JBoss Fuse - Rest Web Services

To begin with, REST stands for Representational State Transfer. It is a way of developing web services based on state-less, cacheable, client-server protocol, which is HTTP in most cases.

REST web services use HTTP requests to post, get, delete data from network.

REST Development using CXF

Create a simple Maven quick-start project

mvn archetype:generate 
-DgroupId = com.tuts.abhinav 
-DartifactId = rest-service
-DarchetypeArtifactId = maven-archetype-quickstart 
-DinteractiveMode = false

Add dependencies

Create Service Class

Create class UserService.java under com/tuts/

package com.tuts;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/UserService_1")
public class UserService {
   @GET
   @Path("/get_data")
   @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
	
   public String getUser() {
      String reponse = "This is standard response from REST";
      return reponse;
   }
}

Create Blueprint.xml

Create blueprint.xml under/src/main/resources/OSGI-INF/blueprint blueprint.xml

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<blueprint xmlns = "http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0"
   xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xmlns:jaxrs = "http://cxf.apache.org/blueprint/jaxrs"
   xsi:schemaLocation = "http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0 
   http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0/blueprint.xsd
   http://cxf.apache.org/blueprint/jaxrs 
   http://cxf.apache.org/schemas/blueprint/jaxrs.xsd">
	
   <jaxrs:server id = "service" address = "/users">
      <jaxrs:serviceBeans>
         <ref component-id = "userService" />
      </jaxrs:serviceBeans>
   </jaxrs:server>
	
   <bean id = "userService" class = "com.tuts.UserService" />
</blueprint>

Install Rest service in Fuse

install -s mvn:com.tuts.abhinav/rest-service/1.0-SNAPSHOT

Check if Bundle has a Registered Web-Service

Open URL http://localhost:8181/cxf

Registered Web-Service

Test Web Service
