My simple jersey endpoint: @Component @Path(/v1/user) public class UserService { @Autowired com.myapp.core.service.UserService userService; @GET

  • 0

My simple jersey endpoint:

@Component
@Path("/v1/user")
public class UserService {

    @Autowired
    com.myapp.core.service.UserService userService;

    @GET
    @Path("/get")
    public Response getUser() {
        User user = userService.getUser(1);

        String result = user.getUsername();

        return Response.status(200).entity(result).build();
    }
}

(BTW, since this is restful, will this be an xml or json output??)

My spring mvc pages working fine (that hit hibernate), but when I visit localhost:8080/api/v1/user/get I see:

My application context has beans for:

dataSource, sessionFactory and userDao.

My myapp-servlet.xml has:

<context:component-scan base-package="com.myapp" />

(both applicationContext and myapp-servlet.xml have the same xml header node etc. in case that is an issue?)

    Make sure your myapp-servlet.xml contains the following:

    <!--  enable autowire -->
<context:annotation-config />

    About media-type of request/response – you can specify it explicitly, like this:

    @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Path("/v1/user")
public class UserService {...

    Default value is “*/*” – any type.
    Useful info about jersey annotation can be found here
