404 in Jersey/Struts application

[Zahro Alfelpha]

I am trying to use Jersey to provide a simple web service for my struts application.

When I call the client action I get the following error

   com.sun.jersey.api.client.UniformInterfaceException
   Message: GET http://localhost:8080/shumer/rest/employee/get returned a response status of 404

servlet declaration in web.xml

   <servlet>        <servlet-name>JAX-RS Servlet</servlet-name>        <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet</servlet-class>        <init-param>            <param-name>spring.autowire</param-name>            <param-value>byName</param-value>        </init-param>        <init-param>        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>        <param-value>shumer.rest.resource</param-value>        </init-param>        <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>    </servlet>    <servlet-mapping>        <servlet-name>JAX-RS Servlet</servlet-name>        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>    </servlet-mapping>

Server resource

    @Path("employee")
    public class EmployeeResource {
        
        @Autowired
        EmpDao empDao;
        
        @GET
        @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
        public List<Employee> get(@QueryParam("empCode") String empCode) throws Exception {
            
                EmpCriteria criteria = new EmpCriteria();
                criteria.setEmpCode(empCode);
    
                
                return empDao.searchByCondition(criteria);
            }
        
    }

Client action

    public class EmployeeClientTestAction extends Action {
        
        @Override
        public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
     
            Client client = Client.create();
            WebResource resource = client.resource("http://localhost:8080/shumer/rest/employee/get");
            
            String employees= resource.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
            .get(String.class);
            
            System.out.println(employees);
            
            request.setAttribute("employees", employees);
            
            return mapping.findForward("successful");
        }
        
    }

I have tried this with and without the `/get` and the end of the resource url, and with and without a leading `/` in the EmployeeResource @Path annotation. My guess is that there is somewhere I have to declare where my resources are lcoated at in order for the Jersey servlet to handle them, but I can't figure it out. A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
