What does @Context consist of?

[Dana]

Please refer me to the documentation to investigate which services I could retrive from @Context annotation in REST.

In detail.

I have POST function like this:

@POST
    @Produces(RestUtils.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8)

public String postFunc( @Context Settings settings) {

pluginSettings.add(settings.getString("some-key"));
        return <some String>;

    }

I want to retrive smth like Settings or RepositoryHookContext, how could I achieve it?

Hi Dana,

The @Context annotation is used to lookup Stash objects based on the URL. For example "@Context Project project" will lookup the project based on the URL "projects/{projectKey}".

All of the items which Stash provides for use with the @Context annotation extend the class com.atlassian.stash.internal.rest.inject.AbstractResourceInjectable if you want to take a look to see what is injectable.

For adding your own injectable you would need to write your own Jersey InjectableProvider. Note that this would be a low level change and not part of the Stash public API and so is subject to change/breakage in the future.

I would suggest it would be easier to just supply plain parameters to your REST endpoints and do your lookups in the service layer.

Regards,

Tom.
