MIMEParsingException in REST

Question

I have a question about MIMEParsingException. I use Java EE 6 with NetBeans 6.8. I write a simple REST web service in Java to print "hello world", it runs well. Then I write a REST web services client (Java Main Class) to test REST :

public class HelloWorldClient {

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {
    ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
    Client client = Client.create(config);
    WebResource service = client.resource(getBaseURI());
    String xml = service.path("resources").path("helloworld").accept(MediaType.TEXT_XML).get(String.class);
    System.out.println(xml);
}

private static URI getBaseURI() {
    return UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldApplication").build();
}

}

It complies without error, but when I run it, it throws MIMEParsingException at this line : Client client = Client.create(config);

Exception in thread "main" com.sun.jersey.spi.service.ServiceConfigurationError: jersey-client-components: A dependent class, org/jvnet/mimepull/MIMEParsingException, of the class com.sun.jersey.multipart.impl.MultiPartReader implementing the provider class java.lang.Object is not found.

Who can resolve this problem ? Thanks a lot.

You're missing a dependency:

Non-maven developers require:

mimepull.jar, jersey-multipart.jar
