Integrating Jersey (JAX-RS) with Openfire

zersaegen · September 1, 2013, 8:40pm

Hi,

I want to create a plugin that allows access to some features of openfire by a RESTful webservice. I therefore tried to integrate jersey to openfire but did not suceed yet.

The PluginServlet allows the use of custom HttpServlets so I thought this is the right point to start from and as the jersey ServletContainer extends from the java HttpServlet but I have some issues with the url mapping.

This is what I have accomplished so far:

my web-custom.xml:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>

RESTServiceServlet

com.mypackage.RESTServiceServlet

jersey.config.server.provider.packages

com.mypackage

1

RESTServiceServlet

/restservice/*

for debugging purposes I extended the jersey ServletContainer to the RESTServiceServlet mentioned above:

@Override

public Value service(URI baseUri, URI requestUri, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

System.out.println("baseUri: " + baseUri);
System.out.println("requestUri: " + requestUri);
System.out.println("contextPath: " + request.getContextPath());
System.out.println("pathInfo: " + request.getPathInfo());
System.out.println(“translated: " + request.getPathTranslated());
System.out.println(“requestURI: " + request.getRequestURI());
System.out.println(“servletPath:” + request.getServletPath());
System.out.println(””);

return super.service(baseUri, requestUri, request, response);

}

I then added a simple pojo hello world class with

@Path(“hello”)

and then tried to open http://localhost:9090/plugins/restservice/restservice/hello

but I only get a 404 error. The debug output looks like this:

baseUri: http://localhost:9090/plugins/

requestUri: http://localhost:9090/plugins/restservice/restservice/hello

contextPath:

pathInfo: /restservice/restservice/hello

requestURI: /plugins/restservice/restservice/hello

servletPath:/plugins

I think the problem is the mapping but I dont know how to solve it, maybe the @Path is wrong or the mapping in the web-custom.xml?

Any help is appreciated, I’ve been trying for hours

Use the http-bind web service on 7070/7443 instead of the admin web service. See the fastpath webclient for an example on how to do this.

thanks for your reply.

I dont really understand how the fastpath webclient or the http-bind web service is actually helping me. I try to accomplish that i can for instance see the users in a multi user chat room by a http call, something like http://localhost:9090/plugins/restservice/restservice/muc/{roomid} that lists all the usernames… this seems not to be the intention of the fastpath webclient or am I missing something?

However, I found some other posts (http://community.igniterealtime.org/message/203902) regarding a RESTful webservice with jersey and I finally got it run so the method in my hello class is called (as I can see in the console). my setup is as follows:

web-custom.xml

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>

RESTServiceServlet

com.***.RESTServiceServlet

RESTServiceServlet

/restservice/*

RESTServiceServlet class

public class RESTServiceServlet extends ServletContainer {

public RESTServiceServlet() {

super(new RESTServiceConfig());

}

@Override

public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {

super.init(config);

AuthCheckFilter.addExclude(“restservice/*”);

}

@Override

public void destroy() {

super.destroy();

AuthCheckFilter.removeExclude(“restservice/*”);

}

static public class RESTServiceConfig extends ResourceConfig {

public RESTServiceConfig() {

super(Hello.class);

}

Hello class

@Path("/restservice/restservice/hello")

public class Hello {

// This method is called if TEXT_PLAIN is request

@GET

@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)

public String sayPlainTextHello() {

System.out.println(“sayPlainTextHello”);

return “Hello Jersey”;

}

// This method is called if XML is request

@GET

@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_XML)

public String sayXMLHello() {

System.out.println(“sayXMLHello”);

return “<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>” + " Hello Jersey" + “”;

}

// This method is called if HTML is request

@GET

@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)

public String sayHtmlHello() {

System.out.println(“sayHtmlHello”);

return “Hello”;

}

Maybe this is helpful for somebody else. The only problem I’m facing now is the following exception is shown when I open http://localhost:9090/plugins/restservice/restservice/hello The “???” belong to the page shown!
