Jersey restful web application returning 404 for all resource URI's

Question

I'm new to restful web applications and I'm trying to create a restful web application using JAX-RS with help of jersey-api's.

When I try to access the application by some uri's each time I'm getting HTTP Status 404.

Please help me solve this problem.

Below are the code snippets

MessageResource.java

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("messages")
public class MessageResource {

    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    public String getMessages() {
        return "Hello";
    }
}

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This web.xml file is not required when using Servlet 3.0 container,
     see implementation details http://jersey.java.net/nonav/documentation/latest/jax-rs.html -->
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

            <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
            <param-value>org.manjunath.webservice.messenger</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/webapi/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Url used to access the resouce http://localhost:8080/messenger/webapi/messages

I'm using jersey-quickstart-webapp with version 2.27

After adding following dependencies to the pom.xml the application started working.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.jaxb</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-runtime</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.activation</groupId>
    <artifactId>activation</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>

Thank you, after adding the dependencies the code started working — Manjunath H M, Aug 12 '18 at 04:22
