you are not sending xml to your controller. Check How to post XML to server thru HTML form?.

Fruitbean: add annotations to the getters or fields

Edit: you can test your webservice with rest-client

Edit2:

@Path("fruitstore")
public class FruitStore {

  @POST
  @Path("/checkobjectbyid")
  @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
  public void loadObject(FruitBean bean) {
    System.out.println("====================");
    System.out.println("Fruit ID" + bean.getId() + " Name" + bean.getName());
  }

  @GET
  @Path("/fruitbean")
  @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
  public Response getFruitBean(){
    FruitBean fruitBean = new FruitBean();
    fruitBean.setId(1L);
    fruitBean.setName("name of fruitbean");
    return Response.status(Response.Status.OK).entity(fruitBean).build();
  }
}

Use lowercase characters for path. (url's are lowercase)

Use correct Consume and Produces annotations.

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>ServletAdaptor</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>ServletAdaptor</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Part of web.xml

urls:

POST http://localhost:8080/PROJECTNAME/resources/fruitstore/checkobjectbyid

GET http://localhost:8080/PROJECTNAME/resources/fruitstore/fruitbean

Testing with rest-client

URL: http://localhost:8080/PROJECTNAME/resources/fruitstore/checkobjectbyid

METHOD: POST

CONTENT-TYPE: application/xml

CHARSET: UTF-8

BODY: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><fruitbean id="1" name="name of fruitbean"/>

Thanks.I doing as per your specify the url.But still i got "HTTP Status 415 ---The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method ().".Please help me — user1357722, Aug 13 '12 at 11:33

First of all: in your index.htm : method="POST" and in the web-service code: @PUT. Then this is no a form action - this is just a body of your request. Try using rest-cliet as Err suggested or a Chrome cREST Client.

I was having the same problems too. However, I did it a different way. Instead of passing in an object (which would be easier, however, I am also doing this for learning purposes), I used the @FormParam annotation.

HTML

<form action="../{projectname}/{rest}/{resource}/findByIdOrName" action="post">
    <label>id</label>
    <input type="text" name="id" />
    <label>name</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" />
    <input type="submit" value="Find" />
</form>

JAX-RS Resource

@Path("/resource")
public class resource {

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
    @Path("findByIdOrName")
    public void findByIdOrName (@FormParam("id") int id, 
                                @FormParam("name") String name) {
        System.out.println("=======");
        System.out.println("id: " + id + " name:" + name);
    }
}

This is how I did it, it's easy and it works. As for models, I honestly do not know.. I'm more of a C#.NET guy and I'm trying to learn Java.
