I am trying to create a hello world restful(jersey) webservice. I am using Spring tool suite and the native vFabric tcServer.
Following is the URL : /localhost:8080/example/rest/hello which gives 404.
I have ensured all the jars are present in the WEB-INF/lib folder in the IDE.
I read through various forums which mention that all the jars should be present in the WEB-INF directory. I have been through various SO questions on the same topic but I still am unable to resolve the cause for this error.
Do I need to specifically navigate to tcServer installation in workspace to add these jars? Any ideas?
I am stuck with the following error when I start the tcServer:

Following is the web.xml:

and the corresponding webservice class:
package com.example.service;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
@Path("/hello")
public class HelloWorldService {
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public String sayHello() {
return "whats up";
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_XML)
public String sayHelloXmlVersion() {
return "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>" + "<hello> Hello Jersey" + "</hello>";
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public String sayHelloHTMLVersion() {
return "<html> " + "<title>" + "Hello Jersey" + "</title>"
+ "<body><h1>" + "Hello Jersey" + "</body></h1>" + "</html> ";
}
}
List of all jar files in the project:
asm-3.1.jar
jackson-core-asl-1.9.2.jar
jackson-jaxrs-1.9.2.jar
jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.2.jar
jackson-xc-1.9.2.jar
jersey-client-1.16.jar
jersey-core-1.16.jar

jersey-servlet-1.16.jar
jettison-1.1.jar
jsr311-api-1.1.1.jar
jsr311-api-1.1.1-javadoc.jar
Got it Fixed. Had to refer to the web project name in the web.xml:
And the corresponding url:
