With Apache CXF 3.0 just being released a couple of weeks ago, the project makes yet another important step to fulfill the JAX-RS 2.0 specification requirements: integration with CDI 1.1. In this blog post we are going to look on a couple of examples of how Apache CXF 3.0 and Apache CXF 3.0 work together.
Starting from version 3.0, Apache CXF includes a new module, named cxf-integration-cdi which could be added easily to your Apache Maven POM file:
1.<dependency> 2.<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId> 3.<artifactId>cxf-integration-cdi</artifactId> 4.<version>3.0.0</version> 5.</dependency>
This new module brings just two components (in fact, a bit more but those are the key ones):
- CXFCdiServlet: the servlet to bootstrap Apache CXF application, serving the same purpose asCXFServlet and CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet, ...
- JAXRSCdiResourceExtension: portable CDI 1.1 extension where all the magic happens
When run in CDI 1.1-enabled environment, the portable extensions are discovered by CDI 1.1 container and initialized using life-cycle events. And that is literally all what you need! Let us see the real application in action.
We are going to build a very simple JAX-RS 2.0 application to manage people using Apache CXF 3.0 andJBoss Weld 2.1, the CDI 1.1 reference implementation. The Person class we are going to use for a person representation is just a simple Java bean:
01.package com.example.model; 02. 03.public class Person{ 04.private String email; 05.private String firstName; 06.private String lastName; 07.public Person(){ 08.} 09.public Person(final String email, final String firstName, final StringlastName){ 10.this.email = email; 11.this.firstName = firstName; 12.this.lastName = lastName; 13.} 14.//getters and setters are ommited 15.//...
As it is quite common now, we are going to run our application inside embedded Jetty 9.1 container and ourStarter class does exactly that:
Please notice the presence of CXFCdiServlet and two mandatory listeners which were added to the context:
- org.jboss.weld.environment.servlet.Listener is responsible for CDI injections
- org.jboss.weld.environment.servlet.BeanManagerResourceBindingListener binds the reference to the BeanManager to JNDI location java:comp/env/BeanManager to make it accessible anywhere from the application
With that, the full power of CDI 1.1 is at your disposal. Let us introduce the PeopleService class annotated with @Named annotation and with an initialization method declared and annotated with @PostConstruct just to create one person.
Up to now we have said nothing about configuring JAX-RS 2.0 applications and resources in CDI 1.1enviroment. The reason for that is very simple: depending on the application, you may go with zero-effort configuration or fully customizable one. Let us go through both approaches.
With zero-effort configuration, you may define an empty JAX-RS 2.0 application and any number of JAX-RS 2.0 resources: Apache CXF 3.0 implicitly will wire them together by associating each resource class with this application. Here is an example of JAX-RS 2.0 application:
And here is a JAX-RS 2.0 resource PeopleRestService which injects the PeopleService managed bean:
01.package com.example.rs; 02. 03.import java.util.Collection; 04. 05.import javax.inject.Inject; 06.import javax.ws.rs.DELETE; 07.import javax.ws.rs.DefaultValue; 08.import javax.ws.rs.FormParam; 09.import javax.ws.rs.GET; 10.import javax.ws.rs.POST; 11.import javax.ws.rs.PUT; 12.import javax.ws.rs.Path; 13.import javax.ws.rs.PathParam; 14.import javax.ws.rs.Produces; 15.import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam; 16.import javax.ws.rs.core.Context; 17.import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType; 18.import javax.ws.rs.core.Response; 19.import javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo; 20. 21.import com.example.model.Person; 22.import com.example.services.PeopleService; 23. 24.@Path( "/people" ) 25.public class PeopleRestService { 26.@Inject private PeopleService peopleService; 27. 28.@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON } ) 29.@GET 30.public Collection< Person > getPeople( @QueryParam( "page")@DefaultValue( "1" ) final int page ) { 31.// ... 32.} 33. 34.@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON } ) 35.@Path( "/{email}" ) 36.@GET 37.public Person getPerson( @PathParam( "email" ) final String email ) { 38.// ... 39.} 40. 41.@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON } ) 42.@POST 43.public Response addPerson( @Context final UriInfo uriInfo, 44.@FormParam( "email" ) final String email, 45.@FormParam( "firstName" ) final String firstName, 46.@FormParam( "lastName" ) final String lastName ) { 47.// ... 48.} 49. 50.// More HTTP methods here 51.// ... 52.}
Nothing else is required: Apache CXF 3.0 application could be run like that and be fully functional. The complete source code of the sample project is available on GitHub. Please keep in mind that if you are following this style, only single empty JAX-RS 2.0 application should be declared.
With customizable approach more options are available but a bit more work have to be done. Each JAX-RS 2.0 application should provide non-empty getClasses() or/and getSingletons() collections implementation. However, JAX-RS 2.0 resource classes stay unchanged. Here is an example (which basically leads to the same application configuration we have seen before):
01.package com.example.rs; 02. 03.import java.util.Arrays; 04.import java.util.HashSet; 05.import java.util.Set; 06. 07.import javax.enterprise.inject.Produces; 08.import javax.inject.Inject; 09.import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath; 10.import javax.ws.rs.core.Application; 11. 12.import com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJsonProvider; 13. 14.@ApplicationPath( "api" ) 15.public class JaxRsApiApplication extends Application { 16.@Inject private PeopleRestService peopleRestService; 17.@Produces private JacksonJsonProvider jacksonJsonProvider = newJacksonJsonProvider(); 18. 19.@Override 20.public Set< Object > getSingletons() { 21.return new HashSet<>( 22.Arrays.asList( 23.peopleRestService, 24.jacksonJsonProvider 25.) 26.); 27.} 28.}
Please notice, that JAXRSCdiResourceExtension portable CDI 1.1 extension automatically creates managed beans for each JAX-RS 2.0 applications (the ones extending Application) and resources (annotated with@Path). As such, those are immediately available for injection (as for example PeopleRestService in the snippet above). The class JacksonJsonProvider is annotated with @Provider annotation and as such will be treated as JAX-RS 2.0 provider. There are no limit on JAX-RS 2.0 applications which could be defined in this way. The complete source code of the sample project using this appoarch is available on GitHub
No matter which approach you have chosen, our sample application is going to work the same. Let us build it and run:
1.
&
gt
; mvn clean package
2.
&
gt
; java -jar target/jax-rs-2.0-cdi-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
Calling the couple of implemented REST APIs confirms that application is functioning and configured properly. Let us issue the GET command to ensure that the method of PeopleService annotated with @PostConstructhas been called upon managed bean creation.
And here is the example of POST command:
In this blog post we have just scratched the surface of what is possible now with Apache CXF and CDI 1.1integration. Just to mention that embedded Apache Tomcat 7.x / 8.x as well as WAR-based deployments ofApache CXF with CDI 1.1 are possible on most JEE application servers and servlet containers.
Please take a look on official documentation and give it a try!
