Hi Richard,
In my app I use javax.ws.rs.core.Application, and with that I can pass
in init params from web.xml as described in the following SO answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19596592/jersey-2-how-to-pass-paramet
ers-from-web-xml-to-application/19601197#19601197
I hope that helps you with the second issue, I don't think it will help
with the first.
Regards,
Dies Koper

Subject: [Jersey] Simple application configuration
Hi all - I've been stuck for the longest time trying to figure out how
to
configure a Jersey application with a simple String parameter. Take for
example this extremely simple resource, where I need to initialize the
variable "configvalue":
@Provider
@Path("/thing")
public class ThingResource extends ResourceConfig {
String configvalue = null;
@GET
@Produces( MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String getThing(@QueryParam String param) {
....
return str;
}
}
1) When running this using the Jersey standalone Grizzly Server, how do
I
pass in a parameter to initialize configvalue? I got this far, but I
don't
know how to read the parameter from within ThingResource:
public static HttpServer startServer() {
// create a resource config that scans for JAX-RS resources and
providers in com.drf.security.entitlements package
final ResourceConfig rc = new
ResourceConfig().packages("com.idfconnect.security");
rc.property("configvalue", "somevale");
// create and start a new instance of grizzly http server
exposing
the Jersey application at BASE_URI
return
GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(URI.create(baseUri), rc);
}
2) Similarly, when deploying this with Jersey on a Servlet 3.0 container
(Tomcat), how can I initialize ThingResource with context parameters
from
the web.xml?
Thanks for any help!
