This is my first time using Eclipse, and is causing me to rage a lot.
I installed Tomcat 6.0, downloaded the Jersey libraries, and I followed the tutorials from : http://www.vogella.com/articles/REST/article.html#first_client
I created the Project Name as RestExample, and within that I have a package de.jay.jersey.first and within that I have a class HelloWorldResource, and here is what it looks like:
package de.jay.jersey.first;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
@Path("/hello")
public class HelloWorldResource {
// This method is called if TEXT_PLAIN is request
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String sayPlainTextHello() {
return "Hello Jersey";
}
// This method is called if XML is request
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
public String sayXMLHello() {
return "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" + "<hello> Hello Jersey" + "</hello>";
}
// This method is called if HTML is request
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public String sayHtmlHello() {
return "<html> " + "<title>" + "Hello Jersey" + "</title>"
+ "<body><h1>" + "Hello Jersey" + "</body></h1>" + "</html> ";
}
}
and my web.xml looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

</web-app>
ANd I am trying to use curl as:
curl http://localhost:8081/RestExample/rest/hello
Apache Tomcat/6.0.35 - Error report
HTTP Status 404 - /RestExample/rest/Hello
type Status re port
message /RestExample/rest/hello
de scription The requested resource (/RestExample/rest/hello) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.35The question is what should I change in the web.xml so that I can access that resource?
I tried RestExample/de.jay.jersey.first/rest/hello, and it still did not work. TOmcat is running without errors.
like the aticle says:
you try to specify the method path which you want to call
Check if your path have this bar '/' example: @Path('/path') in some cases this problem is only the missing bar!
I tried it with Tomcat 7.0 and it works fine:
web.xml
Browsed to http://localhost:8084/RestExample/rest/hello and it works ok
It took me a lot of time to figure out why it wasn't working for me inspite of looking all over the web for solution. The mistake I was making was that package names were not up to date to the new jersey api. Here's what updated package names should look like (Web.xml):
Notice that
<servlet-class>
and<param-name>
are different(updated) from vogella tutorial. It may not be the answer to this particular question but might help someone. I found it from here.If you are using Jersey 2.XX user ServletAdaptor instead. Like this,
