Tomcat giving 500 error on page load

java tomcat jersey

23,110

Solution 1

Best way how to start is look at tested working samples. So.. please see following:

Helloworld-webapp: https://maven.java.net/content/repositories/releases/com/sun/jersey/samples/helloworld-webapp/1.9.1/helloworld-webapp-1.9.1-gf-project.zip

And by the way, that error message means "Jersey is not able to find ANY @Path annotated class". My bet would be on this:

<init-param>
  <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
  <param-value>first</param-value>
</init-param>

Is "first" really name of the package where "Hello" class resides?

Solution 2

In jersey 2.x docs use

<init-param>
    <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
    <param-value>com.rest.portal</param-value>
</init-param>

I'm new to tomcat and jersey so hopefully this isn't a stupid mistake. Whenever I try and access my project located at http://127.0.0.1:8080/first/rest/hello I get the following error...

I've got a Java class and a web.xml file for this project. They are the following...

Hello.java

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 Hello {

// 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> ";
}

}

What am I missing?

EDIT: It's probably relevant that I've been using the following tutorial to get started. http://www.vogella.de/articles/REST/article.html#first
