Introductiongrails-jaxrs is a Grails plugin that supports the development of RESTful web services based on the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JSR 311: JAX-RS). It is targeted at developers who
... [More] want to structure the web service layer of an application in a JSR 311 compatible way but still want to continue to use Grails' powerful features such as GORM, automated XML marshalling, Grails filters and so on. This plugin is an alternative to Grails' built-in mechanism for implementing RESTful web services.
At the moment, plugin users may choose between Jersey (version 1.1.1-ea) and Restlet (version 2.0-m4) as JAX-RS implementations. Both implementations are packaged with the plugin. Support for Restlet was added in version 0.2 of the plugin in order to support deployments to Google App Engine. Other JAX-RS implementations such as RestEasy or Apache Wink are likely to be added in upcoming versions of the plugin. Please let us know if you'd like to have them added.
FeaturesMakes the JSR 311 (JAX-RS) available to Grails applications for developing RESTful web services. New Grails artefact types, Resource and Provider, for JAX-RS classes. JAX-RS Resource classes under grails-app/resources are auto-detected and can be modified at runtime. JAX-RS Provider classes under grails-app/providers are auto-detected and can be modified at runtime. Extended Grails command line interface Create new resources and unit test templates via grails create-resource . Generate ready-to-use resources from domain objects (scaffolding) via grails generate-resources (early access). Ability to use any Grails feature within JAX-RS resources and providers such as GORM can be for interacting with persistent domain objects. Grails filters for intercepting requests to JAX-RS resources. Grails services which can be auto-injected by name. The plugin implements special JAX-RS providers for converting between XML and Grails domain objects. Plugin users may choose between Jersey and Restlet as JAX-RS implementations by means of configuration. grails-jaxrs applications can be deployed to Google App Engine (GAE) when using Restlet. Jersey currently doesn't run on GAE. Getting startedIf you've used version 0.1 before make sure to read the upgrade notes.
