# Bookmark Example

This example demonstrates how to use JPA in the backend. The example is based on bookmark example from the RESTful Web Services book, which was inspired by the http://delicious.com/ web service.

A bookmark web application is presented that is capable of maintaining users and their bookmarks.

## Contents

The example consists of four web resources implemented by the following:

`com.sun.jersey.samples.bookmark.resources.UsersResource`
  The users resource that returns a list of users.
`com.sun.jersey.samples.bookmark.resources.UserResource`
  The user resource that has userid, username, e-mail and password.
`com.sun.jersey.samples.bookmark.resources.BookmarksResource`
  The bookmarks resource that returns a list of bookmarks for actual user resource.
`com.sun.jersey.samples.bookmark.resources.BookmarkResource`
  The bookmark resource that has a bookmark uri and a long and short description.

The mapping of the URI path space is presented in the following table:

URI path | Resource class | HTTP methods
--- | --- | ---
/users/ | UsersResource | GET
/users/{userid} | UserResource | GET, PUT (used also for creating new users), DELETE
/users/{userid}/bookmarks | BookmarksResource | GET, POST
/users/{userid}/bookmarks/{bmid} | BookmarkResource | GET, PUT, DELETE

## Running the Example

Bookmark example runs on Glassfish 3.x application servers (http://glassfish.java.net) and needs a running JavaDB (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javadb/overview/index.html) instance for underlying data (it comes along with GlassFish).

Presuming, you have installed Glassfish 3.1 `AS_HOME` variable should point to your glassfish installation directory.

#### Building And Starting The Bookmark Service

If `.asadminpass` file is missing at your home directory, you will need to run the following command to get it created:

    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin login

You then build and run the example by

    mvn package
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin start-domain
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin start-database
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin create-jdbc-connection-pool \
             --datasourceclassname org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource \
             --restype javax.sql.DataSource \
             --property "portnumber=1527:password=REST:user=REST:serverName=localhost:databaseName=BookmarkDB:connectionAttributes=;create\=true" bookmarkPool
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin create-jdbc-resource --connectionpoolid bookmarkPool jdbc/bookmarkSample
    $AS_HOME/bin/asadmin deploy target/bookmark.war

Notice: On Windows: you might need to replace asadmin with asadmin.bat. Also, because it seems there are some issues with copy-pasting backslashes, you will also need to use the following one-liner instead of the above mentioned complex command:

    asadmin create-jdbc-connection-pool --datasourceclassname org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDataSource --restype javax.sql.DataSource --property "portnumber=1527:password=REST:user=REST:serverName=localhost:databaseName=BookmarkDB:connectionAttributes=;create\=true" bookmarkPool

and make sure you do not miss the backslash (\) in `create\=true` part.

#### Test Client Running

    mvn test -DargLine="-Djersey.test.containerFactory=com.sun.jersey.test.framework.spi.container.external.ExternalTestContainerFactory -DenableLogging -Djersey.test.port=8080" -Ptest
