Error when running unmodified archetype CXF JAX RS project

Question

I'm trying to run an archetype generated project : org.apache.cxf.archetype:cxf-jaxrs-service

I used Maven to generate it and tried to run it on tomcat 7. I posted the code even if its not modified by me (default).

I get the same error with every URL used in the browser. Am I missing something ?

HelloWorldIT.java

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.WebClient;
import org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParser;
import org.codehaus.jackson.map.MappingJsonFactory;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;

public class HelloWorldIT {
    private static String endpointUrl;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void beforeClass() {
        endpointUrl = System.getProperty("service.url");
    }

    @Test
    public void testPing() throws Exception {
        WebClient client = WebClient.create(endpointUrl + "/hello/echo/SierraTangoNevada");
        Response r = client.accept("text/plain").get();
        assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), r.getStatus());
        String value = IOUtils.toString((InputStream)r.getEntity());
        assertEquals("SierraTangoNevada", value);
    }

    @Test
    public void testJsonRoundtrip() throws Exception {
        List<Object> providers = new ArrayList<Object>();
        providers.add(new org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJsonProvider());
        JsonBean inputBean = new JsonBean();
        inputBean.setVal1("Maple");
        WebClient client = WebClient.create(endpointUrl + "/hello/jsonBean", providers);
        Response r = client.accept("application/json")
            .type("application/json")
            .post(inputBean);
        assertEquals(Response.Status.OK.getStatusCode(), r.getStatus());
        MappingJsonFactory factory = new MappingJsonFactory();
        JsonParser parser = factory.createJsonParser((InputStream)r.getEntity());
        JsonBean output = parser.readValueAs(JsonBean.class);
        assertEquals("Maple", output.getVal2());
    }
}

JsonBean.java

public class JsonBean {
    private String val1;
    private String val2;

    public String getVal1() {
        return val1;
    }

    public void setVal1(String val1) {
        this.val1 = val1;
    }

    public String getVal2() {
        return val2;
    }

    public void setVal2(String val2) {
        this.val2 = val2;
    }

}

HelloWorld.java

@Path("/hello")
public class HelloWorld {

    @GET
    @Path("/echo/{input}")
    @Produces("text/plain")
    public String ping(@PathParam("input") String input) {

Answer 1

I don't really know anything about the tomcat maven plugin, but going through the configurations in the pom, it appears the port is set to 13000 and the context path to jaxrs-service.

Running mvn tomcat7:run-war from the command line, the following is successful

http://localhost:13000/jaxrs-service/hello/echo/Whatever

I believe the unit test is meant to be ran as an intergration-test goal. You can run

mvn integration-test

and it should start a server and you should see at the end

Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

I believe the above solutions starts-up an embedded container, not your actual local instance. If you launch the app from your local instance, then the url should be

http://localhost:8080/<name-of-war>/hello/echo/Whatever
