Jersey 2.x web service using JAXB + JSON example

In the previous article, we learnt and implemented an example on how to use JAX-RS Restful web service to send & receive XML data as request/response. Here, we will re-use and modify the same example to send & receive JSON data as web service request/response

Jersey is the most popular amongst Restful web service development. Latest Jersey 2.x version has been developed by Oracle/Glassfish team in accordance with JAX-RS 2.0 specification. Earlier Jersey 1.x version was developed and supported by Oracle/Sun team

Latest Jersey release version is 2.12 see here and look documentation and API for details. We will implement Jersey examples in the following articles based on latest 2.x version

JAX-RS specification supports the conversion of Java objects to JSON & vice-versa using Jackson library

Still we need Java objects to send/receive data in JSON format so start designing your XML Schema Definition (XSD), as we can use JAXB Maven plugin to generate Java classes. Later this generated POJO used to exchange JSON data on the fly with the help of Jackson library

Mavenize or download required jars

Add Jersey-2.12 dependencies to pom.xml

Note: Jackson – high performance parser is included as dependencies for JSON support

Folks who aren’t familiar with Maven concepts or don’t require maven for their project, can download the below jars individually from the central repository or maven repository and include them in the classpath

JAXB – Generating java source files from XSD

Steps to generate java-sources from XML Schema Definition (XSD)

configure JAXB Maven plugin in pom.xml
write well-defined XSD for your service
use maven command “mvn generate-sources” to generate java source files

Configure JAXB Maven plugin

<!-- JAXB plugin to generate-sources from XSD -->
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>

Book.xsd

Below XSD contains two elements with name “BookType” and “BookListType”

BookType contains four attributes namely bookId, bookName, author, category
BookListType which returns list of BookType

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    targetNamespace="http://benchresources.in/cdm/Book" xmlns:tns="http://benchresources.in/cdm/Book"

Directory Structure

Before moving on, let us understand the directory/package structure once you create project in Eclipse IDE

Maven has to follow certain directory structure

src/test/java –> test related files, mostly JUnit test cases
src/main/java –> create java source files under this folder
src/main/resources –> all configuration files placed here
src/test/resources –> all test related configuration files placed here
Maven Dependencies or Referenced Libraries –> includes jars in the classpath
WEB-INF under webapp –> stores web.xml & other configuration files related to web application

Project Structure (Package Explorer view in Eclipse)

Jars Libraries Used in the Project (Maven Dependencies)

Web application

For any web application, entry point is web.xml which describes how the incoming http requests are served / processed. Further, it describes about the global-context and local-context param (i.e.; <context-param> & <init-param>) for loading files particular to project requirements & contains respective listener

With this introduction, we will understand how we configured web.xml for Jersey JAX-RS Restful web service

web.xml (the entry point –> under WEB-INF)

This web.xml file describes,

Like any JEE web framework register “org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer” with servlet container
http requests with URL pattern “/rest/*” will be sent to the registered servlet called “jersey-servlet” i.e.; (org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer)
Set <init-param> with <param-name> as “jersey.config.server.provider.packages” and <param-value> describing the qualified package name of the JAX-RS annotated Resource/Provider classes. In this example, “com.jersey.series.json.service”
<welcome-file-list> files under this tag is the start-up page

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
 
    <display-name>Jersey-JSON-IO</display-name>
 
    <!-- Jersey Servlet -->
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>jersey-servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
        <!-- Register resources and providers -->
        <init-param>
            <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
            <param-value>com.jersey.series.json.service</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
 
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>jersey-servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
 
    <!-- welcome file -->
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
 
</web-app>

Let’s see coding in action

URL Pattern

Http url for any common web application is http://<server>:<port>/<root-context>/<from_here_application_specific_path>

In our example, we are going to deploy the war into Tomcat 8.0 server so our server and port are localhost and 8080 respectively. Context root is the project name i.e.; Jersey-JSON-IO. Initial path for this application is http://localhost:8080/Jersey-JSON-IO

We have configured “/rest/*” as url-pattern for the “jersey-servlet” servlet in web.xml and at class-level path configured is “/bookservice” using @Path annotation. Next respective path for each method annotated with @Path (method-level)

Book Service interface

Defines basic CRUD operations for Book Service

NOTE: It’s always a good programming practice to do code-to-interface and have its implementation separately

IBookService.java

package com.jersey.series.json.service;
 
import in.benchresources.cdm.book.BookListType;
import in.benchresources.cdm.book.BookType;
 
public interface IBookService {
 
    // Basic CRUD operations for Book Service
 
    public String createOrSaveBookInfo(BookType bookType);
    public BookType getBookInfo(int bookId);
    public String updateBookInfo(BookType bookType);
    public String deleteBookInfo(int bookId);
    public BookListType getAllBookInfo();
}

Book Service implementation

Implements above interface

Defines simple CURD operations

@POST – create/inserts a new resource (adds new book information)
@GET – read/selects internal resource representation based on the bookId
@PUT – update/modifies an internal resource representation (modify book)
@DELETE – delete/removes a resource (delete book)
@GET – retrieves all books (get all books information)

Let’s discuss @Produces, @Consumes and MediaType

@Consumes
Defines which MIME type is consumed by this method. For this example, exposed methods are restricted to consume only JSON data and it is annotated with @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

@Produces
Defines which MIME type it will produce. For this example, exposed methods are restricted to produce only JSON data and it is annotated with @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

Most widely used Media Types are

APPLICATION_XML,
APPLICATION_JSON,
TEXT_PLAIN,
TEXT_XML,
APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED,
etc

Note: Jersey doesn’t inherit JAX-RS annotations. So we are annotating Resource/Provider classes and then defining qualified package name in web.xml

    }
}

Tomcat-8.0.12 Deployment

Run maven command to build the war: mvn clean install (use command prompt or integrated maven in eclipse IDE
Copy(ctrl+c) the war file from the target folder
Paste(ctrl+v) it into apache tomcat (webapps folder)
Start the tomcat server

Glassfish-4.1 Deployment

Run maven command to build the war: mvn clean install (use command prompt or integrated maven in eclipse IDE
Once you see “BUILD SUCCESS” after running maven command, keep the war file ready to be deployed
There are two ways to deploy war file into Glassfish-4.1
1. Online
2. Offline
Click here to understand above deployments process in detail

Test the service !!

Testing

There are many ways to do testing

Access html page from web browser
Copy the URL of GET service into web browser
Advanced REST client from Google Chrome
