Jersey tomcat and eclipse: error 404 - eclipse

I was following vogella "REST with Java (JAX-RS) using Jersey - Tutorial".
I created a new dynamic web project named "project" generating web.xml file.
I added all jar files from jaxrs-ri-2.23.1 in "eclipseWorkspace/project/WebContent/WEB-INF/lib"
I created a new class named Hello and copied the content from vogella tutorial:
package project;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
// Plain old Java Object it does not extend as class or implements
// an interface
// The class registers its methods for the HTTP GET request using the #GET annotation.
// Using the #Produces annotation, it defines that it can deliver several MIME types,
// text, XML and HTML.
// The browser requests per default the HTML MIME type.
//Sets the path to base URL + /hello
#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> ";
}
}
I modified web.xml in this way:
<?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" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
<display-name>project</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
<!-- Register resources and providers under com.vogella.jersey.first package. -->
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
<param-value>project</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>
</web-app>
Right click on project name, run as, Run on server. Choosed the existing tomcat v7 server at localhost.
Restarted server.
When i go to:
http://localhost:8080/project/rest/hello
It shows 404 error:
HTTP Status 404 - Not Found
type Status report
message Not Found
description The requested resource is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.70
Do you know how to solve this?

Solved unselecting the option "Build Automatically" in eclipse.
Then "Build project" and "Run on server" and it works.

Can't access a Java servlet through its URL

I'm trying to set up a very basic JEE project with Eclipse+Tomcat using a single servlet and JSP. However I'm getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when trying to access its URL http://localhost:8080/test/toto. The exception message being displayed is:
Cannot invoke "javax.servlet.RequestDispatcher.forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest, javax.servlet.ServletResponse)" because the return value of "javax.servlet.ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher(String)" is null.
Here is my Test servlet code:
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class Test extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response )
throws ServletException, IOException{
this.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher( "/WEB-INF/test.jsp" ).forward( request, response );
}
}
The test.jsp file should just display a message : "Generated by a JSP"
Here's the content of web.xml for reference :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
version="3.0">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sdzee.servlets.Test</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Test</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/toto</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
The corresponding Tomcat log reads :
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 - - [10/Dec/2020:14:29:47 +0100] "GET /test/toto HTTP/1.1" 500 1606
This is the project arborescence
Edit: Other things I recently tried: Reinstall Eclipse+Tomcat on another pc and start again, move test.jsp directly to WebContent and access http://localhost:8080/test/test.jsp: results in a HTTP 404 ressource not found error.
I've just noticed that before I create my servlet I can access whatever file I create under WebContent at http://localhost:8080/test/whatever.jsp but I can't do that anymore once I add the servlet and establish the mapping in web.xml
I was editing the web.xml file of the Tomcat server and not the one of the project, that's why nothing was working as expected.

Jersey REST service

Am using Jersey 1.19 for a REST service..
The URL pattern in web.xml is:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
In the Java class am using a method which is doing a kind of redirect to another page saved in a web folder. It looks fine up to the point when I call a specific resource:
http://localhost:8084/userProfile/rest/user
This should redirect to:
http://localhost:8084/userProfile/signup/index.jsp
but it redirects to:
http://localhost:8084/userProfile/rest/signup/index.jsp
Which normally doesn't exist.
The method in the Java Class:
#Path("/user")
public class userProfile {
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public Response returnForm() throws URISyntaxException {
URI uri = new URI("/signup/index.jsp");
return Response.temporaryRedirect(uri).build();
}
}
How can I avoid redirection to a URL including /rest/?
The solution is/was really simple... the Path should go one step back to
avoid the url-pattern /rest/*:
....
URI uri = new URI("../signup/index.jsp");
...
Thx!

Spring MVC Servlet being hit twice for a POST request

I've got an estrange issue while using Spring MVC in order to implement RESTful services for my web application. Everything seems to work OK while performing GET requests, however, the behaviour I'm dealing with when doing POST requests puzzles me. Well, I've implemented this very basic controller code:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/services")
public class RestService {
#RequestMapping(value = "/test/post", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void postTest(#RequestBody String postString)
throws PersistenceException {
System.out.println(postString);
}
}
When I perform a POST request against it using Curl:
curl --data "Hello world" http://localhost:8080/SpringMVC-REST/services/test/post
First time my Controller is reached properly and the String is displayed. However, don't know why, the Spring MVC servlet is being called again after that, in this case with a wrong url request. The framework is not finding the matching service case, obviously:
Jun 02, 2014 4:06:21 PM org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound
WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/SpringMVC-REST/services/test/services/test/post] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'
Debugger's stack seems to be slightly different for the first and second cases:
It seems like second time the Spring MVC framework is trying to render the output, even I'm not interested in it, cause I'm not accesing it via web UI. The servlet configuration I use is the standard one:
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.4"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd">
<display-name>Spring MVC REST</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>

