resteasy-grpc1 is a project that can help you to generate a bridge project that can expose REST service APIs to gRPC clients. The resteasy-grpc generated project will wrap your REST project into the final bridge project, and provide a gRPC service by using the standard gRPC server by default, and redirect the gRPC service calls into the backend servlet based REST services internally, which means you need to have a servlet container so the backend...

In Part I of this two part series (grpc and WildFly - Part I), we discussed WildFly’s grpc subsystem, which supports gRPC services. Here, we introduce the RESTEasy resteasy-grpc project, which allows gRPC clients to communicate with Jakarta RESTFul Web Services. We assume here that the reader is familiar with WildFly, Jakarta REST, protobuf, and gRPC. There is a brief introduction to gRPC in Part I. gRPC is a fairly open system. For example client...

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...
