RESTful HTTP Binding Demo ========================= This demo shows how to create RESTful services using CXF's HTTP binding. The server in the demo creates 3 different endpoints: a RESTful XML endpoint, a RESTful JSON endpoint, and a SOAP endpoint. 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. Build the demo: mvn install The demo has a class called demo.restful.server.Server which starts up various endpoints. To start this server run the command: Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn -Pserver (from one command line window) The demo also includes a Client class which accesses data using HTTP. To run this client, do: Using either UNIX or Windows: mvn -Pclient (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "mvn clean". --------------------------------------- Once it is running try going to the following URLs: http://localhost:8080/xml/customers http://localhost:8080/json/customers http://localhost:8080/xml/customers/123 http://localhost:8080/json/customers/123 These will serve out XML and JSON representation of the resources. There is an HTML page that is served by CXF so you can try using the JSON service via Javascript. Just go to: http://localhost:8080/test.html Included are some example JSON and XML files so you can add or update customers using wget. Try the following commands and look at the results: wget --post-file add.json http://localhost:8080/json/customers wget --post-file add.xml http://localhost:8080/xml/customers wget --post-file update.xml http://localhost:8080/xml/customers/123 And if you are interested in SOAP you can try the SOAP endpoint: http://localhost:8080/soap?wsdl
