Class GenericRestResult

java.lang.Object
com.bea.wlp.rest.results.GenericRestResult

All Implemented Interfaces

RestResult

Direct Known Subclasses:

ErrorResult, ForwardResult

public class GenericRestResult

extends Object

implements RestResult

A basic implementation of a RestResult that can be used to easily associate a JavaBean result object with a result that can be returned from a RestCommand. In most cases, custom implementations of RestResult are not necessary, and this class can be used as the result of a command.

This implementation handles formating for both XML and JSON, including providing an appropriate content type string for each. Overall command status of "ok" is always returned by this class, as it is generally used either empty by itself when a command is successful, or after a successful invokation of a RestCommand where a JavaBean is supplied as the result.
