 14, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.23 is a minor update.

- Simplified {@del org.apache.juneau.dto.cognos Cognos} support.
- Fixed bug where @Xml annotation was not being inherited by inner classes.
- Javadoc stylesheet improvements.

### 5.0.0.24 (May 9, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.24 is a major update.

##### Core API updates

- New support for {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.atom ATOM}.
  - New AtomFeedResource class added to sample war.
- New {@del XmlFormat#CONTENT} enum value.
  Allows bean properties to be persisted as XML element text.
- New {@del XmlContentHandler} class and {@del @Xml#contentHandler} annotation.
  Allows customized serialization and parsing of beans to XML element text.
  Added for support of ATOM text content that must support both plain text and embedded XHTML.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlSchema @XmlSchema} and updated {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlNs @XmlNs} annotations to better mimic JAXB.
- Removed @Xml.valAttr annotation since it's now redundant with @Xml(format=CONTENT).
- Fixed timezone bug in {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.CalendarSwap}.

Juno 5.0.0.25 is a minor update.

##### Core API updates

- New {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.ResultSetList} DTO for serializing SQL result sets to JSON/XML/HTML and so forth.
- New SqlQueryResource class in the sample war for demonstrating the ResultSetList DTO.

##### Server API updates

- Fixed issue with media type for CSS files being reported as "text/plain" instead of "text/css".
- Moved initialization of class properties to before the call to Servlet.init() so that getProperties() can be called during servlet initialization.
- New @Property.type annotation with support for using system properties as resource properties.

### 5.0.0.26 (Jun 5, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.26 is a minor update.

- FindBug fixes.
- Changed the way child REST resources are defined.
  Eliminated the @RestChild annotation on getter methods and replaced it with {@del @RestResource(children)} defined on the resource class itself.
  Child resource paths are specified through {@del @RestResource(path)}.
- New {@del ChildResourceDescriptions} bean for automatically generating the contents of router resource pages.
- Changed @RestMethod.pattern() to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#path() @RestMethod(path)} for naming consistency.

### 5.0.0.27 (July 7, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.27 is a moderate update.

- Fixed some HTML formatting issues in {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer}.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} now includes {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.PlainTextSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.PlainTextParser} for plain-text support.
- Child resources now render on default OPTIONS pages through new method {@del ResourceOptions#getChildren()}.
- Changes to {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingSerializer}/{@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser} to reduce the need for quoted string values.
  More changes are likely in this area of the code to support multipart form posts.
- FindBugs fixes.

### 5.0.0.28 (July 9, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.28 is a moderate update.

- Fixes an OutOfMemoryError and performance issue caused by incorrect caching of class metadata.
- Added WriterSerializer.serialize(Object,Writer) convenience method for serializing directly to a writer.
  Applies to all serializers.

### 5.0.0.29 (Aug 2, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.29 is a moderate update.

- Revamped the API for filter support:
  - Updated {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter} class to mirror the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotation.
  - Introduced support for bean {@del Bean#subTypeProperty() subtypes}.
  - Replaced @Bean(filter=xxx) with new {@del @Transform} annotation.
- Revamped URL-Encoding support.
  The old URL-Encoding serializer and parser simply used the JSON serializer/parser with a thin URL-encoding top layer.
  The new URL-Encoding serialize and parser was written from scratch and is considerably more consistent in design and output.
- Improved number parsing.
  The new number parser should handle any valid numeric syntax for decimals and floats that Java itself supports.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} LAX mode now quotes reserved word attributes.
- New predefined DateFilters with millisecond precision:
  - org.apache.juneau.swaps.DateSwap.ISO8601DTP
  - org.apache.juneau.swaps.DateSwap.ISO8601DTZP

### 5.0.0.30 (Aug 8, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.30 is a minor update.

- Fixed bug involving beans using {@del Bean#subTypes()} annotation in addition to subTypes property.
- Modified the JSON parser to handle non-existent JSON values to get around an issue where Cognos was generating invalid JSON.

### 5.0.0.31 (Aug 9, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.31 is a moderate update.

- Simplified the {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser} class hierarchies.
  This reverses a previous change that added a bunch of interfaces in these APIs (and subsequently required compiling with Java 7 to get around a compiler bug).
  The new class hierarchy is much simpler to understand.
- Added {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.XMLGregorianCalendarSwap} to convert these to ISO8601 strings during serialization, and vice versa during parsing.
- Added a strict mode to {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser}.
- Added default {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser#DEFAULT_STRICT} parser.

### 5.0.0.32 (Oct 5, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.32 is a moderate update.

- New support for generating and consuming fully-compliant JSON-Schema documents.
  See {@del org.apache.juneau.dto.jsonschema} for information.
- New methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser}:
  - org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.parseMap(Object,int,Class,Class,Class)
  - org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.parseCollection(Object,int,Class,Class)
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotation can now be defined on interfaces and inherited by subclasses.
- Support for customizing serialized values for Enums through overriding toString() and fromString() on the enum class.
  Previously used Enum.valueOf() to convert strings back into Enums.
  Used for JSON-Schema support to allow {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.jsonschema.JsonType} enum to be serialized to lowercase per the specification (e.g. "string" instead of "STRING").
- {@del org.apache.juneau.dto.cognos Cognos} DTOs now have fluent-style bean setters.
- Support for generic bean objects whose type was erased at compile time.
  Previous behavior gave you an error message that the type could not be determined.
  New behavior assumes a type of Object when the type is erased.
- Bug fixes:
  - When duplicate fluent-style setters were defined with different parameter types (e.g. setFoo(Foo f), setFoo(Bar b)), the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanMap} API would sometime choose the wrong setter as the bean property setter.
    Now validates that the setter being chosen is the one whose return type matches the property getter.
  - Passing in Accept GET parameters with '+' (e.g. &Accept=text/json+simple) wasn't working anymore.
    The Accept parameter is supposed to interpret spaces as '+' to allow you to not have to write &Accept=text/json%2Bsimple.
  - Parsers would not set bean properties of abstract type {@link java.lang.Number}.
    Now it detects the numeric type based on input and sets the value accordingly.

### 5.0.0.33 (Oct 20, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.33 is a moderate update.

- Removed generic parameter from {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer} class.
  - Many of the examples in the documentation were written as follows, which resulted in "unchecked" compile warnings:
    WriterSerializer s = new JsonSerializer();
    These compile warnings will now go away.
- New settings in BeanContext. These can be applied to all serializers/parsers.
  - {@del BEAN_ignoreInvocationExceptionsOnGetters}
  - {@del BEAN_ignoreInvocationExceptionsOnSetters}
  - {@del BEAN_notBeanPackages_add}
  - {@del BEAN_notBeanPackages_remove}
- Eliminated addNotBeanClassPatterns(String...) methods throughout API since these are now controlled by {@del BEAN_notBeanPackages_add} / {@del BEAN_notBeanPackages_remove} properties.
- New settings in RestServletProperties.
  - RestServletProperties.REST_trimTrailingUriSlashes
    Also removed RestRequest.getRequestURI(boolean trimTrailingSlashes) method which is now redundant with this property.
  - RestServletProperties.REST_pathInfoBlankForNull
    Also removed RestRequest.getPathInfo(boolean returnBlankForNull) method which is now redundant with this property.
- New JSON-Schema {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.jsonschema.JsonSchemaMap} class for supporting linked schemas.
- Serializers will no longer throw an exception when maxDepth setting is reached, and will instead simply ignore content below the specified depth.
  While the old behavior was as-designed, the new behavior is more in-line with expected behavior.
- Added support for HTTP header "X-Response-Headers" to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}.
  Allows you to specify one or more headers that should be returned on the response from the servlet.
  For example, to get a page to automatically refresh every 1 second, you can append the following to a URL: ?x-response-headers={Refresh=1}
- Removed HtmlDocSerializerContext.HTML_REFRESH setting that added a Refresh meta tag to HTML documents, since this can now be controlled through X-Response-Headers.
- Small improvements to samples.
  - PhotosResource now includes a default entry.

### 5.0.0.34 (Nov 10, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.34 is a moderate update.

- New support for runtime-replaced variables in REST resource properties:

  @RestResource( messages="nls/Messages", properties={ @Property(name="label",value="$L{servletTitle}"), // Localized variable in Messages.properties @Property(name="javaVendor",value="$S{java.vendor}"), // System property @Property(name="foo",value="bar"), @Property(name="bar",value="baz"), @Property(name="v1",value="$R{foo}"), // Request variable. value="bar" @Property(name="v2",value="$R{$R{foo}}") // Nested request variable. value="baz" } )

  See RestServlet.createRequestVarResolver(RestRequest) for more information.
- Eliminated @Property.type annotation which was the old way of specifying NLS variables that got resolved at runtime.
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}:
  - {@del RestRequest#getVarResolver()}
  - {@del RestRequest#getServletURI()}
  - {@del RestRequest#getRequestParentURI()}
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse}:
  - RestResponse.sendRedirect(CharSequence)
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet} that allow easier customization by subclasses:
  - {@del RestServlet#createConfigFactory()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createConverters()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createDefaultRequestHeaders()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createDefaultResponseHeaders()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createEncoders()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createFilters()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createGuards()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createMimetypesFileTypeMap()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createParsers()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createProperties()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createRequestProperties(ObjectMap,RestRequest)}
  - {@del RestServlet#createRequestVarResolver(RestRequest)}
  - {@del RestServlet#createSerializers()}
  - {@del RestServlet#createUrlEncodingParser()}
- Changed RestServletNls to use ResourceDescription/MethodDescription instead of RestResource/RestMethod
- New property RestServletProperties.REST_htDocsFolder.
  New support for serving up static documents from classpath through REST interface.
- Exception APIs now use {@link java.text.MessageFormat} (e.g. "{0}") for message variables instead of "%s".
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#stopClass @Bean.stopClass} annotation for specifying stop classes for bean properties.
- New {@del BeanFilter#setStopClass(Class)} which is the program equivalent to the annotation above.
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.ResultSetList}:
  - ResultSetList.handleBlob(Blob)
  - ResultSetList.handleClob(Clob)

### 5.0.0.35 (Nov 26, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.35 is a minor update.

- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestGuard#guard(RestRequest,RestResponse)} now returns a boolean to allow redirects to login pages.
- Fixed bug in RestServlet where occasional false positive "duplicate method with same name and path" errors were occurring.

### 5.0.0.36 (Dec 18, 2013)

Juno 5.0.0.36 is a minor update.

- Implemented org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser.parseArgs(Reader,int,ClassMeta[]).
- name parameter of {@del ResourceDescription#ResourceDescription(String,String,String)}. is now automatically URL-encoded so that the name can contain special characters (e.g. "foo/bar(baz)").
- Support for URL-matching and path info containing encoded characters (e.g. '/') now supported.
- Removed some lazy-initialization of bean information in {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta} that allowed the removal of some synchronized blocks.
- Improved support of {@del BeanContext#getClassMetaFromString(String)}. Now supports primitive arrays such as "long[]" in addition to the previous support for the equivalent "[J".
- Various new convenience methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.internal.StringUtils} and {@link org.apache.juneau.internal.ClassUtils}.

### 5.1.0.0 (Jan 18, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.0 is a major update.

##### Major changes

- Brand new REST client API that uses Apache HttpClient for HTTP communication.
  The new client API is simply a thin layer on top of HttpClient that performs serialization and parsing using Juno parsers, but leaves all the details of the HTTP connection to the Apache code.
  See the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client} package for details.
- New org.apache.juneau.rest.client.jazz package and org.apache.juneau.rest.client.jazz.JazzRestClient class for performing REST operations against Jazz servers.
  Includes improved support for FORM authentication, and better SSL certificate validation.
- Completely redesigned URL-Encoding support.
  See {@del org.apache.juneau.urlencoding} package for details.
- Changes to Parser API.
  - Removal of ExtendedReaderParser abstract class and moved methods into {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser} class.
  - Removal of DataFormat class from API since it was no longer necessary due to API change above.
  - Removal of ParserStringReader class.
    This was a reader optimized to work with String input.
    However, it could interfere with garbage collection of the original string object.
    Instead, the existing {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserReader} was enhanced to work well with String input, and tests show no significant performance differences.
  - New org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.parse(Object,int,ClassMeta) convenience method added.

##### Other changes

- Various new methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.internal.StringUtils} and {@link org.apache.juneau.internal.ClassUtils}.
- Improved support on {@del BeanContext#getClassMetaFromString(String)}.
  Now supports resolving "long[]", and so forth.
- {@del ResourceDescription} name parameter is now automatically URL-encoded in links.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} now correctly handles cases involving URL-encoded characters in the path info portion of URLs (e.g. http://host/contextRoot/foo%2Fbar).
- Removed lazy-initialization that required locking in {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta}.
- New BeanContext.setDefaultParser(ReaderParser) method added for specifying a default parser to use in a bean context (used when converting beans to Strings using {@del BeanContext#convertToType(Object,Class)}. Old behavior simply used the default JSON serializer in these cases.
- More consistent handling of exceptions across all parsers.
- Minor changes to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} class.
  - Changed the order of parameters on {@del RestRequest#getParameter(String,Class)}.
  - Added RestRequest.getMapParameter(String,Class,Class,Class) and RestRequest.getCollectionParameter(String,Class,Class)} methods.

### 5.1.0.1 (Jan 25, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.1 is a minor update.

- Addressed some behavioral differences between Tomcat and WAS.
  - Query parameter lookup is now always case-insensitive (per WAS behavior).
  - Consistent handling of redirect requests (Tomcat and WAS handle relative redirect paths differently).
- Fixed bug involving incorrect resolution of overlapping URL match patterns.
- Overall improvements in HTTP request parameter and header value resolution.
- Made workspace changes so as not to be dependent on the WAS test environment being loaded.
- Renamed @Remainder annotation to {@del @PathRemainder}.
- Fixed bug involving incorrect calculation of pathInfo on child resources.

### 5.1.0.2 (Apr 27, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.2 is a minor update.

- Fixed issue preventing &Accept-Language from being used as a GET parameter.
- Minor XSS vulnerability fix.
- Empty results on HTML pages now shows "no results" instead of a blank page.
- Fixed issues preventing REST pages from rendering HTML in newer versions of Internet Explorer.
- Changed RestServletProperties.REST_allowMethodParam to be disabled by default.

