Xavier Coulon commented on JBIDE-17151:
---------------------------------------

[~ArunGupta], [~pmuir], [~maxandersen],

The goal of this redesign is to address the feedback [~ArunGupta] provided us with a few weeks ago (and fix some of the issues [~pmuir] reported... a long time ago :-/).

I submitted a mock-up for to provide users with a new JAX-RS Wizard that will allow for JAX-RS Resource classes creation, along with JAX-RS Activator creation if none already exists in the project (this is the second page of the wizard and it should be used only the first time the user creates a JAX-RS Resource). The first page of the wizard lets the user defined the {{@Path}} value on the type, and select the kind of JAX-RS Resource Methods skeleton she wants to have at the end of the process.

Please, let me know if the wizard looks complete, overloaded or if I missed something.
Thanks !

> The current wizard could be improved after feedback on JBIDE-13309, JBIDE-13310 and internal discussion:
> {quote}
> - Choosing the first wizard shows an option to edit "Web Service" and "Application Class Name" and have the same values. Why this value need to be entered twice and how is it used ?
> - web.xml is generated even though "Update web.xml" was not selected. Why can't ApplicationPath be used instead of web.xml anyway ?
> - Even in the generated web.xml, the mapped path is {{/*}}. This is not the recommended practice as none of the Servlets or other resources in the application would then be resolved correctly. The recommendation is to use something like {{/webresources}}, {{/resources}}, or {{/rest}} and have all the resources be accessed from there.
> - The generation of REST resource did not added JAX-RS facet to my project. Does it have to be manually added ? If yes, then why ?
> - Adding JAX-RS facet shows "Further configuration required" and require me to specify "JAX-RS Servlet class name". How is the user expected to know the class name ? This should not even be required for a Java EE 6 application.
> - In pure Java EE 6, there should be no need to ask that information anyway. Instead use {{@ApplicationPath}} to specify the base path of JAX-RS.
