How to deploy a JAX-RS application?

Question

The JAX-RS 1.1 specification says on page 6:

If no Application subclass is present the added servlet MUST be named:

javax.ws.rs.core         


        

Answer 1

With WAS 8.5, I change the web.xml to add:

    com.ibm.websphere.jaxrs.server.IBMRestServlet
    
        javax.ws.rs.Application
        com.tada.rest.RestApplication
    
    1
    javax.ws.rs.core.Application


    javax.ws.rs.core.Application
    /rest/*

My RestApplication look like :

import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

public class RestApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public Set> getClasses() {
        Set> sets = new HashSet>();
        sets.add(RestService.class);
        return sets;
    }
}

My RestService looks like

@Path("/tada")
public class RestService {
    @GET
    public String getSomething() {
        return "tada";
    }
}

And I add in the pom.xml the dependency:

    javax.ws.rs
    javax.ws.rs-api
