jax-rs-examples

A bunch of examples on how to use JAX-RS in order to serve up REST endpoints. Also contains a minimal maven config for Jersey.

Project Setup

This project uses Jersey to provide the JAX-RS implmentation. In order to use this with Maven, add the following to your pom.xml:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
            <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.21</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
            <version>7.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

As well, Genson is used to provide JSON support for JAX-RS.

REST Endpoints

There are several endpoints already defined. Some take a GET request, others take a POST request.

Got more ideas?

Create a bug or a pull request. The idea here is to have a lot of minimal examples so that people can see how everything works together
