When i tried to access Restful web service using JAXRS on localhost, I am receiving below mentioned ERROR. I did check for duplicate jar files and even my web.xml seems to be correct. Any idea where i am going wrong ?

ERROR (i) : [ when tried accessing localhost ]

ERROR (ii) : [in Eclipse console ]

Answer 1

Should have figured it out, as soon as i saw this. Anyways this is what my mistake is

ERROR:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Resource configuration class, validatorService.ValidatorServiceConfig, is not a super class of class javax.ws.rs.core.Application

FIX:

public class ValidatorServiceConfig extends Application

BEFORE:

public class ValidatorServiceConfig
