Annotation Type ApiAction
-
@Target(METHOD) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface ApiAction
Registers an action with the API framework. This is then surfaced to callers. The list of parameters to the method is converted into HTTP style parameters. This is only processed if the Class also has an ApiModel annotation. An action method can return either void (and use default response settings) or an ApiResponse instance to provide custom data to be used in the response.
