RESTEasy - @Path requiring a full path?

Question

I was messing around with JAX-RS and made an application which calls REST services which produce JSON. I tried Jersey and everything went fine, but I had to switch to RESTEa

Answer 1

Solution: add the following in your web.xml

<context-param>
    <param-name>resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix</param-name>
    <param-value>/rest</param-value>
</context-param>

Where /rest is the beginning of your <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>

Answer 2

On JBoss AS 7.1 I also had to add to add resteasy.resources ... which is further explained here http://www.javaroots.com/2013/05/creating-rest-services-with-rest-easy.html You may get error like this : Could not find resource for relative : /application/test of full path:... You have to define resteasy.resource context param with the full path of Rest class.
