It so happens that in a few of the apps I work on here in Netflix we use Jersey libraries inside a Tomcat container. As such I use the JSR annotations a lot safe in the knowledge that Jersey will take care of all the plumbing work and deal with routing and serialization/deserialization so I […]

If you read some of my posts dealing with dependency injection in Java you have probably figured it out (and I even stated it in clear) that I use Netflix Governator’s a lot. Especially as I revealed in one of my previous posts because Google Guice doesn’t support out of the box the likes of […]
