22.1.7 resource class

A resource class is a Java class which implements a corresponding Web resource. A Web resource is the intended conceptual target of a hypertext reference (Fielding). From a developer point of view, a resource class contains the code which is executed in response to a Web request. In Kauri, resource classes are either implemented using the standard JAX-RS API or using the Restlet-specific org.restlet.resource.Resource API.
