In my last post i have given a brief introduction to JAX-RS. Before look into this further It would be great if we do a hands on session to understand the usage and development procedure.
For the change, I will start with “Hello JAX-RS” instant of “Hello World”!!!!
In order to do this i am using maven as a builder, Tomcat Server as application server and Idea intellij as IDE. Most importantly I am using jersey 1.17.1 as the JAX-RS implementation.
First of all we have to create a web application project. This task can be achieved by maven.
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.area51.rest -DartifactId=RESTfulExample -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
After project created by maven, the folder structure looks like. If you see carefully "java" folder is not there in the folder structure.

I have share the complete project here
Given pom.xml I have added the dependency for jersy and set the source as java 1.6.
HelloJaxRsService.java is the implementation for "Hello JAX - RS"demonstration.
If you carefully study into the code that i have given, you can understand that "@Path("/hello")" annotation indicate the context of the class "HelloJaxRsService.java". "@GET" indicate the methods classify the methods as GET request method (HTTP vocabulary of request operation). @Path("world/{param}") annotation is a resource in the "hello" context with the parameter.
Okay, Lets up and run this code.
First of all! compile the code using maven!, get the "war" file! and configure the apache tomacat server with it.
In this example, web request from “projectURL/rest/hello/” will match to “HelloJaxRsService“, via @Path("/hello").
http://localhost:9000/RESTfulExample/rest/hello/world/human request hits the hello context and world resource.
