Best practices
Share context data using ResteasyProviderFactory
ResteasyProviderFacory can be proved very handy when you want to share some data in various layers of application without passing them as method parameters
Exception handling using custom exception mapper
Build custom exception mappers to handle application specific handling of various exceptions
Enable gzip compression content encoding
JAX-RS Resteasy has automatic GZIP decompression support. Learn to use it.
JAX-RS RESTEasy Cache control with ETag example
ETags or entity tags are useful HTTP headers which can help in building a super fast application by minimizing the server load on system. ETag is set to the response to the client so a client can use various control request headers such as If-Match and If-None-Match for conditional requests. javax.ws.rs.core.Response.ResponseBuilder#tag() and javax.ws.rs.core.EntityTag are useful classes to work on ETags.

Can you please provide various ways of reading / posting big JSON data with RESTful webservices..
rajesh
what are you using for posting big JSON data on server side?
which one are you used queryParam or pathparam in serverside.
and you can read bigJSON data by google’ GSON library,
or you can write own parser.

Hi lokesh, i like java programming. java programming is my hobby.
i have stuk in some implementation.
i want to use rest service with hibernate.
i have two or more database.
is it right or best way implement this combination for performance wise?
or which design pattern should i folllow?
please reply
Lokesh Gupta
I didn’t get your question properly. What you are trying to achieve by two databases? Will they store same data or different data? What kind of data they will store? What are possible performance bottlenecks do you anticipate?
rajesh
hi lokesh lets assume i am going to develop a portal,in this portal,i have two or more database, 1st database contain user information and 2 nd database contain user’s data.
lets example. i have a webservice that provide user’s store data on server.
that’s service access by mobile.
one user can have multiple device so user can store data from different different device to server but user is one so i have created two database
one for user information(account management,billing functionality) and 2nd database is used for store user’s data.so if we have 3 user then we will create 4 database 1 database is used for store information of users and 3 database for user’s information.
i will store data form of table in pgsql.
so please tell me should i follow any design pattern?or or ORM tool.
please give me reply as soon as.
thanks
raj

Why are you creating separate databases? Whats problem in having single database with two or more tables? I am not able to understand what you are trying to achieve with multiple databases. If your view layer clients are different, then how it impacts your data stored in database?
rajesh
Hi lokesh,my intetation is for seprate-2 db for seprate-2 user.then use can take backup via web service of own db.lets assume i have developed one app that able to store own data on server.two user use simultaneous this app,so table name and structure is same.i can manage by userid field existing in table. that time i decided for seprate db.
is it not good?
Lokesh Gupta
In my view, you should not create multiple databases. Your app will be executed on server, and mostly they share lots of common data. It is not good idea to duplicate this data into multiple places.
Whenever an app is installed on server, it should create some of it’s own tables which will have unique information around this app only. Some table naming convention can be used e.g. TBL_AppID_MyTable. This way all apps will have some of common tables and some of their unique tables.
Every appuser must have authority/permissions only on common tables and it’s own tables. Other tables it must not even list/count/fetch or whatever.
During backup, you know which all tables you need to backup [common + starting with “TBL_AppID_”].

Hi guy, i am really appreciate your tutorials. could you create an article about authentication with web-service. my idea is that: if any user want to access url (esp. Resful web services), they must have authentication.
Thank.
Lokesh Gupta
This is already on top of list. Probably in this week itself, I will be posting something on authentication.
mankeomorakort
thank, it will be useful for me 🙂

That’s a good effort already !! Waiting for more such posts.
