Subinterfaces of ActionsExecutable in org.sakaiproject.entitybroker.entityprovider.capabilities

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
interface	ActionsDefineable	This entity supports custom actions (as defined by RoR and REST microformat: http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/urls) This is the more controllable version, use ActionsExecutable if you want to use the conventions and allow the system to detect your custom actions based on method names and annotations This means that there are custom actions which can be invoked on entities or entity spaces, custom actions can augment the current entity operation or they can completely change the behavior and skip the current operation entirely You can create methods in your entity provider which either end with "CustomAction" or use the EntityCustomAction suffix to define the custom actions You can describe the actions using the Describeable key: .action. = description If you want more control then you can use ActionsExecutionControllable
interface	ActionsExecutionControllable	This entity supports custom actions (as defined by RoR and REST microformat: http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/urls) This is the most complex interface for implementing custom actions but allows the most control also, use ActionsExecutable or ActionsDefineable in most circumstance This means that there are custom actions which can be invoked on entities or entity spaces, custom actions can augment the current entity operation or they can completely change the behavior and skip the current operation entirely You can describe the actions using the Describeable key: .action. = description You can create methods in your entity provider which either end with "CustomAction" or use the EntityCustomAction suffix to define the custom actions
interface	RESTful	Indicates that entities handled by this provider are RESTful as defined by the REST microformat: http://microformats.org/wiki/rest/urls Requires all CRUD functionality, Collection handling, HTML handling, and ability to support output formats This is mostly a convenience interface to make sure that everything needed to support REST has been implemented, it also includes the marker to indicate that RESTful URLs should work for entities of this type
