defines the unique identifier or primary key of the relation. Persistence provider, EclipseLink, which comes bundled with Glassfish, recognizes it and transforms it into an entity from simple POJO. The JPA annotation makes any simple POJO a persistence class. This simple Java class represents the Book entity and maps the BOOK_LIB table into the database. Here, we will have four classes, namely, Book.java, Books.java, BookService.java and ApplicationConfig.java. Let’s implement the server or resource producer first.

Project 2: A remote client consuming HTTP responses as a client (JAX-RS Client).

Project 1: Producing HTTP operation through Web Service as a server (JAX-RS Server).

Here we will define a JAX-RS service that allows us to perform read and create operations on the database. helps in pulling information from the HTTP request. The parameter injection annotation such as etc. The Java annotation provided by JAX-RS helps to bind specific URI patterns and HTTP operations to specific methods of Java classes. EJB and JAX-RS will perform data operations with the help of EclipseLink, JPA provider. In the example we will have a library database in MySQL. I believe, if one is to learn programming there is only one way – the hard way 🙂 Writing JAX-RS Web Service from Scratch This may be the easy way to build one but not the very best, especially for a newbie. There is a wizard for creating a RESTful resource server as well as its client counterpart in Netbeans. Note: The examples given below are implemented in JDK- jdk7, App Server- Glassfish4.0, IDE- Netbeans ( Eclipse is also great, but you may be boggled by configuration issues…).

Readers may also refer – Creating SOAP Web Service with JAX-WS to appreciate the differences and similarities in creating ‘Web Services’ in SOAP (JAX-WS) and REST (JAX-RS).įig 1: JAX-RS RESTful communication between Client and Server Here we focus on ‘creating JAX-RS’, the RESTful implementation of Java. Refer to Fielding’s Ph D dissertation for an in depth understanding. Obviously, a one line explanation would be a ludicrous definition of such a robust and extensible architecture. Information is regarded as ‘resources’ addressed through URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). Plain and simple, REST is built over HTTP for a distributed, collaborative, document based system.

The orchestra of intermingling technologies working together in SOAP is absent here.

RESTful (Representational State Transfer) Web Services are not protocol specific. Creating RESTful Web Services with JAX-RS
