Re: [jetty-users] RESTful web services with Jetty

[Thomas Becker <tbecker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeremy,

we've used the combination of jersey + jetty for a jmx webservice we have in our Jetty Hightide distribution. You can have a look at the sources and how we use jersey to offer a RESTful API to access all server information offered by JMX here: http://git.codehaus.org/gitweb.cgi?p=jetty-project.git;a=tree;f=jetty-jmx-ws;hb=HEAD

Cheers,
Thomas

Hello list,

 

I’m looking for guidance on the best approach for implementing a RESTful webservice with Jetty.  I should start by saying that I’m a veteran .NET developer, but Jetty and server-side Java development are completely new to me.  I’ve selected Jetty to provide a web API for a new server project as I needed an efficient embedded webserver with excellent support for the emerging Websocket standard. 

 

In addition to Websocket support, the web API exposed by my server needs to be RESTful.  In looking around, I can find a few older examples of REST frameworks such as Jersey or RESTlet with Jetty, but these are few and in general there seems to be little discussion of RESTful web services with Jetty.  I’ve been leaning towards Jersey, but the relative lack of examples makes me wonder if I should be considering something else.

Any insights would be most welcome.  (I also wouldn’t turn down any example code, as I’m still seeing some errors with the samples I’ve found using older versions of Jersey and Jetty).

 

Thanks!

Jeremy
