A simple Jersey REST Service API explains the concepts for sub resources

Download and import the project as existing Maven Project, and do a run on server (Tomcat)

This Project explains how to make use of the sub resources concept in rest e.g - http://localhost:8080/jersey-rest-subResources/jerseyWebApp/student/{studentId}/address/{addressId}

Student and Address are different models and REST helps us to classifies them in an orderly fashion and gives an option to access a sub resources inside a parent resource service

@Path("/{id}/address")

// Sub Resource, calling another Resource Service for servicing in pathParam in the Parent service

public AddressService getAddressService() {

	return new AddressService();

}
