Question

I have a single web-service implemented in Jersey (no container or anything else). When I run it through maven jetty:run, it works fine but I get the HTTP ERROR 404 when I use java -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar --port 9090 target/*.war
I checked a similar post here but the solution does not work for me.
Here’s how my pom.xml looks like:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>6.1.22</version>
    <configuration>
        <connectors>
        <connector implementation="org.mortbay.jetty.nio.SelectChannelConnector">
            <port>9090</port>
            <maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>
        </connector>
        </connectors>
        <jetty-config>jetty.xml</jetty-config>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals><goal>copy</goal></goals>
            <configuration>
                <artifactItems>
                    <artifactItem>
                        <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
                        <artifactId>jetty-runner</artifactId>
                        <version>8.1.6.v20120903</version>
                        <destFileName>jetty-runner.jar</destFileName
                    </artifactItem>
                </artifactItems>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

I would appreciate any hint to solve my problem.

Answer 1

The problem was that the artifactId of my project was XXX. When I used mvn jetty:run, the url looked like this: localhost:9090/XXX/path/to/service. It did not return anything by calling: localhost:9090/path/to/service. However, when I change it to java -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar --port 9090 target/*.war, the url should be localhost:9090/path/to/service and not the other one (localhost:9090/XXX/path/to/service).

I don’t know what caused this setting, but at least I can get it to work.
