Interface RequestHandler

All Superinterfaces:

EntityProvider, EntityViewAccessProvider

public interface RequestHandler
extends EntityProvider, EntityViewAccessProvider

Indicates that this entity provider will handle its own entity view requests, this would be very unusual but it allows the entity provider itself to redirect requests to a tool and normally would be used if there is some special circumstance only
WARNING: This will be called before any other request handling and before the access provider is called and will cause all other processing to be skipped (includes REST calls, custom actions, formatting, etc.)

NOTE: if you want to stop certain requests from coming through then a better option is to use RequestInterceptor which is triggered just before this would be called
