Put it all together (JavaFX 2.x Custom component, FXML, JAX-RS 2.0 client API)

In my last post, I wrote about how to make custom component compatible with FXML and how to use it in an application.
Before that, I had tested the client API of JAX-RS 2.0 (with JSON and XML serialization).
And now, when I’m putting them together, I can write a small JavaFX 2 application which consumes REST services.

1. The REST service
For the REST service, I have used the same service that I used for try the JAX-RS 2.0 client API.

2. The JAX-RS 2.0 client API
For the JAX-RS 2.0 client API, I have upgraded to Jersey 2.0-m07.
This version fixes the JERSEY-1143 issue and changes the way to declare JSON implementation.

The XML version 

protected List<Music> findArtistByName(String artistBeginBy){
          
          Client client = ClientFactory.newClient();
                  
          GenericType<List<Music>> listm = new GenericType<List<Music>>() {};
          
          List<Music> listMusic = client.target("http://localhost:8080/RESTfulServices/rs/ArtisteNameBeginningBy/{beginBy}")         
                         .pathParam("beginBy", artistBeginBy)
                         .request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
                         .get(listm);
          
          return listMusic;
      }  

The JSON version
For the JSON version of the client, I have used Jackson implementation.

protected List<Music> findArtistByName(String artistBeginBy){
           
          Client client = ClientFactory.newClient();
          
          client.configuration().register(new JacksonFeature());   
          
          ListMusic listMusic = client.target("http://localhost:8080/RESTfulServices/rs/ArtisteNameBeginningBy/{beginBy}")
                         .pathParam("beginBy", artistBeginBy)
                         .request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
                         .get(ListMusic.class); 
          
          if (listMusic==null){
              listMusic = new ListMusic();
          }
   
          return listMusic.getMusic();
       } 

3. The application

The application is based on the application that I wrote to show how to use a custom component with FXML.
I just have added one Table control to show the result of the query and called the REST service in handleSearchTextBoxSearchEvent method of the controller to fill the Table control.
