I'm trying to use Jersey RS to return JSON for a POJO. This is not a servlet and there is no servlet container. The Jersey is being setup from within Netty (not Jetty). I can get Jersey to return APPLICATION_XML but APPLICATION_JSON on same resource throws an exception saying No Message Body writer for my domain class was found. I have included jersey-json and jackson-jaxrs modules in pom.xml.
Here's how the ResourceConfig is being setup :
Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<String, Object>();
props.put(PackagesResourceConfig.PROPERTY_PACKAGES, RESOURCES_PACKAGE);
props.put(PROPERTY_BASE_URI, "http://localhost:9000/");
props.put(JSONConfiguration.FEATURE_POJO_MAPPING, true);
ContainerFactory.createContainer(JerseyHandler.class, new PackagesResourceConfig(props));
where JerseyHandler is my Netty Handler class. The resource is very simple:
@Path("/test")
public class TestResource {
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public TestData get() {
return new TestData();
}
TestData is the simplest model class:
@XmlRootElement
public class TestData {
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public TestData() {}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
}
Here's the exception when trying to access "/test" :
SEVERE: A message body writer for Java class com.xyz.models.TestData, and Java type class com.xyz.models.TestData, and MIME media type application/json was not found
I have tried including Context classes from here but still no luck.
I can't imagine returning JSON from Jersey can be that hard. All examples on internet assume you're using Jersey from a servlet container but I am not! thanks for any inputs.
