The name of the service this handler exports. This is also the name of the root path element of the REST endpoint. E.g. The "activities" service consumes all paths under /activities/...

path

public abstract String path

The structure of the REST paths used to address this service. Paths can contain placeholders delimited by {...} that bind a named parameter or set of parameters to the request. A plural parameter is denoted by appending '+' after the named parameter. Parameters are bound in order left-to-right and missing path segments are bound to null or empty sets E.g. /{userId}+/{group}/{personId}+ will parameterize the following URLs /1/@self => { userId : [1], group : @self, personId : []} /1/@self => { userId : [1], group : @self, personId : []} /1,2/@friends => { userId : [1,2], group : @friends, personId : []} /1,2/@friends/2,3 => { userId : [1,2], group : @friends, personId : [2,3]}