### 5.1.0.3 (Jun 28, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.3 is a moderate update.

##### Core API updates

- Ability to detect and use non-public bean classes, getters/setters, and fields using the following new properties:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanConstructorVisibility} - Control which bean constructors are visible to Juno.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanClassVisibility} - Control which bean classes are interpreted as beans to Juno.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanFieldVisibility} - Control which fields are visible to Juno as bean properties.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanMethodVisibility} - Control which getters/setters are visible to Juno as bean properties.
  Removed BeanContext.INCLUDE_BEAN_FIELD_PROPERTIES and BeanContext.INCLUDE_BEAN_METHOD_PROPERTIES properties, since ignoring fields and methods can be accomplished by setting the appropriate properties above to {@link org.apache.juneau.Visibility#NONE NONE}. Also, the {@del @BeanProperty} annotation can now be used on non-public fields/getters/setters to override the default behavior defined by the VISIBILITY properties identified above. This is a convenient way of identifying protected or private fields or methods as bean properties. Previously, you could only identify public fields/getters/setters using this annotation.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_useJavaBeanIntrospector} property that lets Juno use the Java bean Introspector class to determine bean properties. In the previous release, the method for determining bean properties was a mixture of Juno-based and Introspector-based. Now it's either pure Juno-based or pure Introspector-based. The result is considerably cleaner code and consistent behavior.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore} annotation. Replaces the previous {@del @BeanProperty(hidden=true)} annotation for ignoring bean properties. Can also be used on classes that look like beans so that they're not treated as beans.
- Support for parsing into non-static member classes. This applies to all parsers.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json#wrapperAttr() @Json(wrapperAttr)} annotation that automatically wraps beans and objects in a wrapper attribute when serializing to or parsing from JSON.
- Changed the default ordering of bean properties to be in parent-to-child class order.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter#readProperty(Object,String,Object) readProperty()} and {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter#writeProperty(Object,String,Object) writeProperty()} methods added to {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter} class to allow individualized serialization and parsing behavior on a class-by-class basis.
- Eliminated previous restriction where bean subtype attributes had to be listed first in JSON objects when using the {@del Bean#subTypeProperty()} annotation. The previous behavior was not strictly JSON-compliant since JSON objects are supposed to consist of unordered lists of key/value pairs. While targeted for JSON, the restriction is also lifted for all other parsers.
- New fluent-style {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanMap#load(String) BeanMap.load()} methods for initializing bean maps.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} will now embed the data portion of the output in a <div id='data'> element to make it easier to extract the data portion of the page in Javascript in browsers.

##### REST Server API updates

- New {@del RestRequest#getJavaMethod()} method for getting access to the method used to handle a request. Useful for accessing the method name or annotations during requests, such as in calls to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestGuard#guard(RestRequest,RestResponse)}.
- Fixed bug when using Jetty where you tried to read text input after a header was written.
- Added new string variables $A{...} (request attributes) and $P{...} (request parameters) to RestServlet.createRequestVarResolver(RestRequest).

### 5.1.0.4 (Aug 25, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.4 is a minor update.

- New {@del RestServlet#getPath()} method.
- New SerializerContext.getJavaMethod() and ParserContext.getJavaMethod() to allow access to REST methods that invoked the serializers or parsers. For example, can be used to access additional annotations on REST methods to perform special handing during serialization or parsing.
- Better behavior on overriding of filters in BeanContext.addTransforms(Class[]). Previously, adding multiple conflicting filters resulted in random behavior. Now filters are overridden when multiple matching filters are applied.
- Allow {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext} properties to be set via {@del Serializer#setProperty(String,Object)}. Previously, these could only be defined through override properties (e.g. through REST class and method annotations).
- Fixed memory leak in XML parser.

### 5.1.0.5 (Sept 1, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.5 is a moderate update.

- New {@del Redirect} class that simplifies performing redirections in REST methods.
- New pluggable {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.ResponseHandler} class and {@del @RestResource(responseHandlers)} annotation for defining customer response handlers for special kinds of POJOs.
- New method {@del UrlEncodingSerializer#serializeUrlPart(Object)} method.
- New method {@del RestRequest#getServletURIBuilder()} for construcing servlet-based URLs more efficiently.
- New method {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getNegotiatedOutputStream()} that uses encoders if a match is found, and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getOutputStream()} that just return the underlying output stream without any modifications.
- Fixed bug where some properties were not being propagated correctly when using {@del CoreObject#setProperties(ObjectMap)} on serializer and parser subclasses.
- Fixed bug in {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer} where URL keys in Maps were not being serialized as hyperlinks.
- Fixed bug in {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer} where "_class" and "items" attributes were not quoted in strict mode when using SERIALIZER_addClassAttrs feature.
- Fixed bug where Content-Encoding andCharacter-Encoding headers were being set when calling {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getOutputStream()}. These should not be set if interacting with the output streams at a low level.
- Eliminated various convenience RestResponse.sendRedirect(...) methods due to the introduction of the {@del Redirect} class.

### 5.1.0.6 (Sept 21, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.6 is a moderate update.

- Simplified API for {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap}. Since it's rarely used, the beanContext parameter was replaced with a {@del PojoSwap#getBeanContext()} method on the class.
- New simplified way of defining POJO filters without needing to extend {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap}. See {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.SurrogateSwap} for details.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html @Html} annotation. Will allow the definition of standard XHTML DTOs in future releases. For now, {@del Img} is an example of defining an XHTML element using Juno DTOs.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser} now ignores trailing ';' characters in input so that it can parse strings of the form "var x = {'foo':'bar'};".
- New TumblrParserResource in the samples war file showing how to combine the REST client and server APIs into a single resource in order to download Tumblr blogs and convert the response into any supported response content type.

### 5.1.0.7 (Oct 5, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.7 is a moderate update.

- Improved error handling.
- New {@del ParserContext#PARSER_debug} and {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_debug}. settings for logging additional information for debugging problems.
- New {@del SERIALIZER_ignoreRecursions} setting for explicitly ignoring recursions when serializing models. Previously, the SERIALIZER_detectRecursions setting did this, but now it simply looks for recursions and throws exceptions when they occur.
- Improved handling of StackOverflowErrors. When SERIALIZER_detectRecursions is enabled, a useful error message is displayed showing the exact chain of objects that resulted in the stack overflow.
- Bug fixes in {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.ResultSetList} for Oracle and SQL Server.
- Serializers and parsers can now access HTTP request attributes, parameters, and headers through SerializerContext.getProperties() and ParserContext.getProperties().
- Removed media-type and encoding attributes from {@del SerializerContext} and {@del ParserContext} since these are now available through context properties, and are typically not used.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlParser} now accepts application/xml.
- Improved handling of bean property serialization when multiple matching pojo filters for the bean property class exist.
- Improved concurrency on BeanContext class.
- Fixed bug in {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.converters.Traversable} that was causing it to be executed even if the servlet extra path info was empty.
- Fixed bug in {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.converters.Traversable} where it was not picking up filters and properties defined on REST Java methods.

### 5.1.0.8 (Oct 25, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.8 is a moderate update, focused primarily on performance improvements.

- Improved performance on JSON and URL-Encoding parsers by approximately 50% on large data sets.
  - Rewrote {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserReader} class to handle it's own buffering. The change allowed several optimizations to be made when dealing with JSON and URL-Encoding text by avoiding char array copies.
  - Added a estimatedSize parameter to the {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser} parse methods to optimize buffering when the input size is known beforehand.
- Revamped the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} API to perform better in multi-threaded environments.
  - Introduced a new BeanPropertyStore class that handles creation of {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} objects. This allows BeanContext objects to be considered immutable, and therefore cacheable/reusable by the framework. While this was technically possible to cache these objects beforehand, it relied on a locking mechanism to prevent bean contexts from being modified after being created. The new mechanism is much more straightforward.
- Modifications to the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client} APIs to make it easier to work with custom Apache HTTP clients.
  - Added overridable {@del RestClient#createHttpClient()} to allow customized subclasses to construct customized HTTP clients.
  - Removed the DefaultRestClient class since it's now fully redundant with RestClient.
  - Added RestClient.shutdown() method for cleaning up the internal HTTP client when you're done using a REST client.

### 5.1.0.9 (Dec 1, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.9 is a major update. There weren't very many code changes, but the source has been made a part of Jazz Foundation. This required some restructuring of the project. The project on Jazz Hub will eventually be discontinued. However, the libraries on IBM Community Source will continue to be updated regularly.

- Project split up into 3 separate bundles:
  - org.apache.juneau - Core serializers and parsers.
  - org.apache.juneau.rest - REST server component.
  - org.apache.juneau.rest.client - REST client component.
- Code changes to facilitate breaking up bundles:
  - org.apache.juneau.rest.labels.Link class moved to {@del Link}.
  - References to org.apache.juneau.rest.RestException in {@link org.apache.juneau.encoders.Encoder} class changed to IOException.
- Changed configuration names for consistency with Jazz Framework.
- {@del RestClient#execute(HttpUriRequest)} method that allows subclasses to handle their own HTTP request execution.
- Changes in JazzRestClient to handle introduction of SSO support in v6.
- &plainText debug feature was broken.
- Removed double-buffering in RestRequest.
- Metadata cleanup, Find Bug fixes.

### 5.1.0.10 (Dec 23, 2014)

Juno 5.1.0.10 is a moderate update.

##### Core

- Major changes to URL-Encoded serializer and parser.
  - Logic for serializing and parsing URL-Encoded key-value pairs moved to {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser} classes.
  - Logic for serializing and parsing URL-Encoded values moved to new {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} classes.
- Fix bug where BeanRuntimeExceptions weren't being thrown on subsequent calls to {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#getClassMeta(Class)}.
- Moved logic for BeanContext.getPrimitiveDefault(Class) to new {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta#getPrimitiveDefault()} method for performance reasons.
- Fixed bug in {@del BeanContext#addTransforms(Class[])} that would cause filter order to get messed up.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta#newInstance()} can now create array instances.
- Fixed indentation bugs in {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer}.
- Fixed issue in {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer} where newlines were not being converted into line breaks.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer#toString(Object)} method that's identical to the serialize method but throws RuntimeExceptions to make the serializer easier to use for debugging.

##### Server

- Fixed major issue that prevented parsing URL-Encoded form posts into POJOs. Calling {@del HttpServlet#getParameter(String)} was forcing the underlying servlet code to process the HTTP body itself, preventing the UrlEncodingSerializer class from being able to parse the content. Updated code no longer inadvertantly calls this method.
- New {@del RestRequest#getQueryParameter(String)}, {@del RestRequest#hasQueryParameter(String)}, and {@del RestRequest#hasAnyQueryParameters(String[])} methods that only look for parameters in the URL query string to prevent loading and parsing of URL-Encoded form posts.
- New {@del @QParam} and {@del @HasQParam} annotations for accessing query parameters from the URL query string.
- &plainText parameter can now specify a false value.
- Removed properties parameters from {@del RestServlet#onPreCall(RestRequest)} and {@del RestServlet#onPostCall(RestRequest,RestResponse)} methods since the properties are already accessible through RestRequest.getProperties().
- Added {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} to serializer and parser lists on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} and {@del RestServletJenaDefault}.

##### Client

- Moved to Apache HttpClient 4.3 to match Jazz 6.0.
- Renamed RestResponseEntity to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestRequestEntity}.
- Improved performance on URL-Encoded form posts by serializing directly to output stream instead of serialized to string first.
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} class that makes it easier to associate serializer and parser attributes with registered serializer and parser:
  - {@del RestClient#setProperty(String,Object)}
  - {@del RestClient#setProperties(ObjectMap)}
  - {@del RestClient#addNotBeanClasses(Class[])}
  - {@del RestClient#addTransforms(Class[])}
  - {@del RestClient#addImplClass(Class,Class)}
- Renamed RestClient.shutdown() to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#close()} to mirror change in Apache API.

##### Samples

- New CodeFormatterResource for quickly formatting Java and XML code samples in Javadocs.
- New UrlEncodedFormResource for showing how to work with URL-Encoded form posts.

  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncoding#expandedParams() @UrlEncoding(expandedParams)} annotation that specifies that bean properties of type array/Collection be serialized as multi-part parameters (e.g. &key=val1&key=val2).
- New {@del JsonSerializerContext#JSON_escapeSolidus} property for controlling whether slash characters should be escaped.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.internal.TeeOutputStream} and {@del org.apache.juneau.internal.TeeWriter} classes.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta#isInstance(Object)} method.

- &noTrace=true now prevents any errors from being logged in log file.
- Workaround for Jetty issue where ServletContext.getContextPath() always ends with "null".
- RestServletProperties.REST_allowMethodParam is now true by default on all subclasses of {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} and {@del RestServletJenaDefault}.

##### Client

- New method {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCall#allowRedirectsOnPosts(boolean)}.
- New method RestCall.peekInputStream() allows you to read response bodies without interrupting execution flow.
- New method {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCall#toString()} now useful for debugging purposes. Shows all request/response headers and bodies.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestCallException} now includes HttpResponse object for easier debugging.
- New method RestClient.addListener(RestClientListener) for registering request/response listeners.

- New {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_nowrap} setting for {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} class. Adds "* {white-space:nowrap}" to the style header to prevent word wrapping.
- Fixed bug in {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.UonParser} where passing in a blank value on an array or collection type in a form post would cause a ClassCastException. New behavior creates an empty array or Collection.
- Improved implementation of {@del UrlEncodingSerializer#serializeUrlPart(Object)} method.

##### Server

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestConverter} API fixed to handle the existence of POJO filters. {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.converters.Introspectable}/{@del org.apache.juneau.rest.converters.Queryable}/{@del org.apache.juneau.rest.converters.Traversable} classes can now work with filtered POJOs.
- {@del @RestResource(messages)} annotation can now be defined on super and subclasses so that NLS messages can be defined in multiple resource bundles.

  - Support for serializing arrays/collections as RDF bags, RDF lists, and multi-valued properties.
  - Fixed warning message about "tab" setting when using the N3/Turtle serializers.
- New {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_sortCollections} and {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_sortMaps} properties.
- FindBug fixes.

##### Server

- New {@del RestRequest#getServletParentURI()} method.

  - {@del RestServlet#createRequestVarResolver(RestRequest)} so that subclasses can override and augment the variable resolver.
  - {@del RestServlet#resolveChild(Class)} and {@del RestServlet#replaceChild(RestServlet)} classes that allows customized resolution of servlet instances (e.g. if services are defined in OSGi).
- Reverted the {@del MethodDescription} back to 5.1.0.16 since it was being used by someone.

### 5.1.0.19 (Aug 15, 2015)

Juno 5.1.0.19 is a minor update in terms of core functionality. But it introduces a {@del Microservices} project for building REST microservices and docker containers.

- New {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#include(String[])} and {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#exclude(String[])} methods.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html @Html} annotations can now be applied to bean properties.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.utils.IOPipe} utility class.
- Behavior change on {@del StringVarResolver}. null input now results in blank strings instead of null.

- Added {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#properties() @Bean.properties} annotations to the various classes in org.apache.juneau.rest.labels so that the order of the bean properties are consistent on all JVMs. On IBM JVMs this is unnecessary because the order of the properties as defined in the class are stored in the bytecode. Other JVMs such as OpenJRE do not implement this feature causing the bean properties to be in random order.
- New {@del ResourceDescription#ResourceDescription(RestRequest,String,String)} constructor.

