Hi,
I want to add HATEOAS to send the links to the resources back in the
response of the Rest web service.
The current implementation is using CXF.
When I searched over net, I did not find any implementation of HATEOAS
when using CXF.
Any help is appreciated.
Typically I'd recommend working with JAX-RS UriInfo and UriBuilder for
building a response with the links. JAX-RS 2.0 introduces Link and JAXB
link adapter, Bill Burke reported there was a minor Link serialization
issue though in 2.0 to be fixed in 2.1, so I guess UriInfo and
UriBuilder are the actual tools to be used.
You can use Link headers in JAX-RS 2.0.
I know Jersey and I believe RestEasy did some work for supporting the
declarative HATEOS (by having the data modified), but I'm not too keen
to be honest, adding the links to the data models which have not been
designed to support the extra link attributes or values may not be the
best idea, I'd rather offer HTTP-centric data wrappers if needed...
What are your requirements ?
