I just made my first REST api based on this http://www.vogella.com/articles/REST/article.html I am using eclipse kepler, tomcat7, and Jersey

when I try to "Run on server" I get this error:

Here is the source code:

package de.vogella.jersey.first;

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> ";
  }

} 

here is the web.xml:

If you are using jersey 2.x API, you need to rename the classes as done below, and your issue will be resolved.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>org.glassfish.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
      <param-value>com.practise.rest</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

You are getting

com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer

That means you are using different version of jar. You added jersey-server.jar this jar is upgrade to jersey-servlet-1.17.jar.

So add jersey-servlet-1.17.jar to your project.

We get this error because of build path issue. You should add "Server Runtime" libraries in Build Path.

"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer"

Please follow below steps to resolve class not found exception.

Right click on project --> Build Path --> Java Build Path --> Add Library --> Server Runtime --> Apache Tomcat v7.0
