My project works fine but what is bothering me is that I was unable to deploy it as described in the book. Bill provides two web.xml examples for deployment in both "JAX-RS-aware and unaware" containers. None worked for me. First I expected JBoss container to be JAX-RS aware. I tried to set my Application class as <servlet-class> but received error complaining that my application cannot be cast into servlet. Then I used "unaware" version setting my Application as <init-param> inside <servlet> declaration . No luck either. The error now says "resource unavilable". What finally worked for me is setting my Application as <context-param>. The app works fine but I have a couple of issues with the way it is deployed. First, what does it mean that I can set up my Application through <context-param> only? Is something missing from my environment? Is it true that it is normally not advisable to deploy the application through <context-param> (I heard that it can cause strange behavior from Spring beans etc.)? Thanks! Didn't work: <servlet>     <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>path.MyApplication</servlet-class> </servlet> Didn't work: # # <servlet>     <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher</servlet-class>         <init-param>              <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>              <param-value>path.MyApplication</param-value>         </init-param> </servlet> Worked: <servlet>     <servlet-name>Resteasy</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.server.servlet.HttpServletDispatcher</servlet-class> </servlet> <context-param>     <param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>     <param-value>path.MyApplication</param-value> </context-param> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/592501#592501] Start a new discussion in JBoss Web Services at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
