Creating RESTful Webservice in CQ5,AEM

I want to host restful webservice from CQ5. Basically the intention is to expose all the users present in CQ5 to external systems based on some parameters like modified date, user state etc. I went through https://chanchal.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/using-jax-rs-and-jersey-to-write-restful-services-in-osgi-apache-felix-adobe-cq5aem/ as I could find only this post online, but as I am a beginner I couldn't implement it. Need guidance in implementing such RESTful webservice in CQ5

Couldn't get the REST webservices working with AEM/CQ5. Even after installing the packages for JAXB for CQ5. It seems like sling overrides the resolving before it goes to the JAXB annotation handler. Due to lack to time had to implement an alternative approach where CQ5 will be timely writing the json data to an shared location as json file and the third party applications will fetch the files from there. This will however impact the performace as schedulers are to be written and also it's not a recommended approach but still it will work in my scenario. Thanks all for helping me.

CQ5 is based on Apache Sling which is inherently RESTful, so you don't usually need additional libraries. In your case (and unless the users info is already available as Sling resources, I don't remember if that's the case) implementing a Sling ResourceProvider is enough to provide a browseable RESTful representation of those resources. See the Sling docs for more info, they point to a simple PlanetResourceProvider as a minimal example.
