Dear Fellow JAX-RS users!
I'm trying to use JAX-RS as an MVC router, (to replace the need for
Spring's @RequestMapping)
To do so, I would like to have my JAX-RX Application start at the root
context, so my URLs will be
http://example.com*/*restfullPath <
http://example.com/restfullPath>
and not:
http://example.com*/rest*/restfullPath<http://example.com/rest/restfullPath>
I switched my Application's annotation from this
@ApplicationPath("/rest/*")
to this
@ApplicationPath("/*")
All works well, but then it seems that it takes over serving files such as
/index.html or /index.jsp
Is there a way to run a JAX-RS on the root context but still have static /
JSP pages served?
Seems this was asked before <
https://community.jboss.org/thread/199069> on
the JBOSS forum, but the solution is not really practical
(I asked this originally here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10874188/jax-rs-application-on-the-root-context-how-can-it-be-done
but
the answer is too cumbersome and negates the benefit of using JAX-RS with
it's simplicity and elegant API)
The reason I'm asking is that this moved me back to Spring, which I rather
work without
In Spring @RequestMapping("/foo") works as well as
@RequestMapping("/foo/bar") and is absolute to the web app context, and can
serve JSP / HTML views without a problem.
In other words, I would expect to be able to map any request in JEE to any
resource, whether it's a JSON service, or a JSP view using the same easy to
use @Path annotation, can it be done?
Thanks,
Eran
