Library that contains common code for enhancing RESTFul Services with Manifest Data.
If you want to use Manifestor in your service, here is how Maven dependency should look like:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.eharmony</groupId>
<artifactId>manifestor</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>You can either use ManifestUtil directly inside your custom endpoint, or you can wire ApplicationInfoResource, if you have Dropwizard or Jersey web-service.
Usage example:
<!-- If you are using Dropwizard, or similar framework. -->
final Package currentPackage = getClass().getPackage();
final ApplicationInfoResource appInfoResource = new ApplicationInfoResource(currentPackage.getImplementationTitle());
environment.jersey().register(appInfoResource);
<!-- If your service is using Jersey then load the resource by including this inside the WEB-INF/web.xml -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jersey</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>manifestor</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Note that you will also need to wire the ApplicationInfoResource bean inside your application context XML,
so that you can specify the implementation title from there (which you can get from the manifest file itself).Manifest files are generally located under META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in your artifact (JAR, WAR, EAR), however they do not contain complete data and if you are using Maven for artifact creation, it can be easily enhanced with more entries like in the following example:
<!-- Example of embedding the Manifest inside JAR -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
</manifest>
</archive>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</finalName>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<!-- Example of embedding the Manifest inside WAR -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
