EclipseLink Resource Model
The EclipseLink Resource Model defines the structure of objects marshalled and unmarshalled with XML or JSON when used in a JAX-RS service. By default the JAXB marshaller will return the entire accessible graph of what is returned from the JAX-RS method call. While this approach is functional it is very naive and may not provide a proper resource model required by REST.
Requirements
- Specify the resource scope of an object that will be marshalled or unmarshalled with a JAX-RS method call
- JPA Models with MOXy mappings
- MOXy mapped models
- All relationships not included in the resource should return a link URI to retrieve the referenced resource
- (Advanced) Using header properties allow alternate resource model definitions to be returned and consumed.
