jersey2-akka-java

An example asynchronous REST API written in Java using Jersey 3 (🤷🏼‍♂️) and Akka

Key concepts

• Instantiating an Akka ActorSystem at server startup and injecting it into each request
• Fulfilling an asynchronous Jersey REST service invocation using Akka actors

How to run the example

1. Clone this repository
2. Run mvn cargo:run
3. Visit http://localhost:9090/examples/doubler/2 via curl or your favorite browser

The application uses the Cargo Maven plugin to run Apache Tomcat 10.1.43, which provides full support for Jakarta EE and modern Java versions.

Note: The legacy mvn tomcat7:run command is still available but uses the older Tomcat 7.0.47 which has compatibility issues with modern Jakarta EE libraries and may not work correctly.

Prerequisites

• JDK 17.x
• Maven 3.x
