Create RESTful Web Service with JAX-RS and deploy it to tomcat

Question

I\'m trying to create and deploy a RESTful Web Service using JAX-RS and deploy it to tomcat. I don\'t want to use any IDE. In Tomcat I have the following directory structure

Answer 1

You have the wrong class for your Servlet. Not sure why you are not wanting to use an IDE, but there is a maven archetype that will layout your project structure for you using the appropriate classes that the Jersey developers have defined. My web.xml looks like this:

    Jersey Web Application
    org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer
    
        jersey.config.server.provider.packages
        com.pluralsight

    Jersey Web Application
    /webapi/*

I cover all of this in this course here.
