How to write a REST web service using Apache jclouds

I want to write a REST web service using Apache jclouds . This web service will list the number of virtual machine running on openstack. Can you please tell me from where to start with the REST web service development using Apache jclouds

Solution

  • You wouldn't actually use jclouds to write a web service. It's probably best to use a JAX-RS based framework like Jersey or RESTEasy to write a REST web service.

    jclouds is effectively for reading cloud web services. To list the number of virtual machines running on OpenStack, have a look at the jclouds Nova Example that lists servers.
