Rest Service on Wildfly PathParam empty

jakarta-ee, java, jax-rs, jersey, rest

Solution

The import you use for the `PathParam` is:

import javax.websocket.server.PathParam;

This should be the following one:

import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;

Problem

I am building a REST Service using JEE 7 and deploying it on WildFLy 8. Everything seems to be working as it should except for the `PathParam` which is not. My code is as follows: web.xml: ``` <?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" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" version="3.0"> </web-app> ``` JaxRsActivator.java: ``` package nl.noread.tracker.rest; import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath; import javax.ws.rs.core.Application; @ApplicationPath("/") public class JaxRsActivator extends Application { /* class body intentionally left blank */ } ``` UserService: ``` package nl.noread.tracker.rest; import nl.noread.tracker.domain.Location; import nl.noread.tracker.manager.LocationManager; import nl.noread.tracker.manager.UserManager; import javax.ejb.EJB; import javax.ejb.LocalBean; import javax.ejb.Stateless; import javax.websocket.server.PathParam; import javax.ws.rs.GET; import javax.ws.rs.Path; import javax.ws.rs.Produces; @Stateless @LocalBean @Path("/user") public class UserService { @EJB private LocationManager locationManager; @EJB private UserManager userManager; @GET @Path("location/{id}") @Produces("application/json") public Location getUserLocation(@PathParam("id") final String id) { System.out.println("id: " + id); return locationManager.getLastLocationForUser(userManager.getUserById(1)); } } ``` `Location` is a POJO class. When I call this service using the url `/user/location/test` the following output is produced: The rest service return this JSON data: ``` {"latitude":52.389672,"longitude":4.840009,"timestamp":1400237665000} ``` This is printed on the stdout: ``` 09:52:05,041 INFO [stdout] (default task-10) id: ``` When I debug this I notice that `id` is an empty string while I expect it to be `"test"`. Does anyone have any insight on this issue?
