Contents

The description of what's done here you'll find in the jersey wiki.

Just as a pointer at which files you might have a look:

The mapping of the URI path space is presented in the following table:

URI path Resource class HTTP method Description
items ItemsResource POST Creates a new item and allocates a new unique URI for it, the new URI is returned back in the Location header
items/{id} ItemResource GET Returns an item with the id={id}
items/{id}/value/{val} ItemResource PUT Updates the value of the item with the id={id} with the new value {val}

Running the Example

If you are working with Jersey GlassFish update center module installed into your existing GlassFish instance, you will need to follow instructions at the module README file in order to deploy the example.

Otherwise, you can run the example using embedded GlassFish as follows:

run

mvn clean package embedded-glassfish:run

or you can run the example using Jetty as follows:

mvn clean package jetty:run

Get the generated wadl via curl:
