How To Implement Input Validation For REST resources
The SaaS platform I’m working on has a RESTful interface that accepts XML payloads.
Implementing REST Resources
For a Java shop like us, it makes sense to use JAX-B to generate JavaBean classes from an XML Schema. Working with XML (and JSON) payloads using JAX-B is very easy in a JAX-RS environment like Jersey:
@Path("orders")public class OrdersResource { @POST @Consumes({ "application/xml", "application/json" }) public void place(Order order) { // Jersey marshalls the XML payload into the Order // JavaBean, allowing us to write type-safe code // using Order's getters and setters. int quantity = order.getQuantity(); // ... }} Source : http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2013/08/how-to-implement-input-validation-for-rest-resources.html
