[Resteasy-developers] returning JSPs as response

[Gregor J. <gr...@ja...>]

Hi there,

I am trying to deliver jsp pages via resteasy. After some search in the web it seems to me that there is an option for this in jersey, but not in resteasy.
I am aware that resteasy integrates with seam and spring - but both are too heavy weight to be included only for the sake of delivering simple JSPs.

I have found an interesting approach: http://code.google.com/p/htmleasy/

Simple, small library providing this feature. Unfortunately it doesn't work with resteasy 3.0 (beta-6).

This class implements the MessageBodyWriter: http://code.google.com/p/htmleasy/source/browse/trunk/src/main/java/com/googlecode/htmleasy/provider/ViewWriter.java 
This class includes the jsp: http://code.google.com/p/htmleasy/source/browse/trunk/src/main/java/com/googlecode/htmleasy/View.java

...but it ends up in an infinitive recursive stacktrace.

I know that this is not an resteasy problem - but it would be great to be able to return JSPs without introducing other technologies. 

Can someone take a quick look at those two classes and give me a hint what the problem might be..?
It might be something easy to fix..

Second, wouldn't that be something to include into resteasy in a future release?

Thanks.

Gregor
