I'm trying to make a restful service with jersey, for that I'm using the jersey example for a maven project. So this is what I got:
my pom.xml:

the resource
package com.example;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
/**
* Root resource (exposed at "myresource" path)
*/
@Path("/myresource")
public class MyResource {
/**
* Method handling HTTP GET requests. The returned object will be sent
* to the client as "text/plain" media type.
*
* @return String that will be returned as a text/plain response.
*/
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String getIt() {
return "Got it!";
}
@Path( "complexObject/{name}" )
@GET
@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON } )
public ComplexObject complexObject( @PathParam( "name" ) String name ) {
return new ComplexObject(name);
}
}
The ComplexObject class is just a class with a string. when I hit the url: http://localhost:8080/simple-service-webapp/webapi/myresource/ This work, I get "Got it!"
but when I hit on: http://localhost:8080/simple-service-webapp/webapi/myresource/complexObject/capo
I get this error on the console:
SEVERE: MessageBodyWriter not found for media type=application/json, type=class com.example.ComplexObject, genericType=class com.example.ComplexObject.
How can I fix this?
With this dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-json-provider</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>
You will still need to register the provider. You could register it individually
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.classnames</param-name>
<param-value>
com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider
</param-value>
</init-param>
Or since the dependency also comes with Jackson ExceptionMappers, you might want to just have the whole package scanned (just add it to the list of packages)
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>
com.example,
com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs.json
</param-value>
</init-param>
Another option, besides using the above dependency, is to use Jersey's "wrapper" dependency (which handle the registration of the of the providers, among a couple other things such as Jackson Entity Filtering. Just used
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
</dependency>
With this dependency, do registration is required. It is automatically registered through Jersey's auto-discoverable feature
