no errors on tomcat startup:

rest service class:

package mail.service;  import javax.ws.rs.consumes; import javax.ws.rs.get; import javax.ws.rs.put; import javax.ws.rs.path; import javax.ws.rs.pathparam; import javax.ws.rs.produces; import javax.ws.rs.core.context; import javax.ws.rs.core.mediatype; import javax.ws.rs.core.request; import javax.ws.rs.core.response; import javax.ws.rs.core.uriinfo; import javax.xml.bind.jaxbelement;  //import org.slf4j.logger; //import org.slf4j.loggerfactory;  @path("restservice") public class restservice {         @context         uriinfo uriinfo;         @context         request request;         string id;          @get         @path("{name}")         public string sayhello(@pathparam("name") string name){             return "hello " + name;         }  } 

result:

http status 404 - /rest/restservice/testname

update: couldn't figure out whats wrong project, started scratch following : http://javabrains.koushik.org/courses/javaee_jaxrs/lessons/setting-up works now.

@path("/restservice") public class restservice {         @context         uriinfo uriinfo;         @context         request request;         string id;          @get         @path("/{name}")         @produces(mediatype.text_plain)         public string sayhello(@pathparam("name") string name){             return "hello " + name;         }  } 

http 404 file not found error, getting because didn't append / @path annotation value.

@path("restservice") should @path("/restservice") , @path("{name}") should @path("/{name}")

edit update-

added @produces(mediatype.text_plain)
