JAX-RS Basics

This sample demonstrates a basic REST-based Web Services using JAX-RS (JSR-311). The REST server provides the following services:

A RESTful customer service is provided on URL http://localhost:9763/jaxrs_basic/services/customers/customerservice (say serviceURL). Users access this URI to operate on customer.
A HTTP GET request to URL ${serviceURL}/customers/123 returns a customer instance whose id is 123. The XML document returns the following:
```
<Customer>
   <id>123</id>
   <name>John</name>
</Customer>
```
A HTTP GET request to URL ${serviceURL}/orders/223/products/323 returns product 323 that belongs to order 223. The XML document returns the following:
```
<Product>
   <description>product 323</description>
   <id>323</id>
</Product>
```
A HTTP POST request to URL ${serviceURL}/customers with the following data adds a customer whose name is Jack.
```
<Customer>
   <name>Jack</name>
</Customer>
```
A HTTP PUT request to URL ${serviceURL}/customers with following data updates the customer instance whose id is 123.
```
<Customer>
   <id>123</id>
   <name>John</name>
</Customer>
```

The client code demonstrates how to send HTTP GET/POST/PUT/DELETE requests; whereas, the server code demonstrates how to build a RESTful endpoint through JAX-RS (JSR-311) APIs.
