* The HTTP PATCH method is defined in RF5789:
The PATCH * method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be * applied to the resource identified by the Request- URI. Differs from the PUT * method in the way the server processes the enclosed entity to modify the * resource identified by the Request-URI. In a PUT request, the enclosed entity * origin server, and the client is requesting that the stored version be * replaced. With PATCH, however, the enclosed entity contains a set of * instructions describing how a resource currently residing on the origin * server should be modified to produce a new version.* * * @since 4.2 */ @NotThreadSafe public class HttpPatch extends HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase { public final static String METHOD_NAME = "PATCH"; public HttpPatch() { super(); } public HttpPatch(final URI uri) { super(); setURI(uri); } public HttpPatch(final String uri) { super(); setURI(URI.create(uri)); } @Override public String getMethod() { return METHOD_NAME; } }
