Rest Service URL giving Not working and giving Error - glassfish

Question

So I have been trying to make this rest service work and I have been on it for a few days but just can't get the URL to work no matter what I try. I first tried every suggestion the internet gave regarding to the web.xml file. Once I realised it's a last cause I tried the JAXRSConfiguration class with an '#ApplicationPath("/")' annotation.
So here is the JAXRS Class:
#ApplicationPath("api")
public class JAXRSConfiguration extends Application {
public JAXRSConfiguration() {
BeanConfig beanConfig = new BeanConfig();
beanConfig.setVersion("2.0.0");
beanConfig.setSchemes(new String[]{"http"});
beanConfig.setHost("localhost:8080");
beanConfig.setBasePath("/MyApp/api");
beanConfig.setResourcePackage("rest");
beanConfig.setPrettyPrint(true);
beanConfig.setScan();
getClasses();
}
#Override
public Set<Class<?>> getClasses() {
final Set<Class<?>> classes = new HashSet<>();
classes.add(UserResource.class);
classes.add(MessageService.class);
return classes;
}
}
And here is one of my resource files:
#Path("/users")
public class UserResource {
private UserService service = new UserService();
#DELETE
#Path("/{userId}")
public void deleteMessage(#PathParam("userId") int id) {
service.deleteUser(id);
}
#POST
#Path("/{userId}/follow/{userToFollowId}")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public void followUser(#PathParam("userToFollowId") int userId, int userToFollowId) {
service.followUser(userId, userToFollowId);
}
#POST
#Path("/register")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public User registerUser(User user) {
return service.registerUser(user);
}
#PUT
#Path("/{userId}")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public User updateUser(User user) {
return service.updateUser(user);
}
#GET
#Path("/{userId}")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public User getUser(#PathParam("userId") int id) {
return service.getUser(id);
}
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<User> getAllUsers() {
return service.getAllUsers();
}
#GET
#Path("/{userId}/followers")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<User> getFollowers(#PathParam("userId") int id) {
return service.getFollowers(id);
}
#GET
#Path("/{userId}/followings")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<User> getFollowings(#PathParam("userId") int id) {
return service.getFollowings(id);
}
#GET
#Path("/{userId}/kweets")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<Kweet> getKweets(#PathParam("userId") String username) {
return service.getKweets(username);
}
#GET
#Path("/{userId}/timeline")
#Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<Kweet> loadTimeline(#PathParam("userId") int id) {
return service.loadTimeline(id);
}
}
The Error I'm getting is:
HTTP Status 404 - Not Found
type Status report
messageNot Found
descriptionThe requested resource is not available.

Open your IDEA module settings, and look under Artifacts. You'll find something like this
The highlighted name of the war/exploded artifact is going to be your server context path.
In my case it would become
http://localhost:8080/kwetter-0.0.1
You should replace it with yours.
Now, you need to add the #ApplicationPath path, which is /api. So it becomes
http://localhost:8080/kwetter-0.0.1/api
Now, you need to add the REST service #Path, which is /users. So it becomes
http://localhost:8080/kwetter-0.0.1/api/users
An example:
GET http://localhost:8080/kwetter-0.0.1/api/users/{userId}/followers
Be sure you don't have this checked, under Run/Debug configuration.
