HTTP Resources#
Note
This page has been migrated from the old documentation, and has not yet been fully revised. There might be inconsistencies or errors when using with current LinkAhead versions.
HTTP resources are implemented in the resource
package, in classes inheriting from AbstractCaosDBServerResource (
which inherits Restlet’s Resource
class). The main CaosDBServer class
defines which HTTP resource (for example /Entity/{specifier}) will be handled by which class
(EntityResource
in this case).
Implementing classes need to overwrite for example the httpGetInChildClass() method (or methods
corresponding to other HTTP request methods such as POST, PUT, …). Typically, they might call the
execute() method of a Transaction
object. Transactions are explained in detail in the Transactions and Schedules
section.
