RESTEasy Overview and Roadmap UPDATE 2024-02-19: Jakarta REST is in the process of possibly doing a Jakarta REST 3.2 version instead of a 4.0 version for Jakarta EE 11. What a 3.2 version would include is adding the @Deprecated annotation to the @Context and @Suspended annotations instead of simply removing them. We find this to be a good plan so users are aware of these changes and migration can be done in a more... James R. Perkins • December 06, 2023 Read More

Using the resteasy-grpc feature together with the WildFly gRPC subsystem resteasy-grpc[^resteasy-grpc] 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...

gRPC and WildFly - Part II: Exposing Jakarta RESTFul Web Services to gRPC 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...

Using The RESTEasy Tracing Feature In WildFly 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 Documentation[^resteasydoc] and some blog posts[^resteasyposts]. In this article, I’ll focus on the usage of this feature in WildFly. There is an example in the resteasy-example[^resteaasyexample] project showing the usage of the tracing feature, and it uses the Galleon[^galleon] to provision a WildFly 28...

Q1 2023 RESTEasy Quarterly Releases 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... James R. Perkins • March 01, 2023 Read More
Using MicroProfile OpenAPI With RESTEasy The MicroProfile OpenAPI specification defines a standard and programming language-agnostic interface description for HTTP APIs. Here is the API document to the specification: GitHub - OAI/OpenAPI-Specification: The OpenAPI Specification Repository In this article I'll introduce the basic usage of the example, and then describe its design. At last, I'll introduce some internal implementations of the OpenAPI feature in WildFly and Quarkus. Usage Of The Example I have added an example showing... Wei Nan Li • February 20, 2023 Read More

An Introduction to the RESTEasy SeBootstrap Usage 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 ->... Wei Nan Li • November 01, 2022 Read More

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... James R. Perkins • October 10, 2022 Read More