### 5.1.0.20 (Sept 5, 2015)

Juno 5.1.0.20 is a moderate update. The biggest improvement is the ability to associate external INI config files with REST servlets using the {@del ConfigFile} functionality.

##### Core

- Significant API changes to org.apache.juneau.config API.
  - {@del ConfigFile} is now thread safe and can be shared across multiple threads.
  - New {@del ConfigMgr} class for managing configuration files.
  - Serializers and parsers can be associated with config files for storing and retrieving POJOs. Default support provided for JSON.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.html.SimpleHtmlWriter} class. Can be used for simple HTML DOM construction.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.ProcBuilder} class for calling external processes.
- New {@del ObjectMap#remove(Class,String,Object)} method.
- "class='link'" added to links generated by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.
- New {@del EncoderGroup#append(EncoderGroup)} method.
- New HtmlDocSerializerContext.HTMLDOC_addLinks configuration property.
- Modified the Parser.createContext(ObjectMap,Method,Object) method. Outer context objects can be passed in to create instances of non-static inner classes.
- Fixed bug in {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlStrippedDocSerializer} where exception was thrown when trying to serialize primitive arrays.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonParser} now handles parsing JSON boolean/numeric values as strings to bean properties of type boolean or number.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.UrlEncodingParser} now represent arrays and collections as key-value pairs where the keys are numbers (e.g. "?0=foo&1=bar").
- Various internal improvements to {@link org.apache.juneau.utils.IOPipe}.
- New {@del ReflectionUtils#getResource(Class,String)} method.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.internal.StringUtils#parseNumber(String,Class)} now returns zero for empty strings. This affects the way most parsers handle blank values.

##### Server

- You can now parse into non-static inner classes of a servlet for parameters/attributes/content. Useful if you like to define your marshaller beans inside your servlet.
- Changes to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}:
  - New methods for accessing external INI config files:
    {@del RestServlet#getConfig()}
    {@del RestServlet#createConfigFile()}
  - New "$C{...}" variable that resolve to INI config file values.
  - New "$UE{...}" variable that URL-encodes the value inside the variable.
  - New convenience methods for retrieving classpath resource files:
    {@del RestServlet#getResource(String)}
    {@del RestServlet#getResourceAsString(String)}
    {@del RestServlet#getResource(Class,String,String)}. Useful if you want to load predefined POJOs from JSON files in your classpath.
  - New {@del RestServlet#handleNotFound(int,RestRequest,RestResponse)} method for customized handling of when a resource or method was not found.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} now automatically processes "/favicon.ico" requests by overriding the new {@del RestServlet#handleNotFound(int,RestRequest,RestResponse)} method.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest} methods:
  - {@del RestRequest#resolveVars(String)}
  - RestRequest.getVarResource(String)
  - {@del RestRequest#getConfig()}
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse} methods:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getDirectWriter(String)}.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getNegotiatedWriter()}. getWriter() now returns an unnegotiated writer. getUnbufferedWriter() has been removed.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#encoders() @RestMethod(encoders)} and {@del RestMethod#inheritEncoders()} annotations. Allows encoders to be fine-tuned at the method level.
- New {@del @RestResource(config)} annotation for associating external {@del ConfigFile} config files with servlets.
- {@del ResourceLink}.
- New org.apache.juneau.rest.matcher package for commonly-used {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestMatcher RestMatchers}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.matchers#MultipartFormDataMatcher}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.matchers#UrlEncodedFormMatcher}

##### Microservice

- New juneau-microservice.jar file that encapsulates all 3 juneau jars with code necessary for creating fast and efficent jetty-powered REST microservices.
  Contains the following:
  - Jetty 8.0
  - Apache HttpClient 4.3.5
  - Apache Commons FileUpload 1.3.1
- Microservice now supports Java 6 (previously required Java 7)

### 5.2.0.0 (Dec 30, 2015)

Juno 5.2.0.0 is a major update. Major changes have been made to the microservice architecture and config INI file APIs.

##### Core

- Significant changes and enhancements to the org.apache.juneau.config API.
  - More consistent handling of comma-delimited lists of objects.
  - New methods in {@del ConfigFile}:
    - {@del ConfigFile#getStringArray(String)},{@del ConfigFile#getStringArray(String,String[])}
    - {@del ConfigFile#getSectionAsBean(String,Class)} - Instantiate a new bean with property values in the specified section..
    - {@del ConfigFile#writeProperties(String,Object,boolean,Class[])} - Copy the properties in a config file section into properties on an existing bean or POJO.
    - {@del ConfigFile#getSectionMap(String)} - Get all the resolved values in a section.
    - {@del ConfigFile#containsNonEmptyValue(String)}
    - {@del ConfigFile#isEncoded(String)}
    - {@del ConfigFile#addListener(ConfigFileListener)} - Listen for modification events on the config file.
    - {@del ConfigFile#merge(ConfigFile)} - Merge the contents of another config file into this config file.
    - {@del ConfigFile#getResolving()}, {@del ConfigFile#getResolving(StringVarResolver)} - Return an instance of the config file that resolves string variables. Much more efficient than the previous design since the same underlying config file object is shared.
    - {@del ConfigFile#toWritable()} - Wraps the config file in a {@del org.apache.juneau.Writable} interface so that it can be serialized by the REST interface as a plain-text INI file instead of as a serialized POJO.
    - {@del ConfigFile#getInt(String)} - Now supports "M" and "K" to identify millions and thousands.
  - New methods in {@del ConfigMgr}:
    - {@del ConfigMgr#create()}, {@del ConfigMgr#create(Reader)}, {@del ConfigMgr#create(File)}
    - {@del ConfigMgr#deleteAll()}
  - New methods in {@del Section}:
    - {@del Section#setParent(ConfigFileImpl)} - Used by parsers to set the config file for this section.
    - {@del Section#setName(String)} - Used by parsers to set the name for this section.
  - New interfaces:
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.config.ConfigFileListener}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.config.SectionListener}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.config.EntryListener}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.config.Encoder} methods have access to field names to use them as salt values.
  - The name of the default section is now "default". Before it was just null.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.config.XorEncoder} XOR key can be overridden through the "org.apache.juneau.config.XorEncoder.key" system property.
- Support for converting Strings to POJOs if the POJO class has any of the following static methods:
  - fromString(String)
  - valueOf(String) (e.g. enums)
  - parse(String) (e.g. logging Level class)
  - parseString(String)
  - forName(String) (e.g. Class and Charset classes)
- Support for parsing into objects with unbound type variables. For example, if you have a class Pair<S,T> and you try to parse into this class (e.g. parser.parse(in, Pair.class)), the unbound type variables is interpreted as Object instead of throwing an exception.
- Support for serializing/parsing the following new types:
  - AtomicInteger
  - AtomicLong
  - BigInteger
  - BigDecimal
- Parsers have been enhanced to allow parent POJOs and field names to be passed into child POJOs. New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NameProperty @NameProperty} and {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentProperty @ParentProperty} annotations are provided for identifying methods for setting names and parent POJOs on child POJOs. For example, the config file {@del Section} class represents a section in a config file. It needs to know it's own name and have a link to the {@del ConfigFile} that it belongs to. With these new annotations, config files can be reconstructed using any of the parsers.
- New classes and interfaces:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.Streamable} interface for identifying objects that can be serialized directly to an output stream.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.Writable} interface for identifying objects that can be serialized directly to a writer.

- {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.CalendarSwap} and {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.DateSwap} classes now handle blank input better. Returns null instead of throwing an exception.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} specifies the default CSS location as /servletPath/style.css instead of /servletPath/htdocs/juneau.css. This coincides with enhancements made in the server code for specifying styles.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer} wraps output in two div tags instead of one (e.g. <div class='outerdata'><div class='data' id='data'>...</div></div>). Needed for supporting the new devops look-and-feel.

### 6.0.0 (Oct 3, 2016)

Juneau 6.0.0 is a major update.

The major change is rebranding from "Juno" to "Juneau" in preparation for donation to the Apache Foundation.

##### org.apache.juneau

- Major changes around how serializer and parser class properties are defined to improve performance and concurrency.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.PropertyStore} class - Used for creating context objects.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.Context} class - Read-only configurations for serializers and parsers.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.Session} class - One-time use objects used by serializers and parsers.
  - All context context properties can now also be specified via system properties.
- Refactored serializer and parser APIs for more consistency between stream-based and character-based serializers and parsers.
  - More consistent handling of exceptions.
  - More consistent method declarations.
- Refactored var resolver API and added them to a new package - org.apache.juneau.svl.
  - Support for stream-based variables - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.StreamedVar}.
  - Added support for context and session objects.
- Eliminated "_class" properties and replaced them with "_type" properties. The class properties were a little-used feature where we would serialize fully-qualified class names when the class type could not be inferred through reflection. It's been replaced with bean type names and bean dictionaries. Instead of class names, we serialize "_type" properties whose name is the type name defined on the bean being serialized. The parsers use a 'dictionary' of bean classes to resolve those names to actual bean classes. The following features were added to enable this support:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} - Annotation that defines an identifying name for a bean class.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilterBuilder#typeName(String)} - Programmatic equivalent to annotation above.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanDictionary} - List of bean classes that make up the bean dictionary for lookup during parsing.
  - {@del BEAN_beanTypePropertyName} - The overridable type property name. Default is "_type".
  - {@del @BeanProperty(beanDictionary)} - Define a type dictionary for a particular bean property value. This overrides the value specified using {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_beanDictionary}.
  - {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_addBeanTypeProperties} - Controls whether type properties are serialized.
  In addition, the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)} value replaces the @Xml(name) annotation, and the "type" and "_class" attributes in the XML and HTML serializers have been standardized on a single "_type" attribute.
- Refactor bean filter support to use {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilterBuilder} class. Allows the BeanFilter class to use final fields.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack MessagePack} support.
- Serializers can now serialize directly to {@link java.io.File Files}. See {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer#serialize(Object,Object)}
- Parsers can now parse directly from {@link java.io.File Files} and other types. See {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,ClassMeta)}
- Parsers will automatically covert numeric input to POJOs that have numeric constructors (e.g. java.util.Date).
- Renamed 'Filters' to 'BeanFilters' and 'PojoSwaps'. Filters is just too overloaded a term.
- Internal utility classes moved to a new org.apache.juneau.internal package. These internal utility classes are not meant for consumption outside the Juneau codebase.
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser}:
  - org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.createSession(ObjectMap,Method,Object)
  - {@del Parser#getMediaRanges()}
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer}:
  - org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.createSession(ObjectMap,Method)
  - {@del Serializer#getMediaRanges()}
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#sort() @Bean(sort)} annotation.
- Added @Bean.properties annotations on various DTO beans to make the ordering consistent between IBM and Oracle JVMs.
  IBM JVMs maintain the order of methods in a class, whereas Oracle JVMs do not.
- Serializers and parsers now automatically convert {@link java.lang.Class} objects to readable names via {@del ClassUtils#getReadableClassName(Class)}.
- Eliminated the ClassFilter class since it's no longer needed.
- Code and concurrency improvements to {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerGroup} and {@del org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserGroup}.
- Various enhancements to {@del BeanContext#convertToType(Object,Class)}.
- New properties on {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer}:
  - {@del HtmlSerializerContext#HTML_detectLinksInStrings} - Automatically detect hyperlinks in strings.
  - {@del HtmlSerializerContext#HTML_lookForLabelParameters} - Specify anchor text by appending &label=MyLabel to URL.
  - {@del HtmlSerializerContext#HTML_labelParameter} - Specify what URL parameter to use as the anchor text label.
  - {@del HtmlSerializerContext#URI_ANCHOR} option for {@del HtmlSerializerContext#HTML_uriAnchorText}.
- Removed generics from {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanPropertyMeta}.
- Introduced new classes to eliminate the references to language-specific metadata in the core metadata classes:
  - {@del ClassMetaExtended} / {@del ClassMeta#getExtendedMeta(Class)}
  - {@del BeanMetaExtended} /{@del BeanMeta#getExtendedMeta(Class)}
  - {@del BeanPropertyMetaExtended} / {@del BeanPropertyMeta#getExtendedMeta(Class)}
- Renamed @Transform annotation to {@del @Pojo} so that it can be used for various POJO-related behavior, not just associating transforms.
- Introduced {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger Swagger DTOs}.

##### org.apache.juneau.rest

- OPTIONS pages replaced with Swagger documents. Lots of changes related to supporting Swagger.
  - Annotation name changes to conform to Swagger specs: @Attr->@Path, @QParam->@Query, @Param->@FormData, @Content->@Body
  - Eliminated ResourceOptions and related code.
  - New annotations and related methods:
    - {@del @RestResource(title)} / {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider#getTitle(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(description)} / {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider#getDescription(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(termsOfService)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getTermsOfService(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(contact)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getContact(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(license)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getLicense(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(version)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getVersion(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(tags)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getTags(RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestResource(externalDocs)} / {@del RestInfoProvidergetExternalDocs(RestRequest)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#summary() @RestMethod(summary)} / {@del RestInfoProvider#getMethodSummary(String,RestRequest)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#description() @RestMethod(description)} /{@del RestInfoProvider#getMethodDescription(String,RestRequest)}
    - {@del @RestMethod(externalDocs)}
    - {@del @RestMethod(tags)}
    - {@del @RestMethod(deprecated)}
    - {@del @RestMethod(parameters)}
    - {@del @RestMethod(responses)}
- New {@del RestServletContext#paramFormat} context property.

- byte[] arrays can now be passed to {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,Class)} for reader-based parsers.

### 6.1.0 (Feb 25, 2017)

Juneau 6.1.0 is a major update.

In particular, this release cleans up the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} API to match the {@link org.apache.juneau.PropertyStore}/{@link org.apache.juneau.Context}/{@link org.apache.juneau.Session} paradigm previously used in the serializer and parser APIs. It also makes several improvements to the HTML and XML serialization support and introduces HTML5 DTO beans.

