Annotation Interface NameBinding

@Target(ANNOTATION_TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
public @interface NameBinding

Meta-annotation used to create name binding annotations for filters and interceptors. Name binding via annotations is only supported as part of the Server API. In name binding, a name-binding annotation is first defined using the @NameBinding meta-annotation:

  @Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
  @Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
  @NameBinding
  public @interface Logged { }
 

The defined name-binding annotation is then used to decorate a filter or interceptor class (more than one filter or interceptor may be decorated with the same name-binding annotation):

  @Logged
  public class LoggingFilter
          implements ContainerRequestFilter, ContainerResponseFilter {
      ...
  }
 

At last, the name-binding annotation is applied to the resource method(s) to which the name-bound JAX-RS provider(s) should be bound to:

  @Path("/")
  public class MyResourceClass {
      @GET
      @Produces("text/plain")
      @Path("{name}")
      @Logged
      public String hello(@PathParam("name") String name) {
          return "Hello " + name;
      }
  }
 

A name-binding annotation may also be attached to a custom JAX-RS Application subclass. In such case a name-bound JAX-RS provider bound by the annotation will be applied to all resource and sub-resource methods in the JAX-RS application:

  @Logged
  @ApplicationPath("myApp")
  public class MyApplication extends jakarta.ws.rs.core.Application {
      ...
  }
