Set up a development environment for JAX-RS applications

The application server provides command-line tools to develop web services clients and implementations based on the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) specification.

Before setting up a development environment, install WebSphere Application Server and add JAX-RS libraries to the class path definition.

For development environment setup...

cd /profile_root/server/bin
. ./setupCmdLine.sh
export PATH=$WAS_PATH:$PATH

For Windows, we can set WAS_USER_SCRIPT to...

profile_root\<application_server>\bin\setupCmdLine.bat

...which has the same effect as running the setupCmdLine command.
