Just to add to the chorus, I'd like to be able to do something like
this:
@Path("/")
public static class TestResourceWithSubLocator
{
@Context AnnotationProcessor processsor; // <-- here
@Path("subresource")
public TestSubResource property()
{
TestSubResource tsr = new TestSubResource();
processor.injectAndValidateEveryDamnThing(tsr); // <--
and here
return tsr;
}
}
@Path("/{s}")
public static class TestSubResource
{
private String s;
@QueryParam("t")
@Size(min=2, max=4)
private String t;
@Size(min=2, max=4)
public String getS()
{
return s;
}
public void setS(@PathParam("s") String s)
{
this.s = s;
}
...
}
It's just a shame to have all that code implemented in the JAX-RS
provider but make the user do it all over again.
By the way, this is a minor point, but I noticed that Section 1.5
"Terminology" and Section 3.4.1 "Sub Resources" define "sub-resource
methods" and "sub-resource locators" but don't actually define
"sub-resources". It seems like a concept worthy of a definition.
