Lift RestHelper don't receive my request - scala

Question

I tried to create a simple RestHelper "Hello world" example but I'm having trouble. When I start my container with container:start command, the
serve {
case Nil Get _ => Extraction.decompose("Hello Restful world!")
}
is not invoked in my RestHelper extension. I get the following message:
"The Requested URL / was not found on this server"
So, it seems that for some reason lift ignores
LiftRules.statelessDispatch.append(Service)
line in bootstrap.Boot.boot definition. And I have absolutely no clue why it happens.
Here's my Boot class:
package bootstrap
import net.liftweb.http.LiftRules
import com.yac.restfultest.Service
class Boot {
def boot {
LiftRules.statelessDispatch.append(Service)
}
}
And here's Service:
package com.yac.restfultest
import net.liftweb.http.rest.RestHelper
import net.liftweb.json.Extraction
object Service extends RestHelper {
serve {
case Nil Get _ => Extraction.decompose("Hello Restful world!")
}
}
and in case it helps here's my web.xml:
<!DOCTYPE web-app SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd">
<web-app>
<filter>
<filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
<display-name>Lift Filter</display-name>
<description>The Filter that intercepts Lift calls</description>
<filter-class>net.liftweb.http.LiftFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>LiftFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
and in case all of the above is not enough here is my build.sbt:
name := "TestRest"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.6"
resolvers ++= Seq("snapshots" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots",
"releases" at "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases"
)
jetty()
libraryDependencies ++= {
val liftVersion = "2.6.2"
Seq(
"net.liftweb" %% "lift-webkit" % liftVersion % "compile"
)
}
As you can see it's almost the most minimalistic lift project setup possible. Still I can't get it working. Any help would be appreciated.
And here's sbt log on container:start:

Answer 1

So, turns out it's a usual noobish non-attentiveness. The package, containing Boot.scala should be called bootstrap.liftweb and not just bootstrap as in my case.
And yes, as suggested by jcern it should be "index" :: Nil in routing pattern.
