Question

I trying to use this example and learn how to call to rest service,
when I put this code I getting error since the eclipse doesn’t know
the org.example.Customer; .the error in definition Customer customer.
how can I import it to my project ?
I have tried to use the eclipse suggestion without success. (fix project setup etc)

import java.util.List;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import org.example.Customer;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.*;


public class JerseyClient {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Client client = Client.create();
      WebResource resource =
        client.resource("http://localhost:8080/CustomerService/rest/customers");

      // Get response as String
      String string = resource.path("1")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(String.class);
      System.out.println(string);

      // Get response as Customer
      Customer customer = resource.path("1") ------"*Here is the error in customer*-------
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(Customer.class);
      System.out.println(customer.getLastName() + ", "+ customer.getFirstName());

      // Get response as List<Customer>
      List<Customer> customers = resource.path("findCustomersByCity/Any%20Town")
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
            .get(new GenericType<List<Customer>>(){});
      System.out.println(customers.size());
   }
}

I have used the code from this blog

Answer 1

Could be

1: is the import statement import org.example.Customer; underlined in red?

2: the class Customer is that inside a jar? or another project in your workspace? or where is it located?

3: Are there any chances that there could be two jars on your classpath that contains the class Customer?

4: if its in a project, did you first build that project?

update , see in the link here

they have shown the packaging and deployment organization, see the Customer class is inside CustomerService.jar which is inside CustomerService.war. do you have these items?

Dude did you follow the tutorial well?
