A.2. Server configuration properties

List of server configuration properties that can be found in ServerProperties class.

Table A.2. List of server configuration properties

ConstantValueDescription
ServerProperties.APPLICATION_NAMEjersey.config.server.application.name

Defines the application name. The name is an arbitrary user defined name which is used to distinguish between Jersey applications in the case that more applications are deployed on the same runtime (container). The name can be used for example for purposes of monitoring by JMX when name identifies to which application deployed MBeans belong to. The name should be unique in the runtime. The property does not have a default value.

ServerProperties.BV_FEATURE_DISABLEjersey.config.beanValidation.disable.server

Disables Bean Validation support. Default value is false.

ServerProperties .BV_DISABLE_VALIDATE_ON_EXECUTABLE_OVERRIDE_CHECKjersey.config.beanValidation .disable.validateOnExecutableCheck.server

Disables @ValidateOnExecution check. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.BV_SEND_ERROR_IN_RESPONSEjersey.config.beanValidation .enableOutputValidationErrorEntity.server

Enables sending validation error information to the client. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.FEATURE_AUTO_DISCOVERY_DISABLEjersey.config.server.disableAutoDiscovery

Disables feature auto discovery on server. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDEjersey.config.server.httpMethodOverride

Defines configuration of HTTP method overriding. This property is used by HttpMethodOverrideFilter to determine where it should look for method override information (e.g. request header or query parameters).

ServerProperties.JSON_PROCESSING_FEATURE_DISABLEjersey.config.server.disableJsonProcessing

Disables configuration of Json Processing (JSR-353) feature. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.LANGUAGE_MAPPINGSjersey.config.server.languageMappings

Defines mapping of URI extensions to languages. The property is used by UriConnegFilter.

ServerProperties.MEDIA_TYPE_MAPPINGSjersey.config.server.mediaTypeMappings

Defines mapping of URI extensions to media types. The property is used by UriConnegFilter.

ServerProperties.METAINF_SERVICES_LOOKUP_DISABLEjersey.config.server.disableMetainfServicesLookup

Disables META-INF/services lookup on server. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.MOXY_JSON_FEATURE_DISABLEjersey.config.server.disableMoxyJson

Disables configuration of MOXy Json feature. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.MONITORING_ENABLED (Jersey 2.12 or later)jersey.config.server .monitoring.statistics.enabled

If true, then application monitoring will be enabled. This will enable the possibility of injecting ApplicationInfo into resource and providers. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.MONITORING_STATISTICS_ENABLEDjersey.config.server .monitoring.enabled

If true, the calculation of monitoring statistics will be enabled. This will enable the possibility of injecting MonitoringStatistics into resource and providers and also the registered listeners implementing MonitoringStatisticsListener will be called when statistics are available for processing. Monitoring statistics extends basic monitoring feature. Therefore when enabled, the monitoring gets automatically enabled too (the same result as setting the property ServerProperties.MONITORING_ENABLED to true). Note that enabling statistics may have a negative performance impact and therefore should be enabled only when needed. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.MONITORING_STATISTICS_MBEANS_ENABLEDjersey.config.server .monitoring.statistics.mbeans.enabled

If true then Jersey will expose MBeans for the collected monitoring statistics. Exposed JMX MBeans are based on MonitoringStatistics data and therefore when enabled, the calculation of monitoring statistics gets automatically enabled too (the same result as setting the property ServerProperties.MONITORING_STATISTICS_ENABLED to true). Note that enabling MBeans for monitoring statistics may have a negative performance impact and therefore should be enabled only when needed. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.MONITORING_STATISTICS_REFRESH_INTERVAL (Jersey 2.10 or later)jersey.config.server .monitoring.statistics.refresh.interval

Interval (in ms}) indicating how often will be monitoring statistics refreshed (onStatistics method called). Default value is 500.

ServerProperties.OUTBOUND_CONTENT_LENGTH_BUFFER (Jersey 2.2 or later)jersey.config.contentLength.server.buffer

An integer value that defines the buffer size used to buffer the outbound message entity in order to determine its size and set the value of HTTP Content-Length header. Default value is 8192.

ServerProperties.PROVIDER_CLASSNAMESjersey.config.server.provider.classnames

Defines one or more class names that implement application-specific resources and providers. If the property is set, the specified classes will be instantiated and registered as either application JAX-RS root resources or providers.

ServerProperties.PROVIDER_CLASSPATHjersey.config.server.provider.classpath

Defines class-path that contains application-specific resources and providers. If the property is set, the specified packages will be scanned for JAX-RS root resources and providers.

