"No resource methods" when using JAX-RS on TomEE+

Question

Using stock TomEE+, I cannot get a simple JAX-RS resource to work. I constantly get an error of:

Resource class: package com.tensorwrench.test;

import javax.ws.rs.*;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
@Path("/test")
public class BaseResource {
  @GET @Produces("text/plain") @Path("test") Response helloWorld() {
    return Response.ok("Hello world","plain/text").build();
  }
  @GET @Produces("text/plain") String helloWorld2() {
    return "Hello world without path!";
  }
}

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="api" version="3.0" 
     xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>Service</display-name>

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'war'

repositories { mavenCentral() }

dependencies {
    providedCompile 'org.apache.openejb:javaee-api:6.0-4'
}

version = '1.0'
jar {
        manifest {
                attributes 'Title': 'Services',
                                     'Version': version
        }
}

</web-app>

I've tried a number of permutations, adding beans.xml, removing, changing order of the annotations, using different compile dependencies for the Java EE classes. I consistently get this error.

Answer 1

It looks like your resource methods are not public in scope. Try this:

import javax.ws.rs.*;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;
@Path("/test")
public class BaseResource {
  @GET @Produces("text/plain") @Path("test") public Response helloWorld() {
    return Response.ok("Hello world","plain/text").build();
  }
  @GET @Produces("text/plain") public String helloWorld2() {
    return "Hello world without path!";
  }
}

Thanks, that was it. Always the easy thing that's the hardest to see. :/ – Cleanshaven

No worries, we like to try and catch stuff like that, but currently that code is mostly around EJB. Added a JIRA for this one issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMEE-260 – Crista
