I was finally able to get my jersey rest end point to work inside an app
that was launched via JNLP / java webstart. It was painful because i had
to do the following...
* Replace spring based bean config with hard-coded bean creation
* Replace org.glassfish.grizzly.servlet.ServletHandler based Grizzly
HttpServer creation with ResourceConfig based Grizzly HttpServer
creation
* Replace code in root resources that used
HttpServletRequest/HttpServletResponse Context params
* Upgrade from default Grizzly version for jersey 1.10 to grizzly
2.1.10 to get fix for
http://java.net/jira/browse/GRIZZLY-1208
(thank Oleksiy Stashok for the quick fix!)
* Replace package scaning for root resources and provider classes by
extending DefaultResourceConfig and defining a getSingleton()
override method to explicitly declared root resources and provider
classes
All this was necessary because package scanning for root resources and
provider classes do not seem to work inside java webstart for reasons I
do not understand.
I have created
http://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-999 to see if the root
issue could be addressed. Thanks to Glen Mazza and Oleksiy Stashok for
their kind help.
