Hi,
It is quite similar as implementation.ejb/binding.ejb. In such cases, the
framework is a combination of business logic and communication protocol.
Maybe we can deal with JAX-RS as follows:
1) Create an implementation type for JAX-RS applications.
2) We'll build a component type with services that are configured with
binding.http to represent the resources exposed by the JAX-RS application.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi All,
I was reading through last year’s email threads on implementing JAX-RS
support. It looks like a developer from a customer company had gone down
their own implementation route of supporting bolt-ing on Jersey and
putting
an interceptor in place to refer REST interface requests to Jersey’s
servlet
as a handler. Has anyone made any headway on implementing a REST binding
following JAX-RS? This would be extremely valuable and the rest of the
Web
2.0 space. We’re looking to head into this direction and want to
leverage
anything that’s out there already, thanks!

Nothing has been done in Tuscany yet for JAX-RS integration yet. One
reason for that is its quite hard to see how to map from JAX-RS to an
SCA binding or implementation type that would work in a protocol
neutral way, eg a binding.jaxrs that would work with any SCA
implementation or a implementation.jaxrs that would work with any SCA
binding.
An alternative approach to a new binding or implementation type could
be to give JAX-RS resources support for using SCA annotations. That
seems like it would be more straight forward than a JAX-RS binding or
implementation type and its a similar approach to whats in the SCA JEE
spec. There's an example of what that could look like is at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tuscany/collaboration/wink-helloworld-sca
which is the Apache Wink helloworld example updated to use an SCA
reference in the HelloWorld resource. That sample doesn't actually
work yet as Wink didn't have a hook point for the resource creation
that Tuscany could use, they did say though that they could quite
easily add one. Would this approach be of any use for you?
