Building Asynchronous RESTful Services With Jersey

We establish a "Books" API at the beginning of the course. This API will be used throughout the course to improve and expand upon. The course begins with deploying to Grizzly and then we implement a series testing using JerseyTest. These tests are continuously expanded throughout the course. We will explore Jersey's built in dependency injection and make improvements to our API to take full advantage of Jersey’s async support. To render our custom-tailored JSON, XML and MOXy libraries, we switch to Jackson. We will explore mapping exceptions to the responses and supporting conditional GET queries. We create our own PATCH verb and support conditional updates. We also explore Jersey's filter support and create our own filter.