</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
That happens to me with Tomcat 6 and 7 and spring-web 3.2.8.RELEASE. Can anybody see the problem here?
use #ResponseBody before method return type..it should solve your problem.
so it should be like
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/services")
public class RestService {
#RequestMapping(value = "/test/post", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody void postTest(#RequestBody String postString)
throws PersistenceException {
System.out.println(postString);
}
}

RESTEasy Asynchronous Job Service + Spring MVC?

I am using the RESTEasy integration with Spring MVC as described here in section "39.2. Spring MVC Integration"
http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.0.0.GA/userguide/html/RESTEasy_Spring_Integration.html
I'd like to experiment with RESTEasy's implementation of the "async job service" as described here:
http://docs.jboss.org/resteasy/docs/2.3.4.Final/userguide/html/async_job_service.html
Reading the doc, my assumption is that RESTEasy will intercept the request and respond with a HTTP 202 and do the job queueing and tracking and create the .../async/jobs endpoint. So I modified my web.xml as described in the documention. Here's what it looks like:
<web-app>
<context-param>
<param-name>resteasy.async.job.service.enabled</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>resteasy.async.job.service.base.path</param-name>
<param-value>/asynch/jobs</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springmvc</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:springmvc-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springmvc</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I tried to test whether this works by making a call to one of my REST services like this (running under Tomcat 6):
POST http://localhost:8080/myservice?async=true
According to the documentation this service is supposed to return a HTTP 202 but it returned the normal HTTP 200 as if I had called without the async=true query param.
I didn't change anything else with my services. Am I missing something?
Btw, here's what the service annotation looks like:
#Controller
#Path("/")
public class MyServices {
#POST
#Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
#Path("myservice")
public Response createMyResource(#Context UriInfo uri, myResource) {
// create the resource
// construct and return a OK Response
}
}
Has anyone tried this successfully? If not, do you have another easy to use alternative for making async calls to RESTEasy RESTful services (that also works with Spring running under tomcat)
Thanks.
Try with asynch=true not async=true

REST Service - #POST call works while #GET doesn't

I am very new in REST services and I am facing a problem during the last two weeks. I am using Jersey. I am trying to use a simple REST client in order to call a POST method, which accepts a JSON object as a parameter and stores it to a database. My approach didn't work, but I decided to go one step behind, so now I am using an even simpler client with a simpler provider, in order to just test my POST and GET methods. The strange thing is that while I am able to call the POST method:
#POST
#Path("/store")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String storeData(String str) throws SQLException {
String query = "insert into myDB.test (id, name) values ('1', '" + str + "')";
MyDB db = new MyDB();
db.runQuery(query);
return responseCode.toString();
}
This works just fine!
But in the same class, the #GET method is not working and returns a 404 error.
My code is as following:
#GET
#Path("/retrieve")
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String getResponse() {
return "Hello!";
}
I know that my question might be quite simple to many... but I'm trying to find out what I'm doing wrong so as to go on to my actual implementation...
Thanks a lot in advance.
Marina
here is my client-side code
public class TestClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ClientConfig clientConfig = new DefaultClientConfig();
Client client = Client.create(clientConfig);
WebResource webResource = client.resource("http://localhost:8080/server_classes/rest/server/retrieve");
System.out.println(webResource.accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).post(ClientResponse.class, "hello"));
}
}
And here is my web.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My package is named server_classes and the resource's path is #Path("/server")
I tried the vogella tutorial again, from the beginning, just changing the annotation paths and the methods (for not just giving a "Hello Jersey" response). But now, I am not able to run anything. There is only a 404 error!
O also deleted Tomcat's instance, then the whole tomcat installation and re-installed it, the problem still the same. I am working on Ubuntu 12.04 if this helps..
Thanks!
try to change your request from post to get, as your servlet-mapping expects:
webResource.accept(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN).get(ClientResponse.class);
