Annotation Type PATCH

@Target(value={METHOD,TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @HttpMethod(value="PATCH")
 @Documented
 @NameBinding
public @interface PATCH

HTTP "PATCH" method annotation.

The annotation acts at the same time as JAX-RS filter/interceptor "named binder", i.e. it can be applied to custom filter/interceptor that implements the PATCH support and JAX-RS runtime will take care of automatically associating the filter/interceptor with the @PATCH-annotated resource method.
