JavaONE Warm Up - how to create Web-Services clients?Posted by felipegaucho on May 25, 2009 at 7:33 AM PDT
My latest experiments include an extension of the Footprint Project to provide a RESTful service for the management of the certificates and some features to manage conferences. Quite similar to JUGEvents or Event Brite, but using Glassfish technologies. During JavaONE I will be looking for a good client technology to connect to the brand new Footprint Service. It is a fast and reliable Jersey Web-Service running on top of Glassfish v2.1. The minimum set of features expected for its first release are:
So, if you are motivated about any Java front-end technologies

I won't be at JavaOne, but check out Pivot as a tool for building rich GUIs for RESTful apps. Pivot includes a library for interacting with REST services, which we refer to as "web queries". The Pivot tutorial includes an example of a basic REST client that talks to a Yahoo! Finance web service. It is described here:
http://cwiki.apache.org/PIVOT/stock-tracker.html
Web query Javadoc:

For more information, see the Pivot home page:

I should also add that I might be interested in working on something like this with you (time permitting, of course).
BTW, I tried to visit the Footprint service URL (http://fgaucho.dyndns.org:8080/footprint-service/wadl) but it times out.

hey, Pivot seems very nice.. What is its status ? How productive it is today ?
And, yes, if you want to create a Pivot demo on top of my service, I offer support and even changes in the service side to better provide the demo data.. please checkout the code of footprint and do evaluate if we have a deal :)
to checkout and run it out of the box:
1) checkout:https://footprint.dev.java.net/source/browse/footprint/
2) goto the footprint folder and run:
mvn clean install
3) the deployable EAR is in the footprint-service-ear/target folder..
* it only works for Glassfish .. if you want to deploy in another server, we need to adapt the deployment and persistence descriptors....
and thanks for the tips.. I will check the pivot now........

Pivot is still an incubator project, but it is stable. We're actually gearing up for a 1.2 release soon - all of the demos and tutorials on the Wiki are based on version 1.2.
I'll download Glassfish and get the Footprint source now.

I wasn't able to run the Maven build - I got "Failed to validate POM". We could attempt to track that down, but maybe it would be easiest for me to run against an existing server.
Does Footprint have a discussion forum I could join, for further discussion?

yes, please join the project as Observer and register yourself in our dev mailing list :
https://footprint.dev.java.net/
I have this server online:
http://fgaucho.dyndns.org:8080/footprint-service/application.wadl
it works (I use it every day), if you had problems it is probably firewall.. or other detail.....
