public class RestServlet
extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Servlet class used to service REST requests to a WLP server. This servlet dispatches REST requests to any available installed Command sets, which are installed and configured via wlp-restapi-config.xml.

This servlet can optionally take an init_param that can be used to configure sub wlp-restapi-config.xml files if there is a need to modularize them. To use this functionality, add one or more init-params to the REST servlet element in web.xml with names of the form "rest_config_FOO" where FOO can be any unique string. The value of each of these init params should be the filename of the sub rest config file, such as "foo-rest-config.xml". Sub wlp-restapi-config.xml files may be packaged in jar files in WEB-INF directories as well as being directly placed in WEB-INF directory on the filesystem.

If the namespace functionality for REST commands is in use, the REST servlet should additionally be mapped to that namespace path in web.xml. For instance, if namespace "/my/rest" were definied for any command groups in wlp-restapi-config.xml, the REST servlet needs to be mapped to "/my/rest/*" in web.xml, as the servlet path is used to route namespaced commands within the servlet.
