Rest Server returns HTTP 405 Error

[sannsims]

Hello all and thanks for reading my post.

This issue isn’t related to an Infinispan Cache issue; however I’m trying to get my client communicating with the Rest server so I can start working on implementing the Infinispan Cache.  I found this link:  http://www.theserverside.com/tip/RESTful-Web-services-made-easy.  When I try to invoke a simple service using the example code, I get “HTTP Status 405 - specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource ()”.  The web.xml in the example shows a servlet mapping to a Jersey ServletContainer.  I’m not using Jersey; is there a different ServletContainer I should use instead?  If I do, will this conflict with the HttpServletDispatcher?

Web.xml

I figured out what my issue was, you need to set the “resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix” if your servlet-mapping for the resteasy servlet has a url-pattern other than “/*“.

The resteasy servlet url-pattern is “/rest/*“, so you have to set the “resteasy.servlet.mapping.prefix” to “/rest” as well, otherwise, you will hit resource not found error message.
