Examples for Chapter 6 - RESTful Java with JAX-RS 2.0 - page 291

public public class class ShoppingApplication ShoppingApplication extends extends Application {

private private Set < Object > singletons = new new HashSet < Object >();

private private Set < Class <?>> classes = new new HashSet < Class <?>>();

public public ShoppingApplication () {

singletons . add ( new new CustomerResource ());

classes . add ( JavaMarshaller . class );

}

@Override
public

public Set < Class <?>> getClasses () {
return

return classes ;

}

@Override
public

public Set < Object > getSingletons () {
return return singletons ;

}

}

For our Application class, we need to register the JavaMarshaller class. If we don't, the
JAX-RS runtime won't know how to handle the application/example-java media type.

The Client Code

The client code isn't much different from ex06_1 . We just need to modify the
javax.ws.rs.client.Entity construction to use the application/example-java media
type. For example, here's what customer creation looks like:
src/test/java/com/restfully/shop/test/CustomerResourceTest.java

public public class class CustomerResourceTest CustomerResourceTest

{

@Test
public public void void testCustomerResource () throws throws Exception

{

...

Response response = client . target
( "http://localhost:8080/services/customers" )
. request (). post ( Entity . entity
( newCustomer , "application/example-java" ));

The static Entity.entity() method is called, passing in the plain Customer Java object
along with our custom media type.
