I am developing a JERSEY webservice in Intellij, deployed in tomcat configured in Intellij only. It is deployed successfully. Logs from tomcat

My web.xml is as following:

<web-app>
  <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

My service is

@Path("/authentication")
public class AuthenticationService extends SpringApplication {

    @GET
    @Path("/greet")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response greet(){

        return getBean(AuthenticationServiceHandler.class).greet();
    }
}

It looks all fine to me, not sure why is it not working. I am hitting at http://localhost:8080/authentication/greet
