Jersey hello world gives 404
java, jersey, tomcat
Solution
The problem has been fixed and this is how I did it.
I removed the jersey .jar files from the build path and replaced them in the `WEB-INF\lib` folder and everything worked.
Problem
I have the following code in my java class ``` import javax.ws.rs.*; import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType; @Path("/hello") public class Hello { //This method is called is TEXT_PLAIN is request @GET @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN) public String sayPlainTextHello(){ return "Hello World"; } //this method is called if TEXT_XML is requested @GET @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_XML) public String sayXMLHello(){ return "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>"+"<Hello> Hello World"+"</hello>"; } //this method is called if HTML is requested @GET @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML) public String sayHtmlHello(){ return "<html>"+"<title>"+"hello jersey"+"</title>"+"<body><h1>"+"hello World!!"+"</body></h1>"+"</html>"; } } ``` I compiled it and exported it as a .WAR file , when I type http://127.0.0.1/test_server/hello I get a 404 . I tried it in WTP, cURL they all return 404.. I'm using tomcat 7.0.26 Note: I am running Tomcat on port 80, and other servlets respond as expected. web.xml config ``` <display-name>Jersey_Test</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>Hello</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.example.service</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> ``` The following URL gives me Http status 500 ``` http://localhost/Jersey_Test/rest/hello java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer ```
