I have created a Web service using Netbeans', JEE6 and Jersey - Webservice from Database feature. So my webservices can be accessed at: http://localhost:8080/SampleWS/listOfItems The above returns a list of items present in my DataBase. I am using RESTKit on iOS as a client to access this resource.
However, there are two things i would like to do:
1) I would like to restrict access to the above resource only to authenticated users. What is the way to do that?
2) I would also like to restrict only selected out of authorized users to invoke DELETE, PUT and CREATE commands.
Finally, NetBeans allows me to create WS from Database, entities and pattern. Can someone point me to a tutorial for creating a RESTfulwithout using any of the above? In other words, and for example, i would like to map GET, PUT/DELETE methods to mathematical functions like addition, multiplication etc.
