Important
Use Tomcat 9.x or higher, previous versions do not work with the current versions of Jersey
Use Jersey 2.27 files from org.glassfish.jersey. There are three dependencies that are required -
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-servlet-core</artifactId>
<version>2.27</version>
<!-- use the following artifactId if you don't need servlet 2.x compatibility -->
<!-- artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.inject</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-hk2</artifactId>
<version>2.27</version>
</dependency>
<!-- uncomment this to get JSON support -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-json-binding</artifactId>
<version>2.27</version>
</dependency>
The context.xml in a war file is ignored. In order to created virtual paths, you need to create an xml file (can be given any name) under $CATAINA_BASE/conf/<engine>/<host>/ (so my machine this is - c:/java/apache-tomcat-9.0.7/conf/Catalina/localhost). I have two file currently dbwstier.xml, and dbank.xml
dbwstier.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="C:\work\software\netbeans\DBankDBTier_ws_exp\target\DBankDBTier_ws_exp" path="/dbwstier"/>
dbank.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context docBase="C:\work\software\eclipse_jee\DBankDBTier_ws_exp\target\DBankDBTier-ws-1.0" path="/dbank"/>
