RESTful Web Services from Patterns Wizard: Specify Resource Classes (Simple Root)

In this panel of the RESTful Web Services from Patterns Wizard, you specify the resource classes.

This panel is for a simple RESTful root resource class with GET and PUT methods using Java API for RESTful Web Service (JSR-311). This pattern is useful for creating a simple HelloWorld service and wrapper services for invoking WSDL-based web services. If you need a more sophisticated pattern, press the Back button and select the Container-Item or Client Controlled Container-Item pattern.

This panel contains the following fields, which specify the class name, URI, and representation type of the resource.

• Project. The NetBeans IDE project containing this RESTful service. The value is generated by the IDE.
• Location. The parent directory inside the NetBeans IDE project that contains the RESTful service. By default this is the Source Packages directory.
• Resource Package. The package containing the RESTful service classes. Select from a drop-down list of packages or type the name of a new package. These packages are in the directory specified in the Location field.
• Path. The path, passed as an argument of the @Path annotation. By default the Path is "generic." The default Path annotation is therefore @Path("generic").
• Class Name. Name of the resource class. Default name is GenericResource.
• MIME Type. MIME type of RESTful service requests and responses, passed as arguments of the @Produces and @Consumes annotations. The default MIME type is application/xml. Therefore the default @Produces and @Consumes annotations are @Produces("application/xml") and @Consumes("application/xml").
• Representation Class. Class of the representation of the service class instance returned by a get method. Default class is java.lang.String.
