Resteasy has a few different plugins for different embedabble HTTP and/or Servlet containers if use Resteasy in a test environment, or within an environment where you do not want a Servlet engine dependency.
The Sun JDK comes with a simple HTTP server implementation (com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer) which you can run Resteasy on top of.
HttpServer httpServer = HttpServer.create(new InetSocketAddress(port), 10); contextBuilder = new HttpContextBuilder(); contextBuilder.getDeployment().getActualResourceClasses().add(SimpleResource.class); HttpContext context = contextBuilder.bind(httpServer); context.getAttributes().put("some.config.info", "42"); httpServer.start(); contextBuilder.cleanup(); httpServer.stop(0);
Create your HttpServer the way you want then use the org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.sun.http.HttpContextBuilder to initialize Resteasy and bind it to an HttpContext. The HttpContext attributes are available by injecting in a org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyConfiguration interface using @Context within your provider and resource classes.
Maven project you must include is:
<dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId> <artifactId>resteasy-jdk-http</artifactId> <version>2.3.7.Final</version> </dependency>
RESTeasy integrates with the TJWS Embeddable Servlet container. It comes with this distribution, or you can reference the Maven artifact. You must also provide a servlet API dependency as well.
<dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId> <artifactId>tjws</artifactId> <version>2.3.7.Final</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId> <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId> <version>2.5</version> </dependency>
From the distribution, move the jars in resteasy-jaxrs.war/WEB-INF/lib into your classpath. You must both programmatically register your JAX-RS beans using the embedded server's Registry. Here's an example:
@Path("/") public class MyResource { @GET public String get() { return "hello world"; } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { TJWSEmbeddedJaxrsServer tjws = new TJWSEmbeddedJaxrsServer(); tjws.setPort(8080); tjws.start(); tjws.getRegistry().addPerRequestResource(RestEasy485Resource.class); } }
The server can either host non-encrypted or SSL based resources, but not both. See the Javadoc for TJWSEmbeddedJaxrsServer as well as its superclass TJWSServletServer. The TJWS website is also a good place for information.
If you want to use Spring, see the SpringBeanProcessor. Here's a pseudo-code example
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { final TJWSEmbeddedJaxrsServer tjws = new TJWSEmbeddedJaxrsServer(); tjws.setPort(8081); tjws.start(); org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.SpringBeanProcessor processor = new SpringBeanProcessor(tjws.getDeployment().getRegistry(), tjws.getDeployment().getFactory(); ConfigurableBeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(...); factory.addBeanPostProcessor(processor); }
Resteasy has integration with the popular Netty project as well..
public static void start(ResteasyDeployment deployment) throws Exception { netty = new NettyJaxrsServer(); netty.setDeployment(deployment); netty.setPort(TestPortProvider.getPort()); netty.setRootResourcePath(""); netty.setSecurityDomain(null); netty.start(); }
Maven project you must include is:
<dependency> <groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId> <artifactId>resteasy-netty</artifactId> <version>2.3.7.Final</version> </dependency>
