This is a starter project using jax-rs / jersey. I've created this because I often find myself wanting to expirement with something that needs a webservice, and this gives me a starting spot. Clone or fork and use as needed.
- Compile The project compiles using gradle. If you already have gradle installed, compile using:
gradle war
If you do not have gradle install, you can utilize the gradle wrapper included in the source
./g war
The war file is compile to: build/libs/jersey-starterkit.war
- Deploy the war file to web container. I've been using apache-tomcat [http://tomcat.apache.org], and typically copy the war to the tomcat webapps directory. On my machine:
cp build/libs/jersey-starterkit.war /Applications/apache-tomcat-6.0.33/webapps/
- Confirm that it is running by fetching the URL at on webcontainer + /jersey-helloworld/rest/hello. On my machine:
curl localhost:8080/jersey-starterkit/rest/hello
If you use Eclipse, the gradle scripts are nice enough to create your classpath files.
If you have gradle installed, run:
gradle eclipseClasspath
If you do not have gradle installed, run the gradle wrapper:
./g eclipse
Now you can import the project into eclipse.
There is a log4j configuration defined in src/main/resources/log4j.properties. By default this will log to the STDOUT and to a series of log files. Change the logging configuration as needed.
If you would like to use the default logging, create the logging folders:
> sudo mkdir /restapi
> chmod a+wr /restapi
