    • getAdditionalParameter

      String getAdditionalParameter(String name)
      Returns the additional parameter which should be used to control the behavior of this action request.
      Parameters:
      name - The name of the additional parameter.
      Returns:
      The additional parameter which should be used to control the behavior of this action request

    • getAdditionalParameters

      Map<String,String> getAdditionalParameters()
      Returns the additional parameters which should be used to control the behavior of this action request. The returned map may be modified if permitted by this action request.
      Returns:

    • getFields

      List<JsonPointer> getFields()
      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.

      Returns:
      The list of fields which should be included with each JSON resource returned by this request (never null).
