Chapter 2. 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

By the end of this chapter, we'll have implemented a small library microservice that offers a REST API for books, authors, and loans. We'll implement the library client as a standalone application and use the Jersey Test Framework and the Test Containers framework...
