glassfish-web.xml servlet mappings

[Koen Demonie]

I am trying to creat a REST api using jersey and glassfish.
I generated a dynamic web project using eclipse.

Now i have a glassfish-web.xml in my WEB-INF folder,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd"> <glassfish-web-app> <context-root>/RestTest</context-root> <servlet> <servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Jersey Web Application</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> </glassfish-web-app>

In a normal web.xml i get no errors, yet here i do on:

<glassfish-web-app> :

The content of element type "glassfish-web-app" must match "(context-root?,security-role-
mapping*,servlet*,idempotent-url-pattern*,session-config?,ejb-ref*,resource-ref*,resource-env-ref*,service-
ref*,message-destination-ref*,cache?,class-loader?,jsp-config?,locale-charset-info?,parameter-
encoding?,property*,valve*,message-destination*,webservice-description*,keep-state?,version-identifier?)".

<servlet> :

The content of element type "servlet" must match "(servlet-name,principal-name?,webservice-endpoint*)".

What am i doing wrong ?

Welcome to the Ranch.

The servlet and servlet-mapping stuff you have in the glassfish-web.xml should actually be in the application's web.xml file. The glassfish-web.xml should have the context-root and default tags.

If the context-root is the same as your app name then the glassfish-web.xml file doesn't need to exist.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE glassfish-web-app PUBLIC "-//GlassFish.org//DTD GlassFish Application Server 3.1 Servlet 3.0//EN" "http://glassfish.org/dtds/glassfish-web-app_3_0-1.dtd">
<glassfish-web-app error-url="">
  <context-root>/home</context-root>
  <class-loader delegate="true"/>
  <jsp-config>
    <property name="keepgenerated" value="true">
      <description>Keep a copy of the generated servlet class' java code.</description>
    </property>
  </jsp-config>
</glassfish-web-app>
