github.com/dsyer/spring-boot-jersey @1.0.0.M1

This project provides Jersey autoconfiguration for a Spring Boot application. Feedback is more than welcome, especially in the form of pull requests.

Getting Started

Include this project as a dependency in a Spring Boot web application. If you are using a snapshot version you will need to build it locally first, or point your Maven settings at "http://repo.spring.io".

First create a Spring Boot application with @EnableAutoConfiguration:

@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

}

Then include a @Component of type ResourceConfig (from Jersey) that sets up the Jersey container, e.g.

@Component
public class JerseyConfig extends ResourceConfig {

    public JerseyConfig() {
        register(Endpoint.class);
    }

}

And then define your REST endpoints using Spring beans annotated with JAX-RS, e.g.

@Component
@Path("/hello")
public class Endpoint {

    @GET
    public String message() {
        return "Hello";
    }

}

That's it! Since the Endpoint is a Spring @Component its lifecycle is managed by Spring and you can @Autowired dependencies and inject external configuration with @Value. The Jersey servlet will be registered and mapped to "/*" by default. You can change the mapping by adding @ApplicationPath to your ResourceConfig.

Because it is a Spring Boot app you can run it from the main method or from an executable JAR. You can refer to the Jersey Sample for a detailed example (the sample is a deployable, executable WAR).
