Server-Sent Event with Jersey and weblogic - rest

Question

I am experimenting with server sent event. Am following this link https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/user-guide.html#d0e8376. When I make request to the resource representing Server Sent Event, I get 500 Internal server error.
According to following error, I have to register the body writer for org.glassfish.jersey.media.sse.EventOutput. But, how to do it?

Answer 1

Here is solution for my own question.
To register SseFeature, getSingletons method should be overridden in Application derived class, as show in below code.
#javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath("webresources")
public class ApplicationConfig extends Application {
//....
#Override
public Set<Object> getSingletons() {
Set<Object> singletons = super.getSingletons();
if(singletons == null){
singletons=new java.util.HashSet<Object>();
}
singletons.add(new SseFeature());
return singletons;
}
//....
}

Answer 2

to use jersey latest version ( jersey 2.8 ) we should get rid of com.sun.jersey.api
Jersey APIs are now in org.glassfish.jersey package.
I suggest you to go through the following post and resolve the issues
check the update in question and comments
NoClassDefFoundError ProcessingException while migrating from jersey 1.x to jersey 2.x ( 2.8 )
