Setting headers on the request of a Client REST binding.

mike.houston.evault Sep 5, 2013 10:56 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to set some header attributes on a Reference that is bound to a Client REST interface. The swithyard documentation refers to implementing the ExchangeInterceptor but the binary jar files don't have this interface in them. However, the source code that I have has the interface. My assumption is that it has been removed (for something better) but the docs and source haven't caught up. Can you confirm this and if so how is the best way for me to add some header attributes to my Client REST request before it gets sent out?

Thanks

ExchangeInterceptor is definitely in SY 1.0.0.Final. Docs on use here:
Exchange Interceptors - SwitchYard - Project Documentation Editor

Example here:
https://github.com/jboss-switchyard/quickstarts/blob/master/bean-service/src/main/java/org/switchyard/quickstarts/bean/service/OrderInterceptor.java

Class is present in the switchyard-api module, which is available in JBoss Nexus and is present in the modules/system/layers/soa/org/switchyard/api/main directory of your SY installation.

It's possible to set a context property which could be mapped to HTTP headers on a client REST request using this mechanism. You can also implement your own context mapper to add the headers. Or you could just set the context properties in whatever code is invoking the REST reference binding.

To provide more help, a sample application which demonstrates your use case / issue will be really useful.

hth,
