Alternative Shortcuts
Clients specify the requested media type by setting the Http Accept header. Apache Wink provides an alternate method for specifying the requested media type via use of the "alt" request parameter. This functionality is useful for situation where the client has little affect on the accept header, for example when requesting a resource using a browser.
For example, a request to /entry?alt=application/xml specifies that the requested response media type is application/xml.
Apache Wink provides a shortcut mechanism for specifying the media type of the alt query parameter and provides a predefined set of shortcuts for common media types.
Predefined Shortcuts
Shortcut | Media Type |
---|---|
json | text/javascript |
atom | application/atom+xml |
xml | application/xml |
text | text/plain |
html | text/html |
csv | text/csv |
opensearch | application/opensearchdescription+xml |
Customizing Shortcuts
The shortcuts table can be customized by overriding the deployment configuration class.
