This example demonstrates how to develop RESTful web service with CDI managed beans and a Servlet 3.0 Web container.
This example should work on any Java EE 7 compliant application server. It has been tested on a standalone GlassFish 4 instance. The easiest way to get the application running there is to build it and deploy as follows:
mvn clean package $AS_HOME/asadmin deploy target/cdi-webapp.war
Another option, introduced in Jersey 2.15, is to run this example in Grizzly HTTP server. To get the application running there you just invoke the following command:
mvn clean compile exec:java
Since Weld Servlet support is provided also for Apache Tomcat server, there is yet
another way how to deploy the application. Use the tomcat-packaging maven profile
to get the WAR archive packaged in a way that makes it ready for Tomcat 7+ deployment:
mvn -Ptomcat-packaging clean package cp target/cdi-webapp.war $CATALINA_HOME/webapps
After you successfully deploy the application, visit the following URLs:
