[jira] [Created] (WW-4935) Support for sub-resources in rest-plugin

["Deva Gerald (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Deva Gerald created WW-4935:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Support for sub-resources in rest-plugin
                 Key: WW-4935
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4935
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin - REST
            Reporter: Deva Gerald


As of now, the rest-plugin supports only 1 level of hierarchy like /resource/$resource_id

Can we extend this to implement multi levels like below : 
/resource/$resource_id/sub_resource/$sub_resource_id 

 

Here is an example : 
For getting an organization info, we can use a REST API like /organizations/organization_id (supported already)

To get details of an employee of an organization we need to map it as a 
sub-resource like */organizations/organization_id/employees/employee_id* 
rather than just making it as /employees/employee_id. 

Note : In this case there are 2 ids in the URL 
1. resource_id - organization_id and
2. the sub_resource_id - employee_id.