##### org.apache.juneau

- Improvements to XML serialization support.
  - New supported XML formats:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTRS} format can now be applied to bean classes to have all bean properties serialized as attributes instead of elements by default.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ELEMENT} format can now be applied to bean properties to override the {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ATTRS} setting above on specific bean properties.
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#ELEMENTS} format can be applied to a bean property of type array/Collection to represent the child elements.
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED} format can be applied to a bean property of type array/Collection to represent mixed content (text + child elements).
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#MIXED_PWS} format. Identical to MIXED except preserves whitespace.
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT} format can be applied to a bean property of a single object to represent a text node as a child.
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT_PWS} format. Identical to TEXT except preserves whitespace.
    - New {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#XMLTEXT} format that's identical to {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlFormat#TEXT} except XML content is not escaped and serialized directly as the child content. The parser will reconvert this to the original XML text during parsing.
  - New support methodology and other improvements to {@del org.apache.juneau.xml} documentation.
  - Eliminated unnecessary <string> elements.
  - Eliminated {@del XmlContentHandler} class.
  - Parser efficiency improvements through reuse of string builders.
  - Reworked and simplified the default XML serializers. The {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT} serializer now has namespaces disabled, and {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.XmlSerializer#DEFAULT_NS} has namespaces enabled. The 'XML-JSON' serializers have been eliminated.
  - Eliminated the addJsonTypeAttrs and addJsonStringTypeAttrs settings.
  - Namespace support is now disabled by default.
- Significant modifications and improvements to HTML serialization support.
  - Parser converted from XMLEventReader-based to XMLStreamReader.
  - Eliminated many unnecessary type tags and <string> elements and improved the readable layout. The new format is much leaner.
  - New exhaustive support methodology section added to {@del org.apache.juneau.html} documentation.
- New HTML5 DTO support: {@del org.apache.juneau.dto.html5}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} class split into separate {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext} and {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession} classes.
  - Session object meant to be single-use that can be discarded after use and contains session-level object cache and overridable Locale and TimeZone.
- {@del SerializerContext} and {@del ParserContext} now extend directly from {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSession} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserSession} now extend directly from {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession}.
- New settings in {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext}:
  - {@del BEAN_debug} - Debug setting. Replaces individual debug properties in the serializer and parser contexts.
  - {@del BEAN_locale} - Specifies a default locale at the context level.
  - {@del BEAN_timeZone} - Specifies a default timezone at the context level.
  - {@del BEAN_mediaType} - Specifies a default media type at the context level.
- Improvements to Parser class:
  - Simplified the parse methods (e.g. parseMap(), parseCollection()) by replacing them with two simple methods:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,Class)} - Normal method.
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#parse(Object,Type,Type...)} - Method for parsing into parameterized maps and collections.
    Using these methods, you can construct arbitrarily complex objects consisting of maps and collections. You could do this before, but it required constructing a ClassMeta object.
    For example:

    // Old way: ClassMeta<?> cm = parser.getMapClassMeta( HashMap.class, String.class, parser.getCollectionClassMeta( LinkedList.class, MyBean.class ) ); Map<String,List<MyBean>> map = (Map<String,List<MyBean>>)parser.parse(input, cm); // New way: Map<String,List<MyBean>> map = parser.parse(input, HashMap.class, String.class, LinkedList.class, MyBean.class);

  - Arbitrarily-complex parameterized maps and collections can now be parsed without the need for creating intermediate ClassMeta objects.
  - No need for casting anymore if you were using the old parseMap() and parseCollection() methods!
  - Changes allow me to eliminate BeanContext.normalizeClassMeta() method.
  - Convenience methods added for setting parser properties:

    // Old way: new JsonParser().setProperty(PARSER_strict, true).setProperty(BEAN_locale, mylocale); // New way: new JsonParser().setStrict(true).setLocale(mylocale);

- Improvements to Serializer class:
  - Convenience methods added for setting serializer properties:

    // Old way: new JsonSerializer().setProperty(JSON_simpleMode, true).setProperty(SERIALIZER_quoteChar, '"'); // New way: new JsonSerializer().setSimpleMode(true).setQuoteChar('"');

- Simplified {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap} class. Now just two methods:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap#swap(BeanSession,Object)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap#unswap(BeanSession,Object,ClassMeta)}
- General code improvements made to {@link org.apache.juneau.ClassMeta} class.
  - All fields are now final which should improve overall performance.
  - Replaced support for toObjectMap() and fromObjectMap()/T(ObjectMap) methods with generalized swap(BeanSession)/unswap(BeanSession,X)/T(BeanSession,X) methods.
    See new section Swap methods for information.
- Session-level media type now available through {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession#getMediaType()} method. Allows for swaps and serializer/parser behavior to be tailored to individual media types.
- Several new {@link java.util.Calendar} and {@link java.util.Date} swaps:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.CalendarSwap.ToString},{@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.DateSwap.ToString} - To {@link java.lang.String Strings} using the {@code Date.toString()} method.

- General improvements to Bean Dictionary support.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanDictionaryList} class can be used for defining reusable sets of bean dictionaries consisting of classes annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)}.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanDictionaryMap} class can be used for defining reusable sets of bean dictionaries consisting of classes not annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#typeName() @Bean(typeName)}.
  - New {@del @Bean(beanDictionary)} annotation.
- Removed restriction on getters and setters to be prefixed with "getX/setX/isX" if a {@del @BeanProperty(name)} annotation is used.

### 6.2.0 (Apr 28, 2017)

Juneau 6.2.0 is a major update.

##### org.apache.juneau

- Revamped the serializer, parser classes to use builders for creation. Serializers and parsers are now unmodifiable objects once they are created. This is a breaking code change that will require adoption.

  /* Creating a new serializer or parser */ // Old way WriterSerializer s = new JsonSerializer().setUseWhitespace(true).pojoSwaps(BSwap.class).lock(); // New way WriterSerializer s = JsonSerializer.create().ws().pojoSwaps(BSwap.class).build(); /* Cloning an existing serializer or parser */ // Old way WriterSerializer s = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT .clone().setUseWhitespace(true).pojoSwaps(BSwap.class).lock(); // New way WriterSerializer s = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT .builder().ws().pojoSwaps(BSwap.class).build();

- Also introduced the following builder classes and related architecture changes to make the built objects unmodifiable:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerGroup.Builder}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserGroup.Builder}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderGroup.Builder}
- Revamped the config file API to use a build: {@del ConfigFileBuilder}.
- Removed the {@del Lockable} interface.
- New addBeanTypeProperties setting added to serializers to override the {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_addBeanTypeProperties} setting for individual serializers in a serializer group:
  - {@del HtmlSerializerContext#HTML_addBeanTypeProperties}
  - {@del JsonSerializerContext#JSON_addBeanTypeProperties}
  - {@del MsgPackSerializerContext#MSGPACK_addBeanTypeProperties}
  - {@del UonSerializerContext#UON_addBeanTypeProperties}

  - Whitespace wasn't being ignored in some cases.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser} can now parse full body contents generated by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.
- Parse-args supported added to {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.MsgPackParser} to allow it to be used in remoteable proxies.
- Added some convenience classes for constructing collections using a fluent interface:
  - {@del AList}

##### org.apache.juneau.rest

- {@del @RestResource} annotation can now be applied to any class! You're no longer restricted to subclassing your resources from {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}.
  This is a major enhancement in the API. Anything you could do by subclassing from RestServlet should have an equivalent for non-RestServlet classes.
  The only restriction is that the top-level resource must subclass from RestServlet. Child resources do not.
  The majority of code has been split up into two separate classes:
  - {@del RestConfig} - A modifiable configuration of a resource. Subclasses from {@link javax.servlet.ServletConfig}.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext} - A read-only configuration that's the result of a snapshot of the config.
  The {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet} class now has the following initialization method that allows you to override the config settings define via annotations:
  - {@del RestServlet#init(RestConfig)} - A modifiable configuration of a resource.
  Non-RestServlet classes must have one of the following to allow it to be instantiated:
  - A public T(RestConfig) constructor.
  - A public T() constructor.
  - The parent resource must have a customized {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResourceResolver} for instantiating it.
  Non-RestServlet classes can optionally include the following init methods to gain access to the config and context:
  - public init(RestConfig)
  - public init(RestContext)
- New annotations added to {@del @RestResource} to allow non-RestServlet resources to do the same as subclassing directly from RestServlet:
  - {@del RestResource#resourceResolver()} - Specify a {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResourceResolver} class for resolving child resources.
  - {@del RestResource#callHandler()} - Specify a {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler} class for handling the lifecycle of a REST call.
  - {@del RestResource#infoProvider()} - Specify a {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider} class for customizing title/description/Swagger information on a REST resource.
  - {@del RestResource#logger()} - Specify a {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestLogger} class for handling logging.
- New annotations added to {@del @RestResource} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod} to simplify defining page title, text, and links on HTML views:
  - {@del @RestResource(pageTitle)}
  - {@del @RestMethod(pageTitle)}
  - {@del @RestResource(pageText)}
  - {@del @RestMethod(pageText)}
  - {@del @RestResource(pageLinks)}
  - {@del @RestMethod(pageLinks)}

  // Old method @RestResource( properties={ @Property(name=HTMLDOC_title, value="System properties resource"), @Property(name=HTMLDOC_description, value="REST interface for performing CRUD operations on system properties."), @Property(name=HTMLDOC_navlinks, value="{up:'$R{requestParentURI}',options:'?method=OPTIONS'}") } ) // New method @RestResource( pageTitle="System properties resource", pageDescription="REST interface for performing CRUD operations on system properties.", pageLinks="{up:'$R{requestParentURI}',options:'?method=OPTIONS'}" )

  Typically you're going to simply want to use the title and description annotations which apply to both the page title/text and the swagger doc:

  @RestResource( title="System properties resource", description="REST interface for performing CRUD operations on system properties.", pageLinks="{up:'$R{requestParentURI}',options:'?method=OPTIONS'}" )

- {@del RestResource#stylesheet()} can now take in a comma-delimited list of stylesheet paths.
- {@del StreamResource} can now contain multiple sources from a variety of source types (e.g. byte[] arrays, InputStreams, Files, etc...) and is now immutable. It also includes a new {@del StreamResourceBuilder} class.
- Simplified remoteable proxies using the @RestMethod(name="PROXY") annotation on REST methods. Used to expose interface proxies without the need for {@del RemoteableServlet}.

  // Server side @RestMethod(name="PROXY", path="/myproxy/*") public IAddressBook getProxy() { return addressBook; } // Client side RestClient client = RestClient.create().rootUrl(samplesUrl).build(); IAddressBook ab = client.getRemoteableProxy(IAddressBook.class, "/addressBook/myproxy");

  See {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#name() @RestMethod(name)} for more information.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#toString()} can be called at any time to view the headers and content of the request without affecting functionality. Very useful for debugging.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#name() @RestMethod(name)} annotation is now optional. Defaults to "GET".

##### org.apache.juneau.rest.client

- Revamped the client API to use builders.
- New doc: 1.5 - Debugging
- The RestClient class doX(Object url) methods now handle HttpClient URIBuilder instances.
- New methods added/updated to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient}:

  - {@del RestClient.Builder#paramFormat(String)}
  - {@del RestClient.Builder#plainTextParams()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#noTrace() noTrace()} - Adds a No-Trace: true header on all requests to prevent the servlet from logging errors.
    Useful for testing scenarios when you don't want the console to end up showing errors done on purpose.

### 6.3.0 (Jun 30, 2017)

Juneau 6.3.0 is a major update with significant new functionality for defining proxy interfaces against arbitrary 3rd-party REST interfaces.

##### org.apache.juneau

- New package: {@link org.apache.juneau.http}.
- Support for dynamic beans. See {@del @BeanProperty(name)}.
- New doc: 2.8 - Virtual Beans
- New doc: 2.13 - Comparison with Jackson
- All parsers now allow for numeric types with 'K'/'M'/'G' suffixes to represent kilobytes, megabytes, and gigabytes.

  // Example int i = JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse("123M"); // 123MB

- New/modified methods on {@del ConfigFile}:
  - {@del ConfigFile#put(String,String,String,boolean)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#put(String,String,Object,Serializer,boolean,boolean)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,Parser,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,Class)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,Parser,Class)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,String,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,String,Parser,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,String,Class)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObject(String,String,Parser,Class)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObjectWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObjectWithDefault(String,Parser,Object,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObjectWithDefault(String,Object,Class)}
  - {@del ConfigFile#getObjectWithDefault(String,Parser,Object,Class)}
- New ability to interact with config file sections with proxy interfaces with new method {@del ConfigFile#getSectionAsInterface(String,Class)}.
- {@del @BeanProperty} annotation can now be applied to getters and setters defined on interfaces.
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSession} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserSession} for retrieving context and runtime-override properties:
  - {@del Session#getProperty(String)}
  - {@del Session#getProperty(String,String)}
  - {@del Session#getProperty(Class,String)}
  - {@del Session#getProperty(Class,String,Object)}
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.PartSerializer} interface particularly tailored to HTTP headers, query parameters, form-data parameters, and path variables.
  Allows easy user-defined serialization of these objects.
  The interface can be used in the following locations:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#partSerializer(Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.Path#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.Query#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.QueryIfNE#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.FormData#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.FormDataIfNE#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.Header#serializer}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remoteable.HeaderIfNE#serializer}
- Across-the-board improvements to the URI-resolution support (i.e. how URIs get serialized).
  - New support for resolving URIs with the following newly-recognized protocols:
    - "context:/..." - Relative to context-root of the application.
    - "servlet:/..." - Relative to the servlet URI.
    - "request:/..." - Relative to the request URI.
    For example, currently we define HTML page links using variables and servlet-relative URIs...

    pages="{up:'$R{requestParentURI}', options:'?method=OPTIONS', upload:'upload'}"

    With these new protocols, we can define them like so:

    links="{top:'context:/', up:'request:/..' ,options:'servlet:/?method=OPTIONS', upload:'servlet:/upload'}"

    The old method of using variables and servlet-relative URIs will still be supported, but using these new protocols should (hopefully) be easier to understand.
    These protocols work on all serialized URL and URI objects, as well as classes and properties annotated with {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.URI @URI}.
  - New classes:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriContext}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriRelativity}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriResolution}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.UriResolver}
  - New configuration properties:
  - {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_uriContext}
  - {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_uriRelativity}
  - {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_uriResolution}
  - {@del SerializerContext#SERIALIZER_maxIndent}
- New annotation property: {@del @BeanProperty(value)}.
  The following two annotations are considered equivalent:

  @BeanProperty(name="foo") @BeanProperty("foo")

- Fixed a race condition in ClassMeta.
- URLENC_paramFormat has been moved to {@del UonSerializer#UON_paramFormat}, and the UON/URL-Encoding serializers will now always serialize all values as plain text.
  This means that arrays and maps are converted to simple comma-delimited lists.
- Listener APIs added to serializers and parsers:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder#listener(Class)}
  - {@del @RestResource(serializerListener)}
  - {@del RestConfig#serializerListener(Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserListener}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser.Builder#listener(Class)}
  - {@del @RestResource(parserListener)}
  - {@del RestConfig#parserListener(Class)}
  - {@del RestClient.Builder#listeners(Class,Class)}
  juneau-examples-core.import1.pngjuneau-examples-core.import1.png
- The {@del BEAN_debug} flag will now capture parser input and make it available through the {@del ParserSession#getInputAsString()} method so that it can be used in the listeners.
- Significant new functionality introduced to the HTML serializer.
  Lots of new options for customizing the HTML output.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#render() @Html(render)} annotation and {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlRender} class that allows you to customize the HTML output and CSS style on bean properties:
    Annotation can be applied to POJO classes and bean properties.
  - Several new properties for customizing parts of the HTML page:
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_title}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_description}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_branding}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_header}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_nav}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_aside}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_footer}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_noResultsMessage}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_cssUrl}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_css}
    - {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext#HTMLDOC_template}
  - New interface {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate} that allows full control over rendering of HTML produced by {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocSerializer}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NameProperty @NameProperty} and {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentProperty @ParentProperty} can now be applied to fields.
- New properties on {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext}:
  - {@del BEAN_includeProperties}
  - {@del BEAN_excludeProperties}
- New annotation property: {@del @BeanProperty(format)}.

