Jersey - Declarative Hyperlinking - In Code Configuration

Question

Hi I'm going through the Jersey Getting Started Guide.

In Chapter 6 they use the @Ref annotation to inject the URI of a resource. I've followed the example, but my uri is always null.

How can I add the com.sun.jersey.server.linking.LinkFilter to com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponseFilters programatically? I've already seen a bunch of examples using web.xml.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I ended up retrieving the ResponseFilters from the ResourceConfig and then adding an instance of LinkFilter to it.

private static HttpServer startServer() throws IOException {
        LOG.info("Starting server...");
        ResourceConfig rc = new PackagesResourceConfig("com.mycomp.resources");
        rc.getContainerResponseFilters().add(new com.sun.jersey.server.linking.LinkFilter());
        return GrizzlyServerFactory.createHttpServer(BASE_URI, rc);
    }
