The Jakarta RESTful Web Services (formerly Java API for RESTful Web Services) specification provides a robust framework for writing RESTful (and not-so-RESTful) web services in Java. The JAX-RS API allows for Resource (the service itself) and Provider (enrichers providing cross-cutting concerns) implementations to be written in a very modular, testable way. There are times, however, when the API requires a little “magic” that only works well when the code is running within the context of a real JAX-RS implementation. The Apache CXF project provides a JAX-RS implementation module which we can use to test our JAX-RS code in its native…
Overview
In this tutorial, we will be building a simple Spring Boot application and deploying it to a local Kubernetes cluster. We will explore some helpful utility libraries for adapting Spring Boot to the Kubernetes way of doing things. We will be employing some useful Maven plugins to help us build an application image and all required Kubernetes resources to run it. The source code for this tutorial can be found on GitHub, so feel free to download it in case you get stuck along the way. First things first, we need to set up our workstation.
