SpringRestfullWSTest

What

Spring restfull webservice supporting both XML and JSON as response body.

How to use

Start server

• run as > run on server -> this did not always seem to work (spring sts exited every time I started the server)

• I added the maven jetty plugin and now you can can start the app in the jetty webserver with the following maven command:

$ mvn jetty:run

Test using Curl

• when running on tomcat or you chose run on server

$ curl -u remote:remote -v -H "Accept: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/SpringRestfullWSTest/contact/listdata

$ curl -u remote:remote -v -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/SpringRestfullWSTest/contact/listdata

• when runnin on jetty via maven the context root is not mentioned in the url:

$ curl -u remote:remote -v -H "Accept: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/contact/listdata

$ curl -u remote:remote -v -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:8080/contact/listdata  

Test using Springs Resttemplate

• just run the maven test:

$	mvn test

(restart server for each tests, since delete occurs in db ...)
