Answer 1

The value of param com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages must the Java package where you have the resources (classes annotated with @Path).

So, you need to change this:

<init-param>
  <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
  <param-value>RESTFULWebService</param-value>
</init-param>

By:

<init-param>
  <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
  <param-value>com.packages.restful</param-value>
</init-param>
