RESTful on Play! framework

Question

We are planning a project primarily serving content to mobile apps, but need to have a website.

My question is whether is makes sense to use Jersey or Restlet to dev

Answer 1

Integrating with a JAX-RS implementation is a possible alternative approach to using Play's built-in HTTP routing. For a RESTEasy example, see the RESTEasy Play! module.

This approach makes sense if you are already invested in JAX-RS, or if you need some of the advanced features REST that JAX-RS provides such as content negotiation. If not, it would be simpler to just use Play directly to serve JSON or XML in response to HTTP requests.
