Creating a Microserver plugin

As of v0.60 of Microserver, Microserver supports custom plugins or modules.

Creating a custom Plugin

Plugins implement the com.aol.micro.server.Plugin interface. It allows

• jax-rs configuration to be set (resources, packages etc)
• Spring configuration to be set (via Spring Configuration classes)
• Servlet related configuration (Servlets, Filters, Listeners etc)
• Webserver and jax-rs implementations to be configured
• Jackson properties and modules to be configured

Inside your plugin jar you should create the directory structure

META-INF/services/

Inside services add a file with the name

com.aol.micro.server.Plugin

And inside this file, add the full path to your implementation of Plugin (you may add multiple per jar or project).
