Issue
I've read through a number of posts, but just can't seem to solve my problem. You'll also see tons of posts very similar to this one, even the same tutorial. Even following them, I can't seem to get to the answer.
Essentially, I'm trying to follow the simple tutorial at: http://www.vogella.com/articles/REST/
I've made a few changes to make it compatible with Jersey 2.x
I'm using: Eclipse Tomcat 6 (Deployed/Run as within Eclipse) jaxrs-ri-2.0 I've enabled the JAX-RS Facet in Eclipse
Everything builds fine Tomcat starts fine within Eclipse I can get to a static page content via:
http://localhost:8080/RestTEST2/index.html
However, when I try to access my service via:
http://localhost:8080/RestTEST2/jaxrs/hello
I receive a 404 with "message not found" and "The requested resource (Not Found) is not available."
Here is my web.xml which is located at /WebContent/WEB-INF/web.xml
<?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_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

Here is my Java class:
package TestREST;
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 also have a JAX-RS User Library configured and referenced that includes all the JAX-RS jars.
Thoughts on what would cause the web service to not be found?
Solution
Jersey 2.0 does not recognize init-param with name com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages (web.xml). Try to change it to jersey.config.server.provider.packages as described in ServerProperties.PROVIDER_PACKAGES.
UPDATE (2020): try this link for current apidocs ServerProperties.PROVIDER_PACKAGES:
