    <para>
        RESTEasy is installed and configured in different ways depending on which environment you are running in.
        If you are running in WildFly, RESTEasy is already bundled and integrated completely
        so there is very little you have to do. If you are running in a different environment, there is some manual
        installation and configuration you will have to do.

        <title>RESTEasy modules in WildFly</title>
        <para>
            In WildFly, RESTEasy and the JAX-RS API are automatically loaded into your deployment's classpath
            if and only if you are deploying a JAX-RS application (as determined by the presence
            of JAX-RS annotations). However, only some RESTEasy features are automatically loaded. See Table 3.1.
            If you need any of those libraries which are not loaded automatically, you'll have to bring them in
            with a jboss-deployment-structure.xml file in the WEB-INF directory of your WAR file.  Here's an example:
        </para>
        <programlisting><![CDATA[
<jboss-deployment-structure>
    <deployment>
        <dependencies>
            <module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jackson-provider" services="import"/>
        </dependencies>
    </deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>]]></programlisting>
        <para>The <literal>services</literal> attribute must be set to "import" for modules that have default providers
            in a META-INF/services/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers file.
        </para>
        <para>
            To get an idea of which RESTEasy modules are loaded by default when JAX-RS services are deployed, please
            see the table below, which refers to a recent WildFly ditribution patched with the current RESTEasy
            distribution. Clearly, future and unpatched WildFly distributions might differ a bit in terms of modules
            enabled by default, as the container actually controls this too.

	        <para>
	            RESTEasy is bundled with WildFly, but you may want to upgrade RESTEasy in WildFly to the latest version.  The RESTEasy
                distribution comes with a zip file called <code><![CDATA[resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final.zip]]></code>.  Unzip this file
	            within the <![CDATA[modules/system/layers/base/]]> directory of the WildFly distribution.  This will configure WildFly
	            to use new versions of the modules listed in <xref linkend="resteasy_modules_in_wildfly"/>.
	        </para>
            <para>
                To build the <code><![CDATA[resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final.zip]]></code>, enter the <code>jboss-modules</code>
                directory of the project, and run the following Maven command:
                <programlisting><![CDATA[$ mvn install]]></programlisting>
                It will start to build the modules and finally it will produce the zip file inside "target" directory:
                <programlisting><![CDATA[$ pwd
resteasy/jboss-modules
$ ls target/*.zip
target/resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final-mavenized.zip
target/resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final.zip
]]></programlisting>
            </para>
            <para>
                To use the zip file, you need to copy it into Wildfly's "modules" directory:
                <programlisting><![CDATA[$ pwd
wildfly
$ ls
LICENSE.txt       bin               domain            standalone
README.txt        copyright.txt     jboss-modules.jar welcome-content

]]></programlisting>
            </para>
            <para>
                Use the following step to copy and extract the modules zip into Wildfly modules directory:
                <programlisting><![CDATA[
$ cp ~/works/resteasy/jboss-modules/target/resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final.zip \
modules/system/layers/base/
$ cd modules/system/layers/base
$ unzip resteasy-jboss-modules-3.15.6.Final.zip
...]]></programlisting>
                With the above process, the RESTEasy modules are upgraded inside Wildfly.

        <title>Deploying a RESTEasy application to WildFly</title>
        <para>
            RESTEasy is bundled with WildFly and completely integrated as per the requirements of Java EE.
            You can use it with EJB and CDI and you can rely completely on WildFly to scan for and deploy your JAX-RS services and providers.
            All you have to provide is your JAX-RS service and provider classes packaged
            within a WAR either as POJOs, CDI beans, or EJBs.
            A simple way to configure an application is by simply providing an empty web.xml file.
            You can of course deploy any custom servlet, filter
            or security constraint you want to within your web.xml, but none of them are required:

        RESTEasy has two mutually exclusive mechanisms for retrieving configuration parameters
        (see <xref linkend="configuration_switches"/>).
        The classic mechanism depends predominantly on context-params and init-params. Alternatively,
        the Eclipse MicroProfile Config project
        (<ulink url="https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config">https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-config</ulink>)
        provides a flexible parameter retrieval mechanism that  RESTEasy will use if the necessary
        dependencies are available. See <xref linkend="configuring_mp_config"/> for more about that. If 
        they are not available, it will fall back to the classic mechanism.

