<chapter id="Installation_Configuration">
<title>Installation/Configuration</title>
<para>
RESTEasy is installed and configured in different ways depending on which environment you are running in.
If you are running in WildFly, RESTEasy is already bundled and integrated completely
so there is very little you have to do. If you are running in a different environment, there is some manual
installation and configuration you will have to do.
</para>
<section id="resteasy_modules_in_wildfly">
<title>RESTEasy modules in WildFly</title>
<para>
In WildFly, RESTEasy and the JAX-RS API are automatically loaded into your deployment's classpath
if and only if you are deploying a JAX-RS application (as determined by the presence
of JAX-RS annotations). However, only some RESTEasy features are automatically loaded. See Table 3.1.
If you need any of those libraries which are not loaded automatically, you'll have to bring them in
with a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of your WAR file. Here's an example:
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jackson-provider" services="import"/>
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>]]></programlisting>
<para>The <literal>services</literal> attribute must be set to "import" for modules that have default providers
in a META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers file.
</para>
<para>
To get an idea of which RESTEasy modules are loaded by default when JAX-RS services are deployed, please
see the table below, which refers to a recent WildFly ditribution patched with the current RESTEasy
distribution. Clearly, future and unpatched WildFly distributions might differ a bit in terms of modules
enabled by default, as the container actually controls this too.

Not all RESTEasy modules are bundled with WildFly. For example,
resteasy-fastinfoset-provider and resteasy-wadl are not included among the
modules listed in <xref linkend="resteasy_modules_in_wildfly"/>. If you want
to use them in your application, you can include them in your WAR as you would if you were
deploying outside of WildFly. See <xref linkend="standalone_resteasy"/> for more information.

<section id="upgrading-wildfly">
<title>Upgrading RESTEasy within WildFly</title>
<para>
RESTEasy is bundled with WildFly, but you may want to upgrade RESTEasy in WildFly to the latest version. The RESTEasy
distribution comes with a zip file called resteasy-jboss-modules-<version>.zip. Unzip this file
within the modules/system/layers/base/ directory of the WildFly distribution. This will configure WildFly
to use new versions of the modules listed in <xref linkend="resteasy_modules_in_wildfly"/>.

<section>
<title>Deploying a RESTEasy application to WildFly</title>
<para>
RESTEasy is bundled with WildFly and completely integrated as per the requirements of Java EE.
You can use it with EJB and CDI and you can rely completely on WildFly to scan for and deploy your JAX-RS services and providers.
All you have to provide is your JAX-RS service and provider classes packaged
within a WAR either as POJOs, CDI beans, or EJBs.
A simple way to configure an application is by simply providing an empty web.xml file.
You can of course deploy any custom servlet, filter
or security constraint you want to within your web.xml, but none of them are required:

Since we're not using a <servlet-mapping> element, we must define a

the <classname>javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath</classname> annotation. If you return any empty set for classes and singletons,
which is the behavior inherited from <classname>Application</classname>, your WAR will
be scanned for resource and provider classes as indicated by the presence of JAX-RS annotations.

<title>Deploying to other servlet containers</title>
<para>
If you are using RESTEasy outside of WildFly, in a standalone servlet container like Tomcat or Jetty, for example,
you will need to include the appropriate RESTEasy jars in your WAR file. You will need the core classes
in the resteasy-jaxrs module, and you may need additional facilities like the resteasy-jaxb-provider module.
We strongly suggest that you use Maven to build your WAR files as RESTEasy is split into
a bunch of different modules:
</para>
<programlisting><![CDATA[
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jaxrs</artifactId>
<version>${resteasy.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jboss.resteasy</groupId>
<artifactId>resteasy-jaxb-provider</artifactId>
<version>${resteasy.version}</version>
</dependency>
]]></programlisting>
<para>
You can see sample Maven projects in
<ulink url="https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy-examples">https://github.com/resteasy/resteasy-examples</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
If you are not using Maven, you can include the necessary jars by hand. If you download
RESTEasy (from <ulink url="http://resteasy.jboss.org/downloads.html">http://resteasy.jboss.org/downloads.html</ulink>,
for example) you will get a file like resteasy-jaxrs-<version>-all.zip.
If you unzip it you will see a lib/ directory that contains the libraries needed by RESTEasy.
Copy these, as needed, into your /WEB-INF/lib directory. Place your JAX-RS annotated class resources and providers
within one or more jars within /WEB-INF/lib or your raw class files within /WEB-INF/classes.
</para>
<section>
<title>Servlet 3.0 containers</title>
<para>
RESTEasy uses the <literal>ServletContainerInitializer</literal> integration interface in Servlet 3.0 containers
to initialize an application, automatically scanning for resources and providers. To enable automatic
scanning, you must also include the <literal>resteasy-servlet-initializer</literal> artifact in your WAR
file as well:
</para>

</section>
<section>
<title>Older servlet containers</title>
<para>
The <literal>resteasy-servlet-initializer</literal> artifact will not work in Servlet versions older than
3.0. You'll then have to manually declare the RESTEasy servlet in your WEB-INF/web.xml file of your WAR project,
and you'll have to use an <classname>Application</classname> class (see <xref linkend="javax.ws.rs.core.Application"/>)
which explicitly lists resources and providers. For example:

This section is pretty much deprecated if you are using a Servlet 3.0 container or higher. Skip it if

The initialization of RESTEasy can be performed within a ServletContextListener instead of within the
Servlet. You may need this if you are writing custom Listeners that need to interact with RESTEasy at boot
time. An example of this is the RESTEasy Spring integration that requires a Spring ServletContextListener.
The org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap class is a ServletContextListener that
configures an instance of an ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry. You can obtain instances of a
ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry from the ServletContext attributes
org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory and org.jboss.resteasy.spi.Registry. From these instances you
can programmatically interact with RESTEasy registration interfaces.

The downside of running RESTEasy as a Servlet is that you cannot have static resources like .html and .jpeg
files in the

not