##### org.apache.juneau.rest

- New {@del ResourceFinder} utility class. Allows you to search for resources up the parent hierarchy chain. Also allows you to search for localized resources.
- Eliminated the following properties from {@del HtmlDocSerializerContext}: HTMLDOC_title, HTMLDOC_description, HTMLDOC_description
  See below on changes to simplify HTML headers.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} implementations can now throw exceptions and will be converted to ""{exceptionMessage}" values.

##### org.apache.juneau.rest

- New 'light' stylesheet:
  Compared with previous 'devops':
  For those nolstalgic for old times, there's also 'original':
- Simplified the stylesheets and HTML code.
  For example, the nav links are now an ordered list of elements which makes rendering as as side-bar (for example) easier to do in CSS.
- Modifications to the following @HtmlDoc annotations:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#navlinks() navlinks()} - Now an array of strings instead of a JSON object. Simplified syntax.
    For example:

    // Old syntax htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( links="{" + "up:'request:/..'," + "options:'servlet:/?method=OPTIONS'," + "contentTypes:'$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}'," + "styles:'$W{StyleMenuItem}'," + "source:'$C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/PetStoreResource.java'" + "}" ) // New syntax htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( navlinks={ "up: request:/..", "options: servlet:/?method=OPTIONS", "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}", "$W{StyleMenuItem}", "source: $C{Source/gitHub}/org/apache/juneau/examples/rest/PetStoreResource.java" } )

    Previous syntax will still work, but you're encouraged to use the simplified syntax.
  - Several annotations are now arrays of strings instead of simple strings. Values are simply concatenated with newlines which makes multi-line values cleaner.
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#header() header()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#nav() nav()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#aside() aside()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#footer() footer()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#script() script()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#style() style()}
    Additionally, the "INHERIT" string literal can be used to combine the value with the value defined on the servlet or parent class. Links can also be inserted at specific index positions.
- Improvements made to the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget} API.
  - You can now add arbitrary CSS and Javascript along with your widgets through new methods:
    - {@del Widget#getHtml(RestRequest)}
    - {@del Widget#getScript(RestRequest)}
    - {@del Widget#getStyle(RestRequest)}
  - Declaration of widgets moved to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#widgets() @HtmlDoc(widgets)} instead of separately on {@del @RestResource} and @RestMethod annotations.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget#getName()} now defaults to the simple class name.
    So now you can just refer to the class name: "$W{ContentTypeMenuItem}".
  - Renamed widgets:
    - PoweredByApacheWidget -> PoweredByApache
    - PoweredByJuneauWidget -> PoweredByJuneau
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget} can be used as a starting point for creatint pull-down menu items.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ContentTypeMenuItem} widget that provides a pull-down menu with hyperlinks for all supported languages for that page:
  - Improved {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.QueryMenuItem} widget that provides a pull-down menu of a search/view/order-by/page form:
    Fields are now pre-filled with current query parameters.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.ThemeMenuItem} widget that provides a pull-down menu with hyperlinks to show the content in the default stylesheets:
- New/modified annotations on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc @HtmlDoc}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#style() style()} - Renamed from css().
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#stylesheet() stylesheet()} - Renamed from cssUrl().
    Can now be a comma-delimited list of URLs.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#script() script()} - Add arbitrary Javascript to page header.
- Bug fix with {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#nowrap() @HtmlDoc(nowrap)} so that the setting only applies to the data contents, not the whole page.
- Two convenience methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}:
  - {@del RestRequest#attr(String,Object)}
  - {@del RestRequest#prop(String,Object)}
- Annotations added:
  - {@del @RestResource(siteName)}
  - {@del @RestResource(flags)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#flags() @RestMethod(flags)}
- Eliminated the {@del @RestResource(stylesheet)} annotation. It's no longer needed now that you can easily specify styles via @Htmldoc.
- Eliminated the following annotations since they are now redundant with {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#header() @HtmlDoc(header)}:
  - title()
  - description()
  - branding()
  Instead, the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} class defines the following default header that can be easily overridden:

  htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( header={ "<h1>$R{resourceTitle}</h1>", "<h2>$R{methodSummary,resourceDescription}</h2>", "<a href='http://juneau.apache.org'><img src='$U{servlet:/htdocs/juneau.png}' style='position:absolute;top:5;right:5;background-color:transparent;height:30px'/></a>" } )

  Note that the subtitle first tries using the method summary and then the servlet description.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.vars.FileVar $F} variable resolver for resolving the contents of files in the classpath.
  The DockerRegistryResource examples shows how it can be used to pull in a localized file from the classpath to populate the aside section of a page.

  htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( // Pull in aside contents from file. aside="$F{resources/DockerRegistryResourceAside.html}" )

- New {@del ReaderResource#toCommentStrippedString()} method.
- The bpIncludes() and bpExcludes() annotations on @RestMethod has been replaced with the following:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#bpi() bpi()} - Now an array of simplified values instead of LAX JSON.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#bpx() bpx()} - Now an array of simplified values instead of LAX JSON.
- Two new variables added to $R variable: "$R{servletClass}", "$R{servletClassSimple}"

##### org.apache.juneau.rest.examples

- Added CONTENT-TYPE and STYLES menu items to most pages.
- Added improved QUERY menu item to PetStore page.

##### juneau-marshall

- Improvements to swap support.
  - New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap @Swap} annotation.
    Replaces the @Pojo and {@del @BeanProperty(swap)} annotations.
  - Support for per-media-type swaps.
    Programmatic example:

    @Swap(MyJsonOnlySwap.class) public class MyPojo {} public class MyJsonOnlySwap extends PojoSwap<MyPojo,String> { public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/json"); } public String swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo o) throws Exception { return "It's JSON!"; }

    Annotated example:

    @Swap(impl=ToStringSwap.class, mediaTypes="*/json") public class MyBean { ... } public class ToStringSwap extends PojoSwap<Object,String> { public String swap(BeanSession session, Object o) throws Exception { return o.toString(); } }

  - Support for templated swaps which provide additional context information for a swap.
    The following is an example of a templated swap class used to serialize POJOs to HTML using FreeMarker:

    // Our abstracted templated swap class. public abstract class FreeMarkerSwap extends PojoSwap<Object,Reader> { public MediaType[] forMediaTypes() { return MediaType.forStrings("*/html"); } public Reader swap(BeanSession session, Object o, String template) throws Exception { return getFreeMarkerReader(template, o); // Some method that creates raw HTML. } }

    @Swap(impl=FreeMarkerSwap.class, template="MyPojo.div.ftl") public class MyPojo {}

  - New {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swaps @Swaps} annotation for defining multiple swaps against the same POJO when they're differentiated by media types:

    @Swaps( { @Swap(MyJsonSwap.class), @Swap(MyXmlSwap.class), @Swap(MyOtherSwap.class) } ) public class MyPojo {}

- New {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.Surrogate} interface for identifying surrogate classes.
- Serializers can now serialize to {@link java.util.StringBuilder StringBuilders}.
- Serializers now serialize the contents of {@link java.io.Reader Readers} and {@link java.io.InputStream InputStreams} directly to the output stream or writer.
  When used with conjunction with PojoSwaps, this can be used to provide customized output for specific content types.

  @Pojo(swap=MyBeanSwap.class) public class MyBean {...} public class MyBeanSwap extends PojoSwap<MyBean,Object> { public Object swap(BeanSession session, MyPojo o) throws Exception { MediaType mt = session.getMediaType(); if (mt.hasSubType("json")) return new StringReader("{foo:'bar'}"); // Custom JSON output return o; // Otherwise treat as normal bean } } // Produces "{foo:'bar'}" String json = SimpleJsonSerializer.DEFAULT .toString(new MyBean());

  This feature helps with the implementation of language-agnostic template support such as for using FreeMaker to serialize POJOs to HTML.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSession} and {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserSession} objects are now reusable if used within the same thread.

  // Old way (still works) JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(writer1, pojo1); JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.serialize(writer2, pojo2); // Same, but using a session object SerializerSession session = JsonSerializer.DEFAULT.createSession(); try { session.serialize(writer1, pojo1); session.serialize(writer2, pojo2); } finally { session.close(); }

  This is mostly an internal change and doesn't affect the existing APIs.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap#swap(BeanSession,Object)} and {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap#unswap(BeanSession,Object,ClassMeta)} can now throw arbitrary exceptions instead of having to wrap them in SerializeException/ParseException.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.CalendarUtils} class that encapsulates serialization/parsing logic from {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.CalendarSwap} and {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.DateSwap}.
- New annotation {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#anchorText}.
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#get(int,Class) get(int,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#get(int,Type,Type...) get(int,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#getMap(int,Class,Class) getMap(int,Class,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#getList(int,Class) getList(int,Class)}
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#get(String,Type,Type...) get(String,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object) getWithDefault(String,Object)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object,Class) getWithDefault(String,Object,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...) getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getSwapped(String,PojoSwap) getSwapped(String,PojoSwap)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getAt(String,Class) getAt(String,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getAt(String,Type,Type...) getAt(String,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getMap(String,Class,Class,Map) getMap(String,Class,Class,Map)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#getList(String,Class,List) getList(String,Class,List)}
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest#get(String,Class) get(String,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest#get(String,Type,Type...) get(String,Type,Type...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object) getWithDefault(String,Object)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object,Class) getWithDefault(String,Object,Class)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoRest#getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...) getWithDefault(String,Object,Type,Type...)}
- Fixed bug where {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession#getMediaType()} wasn't returning a value.
- Eliminated the @Consumes and @Produces annotations.
  The supported media types are now passed in through the constructors.
  This was changed to eliminate a performance issue where a field could not be set as final because the call to getClass() to retrieve the annotation value could not be called before calling the super() method.
- New class: {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.PojoMerge}
- New doc: 2.6.2 - @Pojo annotation
- New doc: 2.6.5 - Serializing Readers and InputStreams

##### juneau-dto

- {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.html5.HtmlElementMixed#children(Object...)} can now take in collections of objects.
- The DTO beans can now be serialized to strings of their typical language by calling the toString() method.
  For example, Swagger.toString() produces JSON and the HTML5 Form.toString() produces HTML.

##### juneau-rest-server

- Revamped and simplified servlet and REST-call lifecycle handling through new {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestHook @RestHook} annotation.
  - The {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet#init(ServletConfig)} method is now final and can no longer be extended.
    Instead, use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#INIT} or {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#POST_INIT} for initialization.
  - The following methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet} have been removed:
    - init(RestConfig) - Use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#INIT} instead.
    - onSuccess(RestRequest, RestResponse, long) - Use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#END_CALL} instead.
    - onPreCall(RestRequest) - Use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#PRE_CALL} instead.
    - onPostCall(RestRequest, RestResponse) - Use {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HookEvent#POST_CALL} instead.
- Simplified {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget}.
  Exposes an abstract method {@del getContent(RestRequest)} that can return raw HTML via readers or char-sequences, or any other object (such as HTML5 beans) that will get converted to HTML using {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer#DEFAULT}.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResourceResolver} instances are now inherited from parent resources to child resources unless explicitly overridden at the child level.
  It's also been changed to an interface.
- New annotations on {@del @RestResource}:
  - {@del resourceResolver()}
    Allows you to specify a resource resolver on the servlet context to make it easier to work with dependency injection frameworks.
  - {@del contextPath()} -
    Allows you to override the context path value inherited from the servlet container.
  - {@del allowHeaderParams()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_allowHeaderParams setting.
  - {@del allowMethodParam()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_allowMethodParam setting.
  - {@del allowBodyParam()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_allowBodyParam setting.
  - {@del renderResponseStackTraces()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_xxx setting.
  - {@del useStackTraceHashes()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_useStackTraceHashes setting.
  - {@del defaultCharset()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_defaultCharset setting.
  - {@del paramFormat()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_paramFormat setting.
- New annotations on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#defaultCharset() defaultCharset()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_defaultCharset setting.
  - {@del RestMethod#paramFormat()} -
    Replaces the RestContext.REST_paramFormat setting.
- The following implementation classes can now be defined as non-static inner classes of servlets/resources:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestConverter}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestGuard}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.ResponseHandler}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResourceResolver}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestLogger}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlDocTemplate}
- New tooltip template: {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Tooltip}
- New dark theme:
- Stylesheet selection now stored in HTTP session when passed in via ?stylesheet query parameter.
- New doc: Lifecycle Hooks
- Eliminated the RestServletJenaDefault class to remove the Jena dependency class on the juneau-rest-server artifact.
  It's simple enough to simply extend BasicRestServlet and add the RDF serializers and parsers.

##### juneau-microservice

- The microservice has been significantly modified to be configured via a jetty.xml file for maximum flexibility instead of the hodge-podge of support in the config file.
  Top-level servlets should now be defined in the provided jetty.xml file.
- New methods on {@del RestMicroservice}:
  - {@del addServlet(Servlet,String)}
  - {@del addServletAttribute(String,Object)}
  - {@del getServer()}
  - {@del getInstance()}
  - {@del getPort()}
  - {@del getContextPath()}
  - {@del getProtocol()}
  - {@del getHostName()}
- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice}:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getInstance() getInstance()}
- New class {@del JettyLogger} for directing Jetty logging to the java.util.logging framework.
- New class {@del DebugResource} for viewing and generating Jetty thread dumps through REST calls.

##### org.apache.juneau.rest.examples

- New example of adding a menu-item widget to the Pet Store resource (including tooltips):

### 7.0.0 (Oct 25, 2017)

This release ups the Java prerequisite to Java 7.

##### juneau-marshall

- New class {@del org.apache.juneau.http.HttpMethodName} with valid static string HTTP method names.

##### juneau-dto

- Class org.apache.juneau.dto.Link renamed to {@link org.apache.juneau.dto.LinkString}. Helps avoid confusion since there are other Link classes in the library.

##### juneau-rest-server

- Annotation @HtmlDoc(links) renamed to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#navlinks() navlinks}.
- New annotation {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#head() @HtmlDoc(head)}.
  Allows you to specify arbitrary HTML content in the <head> section of the page.
- Removed annotation @HtmlDoc(favIcon).
  This was a discouraged way of defining fav-icons anyway, and with the addition of @HtmlDoc(head), you can define them using:

  head={ "<link rel='icon' href='$U{servlet:/htdocs/juneau.png}'/>" }

- Removed several of the HTMLDOC-related methods from the RestResponse/RestConfig/RestContext classes and moved it into the new {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.HtmlDocBuilder} class.

