For those unfamiliar, Apache Shiro—a Java Security framework—performs authorization, authentication, and session management (along with many other functions) to help build more secure applications.
This post will show you how to use JAX-RS to build a simple Java REST application. JAX-RS is a set of interfaces so you’ll need to pick your implementation. In this post, we’ll be using Jersey—but you can use whatever implementation you prefer and none of these APIs are Jersey specific.
In OAuth 2.0, REST services are usually resource servers. In simple terms, they authenticate using an access token sent in the Authorization HTTP header, formatted as Authorization: Bearer .
For this tutorial you will need:
- Java 8+
- Apache Maven
- A free Okta Account
Create a New JAX-RS project
There are a few ways to create a new Maven-based project. I usually use my IDE, but you can also generate one on the command line. Whichever way you decide, start with a pom.xml
#java #apache maven #jersey #oauth 2 #jax rs #apache shiro
