Method Detail

useHttpGet

IOperationUntypedWithInput<T> useHttpGet()

The client should invoke this method using an HTTP GET instead of an HTTP POST. Note that according the the FHIR specification, all methods must support using the POST method, but only certain methods may support the HTTP GET method, so it is generally not necessary to use this feature.

If you have a specific reason for needing to use a GET however, this method will enable it.

returnResourceType

<R extends IBaseResource> IOperationUntypedWithInput<R> returnResourceType(Class<R> theReturnType)

If this operation returns a single resource body as its return type instead of a Parameters resource, use this method to specify that resource type. This is useful for certain operations (e.g. Patient/NNN/$everything) which return a bundle instead of a Parameters resource.
