Jersey RESTful web service gradle setup
First
Get rid of all the Jersey dependencies you currently have
dependencies {
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.3'
+------------- ======= JUNK ======= ----------------+
| testCompile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-client:1.17.1' |
| compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:1.17.1' |
| compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-server:1.17.1' |
| compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-servlet:1.17.1' |
+---------------------------------------------------+
}
Below is the only only one you need to get the basic functionality
dependencies {
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11'
testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.3'
+-------------------- ========= GOLDEN ======== -------------------------+
| compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-servlet:2.14'|
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
/* UPDATE */
/* Starting Jersey version 2.26, you will also need the following */
/* compile 'org.glassfish.jersey.inject:jersey-hk2:2.26' */
}
Second
web.xml
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.ziroby.hello.webapp</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Third
Test
import javax.ws.rs.client.Client;
import javax.ws.rs.client.ClientBuilder;
import javax.ws.rs.client.WebTarget;
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.is;
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;
import org.junit.Test;
public class HelloIntegrationTest {
private static String HELLO_URL = "http://localhost:8080/hello";
@Test
public void testHello() throws Exception {
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
WebTarget webTarget = client.target(HELLO_URL);
String response = webTarget.request().get(String.class);
System.out.println(response);
assertThat(response, is("Hello, World!"));
}
}
This has been tested with a clone of the linked project. Only changes are shown above.

- What exactly is the ResourceConfig?
- More information on deployment options
- More information in the Client API
Update
For JSON support use
org.glassfish.jersey.media:jersey-media-json-jackson:2.14
No extra configuration is required for it to work.

I am stuck with creating a gradle project for a RESTful web service using the jersey library. The project configuration should be capable of launching the service inside a jetty application server. I already found a resource: https://github.com/ziroby/jetty-gradle-hello-world
My problem with that solution is, that it uses an outdated version of jersey. I need at least version 2(preferred latest 2.14). I tried to search for new versions on maven central, but in version 2 a lot of artifact names changed, and I am not able to configure it correctly.
Edit: I do not specifically need a jetty server in my project. It can be any application server, which is suitable for testing and debugging my app. I am using jetty also in production, so it would be nice to use jetty.
EDIT: (by peeskillet) - Code from link
build
apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'jetty' repositories { mavenCentral() } dependencies { testCompile 'junit:junit:4.11' testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.3' testCompile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-client:1.17.1' testCompile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:1.17.1' compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-core:1.17.1' compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-server:1.17.1' compile 'com.sun.jersey:jersey-servlet:1.17.1' } test { exclude '**/*IntegrationTest*' } task integrationTest(type: Test) { include '**/*IntegrationTest*' doFirst { jettyRun.httpPort = 8080 // Port for test jettyRun.daemon = true jettyRun.execute() } doLast { jettyStop.stopPort = 8091 // Port for stop signal jettyStop.stopKey = 'stopKey' jettyStop.execute() } }
Test
public class HelloIntegrationTest { private static String HELLO_URL = "http://localhost:8080/hello"; @Test public void testHello() throws Exception { Client client = Client.create(); WebResource webResource = client.resource(HELLO_URL); String response = webResource.get(String.class); assertThat(response, is("Hello, World!")); } }
Resource
@Path("/hello") public class HelloWebapp { private static HelloWorldService helloWorldService = new HelloWorldService(); @GET() public String hello() { return helloWorldService.sayHello(); } }
