jersey and jax-rs RI2 - missing HttpServerFactory

Question

I have a simple project to test JAX-RS services. Yesterday I downloaded jersey-1.7.1 and used com.sun.jersey.api.container.httpserver.HttpServerFactory and com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer to create a http server to test my services from inside eclipse (w/o a heavy weight container)

Today, I downloaded the latest jersey jars (jaxrs-ri) and the HttpServerFactory is missing. Looks like they removed the class between 1.7.1 => 2.0 but I cannot find it in deprecated section. I see grizzly2 classes in API section (maybe that is what I am supposed to use now) but none of the jars in jaxrs-ri bundle provide those classes. I downloaded the jersey-grizzly 1.12 jar but it only has com/sun/jersey/server/impl/container/grizzly2/GrizzlyContainer classes and no implementation.

So question to kind souls

1 - with the latest jaxrs-ri jars from jersey download page, what is the recommended way to create a simple http server to test from command line if the 1.7.1 way has been deprecated. what jars to download/include and perhaps a short code sample?

2 - The whole documentation around creating a simple REST service using java is a big mess. So how do you find the right information?

(Really, this is not a joke. maybe this would require a separate blog post - just look at the mess, changed API, no information on deprecated features, implementation diffs, e.g. CXF vs. jersey, API 1.x vs API 2.0, Glassfish container v x.y vs. Tomcat, version x of y vs. version x2 of y, servlet 3.0 would have this file, are you extending Application or not!)

Update

working example with JDKHttp server

package test.jersey;

import java.net.URI;
import com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer;
import org.glassfish.jersey.jdkhttp.JdkHttpServerFactory ;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig;

public class ConsoleServerV2 {

    static final String BASE_URI = "http://localhost:9099/";

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpServer server = null ;

        ResourceConfig rc = new ResourceConfig(rest.Service.class);
        URI endpoint = new URI(BASE_URI);

        server = JdkHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(endpoint,rc);
        System.out.println("console v2.0 : Press Enter to stop the server. ");
        System.in.read();
        server.stop(0);

    }
}

Answer 1

You could use the JdkHttpServerFactory, which is available in the jersey-container-jdk-http-2.0.jar:

ResourceConfig rc = new ResourceConfig(HelloWorldResource.class);
HttpServer server = JdkHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(baseUri, rc);

No need to call server.start()!
