        Returns the list of fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request. The returned list may be modified if permitted by this query request. An empty list indicates that all fields should be included.

        NOTE: field filtering alters the structure of a JSON resource and MUST only be performed once while processing a request. It is therefore the responsibility of front-end implementations (e.g. HTTP listeners, Servlets, etc) to perform field filtering. Request handler and resource provider implementations SHOULD NOT filter fields, but MAY choose to optimise their processing in order to return a resource containing only the fields targeted by the field filters.

        Specified by:
        getFields in interface Request
        Returns:
        The list of fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request (never null).
      • getNewResourceId

        String getNewResourceId()
        Returns the client provided ID of the resource to be created. The new resource ID will be appended to the resource path in order to obtain the full path of the new resource.

        The new resource ID is optional and should be used in cases where the client wishes to determine the path of the resource to be created. If the new resource ID is not provided then the server will be responsible for generating the ID of the new resource.

        Returns:
        The client provided ID of the resource to be created, or null if the server should be responsible for generating the resource ID.
