Setting up a development environment for JAX-RS applications

The application server provides command-line tools to develop web services clients and implementations that are based on the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) specification. You must set up your development environment before you start developing web services.

Before you begin

Before you can set up a web services development environment within WebSphere® Application Server, you must install WebSphere Application Server. For detailed information about installing the application server, read about installing your application server environment.

To develop JAX-RS applications, the JAX-RS libraries must be added to the class path definition. See the information for your assembly tools to understand how to include libraries on the class path for the JAX-RS application.
