Javalin: Any Plan to support Microprofile (https://microprofile.io) ?

[zoppello]

Hi,

I like very much the simplicity and the powerful of Javalin.
On the other side i think a great value, will be to add support for Microprofile ( https://microprofile.io ).

Is there any plan/idea to support this ??
Thanks in advance.

Welcome @zoppello. We already have an issue for this: https://github.com/tipsy/javalin/issues/292. I haven't had the time to look at it yet, but I would be happy to review if you want to create a PR.

Seems a read this a bit too quickly. MicroProfile and MicroMeter are not the same thing.

Could you elaborate on how Javalin would work with MicroProfile?

[zoppello]

Hi @tipsy i think that for Javalin an approach that could work would be to design a solution like the one present in recent Helidon ( https://helidon.io/#/ ) where there's a base framework ( Helidon SE ) and Helidon MP (Microprofile) built on top of it.

Micro profile essentially means support for JAXRS 2.0, CDI, and JSON-P

Thanks @zoppello, that makes it a bit clearer, but JAXRS and Javalin are sort of opposite approaches to building apps, how do you envision them working together?

[zoppello]

Hi @tipsy, i don't consider Javalin and JAXRS opposite approaches. My vision is that you it could be possible to build Microprofile support on top of Javalin base. So you give developers to choose the desired approach.

So in my opinion there should be a sort of Javalin-MP built on top of Javalin base.
Hope it's clear

@zoppello I don't really see how this will work, so I will close the issue. If you submit a PR or an example project I'll have a look.

Hi ,

I believe users can try to make use of https://www.smallrye.io/ which already contains an implementation and see if it works legal in Javalin.
