An example WildFly Swarm service written in Ceylon, demonstrating the use of JPA, CDI, and JAX-RS. You can also run the example on the WildFly application server, and probably on any other Java EE application server.
The project is based these WildFly Swarm examples.
You'll need the following prerequisites to get started:
Now, go to the directory ceylon-wildfly-swarm-jaxrs
, which
contains the example project.
You can compile and run it using:
ceylon plugin install ceylon.swarm
ceylon compile && ceylon swarm --provided-module=javax.javaeeapi jaxrs.example && java -jar jaxrs.example-1.0.0-swarm.jar
And hit: http://localhost:8080/rest/employee
Now let's understand the individual steps...
To compile the example, type:
ceylon compile
This will compile the module jaxrs.example
into the modules
subdirectory.
Make sure sure that the ceylon swarm
plugin is installed:
ceylon plugin install ceylon.swarm
Next, assemble the module jaxrs.example
as an executable jar
by running:
ceylon swarm --provided-module=javax.javaeeapi jaxrs.example
This will create the file jaxrs.example-1.0.0-swarm.jar
, which
is an executable "fat" jar containing your service and all its
dependencies.
Run the executable jar using java
:
java -jar jaxrs.example-1.0.0-swarm.jar
You'll see lots of output from WildFly. The deployment is ready when you see this message:
INFO [org.jboss.as.server] (main) WFLYSRV0010: Deployed "jaxrs.example-1.0.0.war" (runtime-name : "jaxrs.example-1.0.0.war")
To check that it's working, go straight to:
http://localhost:8080/rest/employee
The service has the following endpoints:
- To query all
Employee
s: - To persist an
Employee
:-
POST http://localhost:8080/rest/employee
{ "name" : "Diego Coronel" }
-
You can use the Insomnia REST client to test it.
Project metadata for both Eclipse and IntelliJ is included. Make
sure you have Ceylon IDE for Eclipse or IntelliJ installed
in your preferred IDE, and import the project from the folder
ceylon-wildfly-swarm/ceylon-wildfly-swarm-jaxrs
.
To run the project in IntelliJ, open the file
source/jaxrs/example/module.ceylon
and click the green triangle in the gutter.
To run the project in Eclipse, select the project or module in the Explorer, and select 'Run > Run As > Ceylon Java Application Packaged by WildFly Swarm'.
To run the example on the full WildFly application server, compile the module, and then assemble a Java web archive by typing:
ceylon war --static-metamodel --provided-module=javax.javaeeapi jaxrs.example
This creates the file jaxrs.example-1.0.0.war
. Copy this file to
your WildFly deployments
directory:
copy jaxrs.example-1.0.0.war $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments/
Start WildFly, if it's not already running:
standalone.sh --server-config=standalone.xml
And, finally, go to:
