Wildfly Swarm JAXRSArchive add webapp directory

Question

I'm trying to add webapp folder with static HTML pages to JAXRSArchive with Wildfly Swarm. But unfortunately it was not successful. How can I do that?

Answer 1

Copy all your static files in src/main/webapp and in you main method add the call staticContenet as follows

public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
    Swarm container = new Swarm();
    JAXRSArchive jaxrsDeployment = ShrinkWrap.create(JAXRSArchive.class);
    jaxrsDeployment.addAsLibrary(container.createDefaultDeployment());
    jaxrsDeployment.addAllDependencies();
    jaxrsDeployment.staticContent();
    container.start();
    container.deploy(jaxrsDeployment);

Answer 2

Can you elaborate on why you need a custom main()?

The preferred option is to not use a custom main(), or if you must have a custom main() to not customize the deployment.

You can just call Swarm.deploy() and it will create a default deployment, which if your project is of type war, will work fine

Answer 3

This question is outdated. But I post this solution for those who run into the same issue.

The problem might happen if you're using JAX-RS without specifying @ApplicationPath.

By default JAX-RS listens to the root / of your app and overrides standard mapping.

In this case you have to add configuration like this:

import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Application;

@ApplicationPath("/api")
public class JaxRSConfiguration extends Application {
}

This will prefix all your JAX-RS endpoints with /api and let you work with static content.
