jersey Getting started with jersey Hello World Example

Example

this is the simple example of getting the hello world plain text message as output on calling the GET request.

import javax.ws.rs.GET; 
import javax.ws.rs.Path; 
import javax.ws.rs.Produces; 
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;  
@Path("/hello") 
public class HelloExample {  
   @GET 
   @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_TEXT) 
   public String getUsers(){ 
      return "Hello World"; 
   }  
}

you also nedd to add the following in the web.xml file to completely setup the api.

   <display-name>User Message</display-name> 
   <servlet> 
      <servlet-name>Jersey REST Api</servlet-name> 
      <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servletclass> 
      <init-param> 
         <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name> 
         <param-value>your_package_name</param-value> 
      </init-param> 
   </servlet> 
   <servlet-mapping> 
      <servlet-name>Jersey REST Api</servlet-name> 
      <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern> 
   </servlet-mapping>

After that you will have to deploy this on your server and then open the following Url in your browser to get the output. your_server_name/your_appl_name/rest/hello.
