Enabling JAX-RS in a maven seam project

bohl Nov 9, 2010 4:10 AM

I'm trying use jboss tools 3.1.1.GA to create a maven seam project with JAX-RS support. After the database connection setup dialog, a dialog labeled "JAX-RS Capabilities" appears (screenshot) and asks for a "JAX-RS implementation library". I'm not sure what exactly is meant and tried to point it to different jars (jboss-seam-resteasy.jar, jaxrs-api.jar and jersey-bundle-1.4.jar (screenshot)), but all I get is this message "The selected file is not a valid user library data file" (screenshot). It looks like I can skip the dialog by selecting "Disable Library Configuration", but then I get warnings about "By disabling library configuration, the user takes on the responsbility of configuring the classpath appropriately using alternate means". Any help appreciated!

Hey Lars,

You seem to be clicking "Import" instead of "New.." and then click "Add..." for the library.

Import imports existing user library definitions which are not the actual jars, but metadata about where the jars are.

I always recommend *against* using User libraries since they are not easily shared between multiple developers - thus its much better to use the native classpath with jars in the project OR use something like Maven to get the proper dependencies.

Luca, sorry - didn't notice it was initially posted elsewhere - moved it to JBoss Tools.
