Interface Link.Builder

Method Detail

• link

  Link.Builder link(Link link)

  Initialize builder using another link. Sets underlying URI and copies all parameters.

  Parameters:

  link - other link from which to initialize.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

• link

  Link.Builder link(String link)

  Initialize builder using another link represented as a string. Uses simple parser to convert string representation into a link.

   link ::= '<' uri '>' (';' link-param)*
   link-param ::= name '=' quoted-string
   

  See RFC 5988 for more information.

  Parameters:

  link - other link in string representation.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if string representation of URI is invalid.

• uri

  Link.Builder uri(URI uri)

  Set underlying URI template for the link being constructed.

  Parameters:

  uri - underlying URI for link

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

• uri

  Link.Builder uri(String uri)

  Set underlying string representing URI template for the link being constructed.

  Parameters:

  uri - underlying URI for link.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if string representation of URI is invalid.

• baseUri

  Link.Builder baseUri(URI uri)

  Set the base URI for resolution of relative URIs. If the underlying URI is already absolute, the base URI is ignored.

  Parameters:

  uri - base URI for relative links.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

• baseUri

  Link.Builder baseUri(String uri)

  Set the base URI as a string for resolution of relative URIs. If the underlying URI is already absolute, the base URI is ignored.

  Parameters:

  uri - base URI for relative links.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if string representation of URI is invalid.

  Link.fromPath(java.lang.String), Link.fromResource(java.lang.Class), Link.fromMethod(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String)

• uriBuilder

  Link.Builder uriBuilder(UriBuilder uriBuilder)

  Set underlying URI builder representing the URI template for the link being constructed.

  Parameters:

  uriBuilder - underlying URI builder.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

• rel

  Link.Builder rel(String rel)

  Convenience method to set a link relation. More than one rel value can be specified by using one or more whitespace characters as delimiters according to RFC 5988. The effect of calling this method is cumulative; relations are appended using a single space character as separator.

  Parameters:

  rel - relation name.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the name is null.

• title

  Link.Builder title(String title)

  Convenience method to set a title on this link.

  Parameters:

  title - title parameter of this link.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the title is null.

• type

  Link.Builder type(String type)

  Convenience method to set a type on this link.

  Parameters:

  type - type parameter of this link.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the type is null.

• param

  Link.Builder param(String name,
                     String value)

  Set an arbitrary parameter on this link. Note that link parameters are those defined in RFC 5988 and should not be confused with URI parameters which can be specified when calling build(Object...).

  Parameters:

  name - the name of the parameter.

  value - the value set for the parameter.

  Returns:

  the updated builder.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if either the name or value are null.

• build

  Link build(Object... values)

  Finish building this link using the supplied values as URI parameters. The state of the builder is unaffected; this method may be called multiple times on the same builder instance.

  Parameters:

  values - parameters used to build underlying URI.

  Returns:

  newly built link.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if there are any URI template parameters without a supplied value, or if a value is null.

  UriBuilderException - if a URI cannot be constructed based on the current state of the underlying URI builder.

• buildRelativized

  Link buildRelativized(URI uri,
                        Object... values)

  Finish building this link using the supplied values as URI parameters and relativize the result with respect to the supplied URI. If the underlying link is already relative or if it is absolute but does not share a prefix with the supplied URI, this method is equivalent to calling build(java.lang.Object[]). Note that a base URI can be set on a relative link using baseUri(java.net.URI). The state of the builder is unaffected; this method may be called multiple times on the same builder instance.

  Parameters:

  uri - URI used for relativization.

  values - parameters used to build underlying URI.

  Returns:

  newly built link.

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if there are any URI template parameters without a supplied value, or if a value is null.

  UriBuilderException - if a URI cannot be constructed based on the current state of the underlying URI builder.
