Shortener Webapp (MVC + Bean Validation)

This example demonstrates a simple Link Shortener webapp demonstrating Jersey MVC and Bean Validation capabilities. There is no validation on the frontend side, every error displayed is recognized on the backend.

## Contents

The mapping of the URI path space is presented in the following table:

URI path | Resource class | HTTP methods | Allowed values
--- | --- | --- | ---
`/` | ShortenerResource | GET, POST |
`/r/{link}` | ResolverResource | GET | link - shortened link part
`/i/{link}` | PermanentLinkResource | GET | link - shortened link part

Application is configured by using web.xml, which registers javax.ws.rs.core.Application extension to get classes and singletons from it (see class `ShortenerApplication`). MVC and Bean Validation annotations are present on resource classes (see `ShortenerResource`, `ResolverResource`, `PermanentLinkResource`) as well as on the domain class (see `ShortenedLink`).
