Code Representation of a DSpace Object
DSpace API Object (hibernate): org.dspace.content.DSpaceObject
This is the representation of an object from the DSpace database. Since DSpace 6, this object is populated with hibernate.
Rest Object: org.dspace.app.rest.model.DSpaceObject
This is a plain old java object (pojo) representation of a DSpace object.
Coding the REST object
- Add private properties
- Add a get/set bean methods
- To exclude a property from JSON representation, add @JsonIgnore to the get method or to the property
Hateoas Object: org.dspace.app.rest.model.hateoas.DSpaceResource
This representation of an object allows for
- the embedding of other DSpace objects within the object
- linking to other external DSpace objects
The base class in this package uses reflection to identify embedded and linked properties.