### 7.0.1 (Dec 24, 2017)

This release is a minor update. It includes the following prereq updates:

- Apache HttpClient: 4.5.3 to 4.5.4
- Eclipse Jetty: 9.4.6.v20170531 to 9.4.8.v20171121

##### juneau-marshall

- New static create() methods for builders on serializers and parsers.
  This simplifies the syntax of creation of serializers and parsers by scratch.

  // Old way JsonSerializer s1 = new JsonSerializer.Builder().ws().build(); // New way JsonSerializer s2 = JsonSerializer.create().ws().build();

  The same static create methods have also been added to the following classes:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerGroup#create()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.parser.ParserGroup#create()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.encoders.EncoderGroup#create()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#create()}
  - {@del ConfigFile#create()}
- The order of the parameters in {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSession#serialize(Object,Object)} has been change to match {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer#serialize(Object,Object)}.
- Fixed some bugs in the XML parser related to whitespace and comments.

##### juneau-svl

- New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var} class to restrict when nested and embedded variables are resolved.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowNested()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.svl.Var#allowRecurse()}

##### juneau-rest-server

- New {@del @RestResource(maxInput)} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#maxInput() @RestMethod(maxInput)} for alleviating potential DoS attacks.

##### juneau-microservice-server

- New pluggable console commands.
  When you start up the microservice, you'll now see the following:

  Running class 'RestMicroservice' using config file 'examples.cfg'. Server started on port 10000 List of available commands: exit -- Shut down service restart -- Restarts service help -- Commands help echo -- Echo command > help help NAME help -- Commands help SYNOPSIS help [command] DESCRIPTION When called without arguments, prints the descriptions of all available commands. Can also be called with one or more arguments to get detailed information on a command. EXAMPLES List all commands: > help List help on the help command: > help help >

  Commands are pluggable and extensible through the config file.

  #======================================================================================================================= # Console settings #======================================================================================================================= [Console] enabled = true # List of available console commands. # These are classes that implements ConsoleCommand that allow you to submit commands to the microservice via # the console. # When listed here, the implementations must provide a no-arg constructor. # They can also be provided dynamically by overriding the Microservice.createConsoleCommands() method. commands = org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ExitCommand, org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.RestartCommand, org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.HelpCommand

  - New classes:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ConsoleCommand}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.ExitCommand}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.RestartCommand}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.console.HelpCommand}
  - New methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#startConsole() startConsole()}
    - {@del createConsoleCommands()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getConsoleReader() getConsoleReader()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice#getConsoleWriter() getConsoleWriter()}
- Console input reader and output writer can now be overridden.
- Console strings are now internationalized.

### 7.1.0 (Mar 08, 2018)

Version 7.1.0 is a major update with major implementation refactoring across all aspects of the product.

##### juneau-marshall

- Significant improvements made to the internals of the Serializer and Parser classes.
  - Caching improvements on serializers and parsers have reduced execution time of the core JUnits by approximately 1/3.
    The 17000+ JUnit tests now execute in less than 10 seconds and have a cache-reuse hit rate of 98% (164104 serializers/parsers/bean-contexts retrieved, but only 1801 created from scratch).
  - All the various separate Context classes (e.g. JsonSerializerContext) have been folded into their respective serializer or parser classes (e.g. JsonSerializer).
    Additionally, these classes are their own bean contexts.
    For example, the class hierarchy of JsonSerializer is now:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.Context}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializer}
            - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer}
    All Context objects are thread-safe and read-only.
  - Session objects also now have a consistent class hierarchy.
    For example, the class hierarchy of JsonSerializerSession is now:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.Session}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanSession}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.SerializerSession}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.WriterSerializerSession}
            - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializerSession}
    Session objects are transient objects that live for the duration of a single parse.
  - Builder objects also now have a consistent class hierarchy.
    For example, the class hierarchy of JsonSerializer.Builder is now:
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.Context.Builder}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
        - {@link org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer.Builder}
          - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.JsonSerializer.Builder}
    Builder objects are used for building up and creating Context objects.
  - The {@link org.apache.juneau.PropertyStore} class has been completely rewritten. It is now a read-only configuration store build using the {@link org.apache.juneau.PropertyStoreBuilder} class.
    The previous PropertyStore class was overly-complicated with many read/write locks to ensure thread-safety.
    The new design shifts to a builder-based model with read-only PropertyStore objects that can be used as hash keys.
- Improvements to the HTTP-Part APIs.
  The existing PartSerializer/PartParser classes have been replaced with the following all located in the new org.apache.juneau.httppart package:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartType}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSerializer}
      - {@del UonPartSerializer}
      - {@del SimpleUonPartSerializer}
      - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.SimplePartSerializer}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartParser}
      - {@del UonPartParser}
      - {@del SimplePartParser}
  Code for marshalling of parts have been removed from the URL-Encoding serializers and parsers.

- Swagger UI.
- New HTTP-Part annotations that are applicable to both the servlet and client APIs.
- Serverless servlet and client unit testing.
- Simplified UI customization.
- Marshalls that combines serializers and parsers into a single API.

##### juneau-marshall

- The REST client @Remoteable annotations and REST server @RemoteMethod annotations which used to be in separate packages in the client and server projects have been combined into a single set of annotations in the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation} package.
  This fixes a long-standing problem where it was easy to mix up using client-side annotations in server-side code, and vis-versa.
  Additionally, much work has been done on these annotations to add support for Swagger-style validations and documentation.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Body}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.HasFormData}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.HasQuery}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request}
  These are used with new Swagger schema/documentation annotations to produce schema-based serialization/parsing/validation and auto-generated Swagger documentation:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Contact}
  - {@del ExternalDocs}
  - {@del Items}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.License}
  - {@del Schema}
  - {@del SubItems}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Tag}
  Additionally, the @Remoteable annotation has been split into the following two annotations:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.remote.RemoteInterface} - Used for remote proxy interfaces served up through {@del RemoteInterfaceServlet} or REST "PROXY" methods.
    Defaults to "POST" with method signatures as paths.
  - {@del RemoteResource} - Used for 3rd-party REST interfaces.
    Defaults to "GET" with standardized naming conventions for paths.
- Support for multi-valued parameters as maps or beans on server-side annotations (it was previously supported on client-side): @Query("*"), @FormData("*"), @Header("*"), @Path("*")
- Support for server-side use of @Request annotation on @RestMethod annotations and new {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getRequest(RequestBeanMeta)} method.
- Fixed bug where @Bean(typeName) was not being detected on non-bean POJO classes.
- Fixed bug where HTML-Schema was not being rendered correctly.
- Support for POJO examples:
  - {@del BeanContext#BEAN_examples}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Example}
- Fixed bug where parsers could report the wrong line number when an error occurred.
- A runtime exception is now thrown if you define a {@del @BeanProperty(name)} but forget to add it to your @Bean(properties) annotation.
- @Html(asXml) and @Html(asPlainText) replaced with {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#format() @Html(format)}.
- HTML serializer will now serializers beans and maps as HTML even when those objects are embedded within an object with @Html(format=XML).
  The previous behavior was to serialize it as XML.
- New settings for binary-based serializers and parsers:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.OutputStreamSerializer#OSSERIALIZER_binaryFormat}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.parser.InputStreamParser#ISPARSER_binaryFormat}
- Added support for auto-detection of fluent-style setters:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_fluentSetters}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#fluentSetters()}
- The SERIALIZER_abridged setting has been replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer#SERIALIZER_addRootType SERIALIZER_addRootType}
- The SERIALIZER_addBeanTypeProperties setting has been replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer#SERIALIZER_addBeanTypes SERIALIZER_addBeanTypes} and is disabled by default.
- Parse exception messages are now clearer and include code snippets of where a parse exception occurred:

  org.apache.juneau.parser.ParseException: Expected '[' at beginning of JSON array. At line 80, column 20. While parsing into: currentClass: List<String> currentProperty: required: java.util.List, field=[null], getter=[public java.util.List org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SchemaInfo.getRequired()], setter=[public org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SchemaInfo org.apache.juneau.dto.swagger.SchemaInfo.setRequired(java.util.Collection)] ---start-- 0075: "name": "body", 0076: "description": "Pet object that needs to be added to the store", 0077: "required": true, 0078: "schema": { 0079: "required": true, 0080: } 0081: } 0082: ], 0083: "responses": { 0084: "405": { 0085: "description": "Invalid input" ---end---

- New property {@del org.apache.juneau.parser.Parser#PARSER_debugOutputLines} for controlling how many input lines are added to the exception message above.
- New property {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_useEnumNames} for controlling whether enums are serialized using their name or the toString() method.
- New property {@del BeanContext#BEAN_examples} for defining examples of POJOs.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Example @Example} annotation for defining examples of POJOs.
  Used heavily in JSON-Schema support.
- If a bean has both a getX() and isX() method, the getX() method takes precedence.
  The previous behavior was arbitrary.
- Significant improvements to JSON-Schema serialization support.
  - New {@del @JsonSchema} annotation.
- Fixed NullPointerException when serializing beans with a dyna-property (i.e. @Bean("*")) which returns a null value.
- New option for dyna-property (i.e. @Bean("*")) using a method that returns a collection of extra keys.
  See new options #4 on {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanProperty#name()}
- New formats for the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#format() @Html(format)} annotation:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlFormat#HTML_CDC} - Format collections as comma-delimited lists.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlFormat#HTML_SDC} - Format collections as space-delimited lists.
- Serializers now allow for q-values on the media types they handle.
  For example, the accept media type on JsonSerializer.Simple is "application/json+simple,application/json;q=0.9".
  This means the serializer CAN handle requests for "application/json" if no other serializers provide a better match.
- New methods for creating unmodifiable {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap ObjectMaps} and {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList ObjectLists}.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#isUnmodifiable() isUnmodifable()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#unmodifiable() unmodifiable()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#modifiable() modifiable()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#isUnmodifiable() isUnmodifable()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#unmodifiable() unmodifiable()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#modifiable() modifiable()}
- The JsonSerializer.Simple class has been moved into the top-level {@link org.apache.juneau.json.SimpleJsonSerializer} class.
- RDF serializer subclasses have been moved into top-level classes:
  - RdfSerializer.Xml -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlSerializer}
  - RdfSerializer.XmlAbbrev -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlAbbrevSerializer}
  - RdfSerializer.N3 -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.N3Serializer}
  - RdfSerializer.NTriple -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.NTripleSerializer}
  - RdfSerializer.Turtle -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleSerializer}
  - RdfParser.Xml -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.RdfXmlParser}
  - RdfParser.N3 -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.N3Parser}
  - RdfParser.NTriple -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.NTripleParser}
  - RdfParser.Turtle -> {@link org.apache.juneau.jena.TurtleParser}
- New API for pairing serializers and parsers for simplified syntax:

  ##### Examples:

  // Using instance. Json json = new Json(); MyPojo myPojo = json.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = json.write(myPojo);

  // Using DEFAULT instance. MyPojo myPojo = Json.DEFAULT.read(string, MyPojo.class); String string = Json.DEFAULT.write(myPojo);

- The RemoteableServlet class has been moved and renamed to {@del RemoteInterfaceServlet}.
- {@del RemoteInterfaceServlet} now provides a form page for invoking remote interface methods in a browser.
- Newlines were being stripped from @HtmlDoc(script) when serialized which could cause script lines to become commented out.

- The {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#nav() @HtmlDoc(nav)} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.HtmlDoc#navlinks() @HtmlDoc(navlinks)} can now both be used on the same annotation.
  The contents of nav() are free-form HTML that gets rendered immediately after the navigation links.
- The following new parameter types can be used on REST methods:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.ReaderParser} - The reader parser matching the request content type.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.parser.InputStreamParser} - The input stream parser matching the request content type.
- The $F variable can now be used as a initialization time variable.
  For example, the AtomFeedResource example pulls a bean example from a file on the classpath:

  @RestResource( path="/atom", title="Sample ATOM feed resource", properties={ @Property(name=BEAN_examples, value="{'org.apache.juneau.dto.atom.Feed': $F{AtomFeedResource_example.json}}") }, ... )

  It should be noted that you cannot use the $F variable to retrieve localized versions of files (since you're not within the scope of a client request.
- The {@del RestResource#nowrap()} annotation has been changed to a string with a default value of "true".
  Having it as a string allows us to differentiate between a set and unset value so that it can be overridden in subclasses.
- The {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path#name()} annotation parameter is now required.
- New class for mock unit testing of REST resources:
  - {@del MockRest}
- @RestMethod(inherit) annotation has been removed and replaced with the following classes:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.Inherit}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.None}
  These can be used in the following locations:
  - {@del RestResource#serializers()}
  - {@del RestResource#parsers()}
  - {@del RestResource#beanFilters()}
  - {@del RestResource#pojoSwaps()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#serializers()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#parsers()}
  - {@del RestMethod#beanFilters()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#pojoSwaps()}
  One advantage is that you now have control over the precedence of serializers and parsers by where you insert the Inherit class.
- RequestPathMatch class has been renamed to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RequestPath}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Request @Request} objects can now be used as parameters in @RestMethod methods.
  Includes new methods on {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getRequest(Class) getRequest(Class)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getRequest(RequestBeanMeta) getRequest(RequestBeanMeta)}
- New methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget} to allow population of menu item content using Javascript and Ajax calls:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.MenuItemWidget}
    - {@del getBeforeShowScript(RestRequest)}
    - {@del getAfterShowScript(RestRequest)}
- New methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget} to allow retrieving classpath resources with embedded SVL variables:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.widget.Widget}
    - {@del loadHtmlWithVars(RestRequest,String)}
    - {@del loadScriptWithVars(RestRequest,String)}
    - {@del loadStyleWithVars(RestRequest,String)}
- New/updated documentation:
  juneau-rest-server.UnitTesting
- The behavior of the default values for {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#name()} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#path()} have changed.
  If not specified, the values are inferred from the Java method name.
  See Also: {@del RestMethod}
- RedirectToServletRoot class has been renamed to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.helper.SeeOtherRoot}.
- New REST context settings:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_uriAuthority REST_uriAuthority}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_uriContext REST_uriContext}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_uriRelativity REST_uriRelativity}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_uriResolution REST_uriResolution}
- New convenience annotations for specifying default Accept and Content-Type headers:
  - {@del RestResource}
    - {@del defaultAccept}
    - {@del defaultContentType}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#defaultAccept defaultAccept}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#defaultContentType defaultContentType}

##### juneau-rest-client

    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#secureRandom(SecureRandom)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#httpClientConnectionManager(HttpClientConnectionManager)}
- Clients no longer have JSON defined as the default serializer and parser.
  Instead, the clients can now be used with no serializer/parser if you're working with InputStreams/Readers or POJOs that can be converted to Strings and converted from Strings/InputStreams/Readers.
- Methods added to client builder to make it easy to define the transport language:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#json() json()}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder#xml() xml()}

    - {@del RestClient#getRemoteInterface(Class)}
    - {@del RestClient#getRemoteInterface(Class,Object)}
    - {@del RestClient#getRemoteInterface(Class,Object,Serializer,Parser)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemoteResource(Class)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemoteResource(Class,Object)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#getRemoteResource(Class,Object,Serializer,Parser)}

##### juneau-rest-microservice

- The look-and-feel of an application is now controlled through the external configuration file and access to CSS stylesheets in the working directory in a new folder called files:
  The default configuration is this:

  #======================================================================================================================= # REST settings #======================================================================================================================= [REST] staticFiles = htdocs:files/htdocs # Stylesheet to use for HTML views. theme = servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css headerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/juneau.png headerLink = http://juneau.apache.org footerIcon = servlet:/htdocs/images/asf.png footerLink = http://www.apache.org icon = $C{REST/headerIcon} header = <a href='$U{$C{REST/headerLink}}'><img src='$U{$C{REST/headerIcon}}' style='position:absolute;top:5;right:5;background-color:transparent;height:30px'/></a> footer = <a href='$U{$C{REST/footerLink}}'><img style='float:right;padding-right:20px;height:32px' src='$U{$C{REST/footerIcon}}'>

  Note that static files can now be served up from the files directory in the working directory, and you have access to modify the CSS theme files.
  The SwaggerUI.css file controls the look-and-feel of the Swagger UI, so you can make modification there as well.
  The BasicRestConfig interface (which defines the default settings for the BasicRestServlet class) now looks like this...

