Interface ParamBinder

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBasicParamBinder, DTOParamBinder, MultipartParamBinder, PathInfoParamBinder

public interface ParamBinder

Parameter binder interface; defines the contract for a parameter binding policy. All parameters in a render or action method after the first context param ( RenderContext, etc. ) will be bound parameters with a ParamBinder of some sort associated to them.

Bound parameters may be simple integer or String parameters, or very complex object structures. The associated RequestMapper is the responsible of performing the necessary mappings associated with the binding process. As it is a RequestMapper, validation may also be performed here if necessary.

This interface is generic and not REST specific.
