Annotation Type Template

@Inherited
@Target(value={TYPE,METHOD})
@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Template

Used to annotate JAX-RS resources and resource methods to provide reference to a template for MVC support.

In case a resource class is annotated with Template annotation then an instance of this class is considered to be the model. Producible media types are determined from the resource classes Produces annotation.

In case a resource method is annotated with Template annotation then the return value of the method is the model. Otherwise the processing of such a method is the same as if the return type of the method was Viewable class. If a method is annotated with Template and also returning a Viewable instance then the values (resolvingClass) from the viewable take precedence over those defined by the annotation. Producible media types are determined from the method's Produces annotation.

To see how templates are being resolved, see viewable.
