<DIV><p>Learn how to design and develop distributed web services in Java using RESTful architectural principals and the JAX-RS specification in Java EE 6. With this hands-on reference, you'll focus on implementation rather than theory, and discover why the RESTful method is far better than technologies like CORBA and SOAP.<br><br> It's easy to get started with services based on the REST architecture. <I>RESTful Java with JAX-RS</I> includes a technical guide that explains REST and JAX-RS, how they work, and when to use them. With the RESTEasy workbook that follows, you get step-by-step instructions for installing, configuring, and running several working JAX-RS examples using the JBoss RESTEasy implementation of JAX-RS.</p><p> This new edition focuses on JAX-RS 2.0. With the specification expected in Spring 2013, and Java EE 7 slated to be out in Summer 2013, 2.0 includes significant new additions. This edition will get you up to speed on these new aspects, which include a client API, server-side asynchronous HTTP, and filters and interceptors.</p><ul><li>Work on the design of a distributed RESTful interface, and develop it in Java as a JAX-RS service </li><li>Dispatch HTTP requests in JAX-RS, and learn how to extract information from them </li><li>Deploy your web services within Java Enterprise Edition using the Application class, Default Component Model, EJB Integration, Spring Integration, and JPA </li><li>Discover several options for securing your web services </li><li>Learn how to implement RESTful design patterns using JAX-RS </li><li>Write RESTful clients in Java using libraries and frameworks such as java.net.URL, Apache HTTP Client, and RESTEasy Proxy</li></ul></div>
