Entity filtering for Jax-rs using RestEasy

[Kesava Krishna]

I am building restful services using rest easy. I have few services which have to address different views of same Model/Resource.

Ex:- Model is Project Short View :- I have to return only few members of the resource Detailed View - I have to return all members of the resource

Want to know if there is jax-rs specification or Rest EASY API to support this. If not please throw some pointers on how to acheive it.

Let me know if i have to provide more background

How about different URL paths for Short and Detailed views:
      /projects/{projectId}/views/short-view
      /projects/{projectId}/views/detailed-view

[Kesava Krishna]

For each path if I need to have a separate operation, since the service functionality is same it might be duplicating the same code into two operations. What do you say?

Factor-out the common code and put it in a method which is called for both URLs.
