REST service deployed and tomcat manager configured properly, but accessing the service throws a 404

Question

Configuration and idea: I have maven 3.3, eclipse mars, tomcat v8, and want to deploy first a simple helloworld servlet and then my own code to test it.

I've been trying for some days to do this, I couldn't even get into apache main page, and just now got it configured right so I see my web service in the manager webapp. However, it's giving me 404 status for a helloworld, which is not something I expected.

So I wanted to know what should I try next. I have the code, I see it deployed in tomcat, tomcat is working, but nothing rest/servlet related works, it's just 404 status.

I'm trying to access mainly through this two combinations of paths:

http://localhost:8080/connectedCar/

http://localhost:8080/connectedCar/rest/helloworld

  </servlet-mapping>

tomcat users:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tomcat-users>
<!--
  <role rolename="tomcat"/>
  <role rolename="role1"/>
  <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat"/>
  <user username="both" password="tomcat" roles="tomcat,role1"/>
  <user username="role1" password="tomcat" roles="role1"/>
-->

    <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
    <user username="admin" password="admin" roles="manager-gui"/>

</tomcat-users>

setting.xml:

<server>
    <id>tomcatserver</id>
    <username>admin</username>
    <password>admin</password>
</server>

What do you mean by "all configuration"? I'm not sure I know what that is. War name stays the same, doesn't it @IgCiphEr ? — monkey intern, Jun 09 '16 at 07:18

Please change the init param to com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages for Jersey 1. The one you're using is applicable to Jersey 2.

Also, look at this answer for minimal Jersey 1 set up ServletContainer class not found Exception

I will, thank you very much. I only even have jersey because something else was failing hard, so after a lot of searching I saw what I have posted as a solution. I'll try and change it, thanks. – monkey intern Jun 08 '16 at 12:03

The actual URL format to access a web resource is

http://<host>:<port>/<web_context_path>/<url_pattern>/<web_services_path>
