Is there a way to control the output format from the client side? I have a class which @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML) and I want it to produce json when the client requests. I can copy the class verbatim, replacing only the @Path and @Produces annotations, but this looks like a total waste. I wonder if the client could append something like &content-type=application/json to the URL and have my server respond with json instead of html? You'll need to annotate the resources as providing both HTML and JSON: @Produces({MediaType.TEXT_HTML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON}) Then just make sure you have

I am using DropWizard and Freemarker to build up a view which displays different types of forms based on results from a webservice. I have created the forms as views - each with their own ftl. So, in my resource, I discover which form I need, then load the main.ftl, passing the form view as a parameter (see below). This doesn't work. Can anyone see where we're going wrong? Or is there a completely different way to chain views together using DropWizard and freemarker? @GET public Form getForm() { FormView view = new FormView(service.getForm()); return new MainView(view); } public class FormView

I'm reading through Derby documentation and following all the instructions. I've successfully installed it (extracted it to my Linux machine and set the DERBY_HOME path). I have a complete REST API project with Angular 7 front-end and Dropwizard backend. I hard coded some data in the backend, and created all the HTTP API methods I need (GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE). The application is fully functional, but now I need to implement the Embedded version of Derby into it. I have 0 experience with such databases, and because Dropwizard gave me enough trouble already, I cannot figure out how to get

I have resource class which itself's talks with a internal service. This resource acts a rest API for the service. The service layer can throw unexpected exceptions, thus the resource should handle those handled unexpected exceptions and log it. I am using dropwizard framework which in turns use jersey. It goes like this. @PATH(/user) @GET public Response getUser(@QueryParam("id") String userId) { assertNotNull(userId); try { User user = service.getUser(userId); return Response.ok(user).build(); } catch (MyOwnException moe) { //basically 400's return Response.status(400).entity(moe.getMsg())

I am trying to use @JsonView annotation for my nested entities. To be more clear, assume that, we have 2 entities, each entity have its own view class. public class JsonViewAddress { //some view classes } public class Address { //fields annotated by JsonViewAddress's classes and @JsonProperty } public class JsonViewPerson { //some view classes } public class Person { //some fields (yes annotated with JsonViewPerson classes and @JsonProperty) //also assume that this is annotated with any JsonViewPerson's class. private Address address; } Let's try to achieve this Person class with Json type