ServerProperties.PROVIDER_PACKAGESjersey.config.server.provider.packages

Defines one or more packages that contain application-specific resources and providers. If the property is set, the specified packages will be scanned for JAX-RS root resources and providers.

ServerProperties.PROVIDER_SCANNING_RECURSIVEjersey.config.server .provider.scanning.recursive

Sets the recursion strategy for package scanning. Default value is true.

ServerProperties.REDUCE_CONTEXT_PATH_SLASHES_ENABLEDjersey.config.server.reduceContextPathSlashes.enabled

Disables Resource validation. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.RESOURCE_VALIDATION_IGNORE_ERRORSjersey.config.server .resource.validation.ignoreErrors

Determines whether validation of application resource models should fail even in case of a fatal validation errors. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.WADL_FEATURE_DISABLEjersey.config.server.wadl.disableWadl

Disables WADL generation. Default value is false.

ServerProperties.WADL_GENERATOR_CONFIGjersey.config.server.wadl.generatorConfig

Defines the wadl generator configuration that provides a WadlGenerator.

ServerProperties.RESPONSE_SET_STATUS_OVER_SEND_ERRORjersey.config.server.response.setStatusOverSendError

Whenever response status is 4xx or 5xx it is possible to choose between sendError or setStatus on container specific Response implementation. E.g. on servlet container Jersey can call HttpServletResponse.setStatus(...) or HttpServletResponse.sendError(...). Calling sendError(...) method usually resets entity, response headers and provide error page for specified status code (e.g. servlet error-page configuration). However if you want to post-process response (e.g. by servlet filter) the only way to do it is calling setStatus(...) on container Response object. If property value is true the method Response.setStatus(...) is used over default Response.sendError(...). Type of the property value is boolean. The default value is false.

ServerProperties.TRACINGjersey.config.server.tracing.type

Enables/disables tracing support. Possible values are OFF (default), ON_DEMAND and ALL. See Section 22.2.1, “Configuration options” for more detail.

ServerProperties.TRACING_THRESHOLDjersey.config.server.tracing.threshold

Sets the amount of detail provided by tracing. Possible values are SUMMARY, TRACE and VERBOSE. See Section 22.2.1, “Configuration options” to learn more about the levels.

ServerProperties.PROCESSING_RESPONSE_ERRORS_ENABLEDjersey.config.server.exception.processResponseErrors

If property value is true then the errors raised during response processing are tried to be handled using available response error mappers.

ServerProperties.SUBRESOURCE_LOCATOR_CACHE_SIZEjersey.config.server.subresource.cache.size

An integer value that defines the size of cache for sub-resource locator models. The cache is used to provide better performance for application that uses JAX-RS sub-resource locators.

ServerProperties.SUBRESOURCE_LOCATOR_CACHE_SIZEjersey.config.server.subresource.cache.size

An integer value that defines the maximum age (in seconds) for cached for sub-resource locator models. The age of an cache entry is defined as the time since the last access (read) to the entry in the cache. Entry aging is not enabled by default.

ServerProperties.SUBRESOURCE_LOCATOR_CACHE_JERSEY_RESOURCE_ENABLEDjersey.config.server.subresource.cache.jersey.resource.enabled

If true then Jersey will cache Jersey resources in addition to caching sub-resource locator classes and instances (which are cached by default). To make sure the caching is effective in this case you need to return same Jersey Resource instances for same input parameters from resource method. This means that generating new Jersey Resource instances for same input parameters would not have any performance effect and it would only fill-up the cache.

ServerProperties.LOCATION_HEADER_RELATIVE_URI_RESOLUTION_DISABLEDjersey.config.server.headers.location.relative.resolution.disabled

If true, Jersey will not resolve relative URIs in the Location http header.

LoggingFeature.LOGGING_FEATURE_LOGGER_NAME_SERVER jersey.config.server.logging.logger.name Logger name of the logging filter. See logging chapter for more information. The default value is org.glassfish.jersey.logging.LoggingFeature
LoggingFeature.LOGGING_FEATURE_LOGGER_LEVEL_SERVER jersey.config.server.logging.logger.level Level of logging filter's logger at which the messages will be logged. See logging chapter for more information.
LoggingFeature.LOGGING_FEATURE_VERBOSITY_SERVER jersey.config.server.logging.verbosity Verbosity of logging filter describes how verbose the logging filter will be. There are 3 possible values LoggingFeature.Verbosity.HEADERS_ONLY, LoggingFeature.Verbosity.PAYLOAD_TEXT or LoggingFeature.Verbosity.PAYLOAD_ANY. See logging chapter for more information.
