Multiple JAX-RS URIs in One WAR

To deploy multiple JAX-RS applications with different URIs in one WAR you will have to create one javax.ws.rs.core.Application subclass per such an application (or use web.xml for this purpose). Obviously the in Java EE ubiquitous Convention over Configuration (or Configuration by Exception) cannot work any more: you will have to explicitly configure resources in each subclass by overriding the method getClasses or getSingletons:


@Path("first")
public class FirstResource {
    @GET
    public String first() {
        return "first";
    }
}


@ApplicationPath("one")
public class JAXRSConfigurationOne extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> resources = new HashSet<>();
        resources.add(FirstResource.class);
        return resources;
    }
}


@Path("second")
public class SecondResource {
    @GET
    public String first() {
        return "second";
    }
}


@ApplicationPath("two")
public class JAXRSConfigurationTwo extends Application {
    @Override
    public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
        Set<Class<?>> resources = new HashSet<>();
        resources.add(SecondResource.class);
        return resources;
    }
}

Both JAX-RS applications become accessible through distinct URIs: http://localhost:8080/multiple-roots/one/first and http://localhost:8080/multiple-roots/two/second

Not sure if you can have 2 Application subclasses in deployment for RESTEasy. On which JAX-RS implementation did you try this -Jersey ?

God bless you!

Is there a similar mechanism for two ExceptionMappers and two ContextResolvers(JAXBContext) of those two different Applications within the same war?

JAX-RS does not seem to allow equal @Path - even when only used in different @ApplicationPaths

Have you tried to change the FirstResource and SecondResource path to the same value.
In this case, the response will be unexpected.
like:
http://localhost:8080/multiple-roots/one/newpath
and
http://localhost:8080/multiple-roots/two/newpath

They will return the same result.

@li I saw the same behavior but only in resteasy 2.x which was acknowledged as a bug https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RESTEASY-650

I'm yet to encounter the same on Jersey or Wink

This won't work in JBOSS AS. Following exception will be thrown at deployment : JBAS011232: Only one JAX-RS Application Class allowed

Is there any way could I make JAXRSConfigurationTwo as the subresource of JAXRSConfigurationOne, like in the following URI

"http://localhost:port/one/two/second"

Hi. Is the example from Li (Feb 24th, 2016) meanwhile confirmed as working or not working with respect to JavaEE 8?
