I am running into a problem with scaffolding a MySQL db. After successfully scaffolding the db I deploy the project and then start the Tomcat server. The server is reporting the errors listed below. The project shows no errors, also this was not a problem with 8.5. The problem always reproduces. I have also included the first part of the web.xml file. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

</servlet-mapping>

the section in the web.xml that is in question is

<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

It looks like there is a problem generating the web.xml for JAX-RS Rest. first the <servlet section for the JAX-RS Rest has an empty line and the servlet-mapping that should relate to the JAX-RS Rest is missing the <servlet-name section.

Is the project created in 8.5 failing in 8.6, or is this a new project? Can you provide me the steps you are taking, from project creation through running it? I have some ideas, but I'm not seeing the issue, so precise steps would be very helpful.

Regards,
Heflin

I can create the "Web Service Project" in 8.6 with Maven support and REST (JAX-rs), do a Scaffolding Spring CRUD->Database Schema against a mySQL db with all layers enabled, and Spring MVC + Spring WebFlow and iPhone web clients selected, spring 3.0. summary:
Data Types
Device
Errors
Eventinvitestatus
Force
Locationevent
MhEvent
MhUser

Application Layers and Packages
Web layer artifacts will be generated into package: com.ipei.traveler.collector.web
Service layer artifacts will be generated into package: com.ipei.traveler.collector.service
DAO layer artifacts will be generated into package: com.ipei.traveler.collector.dao
Domain layer artifacts will be generated into package: com.ipei.traveler.collector.domain


Then deploy to MyEclipse Tomcat

The web.xml file from these steps result in 2 issues as far as I can see:
1) from the web.xml there is an extra line inserted after the ,servlet-class and the com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer. also there is an incorrect incorrect line terminator for both the empty line and the line containing the com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer. they have only the LF and not the CRLF like all of the other lines in the web.xml file.
<servlet>
<servlet-name>JAX-RS REST Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>

com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
2) there is no servlet-name section in the servlet-mapping
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/services/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
===============================================================
If I correct these isues fixing the LF and adding a <servlet-name>JAX-RS REST Servlet</servlet-name>
section

I fail later in the Tomcat startup with :

It should be noted that I did not do a "New Web Service" to create a REST Service if I do I still get the same problem.

After doing the project creation step by step it is the CRUD scaffolding that is corrupting the REST entries.
steps taken to reproduce
1) create a web service project enabling the REST
examine and preserve a copy of the web.xml file: at this point the following is generated in the web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
=================================================================
step 2) run the scaffolding wizard against this project and a MySQL db
examine and preserve the web.xml file: the file is now corrupt: the first 102 lines of the 1000+ lines in the web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4">

Thanks! I've reproduced it here, and I'm writing up an issue for it. I did notice that if you scaffold the application before adding the REST JAX-RS stuff, the web.xml file doesn't get corrupted.

I really do appreciate you taking the time to detail this for us.

Regards,
Heflin

I also discovered if I scaffolded first the web.xml looked better but the Tomcat server still has issues loading. I don't know yet if it is because I have not yet created the "New Web Service" to create a REST Service. I will try it out tonight and let you know. by the way here is the runtime error I get if I scaffold and then add REST capabilities and deploy an start the server:

INFO: Initializing Spring FrameworkServlet 'collector_xxx03 Servlet'

I deployed both maven and non-maven applications that I ran scaffolding on first, them the "Add REST" option, and both ran without producing that error. From what I can tell, it looks like you have an asm library conflict of some sort, or an older asm jar. You may want to look at your pom file and local maven repo and see if anything pops up there.

Regards,
Heflin

Heflin, when you did the scaffolding and then the REST service did you by chance try the "Test with REST Web Service Explorer" It seems to be failing with the following exception:

A little more information if I have 2 projects the REST tutorial and my Project both deployed and bring up the Test with REST Web Service Explorer and
change the URL to point to my application path rather than the RESTDemo path I can see my REST services. This implies that the tool (REST Explorer) startup has some issues.
A second issue is that in the startup the WAD URL is always http:localhost:8080/... It does not look at the port configuration for Tomcat which in my case is 8888. There should probably be a bug entered for this as well.
