You might also find the StorageService example useful though, IIRC, it
doesn't support an arbitrarily deep hierarchical structure.
Also look at the limited property of the @Path annotation, that allows
you to capture multiple path segments with a single template parameter.
@Path(value="items/{item_path}", limited=false)
public class ItemResource {
// methods to operate on an item
@GET
public Item getItem(@PathParam("item_path") String itemPath) {
...
}
}
A GET request for items/1/2/3/4 will result in a value of "1/2/3/4"
for the itemPath parameter of the getItem method. You can then split
the itemPath value, find the appropriate resource and return it.
If you'd rather avoid splitting the path yourself then you can use a
recursive sub-resource locator approach instead:
@Path("items")
public class ItemsResource {
@Path("path_segment")
public ItemResource getItem(@PathParam("path_segment") String
childId) {
...
}
}
public class ItemResource {
@Path("path_segment")
public ItemResource getChildItem(@PathParam("path_segment") String
childId) {
...
}
// methods to operate on an item
@GET ...
}
The getItem method is called when the request URI path starts with
"items" but has additional path segments. It returns an object that is
then used to recursively find the correct ItemResource. getChildItem
will be called on each returned ItemResource instance until the URI
path is exhausted at which point the appropriate @GET, @POST etc
method of the final ItemResource will be called.
