This is an example of a Rest embedded server in a java application using Jersey 2, Jetty, and Jackson. The 'rest-server' directory has the source code for the server. The 'rest-test' directory has a project to test the Rest interface.
To compile the server using Maven type mvn install in the 'rest-server' directory.
To run the server type java -jar target/rest-server-1.0.0.jar.
To compile and run the test project type mvn test in the 'rest-test' directory (for the tests to succeed the server must be running).
