Question

I have developed a Jersey Resource class.

Can someone please tell me how can I deploy it on a Web App server. Preferably Tomcat or JBoss.

Or a better question still, can Jersey applications with only a resource class be deployed on a Web App server? If yes, How?

Answer 1

by using web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey-servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
        <param-value>com.foo.resources;org.bar.resources</param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>

or in Java (without a servlet container):

public class MyConfig extends PackagesResourceConfig {

   public MyApplication() {
      super("com.foo.resources;org.bar.resources");
   }
}

or subclassing Application:

public class MyApplicaton extends Application {

    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> s = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
        s.add(com.foo.resources.MyResource.class);
        return s;
    }
}
