Method Details

getRestHandlerInterceptor

UnaryOperator<RestHandler> getRestHandlerInterceptor(ThreadContext threadContext)

Returns a function used to intercept each rest request before handling the request. The returned UnaryOperator is called for every incoming rest request and receives the original rest handler as it's input. This allows adding arbitrary functionality around rest request handlers to do for instance logging or authentication. A simple example of how to only allow GET request is here:

 
    UnaryOperator<RestHandler> getRestHandlerInterceptor(ThreadContext threadContext) {
      return originalHandler -> (RestHandler) (request, channel, client) -> {
        if (request.method() != Method.GET) {
          throw new IllegalStateException("only GET requests are allowed");
        }
        originalHandler.handleRequest(request, channel, client);
      };
    }
 
 

Note: Only one installed plugin may implement a rest interceptor.
