> 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