  @RestResource( ... htmldoc=@HtmlDoc( header={ "<h1>$R{resourceTitle}</h1>", "<h2>$R{methodSummary,resourceDescription}</h2>", "$C{REST/header}" }, navlinks={ "up: request:/.." }, stylesheet="$C{REST/theme,servlet:/htdocs/themes/devops.css}", head={ "<link rel='icon' href='$U{$C{REST/icon}}'/>" }, footer="$C{REST/footer}" ), // These are static files that are served up by the servlet under the specified sub-paths. // For example, "/servletPath/htdocs/javadoc.css" resolves to the file "[servlet-package]/htdocs/javadoc.css" staticFiles={"$C{REST/staticFiles}"} ) public interface BasicRestConfig {}

  The PoweredByApache widget which used to serve as a page footer has been eliminated.
  If you're testing out changes in the theme stylesheets, you may want to set the following system property that prevents caching of those files so that you don't need to restart the microservice each time a change is made:

  #======================================================================================================================= # System properties #======================================================================================================================= [SystemProperties] # Disable classpath resource caching. # Useful if you're attached using a debugger and you're modifying classpath resources while running. RestContext.useClasspathResourceCaching.b = false

- Upgraded to Jetty 9.4.12.

### 7.2.1 (Oct 23, 2018)

This release contains mostly bug fixes. Code changes have been made to preserve binary backwards compatibility with 7.1.0.

##### juneau-marshall

- The {@del @JsonSchema} annotation has been merged with the {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.Schema @Schema} annotation.
- Annotations typically used on bean properties (getters/setters/public fields) can now be used on private fields. This is inline with behavior on JPA-annotated beans. These include: @Swap, @Html, @Xml, @BeanProperty.

##### juneau-rest-server

- Method-level annotations (e.g. @RestMethod) and parameter-level annotations (e.g. @Query) are now inheritable from parent classes and interfaces.
  This allows you to define {@del RestcDualPurposeInterfaces}.
- The ReaderResource and StreamResource classes have been moved to the org.apache.juneau.http package in juneau-marshall. This allows them to be used as return types in remote REST interfaces.
  A new {@del ResolvingReaderResource} class has been added that includes the variable-resolving support since this relies on the juneau-svl package.
- The RemoteInterfaceServlet class has been renamed to {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.remote.RrpcServlet}.
- @RestMethod(name="PROXY") has been changed to @RestMethod(name="RRPC").

##### juneau-rest-client

  This fixes an issue where instances of {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet} are registered as top-level servlets even though you don't want them to be.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest} - Non-servlet equivalent to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServlet}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestGroup} - Non-servlet equivalent to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServletGroup}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestJena} - Non-servlet equivalent to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServletJena}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestJenaGroup} - Non-servlet equivalent to {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestServletJenaGroup}
- HTML widgets now have access to the RestResponse object if they need access to the output bean.
- New annotations for simplified role-based guards on classes and methods:
  - {@del RestResource}
    - {@del roleGuard()}
    - {@del rolesDeclared()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#roleGuard roleGuard()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#rolesDeclared rolesDeclared()}
- New annotations for fine-tuned handling of http-methods/http-headers as query parameters and others:
  - {@del RestResource}
    - {@del allowedHeaderParams()}
    - {@del allowedMethodHeaders()}
    - {@del allowedMethodParams()}
- The {@del @RestResource(path)} annotation can now use variables:

  @RestResource( path="/myResource/{foo}/{bar}" ) public class MyResource extends BasicRestServlet {...}

- New methods:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestRequest#getCharset() getCharset()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse}
    - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#getCharset() getCharset()}
- New interface method for catching arbitrary thrown objects and converting them to other throwables.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler#convertThrowable(Throwable) convertThrowable(Throwable)}
  - {@del BasicRestCallHandler}
    - {@del convertThrowable(Throwable)}
- Support for fine-tuned logging of HTTP requests and responses.

  @RestResource( debug="per-request", logging=@Logging( level="info", rules={ @LoggingRule(codes"400-499", level="warning", req="short", res="short") @LoggingRule(codes"500-", level="severe", req="long", res="long") } ) ) public class MyRest { @RestMethod( method="POST", path="foo" logging=@Logging( level="info", rules={ @LoggingRule(exceptions"NotFound*", level="info") @LoggingRule(codes"200", disabled="true") } ) ) public String myMethod() throws Exception {...}

  See {@del RestLoggingAndDebugging} for details.
- Fixed a bug where the HTTP response was returning 405 (method not found) but should really be 404 (not found) when no path patterns match on any of the Java methods.

##### juneau-rest-client

- PATCH support added.

### 8.1.1 (Sept 20, 2019)

Juneau 8.1.1 is a minor release but introduces some new features/modifications.

##### juneau-marshall

- Support for serializing/parsing {@link java.util.Optional} objects and bean properties.
- Fixed a bug in the parsers where the generic subtype of a complex bean property type involving both collections and arrays was not being found. (e.g. List<Long>[])
- New packages of HTTP response/exceptions beans from juneau-rest-server bundle and REST proxy annotations from juneau-rest-client so that they can be used when building REST proxy interfaces while only pulling in the marshall bundle.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.http.exception}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote}
  These replace the org.apache.juneau.rest.response, org.apache.juneau.rest.exception, and org.apache.juneau.rest.client.remote packages.
- Defaulting SVL variables now won't ignore additional parameters.
  "$S{Foo,bar,baz}" used to default to "bar" but now will default to "bar,baz".
- Ranking support has been added to all @XConfig annotations. This allows you to override the normal precedence of application of config annotations on class and method hierarchies.

##### juneau-rest-server

- Support for {@link java.util.Optional} on method parameters annotated with {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header}, {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData}, {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query}, {@link org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path}.
- Fixed issue where {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#debug() RestMethod.debug()} annotation wasn't resulting in the HTTP request being logged.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestException} has been deprecated and replaced by {@del org.apache.juneau.http.exception.HttpException}.
- Resolved issue where parameterized types on @RestMethod-annotated method parameters of Spring beans. This is due to Spring relying on CGLIB for runtime-recompilation of beans that results in loss of parameterized-type information.
  In the following example, the beans parameter would resolve as an unparameterized List which would typically result in getting a List<ObjectMap> and subsequent ClassCastExceptions.

  @RestMethod public void doFoo(@Body List<MyBean> beans) {...}

  The fix involves resolving the original bean class for resolving parameterized type while leaving method invocation on the proxy method so as not to bypass Spring features.
- New methods on {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest} to provide feature-parity with {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#getContext() getContext()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#getRequest() getRequest()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#getResponse() getResponse()}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#log(String) log(String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#log(String,Throwable) log(String,Throwable)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#log(Level,String,Object[]) log(Level,String,Object[])}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#logObjects(Level,String,Object[])}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#log(Level,Throwable,String,Object[]) log(Level,Throwable,String,Object[])}
- The {@del @RestResource(staticFiles)} annotation now supports absolute path locations and multiple mappings:

  // Resolves static files in root package "htdocs" or working directory "htdocs", and then relative package "htdocs". @RestResource(staticFiles="htdocs:/htdocsfolder,htdocs:htdocs.package")

- Fixed a bug in {@del @RestResource(staticFiles)} where the order of lookup between parent and child resources was wrong.

##### juneau-rest-client

- Removed the dependency on the juneau-rest-server module. Allows the client API to be used without pulling in all the javax.servlet and server dependencies.

##### juneau-examples

- The PetStore application has been moved to a separate Git repository.
  - GitHub Repo
  - Documentation

### 8.1.2 (Dec 01, 2019)

Juneau 8.1.2 is a moderate release.

##### juneau-marshall

- Support for read-only and write-only properties.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#bpro()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#bpwo()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#ro()}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp#wo()}
  - {@del BEAN_bpro}
  - {@del BEAN_bpwo}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpro(Map)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpwo(Map)}
- New convenience methods:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap#parse(CharSequence)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList#parse(CharSequence)}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.CharMarshall} and {@link org.apache.juneau.marshall.StreamMarshall} now have public constructors.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp @Beanp} replaces {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanProperty @BeanProperty}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc @Beanc} replaces {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanConstructor @BeanConstructor}.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote @Remote} replaces {@del org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteResource @RemoteResource}.
- Shortened names for {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#dictionary @Bean(dictionary)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanDictionary(Class...)}.

##### juneau-rest-server

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest} replaces {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestResource @RestResource} with shorter syntax.
- New method {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResponse#setHeaderSafe(String,String)} to strip invalid characters from header values.
- Fixed issues related to invalid characters being set on HTTP header values.

##### juneau-rest-client

- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient} is now extendible. The constructor has been made public and simplified to: {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient#RestClient(RestClient.Builder)}.
- Duplicate methods between {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} and {@link org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder} have been made deprecated on the former. This eliminates the need to try to keep the two builder classes in sync.

### 8.1.3 (Jan 20, 2020)

Juneau 8.1.3 is a moderate release.

##### juneau-marshall

- Dynamically applied annotations: {@del DynamicallyAppliedAnnotations}
- Better representation of nulls for XML and HTML content properties.
  Old: "<myBean><null></myBean>"
  New: "<myBean nil='true'></myBean>"
- Configurable properties such as {@del org.apache.juneau.Context#CONTEXT_debug} can now be set globally by either system properties or environment variables.
  For CONTEXT_debug you can use either the system property "Context.debug" or environment variables "CONTEXT_DEBUG".
- Fixed an initialization time race condition that can cause initial parse errors when concurrently parsing into array types like so:

  JsonParser.DEFAULT.parse(input, MyBean[].class);

##### juneau-rest-server

- Fixed bug in {@del BasicRestCallHandler} where if you have the following REST methods...

  @RestMethod(name="GET", path="/foo") @RestMethod(name="*", path="/bar")

  ...and you tried to make a GET request to /bar, you'd erroneously get a 404 error instead of matching the 2nd method.
- Fixed an issue involving using Juneau REST with Spring Security. When Spring Security cannot authenticate a request, it sets the URL on the request to "/error" with a 401 status. When Juneau then processes this request, it cannot find that mapping and changes the status to 404 which messes with HTTP clients.
  Solution was to add a default no-op error method to the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestConfig} (and implementers):

  @RestMethod(name="*", path="/error") public void error() {}

- Fixed a bug where @RestResource(debug="true") wouldn't log requests if a @RestMethod-annotated method was not matched.
- Renamed the following annotations:
  - @Rest(attrs) --> {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#reqAttrs() @Rest(reqAttrs)}
  - @Rest(defaultRequestHeaders) --> {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#reqHeaders() @Rest(reqHeaders)}
  - @Rest(defaultResponseHeaders) --> {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#resHeaders() @Rest(resHeaders)}
  - @RestMethod(attrs) --> {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#reqAttrs() @RestMethod(reqAttrs)}
  - @RestMethod(defaultRequestHeaders) --> {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#reqHeaders() @RestMethod(reqHeaders)}
- New auto-generated REST method execution statistics: {@del RestExecutionStatistics}

##### juneau-rest-client

- Several convenience methods defined in {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.client.RestClient.Builder} that were deprecated in 8.1.2 have been undeprecated in this release due to user feedback.

##### juneau-doc

- New auto-generated glossary of all configurable properties: {@del GlossaryConfigurableProperties}

### 8.2.0 (TBD)

Juneau 8.2.0 is a major release. The most significant change is the addition of an entirely new {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.client2.RestClient} API build from scratch with near 100% unit test coverage. The new API is located in the org.apache.juneau.rest.client2 package and will replace the old API in 9.0.

##### juneau-marshall

- {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} and {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore @BeanIgnore} annotations can alternately occur in parent class hierarchy. The first one found dictates whether a class is ignored as a bean or not.
- Applying the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotation on a class will now force non-public classes to be interpreted as beans. For example, applying {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} to a private class will force it to be treated as a bean.
  Also, if a public bean constructor cannot be found, the default constructor will be used regardless of it's visibility if the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotation is on the class.
- The @Beanc annotation can now be recognized and used on non-public constructors.
- Annotations are now aggregated across the entire class hierarchy instead of simply being overridden.
  The following is an example.

