Building RESTful Web Services with Java EE 8

Building Synchronous Web Services and Clients

In this chapter, we will go into the details of building synchronous microservices with Java EE 8. We will learn how to implement server-side REST APIs using basic JAX-RS annotations, implement sub-resource locators for nested REST APIs, and use HTTP status codes and exception mappers for exception handling. You will also learn how to implement the client side using JAX-RS client APIs, and finally, we will have a look at different test strategies for Java EE web services.

We'll cover the following sections in this chapter:

• Implementing basic REST APIs with JAX-RS
• Using sub-resources
• Error handling in JAX-RS
• Implementing web service clients with Java EE 8
• Testing Java EE 8 web services
