Class ServerResource

java.lang.Object

org.restlet.resource.Resource

org.restlet.resource.ServerResource

public abstract class ServerResource
extends Resource

Base class for server-side resources. It acts as a wrapper to a given call, including the incoming Request and the outgoing Response.

It's life cycle is managed by a Finder created either explicitly or more likely implicitly when your ServerResource subclass is attached to a Filter or a Router via the Filter.setNext(Class) or Router.attach(String, Class) methods for example. After instantiation using the default constructor, the final Resource.init(Context, Request, Response) method is invoked, setting the context, request and response. You can intercept this by overriding the Resource.doInit() method. Then, if the response status is still a success, the handle() method is invoked to actually handle the call. Finally, the final Resource.release() method is invoked to do the necessary clean-up, which you can intercept by overriding the Resource.doRelease() method. During this life cycle, if any exception is caught, then the doCatch(Throwable) method is invoked.

Note that when an annotated method manually sets the response entity, if this entity is available then it will be preserved and the result of the annotated method ignored.

In addition, there are two ways to declare representation variants, one is based on the getVariants() method and another one on the annotated methods. Both approaches can't however be used at the same time for now.

Concurrency note: contrary to the Uniform class and its main Restlet subclass where a single instance can handle several calls concurrently, one instance of ServerResource is created for each call handled and accessed by only one thread at a time.

It also catches any ResourceException thrown and updates the response status using the setStatus(Status, Throwable, String) method.

After handling, if the status is set to Status.CLIENT_ERROR_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED, then updateAllowedMethods() is invoked to give the resource a chance to inform the client about the allowed methods.
