Marián Labuda commented on TOOLSDOC-560:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for letting me know. But I am afraid this won't work at all as it is described in tutorial.

The issue is with HTTP request - once you open http://localhost:8080/ticket-monster/rest/events in a browser, you sent and HTTP request with method GET and content type text/html (this is used by default in browsers). And because our method annotated with GET annotation is returning application/json, it will fail on 404 error. To show your RESTful web service successfully in a browser you have to modify content type of method to produce text/html.
