Jersey setup on app engine

Question

I recently added jersey to my app engine project, everything works great on my local machine but when I try to access the page on the deployed site I get errors. I think I might be including an unsupported class, but I don't think I'm using any. Most of my code is an exact copy from this guide to setting up jQuery upload

Here is my code:

@GET
@Path("/url")
public Response getCallbackUrl() {
  /* this is /_ah/upload and it redirects to its given path */
  String url = blobstoreService.createUploadUrl("/rest/file");
  return Response.ok(new FileUrl(url), MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).build();
}

web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey</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.thedailycaption</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
           <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
         <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jersey</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

here is the error I am getting:

Answer 1

You need to add

<init-param>
    <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.feature.DisableWADL</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>

to web.xml

This prevents classes that use reflection, which is not allowed on app engine.
