JAX-RS Client vs MicroProfile Rest Client - jax-rs

Where is the difference between a JAX-RS Client implementation like Apache CXF and the MicroProfile Rest Client?

The different clients implement different standards. The JAX-RS Client is implemented according to JSR 370 https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=370 while the other one implements the MicroProfile specification http://microprofile.io/project/eclipse/microprofile-rest-client.

Quarkus Jax-rs clients with external interfaces

I started playing around with Quarkus and its REST client. According to the documentation a Jax-RS annotated interface should be created and annotated further with #RegisterRestClient.
My issue is that I already have the JaxRS interfaces for the services I need to connect to, in an artifact provided by the server, which I can just import. Is there a way to use an already created external Jax-RS interface to create a service with? It seems so wrong to copy-paste the code for a perfectly good interface, when it has been so nicely served for me.
There's RestClientBuilder, which allows programmatic usage of JAX-RS interfaces. Assuming the JAX-RS interface is called HelloClient, you can do this:
HelloClient client = RestClientBuilder.newBuilder()
.baseUri(URI.create("http://localhost:8080"))
.build(HelloClient.class);

Validating JAX-RS resources and methods (IBM JAX-RS implementation) using bean validation on Websphere Application Server 8.5.5

I am using IBM JAX-RS implementation to develop my REST APIs. I am looking to include validation of resource method parameters using Bean Validation (annotations) support provided in JAX-RS 2.0. I know that Jersey implementation supports this feature (https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/bean-validation.html). Is there a similar support available with IBM JAX-RS implementation on WAS 8.5.5? If so could you please direct me to some tutorial on how to accomplish this?
I am specifically looking into enabling and configuring Bean Validation support along with its integration with IBM JAX-RS.
Yes, WebSphere (both traditional and Liberty) will support bean validation with JAX-RS. But I am not aware of any tutorials. The code in the Jersey document that you referenced will work with WebSphere's JAX-RS/BV implementation.
To enable JAX-RS and Bean Validation in Liberty, your server.xml must contain the following features:
<featureManager>
<feature>jaxrs-2.0</feature>
<feature>beanValidation-1.1</feature>
</featureManager>
As an alternative, you could include some feature that includes those features (like webProfile-7.0 or javaee-7.0, but that may get you more function than you want).
Then, if you have your application packaged as an EAR or WAR file, you can copy it into your server's dropins directory, start the server and you should be able to run the example (the default HTTP port is 9080).
This link provides additional information about developing and deploying JAX-RS applications in WebSphere Liberty:

Hope this helps,

WADL in a native JAX-RS application?

we used to Jersey (https://jersey.java.net/)as an implementation of JAX-RS. Now, we use native JAX-RS WebSphere 8.5.
Is there a way to automatically get WADL of the JAX-RS application?

SOAP 1.2 and SAML 2.0 Compatibility

We are currently designing the security of a system and planning to use claims based authorisation.
According to this wikipedia article, the SOAP binding is "SAML SOAP Binding (based on SOAP 1.1)"
In our solution we have Java, WCF and ASMX web services, some SOAP 1.1 and some 1.2.
Question is will sending a SAML 2.0 token across the various versions of SOAP and different technologies work? Does SAML require that we use SOAP 1.1?
Yes - The SAML SOAP binding (at least for Web SSO Profile) requires SOAP 1.1 for conformance. Section 3.2.2 "Protocol-Independent Aspects of the SAML SOAP Binding" of the SAML 2.0 Bindings doc notes: "Note this binding only supports the use of SOAP 1.1."
While you can try using newer versions of SOAP, there is no guarantee that you'll be interoperable with other 3rd Party implementations.
--Ian
What is the use case you are going to implement..? In most of the cases you can avoid "SAML SOAP Binding" and use WS-Trust with SAML Token Profile 1.1 - which supports claim based authorization - it does not depend on SOAP version...

axis2 vs spring-ws vs jersey

My friend asked to explain me what's the difference between Spring, axis2 and Jersey. Here I listed down a few differences that I'm aware of. Please comment/respond if you know more differences
Spring webservices:
A java web application with a servlet configured in
web.xml(org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet).
You can use spring annotated POJOs for creating web services
Supports both RESTful and SOAP based web services.
Since it’s a web application you can use http authentication mechanisms
for enabling security
Axis2:
The webservice application is a .aar file that will be deployed in
axis2.war
Use AXIOM for using non-primitive type arguments to web service calls
You can use JSR181 annotations to create webservices
You can use spring-dependency injection using axis2 extensions.
Supports both RESTful and SOAP based web services.
I guess you have to use ws-security implementation for
providing security
to your web services>
They claim hot deployment of webservices works but I haven’t seen
it working.
Jersey:
A regular web application with a servlet configured in web.xml.
Write custom message readers/writers for using
non-primitive type arguments to web
service calls
Since it’s a web application you can use http authentication mechanisms
for enabling security
Supports only RESTful implementation of web services
I have seen hot deployment working may be because it’s a web application
and the container can do hot
deployment
I'm not familiar with Jersey and Axis, but I can tell you something about Spring-WS.
You cannot use Spring-WS for restful webservices. Spring-WS is intended to be used for contract first webservices. You can however use the features of Spring 3.x and Spring-MVC for REST services.
As for authorization, you can easily wire in any sort of security (with Spring-Security for instance).
I'm a big fan of the 'automatic' (de) marshalling features of Spring-WS. Just annotate your methods with the correct types and it'll know what to do.
