Error in Oracle REST guide - Packaging the RESTful Web Service Application Using web.xml

[abraham arellano tavara]

Hi all,

I think there are a couple of problems with one example in the Oracle guide for REST services:

The guide is here:
-> http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/web.1211/e24983/configure.htm

1.- Error:

If you access to the link above in the example: "Example 3-2 Updating web.xml for Servlet 3.0 If Application Subclass is in Package" there is an error with the "servlet-name" from the "servlet" and "servlet-mapping" definition. As I understand they must be the same.

<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <display-name>My JAX-RS Servlet</display-name>
        <servlet-name>jersey.samples.MyApplication</servlet-name>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
            <param-value>myPackage.myJaxRsApplication</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>MyJaxRsApp</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

2.- Error:

In the same example I also don´t understand what means the "param-value" in the "init-param" section. I was expecting the subclass of javax.ws.rs.core.Application which is "MyApplication" ... not a "package name".

Maybe I´m missing something.

Thanks!
