true if supported; false otherwise

readInternal

protected Resource readInternal(java.lang.Class<? extends Resource> clazz,
                                HttpInputMessage inputMessage)
                         throws java.io.IOException,
                                HttpMessageNotReadableException

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter

readInternal in class AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Resource>

Parameters:

clazz - the type of object to return

inputMessage - the HTTP input message to read from

Returns:

the converted object

getDefaultContentType

protected MediaType getDefaultContentType(Resource resource)

Description copied from class: AbstractHttpMessageConverter
