I'm trying to make a web-service with Tomcat and Eclipse using jersey library. This is my service class:
package com.gontuseries.university;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
@Path("/university")
public class UniversityRestWs {
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public String getHtmlUniversityInfo(){
return "<html><body>test</body></html>";
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String getTextUniversityInfo(){
return "test";
}
}
And this is file web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.gontuseries.university</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
When i test my service i get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer I downloaded jersey from https://jersey.java.net/download.html
Can someone help me? Thanks
We need to use provide build path to Eclipse. That must resolve issue.
Make sure it has access to all dependencies in: project -> properties -> development assembly -> add -> java build path entries --> maven dependency
jersey bundle dependency
If you are using maven, best few simple steps will work your application
I was getting this error in an Eclipse project that had previously worked fine, running on Tomcat 7.0. Eventually I solved it by removing the project from Tomcat and adding it back again.
For me the problem was that the server had no jars in the lib folder. Make sure it has access to all dependencies in: project -> properties -> development assembly -> add -> java build path entries.
Man, I had the same problem. I solve id adding the jersey-servlet-1.18.jar to the WEB-INF/lib. Then, this folder saw like this:
Remember, add all this jars to yout build-path
