    Usage of resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix

    tmseidel

      Hi,

       

      If you want the REST interface is handling only requests on a special URL, you have to specify a the resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix in your web.xml, for example:

       

      web.xml

      <context-param>

           <param-name>resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix</param-name>

           <param-value>/rest</param-value>

        </context-param>

      ...

      <servlet-mapping>

          <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>

          <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>

        </servlet-mapping>

      ...

        <security-constraint>

          <display-name>ModeShape REST</display-name>

          <web-resource-collection>

            <web-resource-name>RestEasy</web-resource-name>

            <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>

          </web-resource-collection>

      ...

       

      The result is that a GET on http://localhost:8080/ModeShapeRest/rest/ is handled by Resteasy, while http://localhost:8080/ModeShapeRest/myOwnServlet/ is not. If I GET now the URL http://localhost:8080/ModeShapeRest/rest/my-repository I get the following response:

       

      {"tomcat":{"workspace":{"name":"tomcat","resources":{"query":"\/ModeShapeRest\/my-repository\/tomcat\/query","items":"\/ModeShapeRest\/my-repository\/tomcat\/items"}}}}

       

      Is this response correct? - I expected that the query and items properties can be reused to build the path to items within the repository, so I'm missing the "rest"-segment in the items and query properties. Or is this the wrong way to limit all Resteasy processing to the /rest segment?

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Thanks,

      Tom
