public interface Feature
A Feature
is a special type of JAX-RS configuration meta-provider. Once a feature is registered,
its configure(FeatureContext)
method is invoked during JAX-RS runtime configuration and bootstrapping
phase allowing the feature to further configure the runtime context in which it has been registered.
From within the invoked configure(...)
method a feature may provide additional runtime configuration
for the facility or conceptual domain it represents, such as registering additional contract providers,
including nested features and/or specifying domain-specific properties.

configure(FeatureContext context)
A call-back method called when the feature is to be enabled in a given
runtime configuration scope.

boolean configure(FeatureContext context)
true
if the feature was successfully enabled or false
otherwise.
Note that under some circumstances the feature may decide not to enable itself, which
is indicated by returning false
. In such case the configuration context does
not add the feature to the collection of enabled features and a subsequent call to
Configuration.isEnabled(Feature)
or Configuration.isEnabled(Class)
method
would return false
.
