Method Detail

doPatch

void doPatch(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
             javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
      throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
             IOException

Perform a HTTP PATCH operation. The PATCH method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be applied to the resource identified by the Request-URI. The set of changes is represented in a format called a "patch document" identified by a media type. The server MUST apply the entire set of changes atomically and never provide (e.g., in response to a GET during this operation) a partially modified representation. If the entire patch document cannot be successfully applied, then the server MUST NOT apply any of the changes.

Parameters:

request - an HttpServletRequest object that contains the request the client has made of the servlet

response - an HttpServletResponse object that contains the response the servlet sends to the client

Throws:

IOException - if an input or output error is detected when the servlet handles the PATCH request

javax.servlet.ServletException - if the request for the PATCH could not be handled
