What to do when JAX-RS cannot find it’s Providers aka My message body writer is not used
Mar 24, 2015 | Michal Gajdoš
One of the reasons why I wrote this article is my, rather unusual, encounter with a missing message body writer in a Jersey 1 test application. This problem of mine occurred during collecting of data to get a Jersey 1 performance baseline in order to see where Jersey 2 stands when compared to its predecessor. The problem is described at […]
JAX-RS Providers on Client and on Server
Mar 17, 2015 | Michal Gajdoš
In this article I’d like to explain two things. First, what to do when you want to restrict JAX-RS providers to be used on, for example, client-side only. And second, what are the issues (and how to solve them) with injecting providers when you create and register instances of them directly. Constraining JAX-RS providers to particular runtime […]
Jersey 2.x Client on Android - Take 2
Mar 17, 2015 | Jakub Podlesak
In my earlier post i described what we did in Jersey version 2.16 in order to make Jersey client work on Android. The whole idea was that after separating JAXB providers out from the Jersey core module, things would just work out of the box. Unfortunately, it turned out the JAXB provider separation was not enough. Basic things worked […]

Another tiny step forward for Jersey JDK container

Java 8 default method and REST
Mar 11, 2015 | Adam Lindenthal
If you are following new Java features coming with each version, you certainly did not miss the default methods introduced with Java SE 8. This new language construct gives you the ability to define the default method implementation directly in the interface. If the (non-abstract) subclass does not create its own implementation, the default […]
Jersey CDI Integration – Few Notes and EAR Support
Mar 11, 2015 | Michal Gajdoš
During our last sprint I was porting support for CDI injections for EARs that contain multiple JAX-RS web applications (WARs). This worked fine in Jersey 1 and it works on WebLogic but we didn’t have support for these kind of deployments directly in Jersey (which means that Glassfish was affected as well) until this very moment. I’d like to […]

Jersey further improves CDI integration
Feb 25, 2015 | Adam Lindenthal

Micro-Benchmarking JAX-RS Applications
Feb 19, 2015 | Michal Gajdos
Sometimes you want to examine what impact would a new JAX-RS filter have on performance of your application. Whether your custom message body provider is as fast as you though or you simply want to find out the throughput of your JAX-RS resources or client instances. Recently we were looking into this area and we’ve created few utilities that may make your life easier if you want to write micro-benchmarks for JAX-RS applications. […]

Container Agnostic CDI Support In Jersey
Feb 13, 2015 | Jakub Podlešák
At the time of this writing, Java SE support is being discussed as one of important additions to CDI 2.0 specification. Existing CDI implementations brought this feature already, only container bootstrapping has not yet been standardized. In Jersey version 2.15 we introduced Weld SE support, so that people could take advantage of CDI features also when running in Java SE environment. […]

Intercepting Jersey resource method calls
Jan 21, 2015 | Michal Gajdos
Sometimes it would be nice to have a possibility to wrap a resource method call.

JSON in Query Params or How to Inject Custom Java Types via JAX-RS Parameter Annotations
Feb 11, 2014 | Michal Gajdos
Although I am not a big fan of sending JSON in other places than in the message body as the entity, for example in query parameter in case of requests, it’s not a rare use-case and the way how it can be solved in JAX-RS 2.0 gives me a nice opportunity to illustrate usage of two new interfaces, ParamConverterProvider and ParamConverter […]
Filtering JAX-RS Entities with Standard Security Annotations
Feb 04, 2014 | Michal Gajdos
Few times I’ve ran into a situation in which I wanted to return only a part of entity I was working with, in my service, to the client-side. Feature that would allow me to send this partial set of fields should not only be driven by my own filtering rules but it also should take into consideration application roles the current user is in […]

Binding JAX-RS Providers to Resource Methods
Jan 08, 2014 | Michal Gajdos
When you register providers (such as filters and interceptors) in your application they’re associated and applied to each resource method by default. In other words they’re bound globally. For most cases this approach is sufficient but sometimes, especially when you want to use your provider only with a few methods, it’s not enough. JAX-RS 2.0 […]
