There have been two releases; 5.0.7.Final and 6.2.4.Final. 6.2.4.Final This is the latest release for the Jakarta RESTful Web Services 3.1 specification. The release consists mostly of bug fixes and component upgrades. One component upgrade worth noting is the Undertow Upgrade. There was a moderate CVE, CVE-2022-4492, fixed in Undertow.

The RESTEasy tracing feature has been integrated into WildFly since its version 28. The usage of the tracing feature in RESTEasy is already introduced in RESTEasy Documentation1 and some blog posts2. In this article, I’ll focus on the usage of this feature in WildFly. There is an example in the resteasy-example3 project showing the usage of the tracing feature, and it uses the Galleon4 to provision a WildFly 28 server, so I’ll use this example...

Today we announce some new RESTEasy releases. Given there was a low impact CVE, we have released some older versions of RESTEasy as well. One big change, that likely seems odd for a patch release, is the way OPTION requests are handled. Previously a DefaultOptionsMethodException was thrown when invoked on a method that does not contain an @OPTIONS annotation. This will now simply return a valid response instead of throwing the exception. The old behavior...

Since RESTEasy implements the Jakarta RESTful Web Services 3.1 API, it includes an implementation for the jakarta.ws.rs.SeBootstrap API. The API allows the jakarta.ws.rs.core.Application to be run in a Java SE environment. In this article, I’ll focus on its usage of the feature. Firstly, the simplest way to use the the feature is to write a code block like this: SeBootstrap.start(MyApp.class) .thenApply(instance -> { instance.stopOnShutdown((stopResult -> System.out.println("Container has stopped."))); try (Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient()) { final...

Today RESTEasy 6.2.1.Final was released. This is a minor release mostly consisting of component upgrades and some fixes for running RESTEasy with the security manager enabled. This was done for the up and coming WildFly 27.0.0.Final release. One point of interest might be a newly added Galleon feature pack. There is now a org.jboss.resteasy:galleon-preview-feature-pack which is based on WildFly Preview. This allows the latest RESTEasy be used on either WildFly or WildFly Preview. An example...
