This example demonstrates how to use JSON representation of JAXB based resources.
A simple web application is presented with two resources: a flight list and a aircraft type list. A client can obtain the former list or update it using XML or JSON representation. The second list is read-only and shows how to provide JSON array using List<JAXBBean> objects.
The flight list web resource is implemented by com.sun.jersey.samples.jsonfromjaxb.resources.FlightList class.
The aircraft type list web resource is implemented by com.sun.jersey.samples.jsonfromjaxb.resources.AircraftTypeList class.
The mapping of the URI path space is presented in the following table:
| URI path | Resource class | HTTP methods |
|---|---|---|
| /flights/ | FlightList | GET, PUT |
| /aircrafts/ | AircraftTypeList | GET |
Run the example as follows:
mvn clean compile exec:java
This deploys the JSON from JAXB example using Grizzly
A WADL description may be accessed at the URL:
http://localhost:9998/jsonfromjaxb/application.wadl
Following steps are using cURL command line tool:
Get the list of flights in JSON format:
curl -HAccept:application/json http://localhost:9998/jsonfromjaxb/flights
Get the list of flights in XML format:
curl -HAccept:application/xml http://localhost:9998/jsonfromjaxb/flights
Get the list of aircraft types in JSON format:
curl -HAccept:application/json http://localhost:9998/jsonfromjaxb/aircrafts
