Jersey 2 with MVC JSP Config

Getting a Jersey 2 webapp put together can be a challenge when you keep running into Jersey 1 configuration examples and tutorials from long ago.  It gets even more complicated when you add jsps for views.  There isn’t a single way to complete the configuration and setup, but this is one that “works for me”.

pom.xml:

<properties>
    <jerseyVer>2.25.1</jerseyVer>
</properties>

CustomResourceConfig.java:

import org.glassfish.jersey.media.multipart.MultiPartFeature;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig;
import org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.jsp.JspMvcFeature;

public class CustomResourceConfig extends ResourceConfig {
    public CustomResourceConfig() {
        packages("com.foo.test");
        //register(LoggingFilter.class);
        register(JspMvcFeature.class);
        register(MultiPartFeature.class);
        property(JspMvcFeature.TEMPLATE_BASE_PATH, "/WEB-INF/jsp");
    }
}

UiController:

import org.glassfish.jersey.server.mvc.Viewable;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;

@Path("/")
public class UiController {

    @GET
    public Viewable index() {
        return home();
    }

    @GET
    @Path("home")
    public Viewable home() {
        return new Viewable("/home.jsp");
    }

    @GET
    @Path("login")
    public Viewable login() {
        return new Viewable("/login.jsp");
    }
}

WEB-INF/jsp/home.jsp:

<h1>Hello World</h1>
