Jersey is the reference implementation of JAX-RS 2.1. The following Jersey dependencies are required in order to run a JAX-RS 2.1 client with JSON-P and JSON-B mapping outside of an enterprise container.
Jersey client version 2.6 implements the JAX-RS 2.1 API. Following dependencies add the client runtime to a project:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 | <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId> <version>2.26</version></dependency><dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.inject</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-hk2</artifactId> <version>2.26</version></dependency> |
If JSON objects should be mapped using JSON-P, the following dependency is required as well:
1 2 3 4 5 | <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-media-json-processing</artifactId> <version>2.26</version></dependency> |
This already adds an implementation for JSON-P 1.1, namely Glassfish javax.json.
If JSON objects should be mapped using JSON-B, the following dependency is added instead of or additionally to the previous one:
1 2 3 4 5 | <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-media-json-binding</artifactId> <version>2.26</version></dependency> |
This transitively adds the Yasson dependency, the reference implementation of JSON-B.
These dependencies enable the project to use the JAX-RS 2.1 client, together with JSON-P or JSON-B binding:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();WebTarget target = clientResponse response = target.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).get();JsonArray customers = response.readEntity(JsonArray.class);response = target.path("123").request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).get();Customer customer = response.readEntity(Customer.class);...public class Customer { @JsonbTransient private long id; private String name; // getters & setters} |
And for our Gradle users, here is the equivalent of the Maven declarations:
1 2 3 4 5 | compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.core:jersey-client:2.26'compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.inject:jersey-hk2:2.26'compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-json-processing:2.26'compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-json-binding:2.26' |