        <title>RESTEasy with MicroProfile Config</title>
        <para>
            In the presence of the Eclipse MicroProfile Config API jar and an implementation
            of the API (see <xref linkend="configuring_mp_config"/>), RESTEasy will use the facilities
            of MicroProfile Config for accessing configuration properties (see <xref linkend="configuration_switches"/>). 
            MicroProfile Config offers to both RESTEasy users and RESTEasy developers a great deal of
            flexibility in controlling runtime configuration.	
        </para>
        <para>
            In MicroProfile Config, a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> represents a <classname>Map&lt;String, String&gt;</classname>
            of property names to values, and a <classname>Config</classname> represents a sequence of <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s,
            ordered by priority. The priority of a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> is given by an ordinal (represented by an
            <classname>int</classname>), with a higher value indicating a higher priority. For a given property name, the
            <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s are searched in order until a value is found.
        </para>
        <para>
            MicroProfile Config mandates the presence of the following <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s:
        </para>
        <orderedlist>
            <listitem>a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> based on System.getProperties() (ordinal = 400)</listitem>

            <listitem>a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> for each META-INF/microprofile-config.properties file on the ClassPath,

        </orderedlist>
        <para>
            Note that a property which is found among the System properties and which is also in the System environment will be assigned
            the System property value because of the relative priorities of the <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s.
        </para>
        <para>
            The set of <classname>ConfigSources</classname> is extensible. For example, smallrye-config
            (<ulink url="https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-config">https://github.com/smallrye/smallrye-config</ulink>),
            the implementation of the MicroProfile Config specification currently used by RESTEasy, adds, among others,
            the following kinds of <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s:
        </para>
        <orderedlist>
            <listitem><classname>PropertiesConfigSource</classname> creates a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> from a
            Java <classname>Properties</classname> object or a Map&lt;String, String&gt; object or a properties file
            (referenced by its URL) (default ordinal = 100).</listitem>
            <listitem><classname>DirConfigSource</classname> creates a <classname>ConfigSource</classname> that will look into a directory
            where each file corresponds to a property (the file name is the property key and its textual content is the property value).
            This <classname>ConfigSource</classname> can be used to read configuration from Kubernetes ConfigMap (default ordinal = 100).</listitem>
        </orderedlist>
        <para>
            These can be registered programmatically by using an instance of <classname>ConfigProviderResolver</classname>:
        </para>
        <programlisting>
Config config = new PropertiesConfigSource("file:/// ...");
ConfigProviderResolver.instance().registerConfig(config, getClass().getClassLoader());
        </programlisting>
        <para>where <classname>ConfigProviderResolver</classname> is part of the Eclipse MicroProfile Config API.</para>
        <para>
            If the application is running in WildFly, then WildFly provides another set of <classname>ConfigSource</classname>s,
            as described in the "MicroProfile Config Subsystem Configuration" section of the WildFly Admin guide.
            You can find the most recent WildFly documentation at <ulink url="https://docs.wildfly.org/">https://docs.wildfly.org/</ulink>.

                The MicroProfile Config API is very simple. A <classname>Config</classname> may be obtained either

            <programlisting>
@Inject Config config;
            </programlisting>
            
            <para>
                Once a <classname>Config</classname> has been obtained, a property can be queried. For example,
            </para>

            <programlisting>
String s = config.getOptionalValue("prop_name", String.class).orElse("d'oh");
            </programlisting>
            
            <para>
                Now, consider a situation in which "prop_name" has been set by <code>System.setProperty("prop_name", "system")</code>

            <para>
                Then, since the system parameter <classname>ConfigSource</classname> has precedence over (has a higher ordinal than)
                <classname>ServletContextConfigSource</classname>, <code>config.getValue("prop_name", String.class)</code> will
                return "system" rather than "context".

            This section is pretty much deprecated if you are using a Servlet 3.0 container or higher.  Skip it if
            you are and read the configuration section above on installing in Servlet 3.0.
            The initialization of RESTEasy can be performed within a ServletContextListener instead of within the
            Servlet. You may need this if you are writing custom Listeners that need to interact with RESTEasy at boot
            time. An example of this is the RESTEasy Spring integration that requires a Spring ServletContextListener.
            The org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.ResteasyBootstrap class is a ServletContextListener that
            configures an instance of an ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry. You can obtain instances of a
            ResteasyProviderFactory and Registry from the ServletContext attributes
            org.jboss.resteasy.spi.ResteasyProviderFactory and org.jboss.resteasy.spi.Registry. From these instances you
            can programmatically interact with RESTEasy registration interfaces.

            The downside of running RESTEasy as a Servlet is that you cannot have static resources like .html and .jpeg
            files in the
            same path as your JAX-RS services. RESTEasy allows you to run as a Filter instead. If a JAX-RS resource is
            not
            found under the URL requested, RESTEasy will delegate back to the base servlet container to resolve URLs.
