= Simple REST

Defining a REST service is pretty easy, simply ad ``@Path`` annotation to a class then define on methods the HTTP method to use (``@GET``, ``@POST``, …).

= The Code

== The REST service: ``@Path``, ``@GET``, ``@POST``

Here we have a simple REST, we annotate the class with ``@Path("/greeting")`` to indicate the route corresponding to class ``GreetingService``. So we define ``message()`` as ``@GET`` and ``lowerCase()`` as ``@POST`` for this ``/greeting`` route. There we have a service, pretty simple huh?

....
package org.superbiz.rest;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

@Path("/greeting")
public class GreetingService {
    @GET
    public String message() {
        return "Hi REST!";
    }

    @POST
    public String lowerCase(final String message) {
        return "Hi REST!".toLowerCase();
    }
}
....

== Testing

=== Test for the JAXRS service

The test uses the OpenEJB ApplicationComposer to make it trivial.

The idea is first to activate the ``jaxrs`` services. This is done using ``@EnableServices`` annotation.

Then we create on the fly the application simply returning an object representing the ``web.xml``. Here we simply use it to define the context root but you can use it to define your REST Application too. And to complete the application definition we add ``@Classes`` annotation to define the set of classes to use in this app.

Finally to test it we use cxf client API to call the REST service in ``get()`` and ``post()`` methods.

....
package org.superbiz.rest;

import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.WebClient;
import org.apache.openejb.jee.SingletonBean;
import org.apache.openejb.junit.ApplicationComposer;
import org.apache.openejb.testing.EnableServices;
import org.apache.openejb.testing.Module;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

import java.io.IOException;

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

@EnableServices(value = "jaxrs")
@RunWith(ApplicationComposer.class)
public class GreetingServiceTest {
    @Module
    public SingletonBean app() {
        return (SingletonBean) new SingletonBean(GreetingService.class).localBean();
    }

    @Test
    public void get() throws IOException {
        final String message = WebClient.create("http://localhost:4204").path("/GreetingServiceTest/greeting/").get(String.class);
        assertEquals("Hi REST!", message);
    }

    @Test
    public void post() throws IOException {
        final String message = WebClient.create("http://localhost:4204").path("/GreetingServiceTest/greeting/").post("Hi REST!", String.class);
        assertEquals("hi rest!", message);
    }
}
....

= Running

Running the example is fairly simple. In the ``simple-rest`` directory run:

....
$ mvn clean install
....

Which should create output like the following.
