CustomerResource.scala

@Path("/customers")
class CustomerResource {
  @GET
  @Produces(Array(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON))
  @Path("{id}")
  def getJson(@PathParam("id") id: Int) =
    "Id requested was: " + id.toString()
}

My eyes!

• @GET could be inferred from the get in the method name.
• The @Produces JSON could be inferred from the Json part of the method name.
• @Path("{id}") and @PathParam("id") could both be inferred from the name of the method parameter.

facepalm

this is java, right? you're lucky you don't have to specify @Get, @Path, etc somewhere in 300 lines of XML :)

Java, yeah. The more "modern" frameworks seem to be leaving XML behind in favour for Annotations/Attributes. One step forward, two steps back.
