Sample REST program

We will use a simple approach to building a standalone application. It packages everything into a single executable JAR file, driven by a main() method. Along the way, you use Spring's support for embedding the Jetty servlet container as the HTTP runtime, instead of deploying it to an external instance. Therefore, we would create the executable JAR file in place of the war that needs to be deployed on external web servers, which is a part of the rest module. We'll define the domain models in the lib module and API related classes in the rest module.

The following are pom.xml of the lib and rest modules.

The pom.xml file of the lib module:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
