new-jersey
This is a simple example of how to use Jersey to dispatch manually to JAX-RS annotated classes, outside a servlet container.
This might be valuable in situations where you have some serialized representation of HTTP calls, but not running within a servlet container, and you want to dispatch to the JAX-RS annotated classes directly without starting up a servlet container and taking on the overhead of extra HTTP calls. Instead of writing a monolithic controller that needs to handle all possible method calls, you can reuse the JAX-RS annotations and dispatch manually through Jersey as the controller. This also avoids a dual-maintenance problem over time, where adding new JAX-RS annotated classes to an existing application would require corresponding code changes in the monolithic controller.
The project is called New Jersey, like the U.S. state, because I am clever.
