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:
<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:
<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:
<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:
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
WebTarget target = client
.target("http://localhost:8080/jersey-test/resources/tests");
Response 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:
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'
