Hi Patrick,
Unfortunately this functionality is not currently available.
I agree that is an interesting idea and probably not too difficult to
implement if using the Java Bean API.
The names of the properties could correspond to the template names. No
annotation would be required for such support. One would just iterate
through the properties of the Java bean to create a map of name and
values then build the URI using that map. See below for a very simple
proof of concept.

import com.sun.jersey.api.uri.UriTemplate;
import java.beans.BeanInfo;
import java.beans.Introspector;
import java.beans.PropertyDescriptor;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
public class Main {
public static class A {
private String a;
private int b;
public A(String a, int b) {
this.a = a;
this.b = b;
}
public String getA() {
return a;
}
public int getB() {
return b;
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
A a = new A("foo", 42);
BeanInfo bi = Introspector.getBeanInfo(A.class);
PropertyDescriptor[] pds = bi.getPropertyDescriptors();
Map<String, String> values = new HashMap<String, String>();
for (PropertyDescriptor pd : bi.getPropertyDescriptors()) {
String name = pd.getName();
Object value = pd.getReadMethod().invoke(a);
values.put(name, value.toString());
}
UriTemplate ut = new UriTemplate("
http://www.myurl.net/getquote.asp?a=
{a}&b={b}");
String u = ut.createURI(values);
System.out.println(u);
}
}
