You can use the administrative console to list all the Java™ API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) providers, identify, and modify the selected JAX-RS provider.
About this task
WebSphere® Application Server traditional V9 provides four options for JAX-RS provider. The default JAX-RS provider on the version 9 is Apache CXF-based JAX-RS 2.0. To switch among different JAX-RS providers by using administrative console, you need to complete the following steps.
