I have a question about setting up CXF to provide RESTful endpoints through
Guice.
Is this along the right path?
Should I be injecting all of my resources like this or should I set each one up
individually using a new JAXRSServerFactoryBean?
Inject all of my resources using a single JAXRSServerFactoryBean:
@Inject
@WebResource
private Map<String, Provider<Object>> resources;
@Override
protected void loadBus(ServletConfig sc)
{
super.loadBus(sc);
final JAXRSServerFactoryBean sf = new
JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
sf.setBus(getBus());
sf.setAddress("/");
sf.setProvider(new JacksonJsonProvider());
sf.setResourceProviders(…);
sf.create();
}
Inject each of my resources using a new JAXRSServerFactoryBean:
for (String key : resources.keySet())
{
try
{
LOG.debug("------------------ {}", key);
final Provider<?> bean = resources.get(key);
final JAXRSServerFactoryBean sf = new
JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
sf.setBus(getBus());
sf.setAddress(key);
sf.setProvider(new JacksonJsonProvider());
sf.setResourceProvider(new
SingletonResourceProvider(bean.get()));
sf.create();
}
catch (Exception x)
{
LOG.error("Cannot start endpoint: ",
x.getMessage());
}
}
It looks like when I do it this way it will iterate through all of the
resources for a match where as when I set up each endpoint individually it
matches that one only. The problem I had with setting each up individually was
that I could not get the “setAddress(“http://localhost:8080/
<http://localhost:8080/>“)” and the root resources @Path(“some-root”) to work
properly…i ended up with the path twice (because I set the address to
“/some-root”).
Also, what is the difference between returning a ResourceProvider vs.
setServiceBean?
