jaxrs-html-provider

HTML Generation for JAX-RS applications

Usage

Add the following to your pom.xml (updating <version> where appropriate):

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.internetitem.web</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxrs-html-provider</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>

You must provide your own JAX-RS and FreeMarker dependencies.

The class JaxRsHtmlProvider contains the provider logic, and will by default load templates from /templates on the classpath.

Within your service methods, you need to do two things:

• Specify @Produces("text/html")
• Configure the service/model's template filename

The template's filename can be specified using one of the following methods (the first one found will be used):

• Implement the TemplateAware interface on the model class
• Annotate the service method with @TemplateName
• Annotate the model class with @TemplateName

Spring Boot

If you are using Spring Boot, the Configuration class JaxRsHtmlProviderConfiguration will automatically add two beans:

• jaxRsHtmlProvider - The actual JaxRsHtmlProvider which is a JAX-RS @Provider
• freemarkerHtmlGenerator - The default implementation of Renderer which uses Freemarker to generate HTML. If you provide a different imlementation of Renderer, that one will be used instead

Dependencies

You must declare JAX-RS and FreeMarker as dependencies. If you want Spring Boot support, you must bring declare that yourself too.
