Hi Frans,
Were you able to checkout the trunk of Struts 2.1 and build it?
If you got that far, then you have a copy of the full rest show-case in
the apps directory. Yes, there are surprisingly few settings as the
showcase uses the CodeBehind plugin so there's no struts.xml or other
essential configuration files.
As a quick run-down of the how the application works:
- the rest plugin is included via the pom.xml. All the other
dependencies except junit are transitive.
- web.xml enables the struts filter and init-params specify where the
actions can be found (and enables dev mode)
- There's one action, OrdersController, a mock service (OrdersService)
and a business object (Order). The REST actions are called Controllers
following the RubyOnRails conventions.
- The default index.jsp file will simple redirect to GET /orders
- When you GET /orders/, the index () method is executed in the
OrdersController action. It loads the list of orders and returns the
"index" result.
- CodeBehind maps the index result to orders-index.jsp and the html
result is rendered.
- If you GET /orders/1, the show() method is executed in the
OrdersController action. It loads the order with that id and returns
the "show" result. Again, the CodeBehind plugin maps this to
orders-show.jsp based on the convention.
- So on for post, new, delete, put etc operations - they call a method
and render a default result.
In addition:
- When you get /orders/1.json, the ContentTypeHandler will serialise
the model as JSON instead of executing a view result
- When you get /orders/1.xml, the ContentTypeHandler will serialise
the model as XML instead of executing a view result.
You can view both of these in the browser.
That's basically it. There's minimal configuration required because it's
a convention-based application.
I hope that helps. Build it and experiment!
regards,
Jeromy Evans
