resteasy-quickstart

This is a base project to quickly test concepts for JAX-RS using Resteasy and Jetty.

It contains a Start class that configures jetty correctly and has Maven configured such that RestEasy will automatically find your REST resources.

Getting started

Perform a git clone of the repository and remove the git bits:

git clone https://github.com/dashorst/jaxrs-quickstart-resteasy.git
cd jaxrs-quickstart-resteasy
rm -rf .git

Now you can import the project into your favorite IDE, use the Maven integration to import the POM file.

Configured Resource

This project has one resource configured called HelloResource, and it can be found in src/main/java in the package com.martijndashorst.quickstarts.resteasy.

Running the Project

To run the project use the Start class located in the src/test/java folder. This will start the embedded Jetty container and make the REST resources available at port 8080 of localhost.

You can use for example your browser to retrieve the root resource:

http://localhost:8080

This should retrieve a plain text string:

Hello, World!

If run using the curl command you should expect the following output:

$ curl http://localhost:8080 --verbose
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.24.0
> Host: localhost:8080
> Accept: */*
> 
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Type: text/plain
< Content-Length: 13
< Server: Jetty(8.1.12.v20130726)
< 
< Hello, World!

Have fun!
