Interface Controller

All Known Implementing Classes:

SpringRESTController

public interface Controller

The invocation of a controller is separated into two phases: The setup phase setup(String, Map, Map) and the execution phase Controller#execute(OutputStream). After the setup phase a controller must already provide all meta data that are necessary (status codes, mime-types). The execution phase only sends the result as {@link OutputStream}.
