Easier way to get raw input

[roneigebert]

I need to have a @POST and get the body contents without any seralization. The only way to do this is creating a @WebResource class manually, but I think we need have a easier way like that (pseudo code):

@POST postMethod( @RawInput byte[] input ){ /** code */  }
// or
@POST postMethod( @RawInput InputStream input ){ /** code */  }
// or
@POST postMethod( @RawInput String input ){ /** code */  }

Obs: I know how to create a @WebResource manually to solve my problem, but, other users I think not

Hey @roneigebert ,

That's actually a pretty good idea. I think that if you include the following snippet here you will probably allow any developer to receive byte[] in the routing method.

.and( typeIs( byte[].class ), v -> "bodyData" )

Do you want to give it a try?

Hi @miere.

I liked your suggestion, it's easier than create an annotation, but if I do this, the user won't be able to use "byte[].class" to transfer data as JSON format (or any other format).

What I can do without creating any annotation is changing the parameter parser to check if the parameter an InputStream, something like that:

.and( typeIs( InputStream.class ), v -> new ByteArrayInputStream( {byteArrayHere} ) )

Do you like it? If you agree I will send a PR soon ;)

Sure, mate. I'll be waiting for you PR. ;) Cheers
