Hi,

A am getting the same issue. Can you explain How did you resolved it?

Tutorial explains to add JerseyServlet but in site's web.xml RESTApiServlet is already added so I did not included JerseyServlet.

Hi,

I am getting the same issue. can you explain how you resolved it?

It looks like /WEB-INF/applicationContext-rest-api.xml was changed to /WEB-INF/applicationContext-rest-api-security.xml over a year ago. It's already referenced in web.xml. I don't think you have to do anything to enable the REST API anymore.

However, it's not working for me. The endpoints are there and listening, but they respond with:


This error message is probably incorrect, because something called "Jackson" has a known bug that generates it when there's a problem with serialization. http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/web/77132-json-httpmediatypenotsupportedexception

I'm not sure what to do about that.
