I basically need a way to send it certain inputs and verify that I get the expected responses. I'd prefer to do this via JUnit, but I'm not sure how that can be achieved. What approach do you use to test your we...

I'm trying to expose a REST-full service (hosted by Tomcat) and can't figure out what is the required configuration for Spring 3 (M3).

Ideally, I am looking for something like JAX-RS (using annotations to describe the services I want to call), but allowing to call REST services implemented using other technologies (not JAX-RS). Any suggestion? ...
I'm trying to manage a contended resource (as in: database session) while programming a RESTful web application in Jersey.

Hi, I have found out that "Hibernate cannot be combined with the reference implementation of JAX-RS." on the link http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/hibernate-issues/2009-May/015628.html So i am unable to combine JAX-RS (jersey) with hibernate, does anybody know a work around for this ? ...
I have a JAX-RS REST service implemented using Jersey. One of the cool features of JAX-RS/Jersey is how easily a POJO can be turned into a REST service, simply by sprinkling a few Java annotations... including a trivially easy mechanism for translating POJOs to JSON - using JAXB annotations. Now, I'd like to be able to take advantage of...

I've just started to use Jersey to create a RESTful API for my site. Its a wonderful change from having to roll my own support for RESTful services in Java. One thing I just can't seem to figure out is how to "fake" a DELETE and PUT method. Jersey supports the annotations @PUT and @DELETE, however many Load-Balancers will not allow th...
