The problem:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer
indicates that you try to use the Jersey 2.x servlet, but you are supplying the Jersey 1.x libs.
For Jersey 1.x you have to do it like this:
<servlet> <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</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>sample.hello.resources</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
For more information check the Jersey 1.x documentation.
If you instead want to use Jersey 2.x then you’ll have to supply the Jersey 2.x libs. In a maven based project you can use the following:
<dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId> <version>2.xx</version> </dependency> <!-- if you are using Jersey client specific features without the server side --> <dependency> <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId> <artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId> <version>2.xx</version> </dependency>
For Jersey 2.x you don’t need to setup anything in your web.xml
, it is sufficient to supply a class similar to this:
import javax.ws.rs.ApplicationPath; import javax.ws.rs.core.Application; @ApplicationPath("rest") public class ApplicationConfig extends Application { }
For more information, check the Jersey documentation.
