Super Ebook

If you are already familiar with REST theory but are new to RESTful Java web services, and want to use the Java technology stack together with Java RESTful frameworks to create robust web services, this is the book for you.

This book is a guide to developing RESTful web services using Java and the most popular RESTful frameworks available today. It covers the theory of REST; practical coding examples for RESTful clients; a practical outline of the RESTful design process-yes, it’s different from traditional web application development; and a complete implementation of a non-trivial web service using the following frameworks: Jersey’s JAX-RS, Restlet’s Lightweight REST, JBoss’s JAX-RS RESTEasy, and Struts 2 with the REST plug-in.

What you will learn from this book?

* REST architecture basics
* What it means for a web service to be RESTful
* How to connect to and consume RESTful web services such as Yahoo or Google
* A RESTful web service design heuristic
* How to deploy web services to Java web containers such as Tomcat and JBoss
* How to implement an entire web service using the most popular open source frameworks currently available, including JAX-RS implementations Jersey and RESTEasy, Restlet, and Struts 2 with the REST plug-in
* How to create standalone Java web services using the Restlet framework
* How you can secure RESTful web services
