Failed to deploy web application (with JAX-RS) on Tomcat 7

[Guest GraphiteCube]

Hi all,

I have developed a web applicatiom, which I applied JAX-RS to provide some RESTful web services. I have included asm-3.1.jar, jersey-core-1.7.jar, jersey-server-1.7.jar and jsr311-api-1.1.1.jar in my project (BTW, I am using NetBeans 7.0). I built the project and deploy the *.war on GlassFish 3.1, it worked; but when I deploy the same *.war file on Tomcat 7, I received the following error message:

Since I haven't use Tomcat before, I don't know if I did something wrong. Do I need to install the web service library (Web services jar) in Tomcat 7?

Check the activation jars that tomcat uses to make sure they are the proper versions. The error implies that multiple versions are being used, and that it can't call its super due to not being in the same package.

Thanks. Actually I am developing a web application based on an existing project, which includes the activation.jar, so perhaps it has the same name as the one Tomcat uses but for different purposes?

I am very confused right now. Sometimes GlassFish cannot recognize the web services (I didn't modify the codes, I just re-compile the codes into *.war package. I hate GlassFish 3.1 and NetBeans 7, the new version of these 2 software is far less stable than previous version), but sometimes it works! :angry: So I wanted to use Tomcat, but it doesn't work...

A bit off-topic, I often get the following exception when I run GlassFish 3.1 on my Windows machine, do you know the potential cause?

I installed GlassFish 3.1 in a directory which I have full permission. I didn't get such exception when I was still using GlassFish 3.0.

Thanks.
