RESTful Hello World Demo ======================== The demo shows REST based Web Services using the JAX-WS Provider/Dispatch. The REST server provides the following services: A RESTful customer service is provided on URL http://localhost:9000/customerservice/customer. Users access this URI to query or update customer info. A HTTP GET request to URL http://localhost:9000/customerservice/customer returns a list of customer hyperlinks. This allows client navigates through the application states. The XML document returned: 1234 1235 1236 A HTTP GET request to URL http://localhost:9000/customerservice/customer?id=1234 returns a customer instance whose id is 1234. The XML document returned: 1234 John 123456 A HTTP POST request to URL http://localhost:9000/customerservice/customer with the data: 1234 John 123456 updates customer 1234 with the data provided. The XML document returned: John 123456 The client code demonstrates how to send HTTP POST with XML data using JAX-WS Dispatch and how to send HTTP GET using URL.openStream(). The server code demonstrates how to build a RESTful endpoints through JAX-WS Provider interface. Please review the README in the samples directory before continuing. Prerequisites ------------ If your environment already includes cxf-manifest.jar on the CLASSPATH, and the JDK and ant bin directories on the PATH it is not necessary to set the environment as described in the samples directory README. If your environment is not properly configured, or if you are planning on using wsdl2java, javac, and java to build and run the demos, you must set the environment. Building and running the demo using Ant --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the Ant build.xml file can be used to build and run the demo. The server and client targets automatically build the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: ant server (from one command line window) ant client (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "ant clean". Building and running the demo using maven --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the maven pom.xml file can be used to build and run the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn install mvn -Pserver (from one command line window) mvn -Pclient (from a second command line window) To remove the target dir, run mvn clean". Building the demo using wsdl2java and javac ------------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), first create the target directory build/classes and then compile the provided client and server applications with the commands: For UNIX: mkdir -p build/classes export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CXF_HOME/lib/cxf-manifest.jar:./build/classes javac -d build/classes src/demo/restful/client/*.java javac -d build/classes src/demo/restful/server/*.java For Windows: mkdir build\classes Must use back slashes. set classpath=%classpath%;%CXF_HOME%\lib\cxf-manifest.jar;.\build\classes javac -d build\classes src\demo\restful\client\*.java javac -d build\classes src\demo\restful\server\*.java Finally, copy resource files into the build/classes directory with the commands: For UNIX: cp ./src/demo/restful/client/*.xml ./build/classes/demo/restful/client cp ./src/demo/restful/server/*.xml ./build/classes/demo/restful/server For Windows: copy src\demo\restful\client\*.xml build\classes\demo\restful\client copy src\demo\restful\server\*.xml build\classes\demo\restful\server Running the demo using java --------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located) run the commands, entered on a single command line: For UNIX (must use forward slashes): java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.restful.server.Server & java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.restful.client.Client The server process starts in the background. After running the client, use the kill command to terminate the server process. For Windows (may use either forward or back slashes): start java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.restful.server.Server java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.restful.client.Client A new command windows opens for the server process. After running the client, terminate the server process by issuing Ctrl-C in its command window. To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, either delete the build directory and its contents or run: ant clean
