What is it?

The jaxrs-client quickstart demonstrates the JAX-RS Client API which interacts with a JAX-RS Web service.

This client "calls" many POST, GET, DELETE operations using different ways: synchronized, asynchronous, delayed and filtered invocations.

System requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly .

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later, Maven 3.0 or later.

Configure Maven

If you have not yet done so, you must Configure Maven before testing the quickstarts.

Start the WildFly Server

1. Open a command line and navigate to the root of the WildFly directory.

2. The following shows the command line to start the server with the default profile:

    For Linux:   WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
    For Windows: WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
   

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

1. Make sure you have started the WildFly server as described above.

2. Open a command line and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type this command to build and deploy the archive:

    mvn package wildfly:deploy
   

4. This will deploy target/jboss-jaxrs-client.war to the running instance of the server.

Run the Tests

This quickstart provides tests that shows the REST Client API features. By default, these tests are configured to be skipped as the tests requires that the application to be deployed first.

1. Make sure you have started the WildFly server as described above.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type the following command to run the test goal with the following profile activated:

    mvn test -Prest-client
   

Run tests from JBDS

To be able to run the tests from JBDS, first set the active Maven profile in project properties to be either 'rest-client'.

To run the tests, right click on the project or individual classes and select Run As --> JUnit Test in the context menu.

Undeploy the Archive

1. Make sure you have started the WildFly server as described above.

2. Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. When you are finished testing, type this command to undeploy the archive:

    mvn wildfly:undeploy
   

Run the Quickstart in JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse

You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For more information, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts

Debug the Application

If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.

mvn dependency:sources
