Java 中的 Restful WebServices 使用 Eclipse、Tomcat 和 Jersey

Question

How to create simple webserver in Java using Eclipse, Tomcat and Jersey ie steps to follow?

We are creating simple webserver using the below links:

• http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-aj-tomcat/
• http://www.vogella.de/articles/REST/article.html

but we got an error like this:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

Have maven running. Then run this command(press enter if it asks sth):

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.test.rest -DartifactId=test -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp

It will create you a simple webapp. Now create the source package as src/main/java/com/test/rest, and create a simple class as following with a name "test" in it:

 package com.test.rest;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/test")
public class test{

@GET
@Path("/{param}")
public Response getMsg(@PathParam("param") String msg) {

    String output = "Jersey say : " + msg;

    return Response.status(200).entity(output).build();

    }

}

At that point you should get errors, resolve them by adding this dependency to your pom:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
        <artifactId>jersey-server</artifactId>
        <version>1.8</version>
    </dependency>

you can run a dummy "mvn clean install" so that maven will download the repository and your errors will disappear.

Now, go to webapp/WEB-INF and configure your web.xml as follows:

<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>Restful Web Application</display-name>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
                 com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer
            </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
         <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
         <param-value>com.test.rest</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

here we said which classes to be loaded and also gave a small prefix with "/rest". so your webservice will start with this prefix.

Now you are ready, build the app, and add the jar file under tomcat/webapps folder. when you run your tomcat you can reach to your webservice via:

(url_to_tomcat_server/jar_name/prefix_at_web_xml/prefix_at_java_rest_class/dummy_text_requested_byclass)

localhost:8080/test/rest/test/blabla

Note: tested and running

Copy all your Jersey jars, including jersey-servlet-1.12.jar, in your lib folder. Look that you have included it in the build path.
