Rest service is not getting called when I type in the URL in the browser.

[Raja Khan]

Rest service is not getting called. I used this simple example based on RestyGWT video, but the issue is when I type localhost:8888/api/hellos it does not call this below service. If you see I have used @Path, do I need to specify this path in web.xml too or someplace else?

import java.util.HashMap;

import java.util.List;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;

import javax.ws.rs.Path;

import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;

import javax.ws.rs.Produces;

import com.google.api.client.util.Lists;

import com.zrsol.tours.shared.Hello;

@Path("/api/hellos")

public class HelloResource {

private HashMap<String, Hello> database;

public HelloResource(){

System.out.println("Inside HelloResource......");

database = new HashMap<String, Hello>();

Hello helloFirst = new Hello("1", "First");

Hello helloSecond = new Hello("2", "Second");

database.put(helloFirst.getId(), helloFirst);

database.put(helloSecond.getId(), helloSecond);

}

@GET

@Produces("application/json")

public List<Hello> getAll(){

return Lists.newArrayList(database.values());

}

@GET

@Produces("application/json")

@Path("/{id}")

public Hello get(@PathParam("id") String id){

return database.get(id);

}

}

FYI, you have server side problem. RestyGWT is the client and can essentially work with any server (written in any language) - it just needs to over the right API for the RestyGWT client.

Christian, thanks for the reply. But I am testing on inbuilt Jetty that comes with GWT 2.8.2. Do you think that is the issue that Jetty is not supporting Rest based jax-rs service? should I install the application on Tomcat. If you see the video at the end of the page https://resty-gwt.github.io/ . The video at 0:54 shows that he is testing using the inbuilt Jetty service. I am trying to do exactly the same thing and don't understand why it is not working.

I am the wrong person to debug the built in Jetty servlet container have used RestyGWT a lot with ruby servers in the past. but for debugging you probably helps to first get your code working with standalone jetty setup.