  // Parent class with properties a,b,c @Bean(bpi="a,b,c") public class MyClass { public int a, b, c, d; } // New behavior: Child class with properties a,c because @Beans are aggregated. // Old behavior: Child class with properties a,c,d because @Bean is overridden. @Bean(bpx="b") public class MyClass { public int a, b, c, d; }

- Include/exclude/read-only/write-only properties defined on the bean context now override those defined on annotations of the class itself. For example, the following methods override the {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean @Bean} annotations on classes:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpi(Class,String) bpi(Class,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpi(String,String) bpi(String,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpx(Class,String) bpx(Class,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpx(String,String) bpx(String,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpro(Class,String) bpro(Class,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpro(String,String) bpro(String,String)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpwo(Class,String) bpwo(Class,String}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#bpwo(String,String) bpwo(String,String}
- Config annotations now override class-level annotations.
  For example, only the 'a' and 'b' properties get serialized on the bean below:

  // Parent class with properties a,b,c @Bean(bpi="a,b,c") public class MyClass { public int a, b, c, d; } @RestMethod @BeanConfig(beanApply={@Bean(on="MyClass",bpi="a,b")} public MyClass getMyClass() {...}

- The following concrete annotation implementation classes are now provided that can be used with the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#annotations(Annotation...)} method:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeancAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanc}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnoreAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanIgnore}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanpAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Beanp}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ExampleAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Example}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NamePropertyAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.NameProperty}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentPropertyAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.ParentProperty}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.SwapAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Swap}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.UriAnnotation} implements {@del org.apache.juneau.annotation.URI}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.csv.annotation.CsvAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.csv.annotation.Csv}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.jso.annotation.JsoAnnotation} implements {@del org.apache.juneau.jso.annotation.Jso}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.JsonAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.json.annotation.Json}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.SchemaAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.jsonschema.annotation.Schema}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.annotation.MsgPackAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.msgpack.annotation.MsgPack}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.annotation.OpenApiAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.oapi.annotation.OpenApi}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.annotation.PlainTextAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.plaintext.annotation.PlainText}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.soap.annotation.SoapXmlAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.soap.annotation.SoapXml}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.annotation.UonAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.uon.annotation.Uon}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncodingAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.urlencoding.annotation.UrlEncoding}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.XmlAnnotation} implements {@link org.apache.juneau.xml.annotation.Xml}
  Example:

  @Bean(bpi="street,city") // Will be overridden public class AddressBean {...} Bean ba = new BeanAnnotation("AddressBean").bpi("street,city,state"); WriterSerializer ws = JsonSerializer.create().annotations(ba).build(); String json = ws.toString(addressBean); // Will print street,city,state

- Bean maps now have the concept of "hidden" properties (properties that aren't serialized but otherwise accessible).
  For example, the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#link()} can now reference hidden properties:

  @Bean(bpi="a") // Will be overridden public class MyBean { @Html(link="servlet:/{b}") public String a; public String b; // Not serialized, but referenced in link on a. }

  The general rule for the {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanMap} class is that get(),put(), and containsKey() will work against hidden properties, but keySet() and entrySet() will skip them.
- Several bug fixes in the {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlSerializer} and {@link org.apache.juneau.html.HtmlParser} classes around the handling of collections and arrays of beans with @Bean(typeName) annotations.
- New swaps auto-added to all serializers/parsers:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.MatchResultSwap}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transforms.StackTraceElementSwap}
- {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.Html#noTableHeaders} now can be applied to collections of beans.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.html.annotation.HtmlDocConfig#asideFloat()} setting so that you can position the contents of the aside section on the page.
- Various minor fixes surrounding HTML serialization.
  - Collections of beans that were supposed to be serialized as tables were being serialized as lists.
  - Collections of beans with @Bean(bpi) were not being serialized in the correct column order.
- Fixed a bug where a copy constructor can erroneously be recognized as a builder constructor if the class also has a static create method. Net effect was that the copy constructor would needlessly be called during parsing.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.collections} package containing various convenience fluent-style collection classes:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.AList}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.ASet}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.ASortedSet}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.AMap}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.ASortedMap}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.OMap}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.OList}
- {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap} is being deprecated and replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.OMap}.
- {@del org.apache.juneau.ObjectList} is being deprecated and replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.collections.OList}.
- All classes in the {@link org.apache.juneau.http.response} and {@del org.apache.juneau.http.exception} now have header(String,Object) methods for adding response headers.

  // Method that performs a BASIC Auth handshake. @RestMethod public Ok checkBasicAuth(@Header("Authorization") String auth) throws Unauthorized { if (auth == null) throw new Unauthorized().header("WWW-Authenticate", "BASIC realm=\"foo\""); return Ok.OK; }

- New annotations for multi-part support:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Header#multi()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Query#multi()}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.FormData#multi()}
- {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext#BEANTRAVERSE_ignoreRecursions} setting no longer requires {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext#BEANTRAVERSE_detectRecursions} to be enabled.
- Fixed bug in JSON/UON/URL-Encoding serializers where indentation was not correct of first line when {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanTraverseContext#BEANTRAVERSE_initialDepth} used.
- Fixed bug in JSON/UON/URL-Encoding serializers where properties past the max depth were being serialized as null instead of being treated as null and not being serialized at all.
- Fixed bug in HTML serializer where tables of maps were not sorted if SERIALIZER_sortMaps was specified.
- SERIALIZER_trimNullProperties has been replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.serializer.Serializer#SERIALIZER_keepNullProperties SERIALIZER_keepNullProperties}.
- Improvements to OpenAPI serializer and parser:
  - Collection format can now be specified on OBJECTs to allow key/value pairs to be delimited with the same support as ARRAYs.
  - New {@del org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiCommon#OAPI_format OAPI_format} and {@del org.apache.juneau.oapi.OpenApiCommon#OAPI_collectionFormat OAPI_collectionFormat} properties.
- Convenience methods added to {@link org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema} and related classes to simplify schema definitions:

  import static org.apache.juneau.httppart.HttpPartSchema.*; // Old HttpPartSchema s = schema("object") .property("f01", schema("array").collectionFormat("pipes").items(schema("string"))) .property("f02", schema("array").collectionFormat("pipes").items(schema("string", "byte"))) .property("f03", schema("array").collectionFormat("pipes").items(schema("string", "date-time"))) .build(); // New HttpPartSchema s = tObject() .p("f01", tArray(tString())) .p("f02", tArray(tByte())) .p("f03", tArray(tDateTime())) .build();

- Fixes where the bean method/constructor visibility wasn't being used when finding swap methods and constructors.
- HTML-Schema support is being deprecated due to low-use and difficulty in maintaining. It will be removed in 9.0.
- JuneauLogger class is being deprecated. Improvements in logging in Java 8 make it obsolete.
- Bean filters can now be specified programmatically through a builder API.

  // Create a JSON serializer that only includes specified fields on a specific class. WriterSerializer s = JsonSerializer .create() .beanFilters(BeanFilter.create(MyBean.class).bpi("foo,bar,baz").build()) .build();

- BeanContext.REST_pojoSwaps replaced with {@del org.apache.juneau.BeanContext#BEAN_swaps} (and builder methods as well).
- New Bean Property Interceptor API for intercepting calls to bean getters/setters.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanInterceptor}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#interceptor Bean(interceptor)}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.BeanContext.Builder#beanInterceptor(Class,Class)}
- Fluent setters that follow the withX convention are now automatically detected by all parsers.

  // A bean with a fluent setter. public class MyBean { public MyBean withFoo(String foo) { this.foo = foo; return this; } }

  Note you could previously use the @BeanProperty annotation to identify these setters.

##### juneau-rest-server

- New {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_context REST_context}/{@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#context() @Rest(context)} setting to allow you to extend the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext} class.
- {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest}-annotated classes can now implement the following interfaces directly instead of having to define secondary classes and hook them up through annotations:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler} - Normally defined through {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#callHandler() @Rest.callHandler()}.
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider} - Normally defined through {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#infoProvider() @Rest.infoProvider()}.

  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#log(RestCallLoggerConfig,HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse) log(RestCallLoggerConfig,HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse)}
  The methods added for {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.ClasspathResourceFinder} are:

    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet#resolve(Object,Class,RestContext.Builder,Object...) resolve(Object,Class<T>,RestContext.Builder,Object...)}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#resolve(Object,Class,RestContext.Builder,Object...) resolve(Object,Class<T>,RestContext.Builder,Object...)}
- Added the following convenience hook methods on the {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest} classes:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet#onInit(RestContext.Builder) onInit(RestContext.Builder)}

    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet#onPostCall(RestRequest,RestResponse) onPostCall(RestRequest,RestResponse)}
    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestServlet#onEndCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse) onEndCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse)}

    - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRest#onEndCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse) onEndCall(HttpServletRequest,HttpServletResponse)}
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest#debugOn() @Rest(debugOn)} annotation for turning on debug mode using class/method identifiers:

  ##### Example:

  // Turn on debug per-request on the class and always on the doX() method. @Rest( debugOn="MyResource=per-request,Mysource.doX=true" // Typically defined via system or env property. ) public class MyResource { @RestMethod public void String doX() { ... }

- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestConfig} has been broken up into {@del BasicRestConfig} and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.BasicRestMethods} so that you're not forced to implement methods such as getOptions() and getStats() if you're implementing the interface to configure your REST class.
- Any of the following classes can now be instantiated with public static create() methods:
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallHandler}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestCallLogger}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestInfoProvider}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.utils.ClasspathResourceFinder}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestResourceResolver}
  - {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestGuard}
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.ResponseHandler}
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.http.annotation.Path#required() @Path(required)} annotation support.
  A path can be marked as not-required when the path variable is resolved by a parent resource like so:

  @Rest(path="/parent/{p1}",children=Child.class) public class Parent { ... } @Rest(path="/child") public class Child { @RestMethod(path="/") public String doGet(@Path(name="p1",required=false) String p1) { // p1 will be null when accessed via "/child" // p1 will be non-null when accessed via "/parent/p1/child". } ... }

  This allows the child resource to be mapped to multiple parents that may resolve various different path variables.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod#paths() @RestMethod(paths)} annotation that allows you to map multiple paths to the same Java method.
  Example:

  @RestMethod( name=GET, paths={"/","/{foo}"} ) public String doGet(@Path(name="foo",required=false) String foo) {...}

- The {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestMethod @RestMethod} annotation is now implied on all unannotated methods of a {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.Rest @Rest}-annotated interface.

  @Rest public interface MyRest { String getFoo(); // @RestMethod(name=GET,path="/foo") is implied. }

- Improved {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.RestContext#REST_messages REST_messages} support (mostly bug fixes).

##### juneau-rest-server-springboot

- {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.JuneauRestInitializer} now provides a no-arg constructor so that it can be used in the @ConfigurationContext(initializers=JuneauRestInitializer.class) when unit testing using @SpringBootTest.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.helper.ResourceDescription#ResourceDescription(String,String,String)} constructor and {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.helper.ResourceDescriptions#append(String,String,String)} method.
- New {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.helper.Hyperlink} class.

##### juneau-rest-client

- Completely revamped RestClient API.
  - All APIs now extend from HttpClient interfaces.
  - Better integration with HttpClient.
  - New fluent-style methods with many new convenience methods.
  - Updated {@doc juneau-rest-client documentation}.
- @RemoteMethod-annotated methods can now return {@link java.util.concurrent.Future Futures} and {@link java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture CompletableFutures} for concurrent processing of requests.
  Example:

  @Remote public interface MyInterface { public Future<String> doGet(); } MyInterface i = client.getRemote(MyInterface.class, "http://localhost:12345/myInterface"); Future<String> f = i.doGet(); // Do other stuff. String result = f.get();

- Additions to {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote} annotation:
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#version version} - Adds a client version header to all requests.
  - {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.Remote#headers headers} - Adds a set of headers to all requests.
  - {@del headerSupplier} - Adds a dynamic supplier of headers to all requests.

##### juneau-rest-mock

- The MockRest and MockRemote classes have been remove entirely and all existing functions have been moved into the improved {@del org.apache.juneau.rest.mock2.MockRestClient} class. All REST test mocking can be done through this single class.

### 9.0.0 (TBD)

Juneau 9.0.0 is a major release. Deprecated APIs that have been accumulating over time have been removed. The underlying code has undergone significant refactoring to ease maintainability and improve overall performance.

##### General changes

- Configuration properties have been removed entirely. They have been replaced with a standard builder-based architecture. In addition to making the code more maintainable, it also improves performance when creating new serializers/parsers/rest clients (and others).

##### juneau-marshall

- Eliminated the various @XConfig(applyX={...}) annotations and replaced them with the ability to apply targeted annotations directly to configuration classes and methods (such as REST classes/methods).

  @Rest(...) @Bean(on="MyBean1,MyBean2",sort=true) @UrlEncoding(onClass=MyList.class,expandedParams=true) public class MyRestClass { @RestOp(...) @Bean(on="MyBean1,MyBean2",sort=false) @UrlEncoding(onClass=MyList.class,expandedParams=false) public Object myRestMethod() { ... } }

- New shortened form {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp#value()} for specifying http method name and path.

  // Normal form @RemoteOp(method=PUT, path="/foo") // Shortened form @RemoteOp("PUT /foo")

- New annotations: {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteGet}/{@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemotePut}/{@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemotePost}/{@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteDelete}
- Significant refactoring of the classes in the {@link org.apache.juneau.http} package and subpackages. Attempts were made to make classes as natural extensions to the Apache HttpComponents APIs. Significant new functionality here.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Marshalled @Marshalled} annotation for non-bean classes.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.Bean#example() @Bean(example)} annotation.
- New {@link org.apache.juneau.annotation.BeanConfig#ignoreUnknownEnumValues() @BeanConfig(ignoreUnknownEnumValues)} annotation and support for ignoring unknown enum values during parsing.
- Java Serialized Object marshalling support has been removed entirely due to security risks with usage (better safe than sorry).

##### juneau-rest-server

- Significant refactoring done to allow for many extensible aspects of the API to be performed through injected beans in Spring. These include logging, debugging, REST method arg types, static files, file finders, swagger creators, thrown stores, response processors, serializers/parsers, JSON schema generators, statistics gathering stores, and default request attributes/headers and response headers.
- Defining REST resources with predefined marshalling support is now much simpler. You now extend from a basic REST servlet/object class and then include an interface with predefined common annotations.

  // A root resource that supports JSON/HTML marshalling. public class MyRootResources extends BasicRestServletGroup implements BasicJsonHtmlConfig { ... } // A child resource that supports all available marshalling. public class MyChildResource extends BasicRestObject implements BasicUniversalConfig { ... }

  REST servlets/objects are in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.servlet} package and REST configs are in the {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.config} package.
- @RestMethod annotation has been replaced with {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteGet} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemotePut} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemotePost} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteDelete} / {@link org.apache.juneau.http.remote.RemoteOp}
- New shortened form {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.annotation.RestOp#value()} for specifying http method name and path.

  // Normal form @RestOp(method=PUT, path="/{propertyName}") // Shortened form @RestOp("PUT /{propertyName}")

##### juneau-dto

- Addition of OpenAPI 3.0 ({@link org.apache.juneau.dto.openapi3} package).

##### juneau-rest-server-springboot

- The requirement for using JuneauRestInitializer during App initialization to use bean injection has been eliminated. Instead, root resources should simply extend from {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServlet} and {@link org.apache.juneau.rest.springboot.BasicSpringRestServletGroup}. These will automatically hook into the Spring Boot framework for resolution of REST children and various extension beans added to the REST API framework.

##### juneau-rest-client

- While the general usage pattern stays the same, the REST client code has undergone significant rewriting. It is now more inline as an extension of the Apache HttpClient library. Much new functionality such as support for fluent assertions has been added.

##### juneau-rest-mock

- Entirely rewritten. Changes too many to list.
