Method Detail

createLink

public void createLink(HalRelation rel,
                       String... pathParams)

Creates a link in a given relation.

Parameters:

rel - the HalRelation for which a link should be constructed

pathParams - the path params to populate the url template with.

getLinkedRelations

public Set<HalRelation> getLinkedRelations()

getLinkedResourceIdsByRelation

public Set<String> getLinkedResourceIdsByRelation(HalRelation relation)

resolve

public List<HalResource<?>> resolve(HalRelation relation,
                                    ProcessEngine processEngine)

Resolves a relation. Locates a HalLinkResolver for resolving the set of all linked resources in the relation.

Parameters:

relation - the relation to resolve

processEngine - the process engine to use

Returns:

the list of resolved resources

Throws:

RuntimeException - if no HalLinkResolver can be found for the linked resource type.

mergeLinks

public void mergeLinks(HalResource<?> embedded)

merge the links of an embedded resource into this linker. This is useful when building resources which are actually resource collections. You can then merge the relations of all resources in the collection and the unique the set of linked resources to embed.

Parameters:

embedded - the embedded resource for which the links should be merged into this linker.
