REST Service not responding

I have build a rest service using tomcat and jersey.

The used web.xml contains only:

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class> 
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

The pom.xml file contains:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>maven2-repository.java.net</id>
      <name>Java.net Repository for Maven</name>
      <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2/</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.pi4j</groupId>
      <artifactId>pi4j-core</artifactId>
      <version>1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
      <artifactId>jersey-container-servlet</artifactId>
      <version>2.17</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
      <artifactId>jersey-media-json-jackson</artifactId>
      <version>2.17</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</project>

This is part of the java file I use as the implementation of the service:

@Path("/light")
public class Hello {

  // This method is called if TEXT_PLAIN is requested
  @GET
  @Path("/state/")
  @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
  public String getStateOfLights() {
    return "hi";//getLightsStateAsJSON();
  }
}

This is my file layout

The index.html file directly under the WebContent directory is reachable through localhost:8080/ha/index.html. This is working as expected.

If I want to test my rest service I call: http://localhost:8080/ha/rest/light/state/ And what do I get: HTTP Status 404: Not found

What am I missing here?

This is the server log :

You are missing <init-param> in your web.xml. it should be: 

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class> 
  <init-param>
      <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
      <param-value>com.example</param-value> <!-- where com.example.Hello is your Hello class -->
  </init-param>
  <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>Jersey REST Service</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Replace com.example with the package of your Hello class.
