JAX-RS: Parameter to Object Mapping

A class containing a constructor with a single String parameter:


public class Ping {

    public String content;

    public Ping(String content) {
        this.content = content;
    }
}    

can be used as parameter of JAX-RS resources without any additional configuration:

@Path("ping")
public class PingResource {

    @GET
    @Path("{ping}")
    public String ping(@PathParam("ping") Ping ping) {
        return "Enjoy Jakarta EE with MicroProfile: " + ping.content;
    }
}    
curl -i http://localhost:8080/[WAR_NAME]/resources/ping/now yields:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Payara Server  5.191 #badassfish
