package mtitek.rest.sample; import org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig; public class MyResourceConfig extends ResourceConfig { }
Please note that for this case "MyResourceConfig" is useless as there's no specific code added to this class.
You can run your code without it, just replace its full path in the file "web.xml" by "org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig".
