Build a Jakarta REST application from an empty directory, connect Open Liberty to Maven's lifecycle, test the running server, and package the verified result.
Reading this post, I can't refrain myself from thinking that, at IBM, making very simple things appearing damn complicated, still seems to be the paradigm.
First, this thing concerning the kernel selection where, following the documentation, would probably lead to strange licence related exceotions.
Then, looking ar the server.xml file, several questions come imlediatelly in the reader's mind:
1. Why is it necessary since is isn't mandated by specs and no other Jakarta EE server requires it ?
2. How is one supposed to know the names under which to define the features ? For example, how to guess that, to select Jakarta REST 4.0, one needs to add the resfulWS feature ?
You're almost answering the 2nd question by providing a link to the documentation. But instead of confirming the mapping, this link states that the name to be used is restfulWS-4, not restfulWS, like in your example. Confusing ...
In any case, as one who spent minimum 10 years of carreer dealing with different releases of WhebSphere, who's still having nighrmares from this period and who's trying hard to forget it, I'm not surprized to see that nothing seems to have changed, a coupke of decades later.

There’s surly constant room for improvement. One reason I’m sharing those posts. ;-)
