WebApplicationException in JSON using

Question

I've searching about this problem that occurred when using JSON and RESTful example but i couldn't found anything. here is my code:

@Path("students")
public class StudentResource {
private StudentRepository studentRepository = new StudentRepositoryStub();

@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<Student> getallStudentList() {
    return studentRepository.findAllStudents();
}

}

and here is web.xml:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Example API</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Example API</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

and the pom file is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

        <artifactId>jersey-json</artifactId>
        <version>1.8</version>
    </dependency>

</dependencies>

and at last this is student class :

@XmlRootElement
public class Student {
private String name;
private int age;

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public int getAge() {
    return age;
}

public void setAge(int age) {
    this.age = age;
}
}

that the student class is filling with :

public class StudentRepositoryStub implements StudentRepository {

public List<Student> findAllStudents() {
    List<Student> studentList = new ArrayList<Student>();

    Student student = new Student();
    student.setName("jamshid");
    student.setAge(22);

    studentList.add(student);

    student.setName("saeid");
    student.setAge(26);
    studentList.add(student);

    return studentList;

}
}

when i using

MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON

instead of

MediaType.APPLICATION_XML

this error occured:

javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException: HTTP 500 Internal Server Error at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponse.write(ContainerResponse.java:267) at com.sun.jersey.server.impl.application.WebApplicationImpl._handleRequest(WebApplicationImpl.java:1035) at com.sun.jersey.server.impl.application.WebApplicationImpl.handleRequest(WebApplicationImpl.java:947) at com.sun.jersey.server.impl.application.WebApplicationImpl.handleRequest(WebApplicationImpl.java:938) at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.WebComponent.service(WebComponent.java:399) at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:478) at com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer.service(ServletContainer.java:663) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:728) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:303) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:208) at org.apache.tomcat.websocket.server.WsFilter.doFilter(WsFilter.java:51) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:241) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:208) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:221) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:504) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:155) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:76) at org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve.invoke(AccessLogValve.java:934) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:90) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:515) at org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor.process(AbstractHttp11Processor.java:1012) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$AbstractConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:642) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.process(Http11NioProtocol.java:223) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$SocketProcessor.doRun(NioEndpoint.java:1597) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$SocketProcessor.run(NioEndpoint.java:1555) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

Answer 1

there are two changes which u need to do is

1. change the @Produces("application/json")
2. Always the path should begin from @Path("/students")

3. add dependency

   <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.moxy</artifactId> <version>2.6.0</version> </dependency>
