Developing MySQL-Backed Applications with Netbeans and Java RESTful Web Services

Yesterday I gave a webinar which talked about how to leverage the latest version of the Netbeans IDE to develop RESTful Web Services and clients deployed on Glassfish with MySQL. The talk gave an overview of the design process for a sample RESTful Pet Catalog service using JAX-R, and discussed how to build 3 sample clients for the Pet Catalog service,  one using the Dojo AJAX framework , one using Comet and one using JavaFX.

JAX-RS provides a standardized API for building RESTful web services in Java. Central to the RESTful architecture is the concept of resources identified by universal resource identifiers (URIs). The API  provides a set of annotations which you can add to Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs)  to expose web resources identified by URIs

Dojo – An open-source DHTML toolkit written in JavaScript. The Dojo Toolkit includes many utilities that go beyond Ajax. For example, the dojox.comet module simplifies programming Comet applications.

Comet – Techniques that enable a server to push data to client browsers through an HTTP open line of communication.
