/** |
||||
* A template parameter that can be applied to a Map that contains header |
||||
* entries, where the keys are Strings that are the header field names and the |
||||
* values are the header field values. The headers specified by the map will be |
||||
* applied to the request after all other processing, and will take precedence |
||||
* over any previously specified header parameters. |
||||
* <br> |
||||
* This parameter is useful in cases where different header fields and values |
||||
* need to be set on an API method on a per-request basis in a thread-safe manner |
||||
* and independently of Feign client construction. A concrete example of a case |
||||
* like this are custom metadata header fields (e.g. as "x-amz-meta-*" or |
||||
* "x-goog-meta-*") where the header field names are dynamic and the range of keys |
||||
* cannot be determined a priori. The {@link Headers} annotation does not allow this |
||||
* because the header fields that it defines are static (it is not possible to add or |
||||
* remove fields on a per-request basis), and doing this using a custom {@link Target} |
||||
* or {@link RequestInterceptor} can be cumbersome (it requires more code for per-method |
||||
* customization, it is difficult to implement in a thread-safe manner and it requires |
||||
* customization when the Feign client for the API is built). |
||||
* <br> |
||||
* <pre> |
||||
* ... |
||||
* @RequestLine("GET /servers/{serverId}") |
||||
* void get(@Param("serverId") String serverId, @HeaderMap Map<String, Object>); |
||||
* ... |
||||
* </pre> |
||||
* The annotated parameter must be an instance of {@link Map}, and the keys must |
||||
* be Strings. The header field value of a key will be the value of its toString |
||||
* method, except in the following cases: |
||||
* <br> |
||||
* <br> |
||||
* <ul> |
||||
* <li>if the value is null, the value will remain null (rather than converting |
||||
* to the String "null") |
||||
* <li>if the value is an {@link Iterable}, it is converted to a {@link List} of |
||||
* String objects where each value in the list is either null if the original |
||||
* value was null or the value's toString representation otherwise. |
||||
* </ul> |
||||
* <br> |
||||
* Once this conversion is applied, the query keys and resulting String values |
||||
* follow the same contract as if they were set using |
||||
* {@link RequestTemplate#header(String, String...)}. |
