----------------------------------------

             Summary: Servlet javax.ws.rs.core.Application not defined in web.xml
                 Key: FORGE-1166
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1166
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0.Final
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves


Hi,

When seting up REST, Forge creates the following servlet mapping :

{code}
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>javax.ws.rs.core.Application<servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
{code}

But in GlassFish 3.x and 4.0 this doesn't work because the servlet is not declared. You need to add the following to make it work : 

{code}
<servlet> 
    <servlet-name>javax.ws.rs.core.Application</servlet-name>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
{code}

I read Lincoln's comment on that (sorry, can't find where, it was in a JIRA comment) that this was in the spec and that the app server should define it. I couln't find this requirement in the JAX-RS spec but maybe it's written somewhere else (Servlet ?). But I think it would be good to add it anyway, so it would work will all app servers.

PS : same behaviour in Forge 1.3.3-Final
