Extending Core

AtomGraph Core is meant to be used as a base library for Linked Data Web applications. Follow these simple steps to get started:

• create a new Maven Web application

• add Core as dependency

• extend one of the Resource base class implementations, for example ResourceBase - it will serve as the root JAX-RS resource

• extend Application class if necessary

• register the Application class (either your own or from Core) in your project's webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml like this:

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>index</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
            <param-value>com.atomgraph.core.Application</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>index</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
