Step 1: Set Up IntelliJ IDEA

1. Download and Install IntelliJ IDEA: Visit the JetBrains website to download IntelliJ IDEA Community or Ultimate edition based on your preference. Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

2. Create a New Java Project:

   • Open IntelliJ IDEA and select "Create New Project" from the welcome screen.
   • Choose "Java" from the list of project types and click "Next."
   • Configure your project settings (e.g., project name, location) and click "Finish" to create the project.

Step 2: Add Jersey Dependency

1. Open pom.xml:

   • In the project view, locate the pom.xml file under your project's root directory.
   • Double-click on pom.xml to open it in the editor.

2. Add Jersey Dependency:

   • Inside the <dependencies> section of the pom.xml file, add the following dependency for Jersey:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
       <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
       <version>2.35</version>
   </dependency>

   Make sure to save the changes (Ctrl + S or Cmd + S).

Step 3: Create a JAX-RS Resource Class

1. Create a New Java Class:

   • Right-click on your source folder in the Project view.
   • Choose "New" -> "Java Class" from the context menu.
   • Name the class HelloWorldResource and click "OK."

2. Add Resource Class Code:

   • Copy and paste the provided HelloWorldResource.java code into the newly created class file.

Step 4: Add Additional Methods to HelloWorldResource

import javax.ws.rs.*;
import javax.ws.rs.core.*;

@Path("/hello")
public class HelloWorldResource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getHello() {
        return "Hello, World!";
    }

    @GET
    @Path("/{name}")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getHelloWithName(@PathParam("name") String name) {
        return "Hello, " + name + "!";
    }

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response postMessage(String message) {
        // Logic to process the received message
        return Response.status(Response.Status.CREATED)
                .entity("Received message: " + message)
                .build();
    }

    @PUT
    @Path("/{id}")
    @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response putMessage(@PathParam("id") String id, String message) {
        // Logic to update the message with the given ID
        return Response.ok("Updated message with ID " + id + ": " + message).build();
    }

    @DELETE
    @Path("/{id}")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public Response deleteMessage(@PathParam("id") String id) {
        // Logic to delete the message with the given ID
        return Response.ok("Deleted message with ID " + id).build();
    }
}

Step 5: Test the Additional HTTP Verbs

1. POST Request: Use a tool like Postman to send a POST request to http://localhost:8080/your-app-context/hello with a plain text message in the request body. You should receive a response indicating that the message was received.

2. PUT Request: Similarly, send a PUT request to http://localhost:8080/your-app-context/hello/{id} with a plain text message in the request body. Replace {id} with an actual ID value. You should receive a response indicating that the message was updated.

3. DELETE Request: Send a DELETE request to http://localhost:8080/your-app-context/hello/{id}. Replace {id} with the ID of the message you want to delete. You should receive a response indicating that the message was deleted.

Step 6: Configure Jersey Servlet

1. Create a New Java Class for Configuration:

   • Right-click on your source folder in the Project view.
   • Choose "New" -> "Java Class" from the context menu.
   • Name the class AppConfig and click "OK."

2. Add Configuration Code:

   • Copy and paste the provided AppConfig.java code into the newly created class file.

3. Create Servlet Configuration:

   • Right-click on the AppConfig class and select "Create 'AppConfig'".
   • In the dialog, choose "Create Servlet 3.0 'web.xml'" and click "OK."

Step 7: Run the Application

1. Run Configuration:

   • Right-click on the AppConfig class.
   • Choose "Run 'AppConfig.main()'".

2. Verify Application Startup:

   • Look for console output indicating that the application has started successfully.

Step 8: Test the RESTful Web Service

1. Use REST Client:

   • Open a web browser or a REST client tool like Postman.

2. Send HTTP Requests:

   • Send GET requests to http://localhost:8080/your-app-context/hello and http://localhost:8080/your-app-context/hello/{name} to test the GET methods.
   • Send POST, PUT, and DELETE requests to appropriate endpoints to test the corresponding methods.

3. Verify Responses:

   • Verify that you receive the expected responses for each request.
