Hello all, I am in the middle of trying to get a JAX-RS Client/Server project to work. I am having trouble because I cannot figure out how to get my Customer class to find out about the sub-resource method located in a CustomerState class. I have tried assigning it to a resource provider. I have tried declaring Interfaces to both Customer and CustomerState, putting them in both the server and client folders. I have tried declaring CustomerState as a provider. I don't remember what else I tried, but I have been trying for approximately 4 hours now. I have looked everywhere, but the documentation implies that nothing more is necessary than to put an @GET on the method of choice and call that method from the class containing the @Path. I have thought about context injection, but don't know what to do. I do not have an explicit Application subclass. The JAX-RS api is sparse with comments. The sparseness of the spec in definitions and scope, leaves something to be desired also (at least for me).
If you look here: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~zoerner/downloads/dev/samples/customerservice/testing/ you can see the code. Here is the most recent error message from the Server: [INFO] [INFO] >>> exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default) @ jax_rs_basic >>> [INFO] [INFO] <<< exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default) @ jax_rs_basic <<< [INFO] [INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default) @ jax_rs_basic --- May 15, 2011 10:12:14 PM org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.utils.ResourceUtils checkMethodDispatcher WARNING: No resource methods have been found for resource class java.lang.Class May 15, 2011 10:12:15 PM org.apache.cxf.endpoint.ServerImpl initDestination INFO: Setting the server's publish address to be http://localhost:9000/ May 15, 2011 10:12:15 PM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Slf4jLog info INFO: jetty-7.3.1.v20110307 May 15, 2011 10:12:15 PM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Slf4jLog info INFO: Started SelectChannelConnector@localhost:9000 May 15, 2011 10:12:15 PM org.eclipse.jetty.util.log.Slf4jLog info INFO: started o.e.j.s.h.ContextHandler{,null} Server ready...

Here is the client code message: Sent HTTP GET request to query customer info url:**************************** http://localhost:9000/customer/state/ ******************************** getHeaderField(0)**************** [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found] getHeaderField(1)**************** [Mon, 16 May 2011 03:12:24 GMT] getHeaderField(2)**************** [0] getHeaderField(3)**************** [text/xml] getHeaderField(4)**************** [Jetty(7.3.1.v20110307)] getContent:******************** [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This works fine and dandy when I return a CustomerState Object from a field belonging to Customer, but the problem is, I really don't need a subresource method to return it. I think, although, at the time, I had a method declared called getCustomerState which returned the String from CustomerState, and I had it annotated with @GET. If I removed that, perhaps the other configuration wouldn't work also? Here was the message for that, from the Client: Sent HTTP GET request to query customer info url:**************************** http://localhost:9000/customer/state/ ******************************** getHeaderField(0)**************** [HTTP/1.1 200 OK] getHeaderField(1)**************** [Mon, 16 May 2011 02:45:13 GMT] getHeaderField(2)**************** [14] getHeaderField(3)**************** [text/html] getHeaderField(4)**************** [Jetty(7.3.1.v20110307)] getContent:******************** sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream@1d1cdf7 ******************************* __INSTANTIATED ******************************* __INSTANTIATED ******************************* The last three lines in the output correspond to these methods: System.out.println(((InputStream) url.getContent()).toString()); in = (InputStream) url.getContent(); System.out.println(getStringFromInputStream(in)); in = (InputStream) url.getContent(); System.out.println(getStringFromInputStream(in)); I'm not sure if this is the answer or not right now. If you have any suggestions about how to make it work from the other class, that would be preferable. Thank you. Sorry if this is so much sprawling output. Ryan
